Newsflash: Starla's eating again!
Starla writes:
All of a sudden, yesterday evening, I felt my tummy rumbling in a good way! I was hungry! I went over to my food plate to see if there were any crunchies there, and licked up two tiny pieces. I wasn't sure they would taste good, but I figured it was worth a try. Then I lay back down on my beloved heat vent to rest some more.
Daddy brought out the red dot and I heard the sound of the keychain it's on, so I walked down the hallway to the dining room to watch the others play. I tracked the dot around for a while. When Tabby and Mommy came back from visiting (she's doing a report on that tomorrow or the next day), we all got canned food. I came out again for that, but Mommy force-fed me my two baby spoons of it. I had some water, then everyone played red dot some more. I put my paw out for it a couple times! Heimdall didn't want me so close to it, so he smacked me in the face, but I knew he didn't really mean it so I didn't react. He jumped over Dare at one point, running after the dot!
I got fluids again last night and this morning, then I ate some more crunchies twice on my own. Five pieces at once the last time!
Thank you so much for all your good thoughts, well-wishes, purrs, grrs, prayers and rumbles! I can feel everyone's love and caring, and it's really helping me! I go in for a recheck and more bloodwork tomorrow morning.

Sunday Summary
We've had a lot going on this week here at the PDX pride!!! Socializing, a vet visit, hunting monsters, being afraid of Mommy's witch hat (for a Halloween party at her work), and hanging out with Daddy. We'll let each other tell the highlights of the week.
Tigress writes:
I love my house and my inside family! It's so nice being inside when it's wet outside, especially when it's cold. Even when it's dry outside, I realize now that my inside family wants me to come inside to visit them at night. I've been spending almost a third of the time in with them, especially at night, but they let me out when I want. I even hopped up on the bed when Mommy was sleeping to let her know I wanted out one time, and another time I walked all the way to Daddy's chair when the TV was on to let him know I wanted out! I realize that TV isn't as scary as I originally thought, but I still don't like it. Panther and I have been getting along well. I am worried about his eyes and ears, so I make sure to check on him every time I come in. I'll let him tell how he's doing, though.
Panther writes:
I had to go to the vet again! Foster Mommy and Grandpa took me this time, because Foster Daddy started a new job and was very tired after a week of training. That's fine, because I like Grandpa. I knew what the vet was going to check, and growled at the nurse when she took out the thermometer. They were very nice to me, though. I got some new medicine that's really helping me! It's a liquid medicine, so no more drops in my eyes. The vet said my eye infection turned into an upper-respiratory infection.
The medicine is helping me so much that I now feel like playing again! This morning, I was running around trying to get my aunties and uncles to play with me, but they kept on growling and hissing. That made me nervous, so I attacked them! Mommy and Daddy yelled at me for it and stomped their feet or clapped to break up the fights. Not fun, and certainly not playing! I don't even know why I keep on getting into fights. I don't want to! Somehow, I manage to start fights, though. I try to make up for it afterward by trying to apologize to whoever I attacked, but they don't want to accept my apologies until a few hours later. Why not? Inside kitty rules are very confusing!
Little Bit writes:
I tackled a monster, but it won! No, I'm not talking about Panther, although I did fight with him and won. I'm talking about the air monster that lives underneath the house. It blows my fur around when I stand over the vent, and is nice and warm right now, but it makes a horrible sound when it starts up. Since it's started to be a little colder here, the air monster has been making sounds more often. I decided a few nights ago to fight it. Big mistake! It was in the middle of the night, so the house was mostly quiet, meaning I could hear the air monster start up. I went over to its escape route and attacked! I pulled its door open, but the door itself made such a horrible noise that I ran away! It clanged and banged, squeaking as it came up, then banged down to the floor when I ran! Mommy woke up and put the door back on the vent, because she didn't want anyone exploring the monster's lair. She calls it ductwork.
Tabby writes:
I put myself to bed last night! We were all out together for a long time, because Carbon, Starla, and I have been getting along better again. I start getting sleepy around midnight, so I curled up with Daddy for a bit, then told him I wanted to be carried into the green room for night-night time. He said I could go to bed myself. I walked over to Mommy, got my good-night petting, then walked down the hall. I hopped up onto the tote I've chosen as my bed, then yelled down the hall for Mommy to come in to tuck me in! She came in, petted me again, kissed the top of my head, turned out the light and shut the door. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Later on, she let Carbon in to join me when it was night-night time for him.

