This picture was taken a year ago last winter. Tabby is stretched out along my legs, and Rori is snuggled up with Lydia. I (Karen) am the bump under the blanket with my hair on the pillow.

Window Watching
Carbon writes:
It's been an exciting day today! For the last few days, there have been people working on the house next door, right in front of our living room window! I sat in the window all day today and watched them. They're putting new siding on the house and making all sorts of noise, with ladders and pails and other interesting things around. I hop down to eat, drink, and use the litter box, but then it's right back up into the window to watch again!

Feral Friday by the Trailer Kitties
Food bowl rollcall:
Just the girlcats this time, and one boy cat. Starla, Boo-Boo Kitty, Little Bit, and Shadow. No boy cats except for SpongeBob, and no raccoon. The lady saw the black tom cat a few houses down, sitting in their driveway, but he wasn't seen on the back porch.
Things have been pretty quiet around here this week. Starla decided to go up on the roof to catch squirrels, and when she saw the man she went to the edge of the roof and meowed like she wanted him to come up and get her down. He knows she can get down by herself, though, so he just talked with her for a bit then went inside. Later on, he saw she was on the porch so he picked her up and brought her inside for a bit to socialize with the inside cats.

Carbon's Fashion Friday
Two weeks ago, we told you about our favorite chair. This week, I want to share one of our favorite nap places. It's a stool that Mommy got from her Avon catalog as a demo (product #101699 "decorative stool"). It's supposed to be a gardening stool, and supposedly easy to snap together and apart. Well, Daddy had to put it together because it has a suspension bar (the one on the bottom with the holes in it) that snaps together. But once it was up, we quickly adopted it for snoozing! It's soooo comfortable! Mommy's seen some at Bi-Mart that are green canvas, but we love the bright floral print canvas of ours better. And, as you can see, it's just the right size.

Taking care of Mommy
Yesterday, Mommy went to the doctor to find out the results of her tests. All her blood tests came back normal, so that's really good. The results from her physical were a different story. The doctor diagnosed her with fibromyalgia. Basically this means she has a lot of pain all over her body. She even got bruises just from the slight pressure during the physical.
When she got back home, she immediately lay down in bed again, and we all climbed up to snuggle with her. Rori and Smokey brought her their toys to throw, and we all got petted. Then she fell asleep with all of us snuggling. When she woke up, she had been "gifted" with three sparkle balls.

Good news for Snoopy the Therapy Cat!
The petition worked: the Windsong management are allowing Snoopy to stay! Here's the link to the latest from The Cat's Meow with the update.
Nearly-Wordless Wednesday
This is Smokey's and Little Bit's now-angel sister: Baby Chiba. She was the daughter of our feral Outdoor Fluffy Buddy, and looked exactly like him.Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Very urgent petition!
I don't know if you've read it or not, but Skeezix has a petition on the blog he and his mom do for Catster: The Cat's Meow. There's a resident therapy cat at a nursing home in Ohio who is facing eviction by the new administrators of the home. The cat has been confined to the room of the resident he "adopted", and was being allowed to stay there, but the administrators have since changed their mind and are going to evict him. The resident's doctor even wrote a note saying that this would be very detrimental to the resident's emotional health, and they're ignoring it!
Click here for the story and the address to write letters in support of Snoopy and his human friend.
As a fellow therapy cat, I am outraged at this! Therapy animals are pets and don't have any government-sanctioned rights like service animals, but these people should know enough about the power of purr to let Snoopy stay!
Please, please, everyone, write to them! Mommy is going to!
Love,
Tabby.

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!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy (belated) Valentine's Day from the PDX pride!
Tabby says:
I went on a special Valentine's Day stroll today. Mommy and I left the house and said hi to SpongeBob, who was on the front porch. He sniffed me in the stroller and then rolled over for tummy rubs on the sidewalk. Mommy took me on the bus to Petco and had my picture taken. After about 10 different tries, most of which I was trying to get the cameraman to pet me instead of taking my picture, we finally got one that worked.
Then, I walked around the whole store, spending most of my time in the dog food aisle. A lady kept following us, asking all kinds of questions about me and my leash-walking and training. She also pet me quite a bit, and then her daughter pet me also. She joked around with Mommy that I must be some kind of a new breed of animal, a "cat-dog" or "dog-cat"! Here's a video of me walking around the store.
When it was time to go, I growled at Mommy because I wanted to stay. I love being out so much that I never want to leave when it's time! She said we had to go, and put me back in the carrier. We went to the store where we get my outfits, and they had the St. Patrick's clothes already, so we got a dress for me. Mommy's going to go back later today to bring them one of my Valentine's cards; she forgot to bring it with us.
We took the bus back home. Here's a picture of the bus at the mall.
When we got back to the house, our neighbors were just leaving, so I hopped out of the stroller to say hi to them. Then they started their truck and drove away. I got really scared and jumped and tried to run, but Mommy had my leash so I didn't get far. I crouched down and looked at the truck going away, swishing my tail. Then I walked up to the house and patiently waited for Mommy to open the door, and in I went.

