My Gotcha Day and Other News

Hello, friends!  I'm so sorry we've fallen out of the blogosphere.  It's been a busy year, and there is so much to share.  I'm not sure where to start.

I'll start by saying that today is my 3rd GOTCHA DAY! I'm so happy I was gotted.  My mom and I are real buds - I'm always watching out for her and giving her cuddles and swats!  We talk a lot.  Having a forever home is the best!

In some sad news, my sister Fuzzy went to the Bridge last month.  She had an eventful couple of months.  She had surgery to have a tumor removed from her side, but she recovered like a champ from that!  But a couple of weeks later, her poor little kidneys just almost stopped working.  My mom made the decision to help her to the Bridge, but it made her cry a lot.  We miss Fuzzy bunches, but we know it was the kindest thing to do for her.  

Now that Fuzzy is gone, I don't get to eat as much Fancy Feast!  I still scream for it, but I don't get it three times a day.  Heck, sometimes I don't even get it once a day!  And I don't get other treats on demand either.  My mom and I will have to discuss this sometime soon, during one of our evening chats.  At least I still get plenty of lap time and cuddles and brushies and petties.  And I took over Fuzzy's spot on the pillow next to my mom's in bed, so that's good too.

Sorry for no photo.  My mom almost FORGOT my gotcha day, so I made her type up a quick blog while she's at work.  I'll try to write more soon and let you know if anything else goes on at the OK Cat's House.  Love you all!

Love, Zoe

Fantastic Friday

Hi Friends!  First, let me say a big fat THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by last week to wish me a happy birthday and a happy gotcha day!  Being 17 doesn't feel any different than being 16, but this year wasn't as big of a let down as last year - I really, really wanted a car when I turned 16.  Anyway, life is good, and our friends rock!

And today is MY birthday - I'm SIX!  My mom has kitten pictures that were given to her from the shelter, but she broke my little orange heart by not scanning them in so I could show you all my baby pictures.  It's ok, though, because now that I'm SIX, I have to learn to accept disappointments like a big girl.  Y'all are welcome to come over if you want!  We can play chase or play with mousies or whatever you want to do!  Our mom is gone until at least 7, so we gots all day! 

You'll see that we failed to keep the promise of showing new photos.... we swear on a bag of Temptations that we'll post some brand new ones this weekend or we're going to throw our mom out of a basement window.

Have a super duper weekend, friends!!!!

Just Another Sunday

Hi, Friends!  Well, it looks like we're still not back to regular blogging or visiting, but we wanted to say hi!  And I wanted to show you a picture of ME so you could see that our mom did NOT trade us in for a dog.  See me smiling at you?

Hmmm, maybe that's not a good picture.  Here's a closeup...

So, let's see, what's up... Fuzzy already told you this is the year of "ME", - for our mom, at least.  She's spending her nights at a gym trying to stop being fat, doing yoga or cardio or other things that make her hobble around the house like a broken down geezer.  And she got a new job, but with her same company, so she's been busy wrapping up things from her old position and trying to learn what her new job even IS!  But the worst part is she may have to travel across an ocean or two to India at the end of the month.  We'll definitely keep you posted on that - there will be a house trashing party of the highest magnitude if she leaves.  

As for the important stuff - me and Fuzzy - we're both fantastic.  Our birthdays are both this month.  I'll be SIX!  Fuzzy's 16th Gotcha Day is also this month (we don't really know when her birthday is, so we say that her birthday is 1 year before her Gotcha Day - she'll be 17!).  Both of us are in good health and are being really good girls! 

So, what's new with YOU?

Easy Like Sunday

Hello, Friends!  Sorry, no photos, but hey, it's a start!  We know we've missed so much that has gone on in the Blogosphere, and we're terribly sorry.  We just got overwhelmed and had to disconnect from everything for a while.

Now we have a new year and a new attitude!  There are some changes here that we hope will be good.  First and foremost, our mom has sworn that she will not be on any committees, boards, or anything else for one year, work or otherwise.  She had become a totally crabby pants with so many things going on.  This year is the year of ME, well, HER, I guess.  And we're ok with that, because part of that includes US!  Yep, we're going to get to blog again!  It won't be every day - we're not exactly sure yet how often it will be.  And we won't get to visit every day, but we are going to try to visit at least once a week, if not more often.  It all depends on that darned schedule she's planning.

Anyway, we're all fine.  I, Fuzzy, am doing fantastic - especially for a girl going on 17!  Zoe is also doing well, but she's getting yelled at a lot.  I kind of feel sorry for her - she doesn't mean to be bad, she just is!  We'll try to put up some pictures on our next post.  We hope you'll all forgive us for being bad blogging friends.  Until next time!
