Wordy Wednesday - Charlie Taylor at the Vet

Charlie Taylor agrees to exit the PTU to investigate some goodies from Dr. Smith.

Leslie and Dr. Smith talk to Charlie.

Dr. Smith makes some notes about our sweet Charlie.

Here, Dr. Smith confers closely with her client.
That's one reason she is such a great vet, she really listens to the cats.

Leslie gives Charlie T. a yummy treat -- Recovery Diet -- made of all sorts of stinky things. He loves it. We brought some home with us, too!

Cheryl is one of Charlie's old friends from his lengthy stay. Here he is snuggling up to her.

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

Charlie Taylor was almost sick with a cold. Fortunately, having to take him in for meds refill caught it in time. He is now on antibiotic, ear drops and eye drops. Plus he has several new kinds of cat food to try, including the Recovery Diet in the photos above.

He did lose a few ounces, is at 10 pounds in weight. He is somewhat dehydrated, but with his kidney and heart issues, can't have fluids.
Dr. Smith said to remember every day with him is a gift and he is living on borrowed time.

I hope it's a really long time.

Tabby Toosday

Uh-oh, Sol is trying to play with Missy!

Missy hisses and says, "I don't want to play..."

"... leave me alone!"

Sol won't take "no" for an answer, so Missy pounces him.
They roll around until they roll over a surprised KC.
(sorry it's so blurry)

"And stay away!" says a victorious Missy,
before returning to her special cardboard perch.

See KC, behind Sol?
He just rolled over and started pouncing her!!!

Mancat Monday - Smokey, Master Thief

This is very blurry, Smokey was moving fasssst!
In his mouth is a plastic shopping bag.
Where he got it is sort of neat.

Here he is coming off the counter with his prize.

Finally, on the floor.

Now, here's what he had to do to get it.

He had to get up on the cabinets, straddle over to the top of the door, and hang over to the inside where the bag holder rests. It is attached to the top hinge.

Somehow he managed to hang on to the door top with his back feet and wiggle down into the bag holder and retrieve his bag.

Smokey can add Master Thief to his resume.

Thursday

Faith Boomerang naps in her favorite window.

KC resting in the chair.

BJ is napping right beside Daddy Charley.

Missy Blue Eyes asleep and dreaming.

Charlie Taylor sits on Daddy Charley's [very] messy desk.

Easy Sunday

Here's sweet little KC asleep in her special basket.
Note the Nip Ravioli close by.

Here's little Charlie Taylor, also asleep in a basket on Daddy Charley's desk.

KC comes up to see who is in the basket!

Charlie Cat hisses "I saw it first" and KC runs off!

Thankful Thursday

There is so much to be thankful for on this Thankful Thursday.

This isn't the best photo. It was dark because of the 101F heat and sun coming in this west window, so I lightened it to show detail. And what details? Why Charlie Cat, Missy Blue Eyes and Sol all hanging out together! Wow.

Ginger Jasper's Mom Carol read my post about us having to use our savings to help pay on Charlie Taylor's ginormous vet bills. Savings that were supposed to buy a wedding ring for me.
She sent me this beautiful gold wedding band. It belonged to her Mum who went to Heaven last November. It is a beautiful ring, the detailing is sparkly and very unique. I love it because it is so pretty, but even more because she sent it to me and it was her mothers. It is just priceless to me. Thank you so much, Carol.

Mancat Monday - BJ

A good mancat takes care of his sisfurs... BJ & Missy Blue Eyes!

Thankful Thursday

Charlie is getting so lively, he's jumping up on furniture. He has also discovered a love of ham. Look how he curls his tail up beside him.

Here he is grooming, his paws seem to pick up and track litter like none of the other cats. You can see how pretty his teeth are.

Here is my beautiful BJ yawning.

Here are BJ and KC in a cuddle and snuggle session. I love the way the cats get along.

Tecknickle Tortie Toosday Updated

I feel so bad fur Asta's beans losing all them's photos. It is so easy to do sumfing like that, I's done it, too. So I's updating mine two artickles about backing up yours bloggies (KC Sez Backup Yours Blog and Tecknickle Tortie Toosday) using Greg's Cool Blogger Backup Utility, a fast, free backup utility that only works for Blogger blogs.

The current nooest release is v1.09.23. There is a tutorial on Downloading the Blogger Backup Utility 101 and screenshots to walk you thru installashun. Again, iffen you haf problems or need help, just ask. Like I said before, I's always happy to help unless I's taking a nap or chasing a bug or sumfing. And even then, I's help you afferwards. Hee hee. An Greg is a furry nice guy who's also happy to help when him's not waiting on him's kitties.

Once you download and install Blogger Backup, it is ready to use. It will automatikally find all yours bloggies... just enter yours Google login and password. Or, iffen you want to, you can manually enter the URL fur each bloggie.

After you haf a list of blogs, just select the one to backup by clicking the "Backup Posts" button. It's furry fast. The "Restore Posts" button is used, of course, if sumfing happened to yours bloggie.

I back up ours bloggies to an external hard drive that connects to the computer via a USB port and also to DVDs.

That takes care of yours bloggie, but wherever you store your photos, you should haf a backup. Asta's beans had them's photos organized using Picasa, free photo software from Google. I like Picasa cause when you install it, it searchs an finds all the photos on yours computer. I finded lots I didn't even know I had. There are easy instrukshuns to backup to a CD or DVD or to an external drive.

I hope this helps a bit. Iffen you haf questions, comments or suggestshuns, just leave them in the comments.

Love and Purrs,
KC