Mini Mancat Monday: Learning about Snuggles!
Panther writes:
Yesterday, Mommy and Daddy were watching TV from the couch, but then Daddy fell asleep in the chair. I don't like the TV, because I don't want those people and things coming out of the box and into the room. Everyone tells me that they stay in the box, but I still don't quite believe it. Anyway, Mommy was still on the couch. Freya climbed up to sit with her and get some pets. That looked like it was nice, so I went over to see if I could get some pets, too.
I walked by the couch. Mommy petted me a couple times, then made a clicky sound and called me up, patting the couch. I wasn't sure, so I put my front paws on the couch. Was I really allowed up there, or was it someplace for the inside-only kitties to be but not for me? No, she really was calling me up there! I hopped up on the couch, then walked over to Mommy. I got pets! She really did want me to be up there! I walked all the way over Mommy's side, then headbutted her chin while she petted me. Thank you, Mommy, for allowing me to do all the things the inside kitties do! I hopped back down, but then hopped back up and did the whole thing again, just to be sure. I got more pets, so I tried it again. Yep, it worked a third time, too!
After that, I decided I'd had enough of figuring out snuggles and the couch. I went off to play with a roller, which is a tube from the inside of a doggy poop bag roll. The humans here use those bags to bring the box stuff out to the garbage. Very strange, but I'm glad they come with the rollers inside the bag rolls, so I can play with those! I went hopping sideways around the living room after my roller, while Mommy giggled and Freya looked on with pride. Freya's becoming my inside mama cat, at least for a while until I get my forever home.

Hello again and exciting news!
Freya writes:
Hi! Sorry we haven't written for a long time, but we've been busy! Tigress has learned to eat from the inside bowl sometimes and is letting Erin pet her when Erin and JJ come to visit. Last time, she even sniffed JJ's fingers!
It's been sunny and warm lately, but yesterday morning we woke up and the world was cold and wet. No fun! Well, I thought it was no fun, but I found out differently. Last night, the invasion of the frogs started again! Mommy calls them the plague of froggies. When she came home last night, seven froggies were stuck to the front door and one was on top of the door frame! They had to be brushed onto the sidewalk and the ground before she could come in the door. We didn't get any inside, but then I saw some on the back door.
That's what they look like when they splat on the door! They stick! They can actually hop up the door. I told the others, and they all came to look. I tried catching them, but they were on the outside of the door. Darn it!
We also have a visitor, but I'll let her tell about that. She's fun to play with!

Hello! I'm Smokey, and I'm Little Bit's sister, from the same litter. I'm also Starla's cousin. If you were a friend of the PDX pride when we were on Catster, or a few years ago on here, you may remember me. My mommy is Erin, and my human brother is JJ. I usually live with them, but I've been staying with the PDX pride, Mommy Karen, and Daddy Scott for a few weeks while things settle down at my house. Dare, the youngest kitty in my family, was acting up because her person left. That made me nervous, so I started guarding the litter box and the food. I also chased Dare and terrorized her. Mommy thought it was best to remove me from my home for a while to see how Dare did. Well, that little cat was the problem, not me! So I'm going to be going back to my real home in a week or so, and Dare will come to this house. We'll see then if she starts using the litter box properly again!
I miss my family, but I knew some of the kitties here already. Of course, I know my biological family, but Rori, Tabby, and Carbon were also part of my first family because I came to live with the PDX pride when Cousin Starla did. She, Little Bit, and I would come and go in the house in Portland when we were all kittens. I didn't know the newer cats here in this house, but I settled in pretty easily and now play chase with everyone up and down the hallway! My favorite place to sleep is on the top of the recliner, above Daddy Scott's head.