Photo Friday: Pet
Oh, boy! Our whole blog could qualify for this one! This is Mommy with our now-angel-kitty Sara. Sara Kitty lived to be 17 or 18 years old, and was put to sleep in January (old age and dementia). Our family adopted her for the last year of her life, and she was loved and cared for until the end. You can read more about her time with us on her Catster page.

13 things that happened yesterday
For this week's Thursday Thirteen, we'd like to present 13 things that happened yesterday at our house (photos are Starla, SpongeBob, and the candles):
- Mommy went to the doctor's twice. She's getting tested for things that may have caused iritis (inflammation inside her eye). She's ok, though, and over the iritis, but we'll know more when the lab results come back. It's probably just a random thing, but they want to make sure.
- Daddy's dad went home from the hospital. He had a urinary tract infection and a staph infection for a week, but the antibiotics worked well enough that now he's able to be at home again.
- Starla came inside to visit.
- Rori hissed at Daddy when he went to lie down in the bed, because it meant she had to move.
- Smokey treated Mommy like a big squeaky toy, chewing on her hair, climbing up her jeans to get to her belt while she was getting dressed, jumping on her, tracking her fingers for pouncing, and taking the shoelaces away while she was putting on her shoes.
- Carbon swiped at Starla, thinking she wanted to play.
- It snowed, but didn't stick.
- SpongeBob came inside, with disastrous results (see our previous entry).
- Mommy cleaned up after the disaster.
- The power went out in the whole neighborhood.
- Tabby chased flashlight beams and candlelight.
- Carbon snuggled with Mommy and Daddy on the couch.
- The power came back on, but we still had the lights off for "cozy effect" for a while and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Cat fight!
Rori, alpha kitty of the house, writes:
The giant kitty SpongeBob came in this evening, and I went ballistic! I did NOT want him in MY HOUSE! I puffed up, hissed, and slunk all over. He played for a while, then went around saying hi to everyone. When he came toward me, I hid under the couch. He saw me, and walked over by me to say hi. I hissed, so he walked away. I followed him, slinking behind him, with Tabby following me. SpongeBob walked into the office room, with us following right behind him, then tried to turn around. I was all puffy still, and I lashed out at him. He swiped back and hissed, then I lit into him. When Mommy clapped, he ran away but I turned on Tabby and she and I rolled in a furry, hissing fight into the living room. SpongeBob by this time had run up to the window escaping me, then over by the door. Skylar got scared because SpongeBob ran right by him, and Daddy got scratched on the arm. Mommy and Daddy clapped a lot to try to separate me from Tabby, and we separated after a few tries (the first few times we separated, I attacked her right off again). Then I ran by Smokey and swiped at her, while Tabby hissed and growled. Smokey went into fight mode and lashed out, then ran onto the top of the dishwasher.
Mommy let SpongeBob out the door, then put me into the bedroom. Then she cleaned up in the office, because SpongeBob peed in there when I attacked him. He didn't spray; it was obviously because he was scared, not because of territory. He was just so scared he wet.
Everyone's ok physically, just very scaredy at the moment. Mommy let me out, and I slunk around for a bit, but now I'm almost walking again. Everyone's investigated the spot in the office. Carbon came out from under the bed, and Skylar hopped back up with Daddy. I haven't yet apologized to the others, so they are still avoiding me, and Smokey tried to swipe at me. Tabby wanted to sniff me, and I turned like I was going to smack her again, but I didn't.
Update: I went up to Mommy and apologized. Then I went over to Smokey and apologized to her by sniffing her tail. Then I made the rounds to the others and sniffed them too, apologizing to them.

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.

Photo Friday: The Team
Just found the "Photo Friday" fun, so sorry my post is late.
Here's the tag team of squirrel watchers, Carbon (on left) and Rori (on right)...
and here's their squirrel friend, totally unconcerned that cats are watching him!Click here for more Photo Friday posts.
We found Bizzy!
Guess what??!!!???!!!! That's right, kitties of the blogosphere! We found Bizzy! And.........it's not a kitty, it's a TOY! No wonder our mommies and daddies like it. We tried it out, too, and it is fun, but it got boring after a while. Why do the beans play with it a lot longer than we do? Don't they get bored with it too?
Carbon's Sleepy Saturday
I was awfully tired after running around playing with Tabby, Rori, and Smokey, so I took a good, long nap on the bag of mail that needs to be shredded. It made a comfy pillow. *yawns*

