Its a Big Bad World Out There

Yesterday, Mom brought the big crate that I came in, into the house. I just knew something was up. She usually puts me in the small crate...

Then today, she put me in the crate, put me in the van and Mom, eldest girl human and I went for a looooooong drive. We went to a place with lots and lots of noisy people...it was horrible. Mom sat with me but I just wanted to go home. Some people came and niced me, Mom talked with them about me, and then the people went away.

Mom says that we are looking for my "forever home" but I like living with Mom, Socks and Abby. This is a nice home with lots of food, water and love. There were some kittens there, they got alot of people to pick them up...

...they seemed to like all the attention. I think it was because they were kittens and didnt know any better. Would you believe that there were 5 kittens in that cage? They were so little, I wanted to say Hi, but they wouldnt let me.

After a little while, and a nap, Mom took me out of the big cage and we went home, I wouldnt go into the carrier. But Mom said that was ok, that she would carry me. We got back into the van and drove home...I went to the litterbox, got a drink and hid from everyone for a while. I am feeling better now though. I hope that Mom doesnt take me to another place like that

Lost Tooth

Mom discovered yesterday that I had lost one of my long pointy teeth. She was all upset that she hadnt noticed before that it wasnt there. So, she poked and made me show her my teeth a few times last night. And then today she brought me to the vet people again. She said that it wasnt a special trip just a "follow up". (I dont know if I understand "follow up"...I follow her to the kitchen at dinner time and I follow her up on the couch and sit by her. I follow Socks all the time. Oh well.) Oh well, we went to the vet people and they checked in my mouth and the lady there told Mom that my tooth had been missing for a long time. I could have told her that. I dont remember exactly when I lost my tooth, but it wasnt in the last couple of months that I have been living here.

Mom seemed to be relieved a bit. The vet lady says that I have an "acne" on my chin though, and Mom has to wash it every day and put some medicine on it. I am not sure I like the sound of this. Mom has a sneaky way of closing all the doors to the under the bed places and I have to hide in the "cat tree", where she can get me. I am going to have to find a new hiding place.

Well, I have to go, before Mom gets done making dinner for the little humans.

Laters,

Welcome!

In honor of this blogs first day on BlogAzoo...I want to say hello to everyone visiting. Abby, Blackie and I are happy that you stopped by, we hope that you enjoy your visit here.

A little about us...My name is Socks, I am a properly dressed Tux kitty. My Hu-Mom is wonderful and takes really good care of us. The Vet people told my Hu-Mom that I was FIV+, and I am now an inside kitty, though I would love to go outside and lay in the green grass and watch the birds.

Abby is a very shy kitty, but she loves to hang out with Blackie and I. Abby is also FIV+ but she is not sick or anything. She is warming to our Hu-Mom slowly, and is still not sure that she wants to get scritches.

Blackie is what our Hu-Mom calls a Foster-Kitty. Blackie to, is FIV+, Mom says that we are taking care of Blackie till a good forever home can be found for him. Mom is very concerned about kitties that have to live in cages, and would really love for all kitties could have a good home. Mom encourages those who can (or want to) to visit

Well, that pretty much covers everything. I hope that you have a nice visit, play with some fake mice, eat some catnip but please dont use the furnature as a scratching post (Mom really doesnt like that)

Happy Easter!

Nurse-Kitty

Mom had the flu the other day. She was really sick and slept alot. I made sure that she was ok. everytime she went to the 'bathroom', I went with her, and when she went to lay down in bed I would snuggle up and make sure she was ok. I even got a little worried about her and woke her up with a little nip on the nose. She said that I was a really good "Nurse-Kitty". I am glad that I made Mom feel better.

Lap Kitty

I have been really nice to Mom lately. Today I decided to lay in her lap for a few minutes. I am trying to butter her up...maybe she will let me outside. Well, maybe not :(

OUCH!

My Hu-Mom took me to the place she called the "pet store". I didnt know what to expect, but because she put me in the sleeping bag and in the "Carrier", I knew it couldnt be good. She petted me and told me she loved me and that I was a good kitty.

When it was our turn, a lady took some buzzing things and then some wet stuff and finally an ouchy. Mom said that I was getting a "Micro-Chip". I dont know what that is but I am pretty sure I dont like it. Mom said that she was worried that if I went outside, I might get lost. She said that if someone found me and didnt know where I lived, they might not be able to bring me home.

The lady who gave me the micro-chip didnt seem to understand why mom wanted me to get it, as I don't go outside. Mom said that the door was always opening with the little humans going inside and outside and she was worried that I might escape some day. I think it might have had something to do with the loud noise that Mom made (Two posts down). She started talking about the Micro-chip thing after that.

It doesnt hurt anymore, and Mom said that I was a brave girl, and I didnt even move a muscle when they put the micro-chip in. She even bought me 3 of my favorite little toy mice. I just hid in my sleeping bag, and prayed that mom would bring me home so I could hide under the bed.

Plea for homeless kitties

(picture links to more photos of Blackie, please feel free to drop by and take a look)


This past week marked Blackies 3rd month in our home. Like so many other homeless and foster kitties, he is a wonderful cat that deserves a good home. I know that the 'friends' that Socks, Abby and Blackie have, through this blog and through our real life, know of the needs of my favorite furry foster friend and other homeless kitties. I can only hope that someone new who is visiting for the first time will see this site, and will consider adding Blackie, or another wonderful kitty to their home.

Normally Socks, Abby or Blackie add to the posts here, but today, their Hu-Mom is posting. It makes me so sad to visit sites like Pet Finder and Mary's Kitty Korner (where Blackie is prominently listed) and see so many loving, adorable, beautiful, purring, sweet and (did I say) Loving? kitties.

Please, Please, Please consider making a homeless kitty an addition to your home. You will never regret it, they have so much love to give.

Socks, Abby, and Blackies Hu-Mom

Whats that Noise!?!?!

Mom did something awful today. She was cooking the human food and it got a little smoky in the house. She opened the window and turned up the fan that is on the ceiling. But after a few minutes...This horrid noise started!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to go into the bedroom, but the noise just followed me. Mom picked me up and put me in the bathroom, the noise wasnt so bad in there. She also tried to put Blackie in the bathroom too, but he was to scared. Abby just stayed under the bed. After a few minutes the noise stopped, but I was not sure where it came from so I didnt want to venture out right away. Blackie didnt either. And Mom held Abby for a while so that she was calmed down.

I hope that Mom doesnt make the noise come back, it was really scary

Happy St Patrick's Day!