Exciting news! Exciting news! My book is now available on Amazon.com and also for the Kindle! It is now priced at $9.99 for the paperback
and $2.99 for the Kindle
version. That's a 50% savings over the Blurb edition, plus now it has the electronic edition. Wow! I've already sold one for the Kindle!
I've been visiting again since September, but we've had so much going on with everything here (and Mommy started teaching her classes again) that I haven't had time to write. One of my friends at H. actually went to the next floor up to find us, because we'd missed her on her floor. She found a nurse, who found us, so we went to visit the lady! I have a couple new friends, too. Our next visit is on Wednesday, and both Mommy and I will dress up in our Halloween costumes for it!

Movie Monday: Miss Marble!
Oh, hi! I'm visiting inside more and more! I like it where it's warm by the heat vent, but I've been learning how to play spring and exploring around the open area. I've been in the kitchen and down the hall a little, even! Auntie Freya brought over her spring to show me, so she's been teaching me how to play with that. Missy came over and greeted me, but didn't want to groom me when I asked her. Mommy and Daddy pet me a lot, which I love, and I lean against their legs while purring. Everyone loves me, and I love everyone! I'm not ready to stay inside forever, though. I like visiting inside for 20 minutes or so, then ask to be let out again. I'm coming in at least three times a day, though!

They have strings in here!
Starla writes:
They have strings in this house! Not just strings that are attached to things, but real strings that I can bat around and play with! My new mommy just got one for me and dangled it, bouncing it a little, and I ATTACKED! I gave it the old one-two with my paw, then bit it and swatted it some more!
After I was kind of tired from all that exertion, because it's been a while since I've played like that, I was going to settle down for a bit. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something else wiggling! I just HAD to go pounce on it! I ran across the top of the futon, jumped down into a crouch, and swatted. It was furry! I swatted some more, then used both front paws to get it to bite, when Skylar moved a tiny bit. I realized it was HIS TAIL! I put it down and watched it for a bit. Yes, it was attached to him. But it still wiggled so invitingly! Mommy was egging me on, so I swatted again, and Skylar wiggled it higher. He WANTED me to play with it! I gladly obliged!
After playing a bit more, I settled down on the couch to rest, a little way from Skylar. Mommy petted us both and told us how happy she was that we are both playing.

Monday Movie
Today's Monday Movie is the neighbor kitty SpongeBob inside our house playing with a catnip teabag from Jake & Micah's. We found them on the Catster Marketplace, which we're part of too. The CM is a great place to shop, because everything's cat-related: either for cats or has cats on it. This toy is one of our favorites, and you can see it's his favorite toy as well!

I tricked Smokey! hahahahahaha
Rori says:
Boy, did I have fun! Smokey loves playing with balls, but sometimes it gets tiring just to watch her. Sometimes I join in, but she always hogs the toys when she wants to play. I found a way to defeat her, though! She was playing with a blue puffy ball, and Mommy threw it for her. Well, it landed in a corner right next to our "Bizzy Kitty" puzzle. I ran over to get it, picked it up in my mouth, and promptly put it in the puzzle box! Then, Smokey had to try to get it out of there before she could actually play with it. I sat on top of the box, watching her, and it was a full five minutes before she managed to get it out. Too fun! I kept looking over at Mommy, and she swears I was laughing!

We had fun yesterday :)
We had so much fun yesterday with a toy that we haven't played with in ages! Well, at least for a month or so. It's our beach playmat, and it's too big to have out all the time, so Mommy puts it away. Sometimes one of us will go sit on it when it's put away on the shelf, and it makes a good nap spot. Mommy got it out yesterday for us to really play with, so here is a video of us with it! Well, of Rori and Smokey with it, anyway. The older ones just watched.