Friends Friday
Skylar's best human friend is his "Mommy Erin". She lived with us for almost a year, and comes over to visit often still. He hadn't seen her for a few months because of the holidays and because her 1-year-old son threw the cell phone in the tub and she lost our number (!), but the second he heard her voice he perked right up! They spent some time snuggling and posed for photos with both Mommy's camera and Erin's camera.
Around the Cat Blogosphere, we'd like to recognize our new friends Milo & Alfie over at The Cat's Meow! They have the same office chair we do, and we mentioned them in our Fashion Friday post about it.
See other Friends Friday posts at Kiddo's page.
News from the Food Bowl
Feral Friday food bowl rollcall at the green house:
Outdoor Fluffy Buddy, Big-headed black tom kitty, orange-headed kitty, Boo-Boo, Little Bit, the raccoon, Starla, SpongeBob, Shadow, and the orange cat from down the street. Everyone came this week again, even the raccoon.
No females are in heat anymore, so the yowling has gone away for the moment. Starla and Smokey will be spayed on March 4th, and we have a vet for the big-headed black tom kitty to be neutered as well (but not a date set yet). All their "fixes" will be done through the Tom & Mom Special. Many, many thanks to organizations like these who provide low-cost spaying and neutering!

It's a cat chair!
We have a grey chair that we absolutely love. Our humans think it's their office chair, but it's really OUR chair. We just let them use it.
Skylar and his sister Lydia chilling on the chair
Carbon playing underneath the chair
Rori relaxing on the chair
They make great scratching posts, climbing toys, and (of course) snuggle places. We've found some other cats around the internet who also have one of these purrfect chairs!

I went someplace!
Smokey the foster kitten here, to tell you about my great adventure last evening! I've been begging and begging to go outside, and finally Foster Mommy said I could! But she wanted to put me in the carrier to go out. I didn't want to go in there, but she said that was the only way she was letting me out, and I was going to go with her to her class. Well, I didn't know what a "class" was, but I knew I wanted to go somewhere, so I let her put me inside the carrier.
First we walked down the street. I thought ok, I've been here before, what's so great about this. We walked by where the bunnies were, and then I started really looking around. I'd never been this far down the road before! We actually crossed the road! We waited a bit, then a big scary monster came and picked us up. Foster Mommy said it's called a "bus". It spit us out after a bit, then we waited for another "bus" to come chomp us.
Waiting for the bus. I want out to explore!
Ewww! Why do humans leave cigarette butts on the sidewalk? Why do they smoke at all?
Those cars are loud, but I want to see them!
Finally we were at "class". It was a big building with carpet and lots of new people. They all spoke a funny language I didn't understand, and Foster Mommy was the leader. She says it's called "Norwegian". She let me out of the carrier, and I walked around on the table then explored the room. A couple times during class, I hopped back on the table for pets from Foster Mommy or to look at all the other people and say hi. I also took a nap on a chair for a while.
After class, I jumped up on the piano to investigate it. Then we went on the "bus" monster again, back home. I knew when we were almost home, and started to get very wiggly inside the carrier. Foster Mommy didn't let me out until we were inside, though. I went right over to the food bowl to eat, because I was hungry from all that adventuring!
P.S. Foster Mommy says she made an appointment for my spay. She says Starla and I are going in on March 4th.

P.S. Foster Mommy says she made an appointment for my spay. She says Starla and I are going in on March 4th.
Unusual happenings at the green house
Warning: These pictures not suitable for kittens under the age of 4 months!
These are both female cats. The tabby one is Rori, who just got spayed. She is alpha cat of the house. The grey one is our foster kitten Smokey, who is in heat. This is what happened when Rori got fed up with Smokey's yowling!
Obviously, they are going to be spending time in separate rooms now when the humans are not home, and Smokey will be in with me for sleeping until she gets spayed. I looked it up on the net, and it seems to be a common dominance behavior for females.

Monday Movie
Our Monday movie this week was filmed in 2007 by a friend of the family, Erin, who lived with us for a while. It features Tabby, Carbon, Skylar, and Lydia. Lydia was Skylar's sister, and has since gone to the Bridge.

Easy Like Sunday Morning...in the dark
The man looked out the window, and saw us (Little Bit and Starla) sitting on the porch railing looking in at him! We love sitting here and chilling, saying hi to any of the inside kitties who happen to look out the window at us (and the humans if they do). The man told the lady to come with the camera, and she got this picture of us.
She also looked out the back door and saw our raccoon friend again. He wondered if she was going to run him off, so he watched her the whole time. He even stood up on his hind legs, watching her as he pulled the food from the bowl like someone eating chips and watching the game. Yes, Super Bowl reference, but after all it is today!
