Finally Friday

Chancy says...
Finally it's Friday! Cousin Babe & great grandma have been staying with us for the past 2 weeks. We have been really busy, that's why we haven't had time to blog. So we begged mom to let us blog today. Yah!
Since cousin Babe has been here, we have been chasing each other & play fighting a lot. Usually around bed time...and driving everybody crazy. Jake seems to be the real instigator here. He never seems to know when to stop. Jake loves to chase Babe and Babe loves to chase me. We fly in & out of the rooms, down the hall, over the furniture, across the beds, over & over again. Since I am the more mature cat here, I'm usually the 1st one to stop the insanity and go to sleep. Babe goes to bed with great grandma, then Jake has to go to bed, because there is no one left to terrorize.



Jake says...
Just look what I can do now. Notice how I support myself by balancing my back feet on the edge of the tank. Now I can get my front feet wet in the tank, then maybe grab a fish or two.
What a guy I am! Notice those rippling muscles...I am wonderful!

Cat's on Tuesday

This is what I love to do, nothing!
Just hang out, doing nothing!
Jake...be sure to tell mom & dad Happy Anniversary. They have been married 47 years today!

Jake recently found the birds...he loves to watch them.
Both of us like to talk to the birds.
I think they might even talk to us!

Easter and Smudge

Happy Easter to all the Cat Blogosphere

We are so sad about all the sick kitties and the kitties that went to the bridge in the past recent weeks on the cat blogosphere.
We are in prayer mode for all concerned and also very thankful...we have many healthy & happy kitties on the blogosphere.

Smudge you will be missed.
Rest in peace!

Thursday with Chancy & Jake

See Jake hanging on the drape, behind the tree?

Here he is again...it's hard to see him, but he's there!
*Some of you kitties are having trouble finding Jake in this picture...
look real close at the center of the pix...
can you see Jake's tail?

Here's where I climb, when I don't want Jake to get me. He hasn't figured out yet, all he needs to do is jump up here. Until he does, I'll enjoy the time. He loves to play fight, but I get tired of it. He is cute though!
Jake got in the dryer again today. He seems to like cuddling up with the warm clothes.

***************************************

We are sad about all the sick kitties on the blogosphere, so we are in prayer mode for all of them. We want them to get better real soon.


*Smudge lost his battle. His family helped him to the bridge. He and his family fought a long hard battle. He will be very missed by his family & friends.

Welcome Susan, to our blog!

Thank you Vickie for allowing me write a guest post for your blog!

My name is Susan Daffron and I'm the founder of the National Association of Pet Rescue Professionals (http://www.naprp.com) and the author of books on caring for adopted dogs (Happy Hound - http://www.HappyHoundBook.com) and adopted cats (Happy Tabby - http://www.HappyTabbyBook.com).

This week is National Animal Poison Prevention Week and I'd like to showcase a few tips pet owners can take to keep their cats (and other pets) safe from poisonous substances. As every cat owner knows, cats and especially kittens love to get into things. That old saying "curiosity killed the cat" can be all too true when it comes to poisons.

Cats are hunters and unfortunately people frequently use poison to kill rodents or other "varmints" in their house or yard. In the world of toxic substances, you sometimes see references on labels about injury or death of "unintended target species." If a cat hunts, kills, and eats a poisoned rodent, she can become one of those "unintended targets." (So can kids, dogs and wildlife!)

Another unintentional way cats are poisoned is when humans attempt to give them over-the-counter medication. For example, acetaminophen, which is used in Tylenol and various cold medications is extremely toxic to cats. Never give your cat Tylenol; one tablet can kill a cat.

Cats are particularly sensitive to chemicals absorbed through their skin, so read labels carefully on the pet-care and household products you use. Topical flea products, soaps, cleaning chemicals, and insecticides you might use in your house or garden often contain chemicals that are toxic to cats, so read the label of any product you intend to use.

Also be sure to "pet proof" your household. Many common houseplants and outdoor plants are toxic to cats. The ASPCA site has a list of toxic plants and other common poisons.

Any time you suspect your cat may have been poisoned, take her to a veterinarian immediately. Prompt treatment can save her life. You want your cat to remain healthy and live a long time, so take a few simple steps to keep her safe.
