Playing With Friends

Hi Everyone! It's me, Merlene!

Merlene and Tutu make their acquaintance

Chi Chi (Merlene's Sisfur) : What on earth?

Merlene : Hmm.....I feel something boring into my back

Merlene : *gulp*

Merlene : Yikes! Another one? What's out there? Zombieland?

Felix : Heh heh....Playing Zombie is FUN!

Tutu : Hey Pal! I INVENTED the game. Now you go away!
Felix : Oooooppsss.....lasers, OFF!

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.

Me And My Vine

Hellooooo little vine leaf...long time no see

Excuse me while I wipe my ears

Ah...Little vine leaf..how I love you so...

HEY ... Shoo!
::grumble grumble::
Can't a mancat enjoy his vine leaf in peace?

For those who are interested in getting some silvervine for your kitties, do visit Alice's Cat Shop. We get our supply of leaves and silvervine P-Low from her and best of all, her stuff are of great quality AND she ships international at a very reasonable rate.

Monday Madness With Merlene

First of all, we would like to wish all our furriends and family a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!  May the year of the Water Dragon bring you good health, good blessings and much happiness.

MEOW WEE!   Felix, mah man, you're so white, I need shades!

You're right.  You're definitely longer than my outstretched paws

*Clunk* Dang!  Can't clear the ESS like Uncle Boomer

I have the graceful twirl of a ballerina

Ooooffff!
*No kitty was harmed in this game*

Yikes! What is that thing?

Guess Who's Here?

It's MERLENE!

Pffffffftttt!
Hahahehehe!  Stop it!  That tickles!

GO AWAY!

That's MY basket!  Scoot!

Get O-U-T!
Nyeh nyeh...you'll have to make me!
(don't worry, the hissing was all for show only. She made no attempt to hurt Merlene in anyway and Merlene wasn't afraid of her at all)

By the next day, Meow-Me was inviting Merlene to play

Catch me if you can!!

YOU can't catch me either!

It's so nice to have Merlene boarding with us.  Her sister is here as well and though she has not embraced Merlene wholeheartedly, swatting her when she jumps on her beautiful floofy tail, the relationship is cordial. While I don't allow boarding cats to mix with other boarding cats and my own cats, I let Merlene out to play with the gang as she spent her first few weeks with us and they get along very well.  There's a lot of playing, chasing and running around among them (helps burn off those kitten energy!).

To encourage the sisters to bond, they get private play time outside as well.

Silvervine And Kittens

I gave Merlene a silvervine leaf and was quite surprised to see her reaction to it.

Whoa!  What's that?

Sniff sniff sniff

Wheeeee!!!

Nom nom nom

Hee hee haa haaa....this is making me all giddy!

Bat bat bat

Thud!

OMC.  This is some stuff!

Gah!  Silvervine overload!

Merlene's Daddy picked her up on Tuesday evening to take her home.  We sure miss that little bundle of energy running all over the house but we are happy she's a much loved member of her family now.

You take care now, you hear, little girl?  I'm sure going to miss you and I hope you remember me when you come for boarding!

Merlene Meets Her Own Kind

I wanted Merlene to mingle with her own kind so I let her out to play with Meow-Me, Coco, Felix and Boomer so she can learn cat language and manners.

Come back!  I wanna play with you!

How about you?  Will you play with me?  Please?

Let the stalking begin!

Kissy kiss

Come to Boomer!

There there now, you shouldn't have gone charging into Meow-Me's tummy.  No wonder she whapped you

Let Boomer give you a big hug

Boomer, who is usually very rambunctious, was very gentle and sweet to Merlene.  He would play with her but in such a gentle manner.  It was really heart warming to watch. Who knew?  Oh, and Boomie loves the milk that Merlene drinks and would finish whatever that's left over in the bottle (he'll open his mouth and I'll squirt it in.  He really makes me laugh!).
