A Surprise Package

For Cody's 5th Birthday, he had a huge give-away and we won a surprise from him and Mommy Caren! And the package has arrived! Woo hoo!

Tutu : Buzz off MY package!

Hey, what's this? 

Mom Caren and Cody were nice enough to include a cute little bandana for Whisky
Whisky : How do I look?  :)

The stash for the kitties

Cosmo : I choose the ModShaker! Hey, now YOU buzz off, Tutu. You're too young to appreciate nip

Boomer : OMC. This bird won't stop TALKING!

Felix : I choose you, cute feather tailed mouse

Coco :  This mouse is fun to fling about

Felix : Give it back! I saw it first. The mouse is MINE

Ling : Oh....I can't decide but they all smell nommy!
(Stay tuned for Ling's pick!)

Thank you again, Mommy Caren and Cody for the awesome selection! We LOVE it!

Holy Moly, Look Who's Here!

Do you remember me?

How about now?
Hint : I used to be really small and stayed with the Human for a few weeks

If you guessed Merlene, you got it right! She came over on Sunday with her sister for grooming. Look at how grown up she is now. The last time I saw her was back in January where she had a ball of a time with her friends.

Boomer : Hi Merlene! Do you remember me?

Merlene : Hissssss!

Poor Boomer. He was so happy to see Merlene but she couldn't remember her friends and kept hissing at them. Boomer was heartbroken.

Boomer : Hey Felix...you'll never hiss at me, right? Promise we'll be best friends forever?
Felix : You BET!

I sent Merlene for her spay Monday morning and also to get her baby canines extracted (her permanent teeth are already out but the babies show no sign of falling off). I was with her during her surgery and brought her home as soon as she woke up. Her gums are slightly swollen (she had an anti-inflammatory shot) but she is otherwise doing fine..even ate some homecooked for dinner.  :) She'll go home in another day or two.

Easy Sunday, The Tutu Way

I'll stretch to my maximum so Whisky can't get in her bed. Heehee

Make sure I occupy the center of the bed....

Ahhh...life is wonderful

This is another cozy little spot...the human's lap!

S-T-R-E-T-C-H

Squee away!

Whaaaa? You wanna use the litter box?

YAWNNNNNNNNNN

Have a lovely Easy Sunday effuryone!

Random Tuesday Tutu-ness

How shall I get Uncle Cosmo to play with me?

Ain't I just adorable? Don't you just wanna kiss my cute little black button nose? Heh heh

Don't worry, everyone, I have the Feather Monster under control

OMC! It's trying to escape! I shall use my claws of doom on it!

DIE, Feather Monster, DIE!

Where's Tutuuuuu?

Here I am!

I love to paw bat with Ling

If you or anyone you know is interested to bring a tiny but feisty little tortie into their lives, please leave us a comment or send us an email. Tutu loves human company and gets along with other furries. Having been abandoned at birth, and hand raised by me, an indoor only home would be most suitable for her. She is currently undergoing training by my cats on "how to be a cat and proper cat manners".  LOL.

Tortie Tutu Thursday

Tutu is now 9.5 weeks old and I took her to the vet for her first vaccination on Wednesday. She had a lot to say about her first vet visit.

This is Dong Dong, the clinic cat who decided he wanted sleep in MY carrier

And I had to sit here instead

Then I came to sit here, minding my own business, calmly waiting for my turn when suddenly....

Eeeep! Get off me! GET OFF ME!

As you can see, I was NOT amused by Dong Dong's ungentlemanly behavior
She was very brave and took the jab very well. She was also given a paste dewormer

GO AWAY! I'm hurting everywhere and it's all your fault.  I hate you!
About 2 hours later, she was very angry, probably because the injection site started to hurt 

Come, let's go to sleep. You'll feel better later
DON'T TOUCH ME!

I put her back in her cage to sleep and she was much happier later that night

She is the first kitty I had who became so angry and aggressive after a vaccination jab so I was a little concerned. But she's back to her normal self today and playing again. 

Baby Update

Remember the tortie baby that I'm fostering? She was found on January 21, 2012 as an abandoned newborn, so that makes her 5 weeks old today!  She is doing very well, smaller than what a momcat nursed 5 week old would be, but is very playful, active and super adorable. When my Mom saw her, she called her "Tutu" and she responded!  LOL.

While Cosmo and Ling have accepted her without any hissing, it was Uncle Boomer who was happiest to have a brand new baby to play with!

Hello!

Following Uncle Boomer

"Come here, Tutu!"

*you're so rough!  i don't like it!*

** storms off **
"Sorry Tutu, I promise to be more gentle.  Please come back..."

Is this better, Tutu?

Don't you just love that I have 2 white toes on each foot?  Heehee.

Baby Alert!

Another customer of mine was outside her house and heard a kitten crying last Saturday. After a while, she realised it was coming from a garbage heap. She lifted the garbage bags and found the little kitten in a box...alone, and obviously abandoned. She thought it belonged to a cat who liked to hang out at her neighbor's home and so they decided to leave it at the porch, hoping the mother would take it back.  The mother did not, even after several hours. She has no experience raising kittens this young so asked if I could help. So the little kitten has been with me almost a week now and we think she was abandoned from birth.  Which would make her 6 days old today.

Little kitten is a tortoiseshell and quite certainly a girl

She is very active and loud when it's time to eat / pee / poo and isn't difficult

She has a very very good appetite and drinks her milk without any fuss

Fast asleep on her warm sock (filled with rice)

She stays at our living hall where only Whisky, Cosmo and Ling move freely.  My main concern would be that her immune system is weak as she didn't get her mother's milk (colostrum).  The plan is for me to look after the kitten until it's old enough to eat on it's own and litter box trained then my customer will take her back for rehoming. If anyone's interested to adopt her, please leave me a comment.

I've been really tempted to call her Chewy as she looks a lot like Chewbacca from Star Wars.  :)  My customer called her Rubber Seed as she very much resembles one (her colours and size of her head).  She'll most likely grow up to be very pretty like Isabella.  Anyone want to suggest names for her?
