Stitches? I don't need no stinkin stitches!

Nutmeg was spayed last Thursday. By Saturday she had chewed through her stitches and pulled them out. So, now she has to wear vet wrap for a week. I'm not sure she finds this option any better.

Meggie got a new toy today. It has feathers and cheaps like a bird when the toy is jolted or moves. It cheaped all the way home in the car!

Nutmeg is a close kitty. She loves to sleep along your shoulder or sit on your chest with her head under your chin. Hopefully, she will be a small cat because that could get annoying if she grows to be as big as Dobbie or Spenser.
Uncle Onslow is a year into being diagnosed with stomach cancer. We made this summer as fun as possible for him. He was allowed out of the cattery most days, where he chose to nest in the garden sleeping in the sun. He has several lumps on his stomach that you can feel now and he doesn't like to be carried anymore. True to his name, he has played with the kitten, Nutmeg.
Padme is still winning cuteness awards. She is quite a poser. She has resigned herself to the kitten outside in the cattery, but won't tolerate Nutmeg in the house. She was the last cat to come around and play with Meggie.
Nutmeg was returned to us within 48 hours. The home she went to had a one year old cat that tried to do her in. When she came back home, Nutmeg had already lost weight and was obviously stressed. It must have been bad, because at our house she ran our cats ragged. We were surprised that there was a cat who could intimidate her. Not too long after she came home the male cats started playing with her instead of hissing at her. It took another two weeks to cave and start playing. I don't think Meggie will be a large cat, nor will she be the brightest bulb in the box. But she is cute and lots of fun.
Sneaky Pete is enjoying a few hours in the house alone with no kitten. Oddly, Pete has been the nicest to the kitten of all our cats. Odd to us, since he hates all other cats. This weekend, Pete feels like the fourth day of a three day pass. He had dental surgery a couple of days ago and is sleeping off the sedation.

Help removing wall paper

This was no help at all.
It was a great day, cool and sunny. It will be raining by the end of the day. The cats took advantage of the nice day.



Pete and Padme said they would help me un-wallpaper the bedroom.

Actually, they are no help at all.

Nutmegs last day with us

Nutmeg went to her new home Friday night. We knew we needed to let her go, but it was very hard to do that. She went from a nearly dead ugly kitten to a stunning silver fox with stunning eyes and an awesome personality. We hope she is happy at her new place.

Jarhead Kitty

This little feral female tried to get a drink of rain water from a quart glass canning jar and got her head stuck. After we got that problem solved I gave her a bath and flea dipped her. Turns out she is very pretty when not covered in rain water and mud. A local business man took her home and she is settling in well.

Cute Girl

Padme learned to do this trick when you tell her she is cute.
