A new look

I'll be sporting a someone slightly took a bite out of me look for a bit until my fur grows back in. No, no one bit me, its just shaved and looks funny. A few days ago I volunteered to be a blood donor to a kitty who lost quite a bit, unfortunately despite everyone's efforts she didn't make it past midnight that same night.



It was a bit scary but I was very brave for Lakeside's sake.

On a side note, we actually have two of her kids from a past litter up for adoption at the center, Sunny Boy and Sparky, who are a little bit shy, having been outdoor kitties for a bit, but sugary sweet once they feel comfortable.



I was able to help her out as much as I did, only because it was an emergency. My blood's not as good as it could be, I want to be able to help more kitties, but I have too much fatty stuffs inside my blood. So they're making me eat this diet type food, which is o.k. , Maddie was right, its not so bad. For those of you who don't know her, she's the kitty here who always gets asked if she's pregnant. She's worked hard and eats right and has lost about 2 lbs since January, which is a pretty big deal, and is now a solid 15lbs.

I'm looking forward to being a healthier mancat, but I wonder if I'm going to lose my mannish figure.

Hero to Catnip Everywhere!

I found some catnip trapped by an evil plastic bag buried in a dark scary drawer! It was terrified and lonely so I set it free!



Well, that's what I told the clinic manager when she found me....



I think she bought it, I'm taking the rest of the day off to enj- recuperate from my heroic deed.

Another Tired Thursday

As I wind down another day, a funny realization hits me. Of the cats that have ear notches and are up for adoption, all but one are black and white, and the one that isn't, is gray and white. So that's almost like black and white, like...dilute black and white.

There's Marc:

and the back of Mollie's head, because her notch doesn't show up really well from the front:

Tom is a clever boy OR How to get more donuts!

"Tom was eating the donuts earlier." Debbie accused, "He was licking the powder right off of these!"



I glared at her.



"Really?" Nubia said, slightly amused.
"Yes! Watch." Debbie broke off a piece of a donut and waved it in my face. I gave my best Not Interested face.



"Come on, eat it, there it is, right there." she encouraged.



I smiled and finally indulged. And that is how you get extra donuts.

Monday Relaxation

I haven't been able to wake up fully today, still getting over the weekend celebration. We had two grown up cats go to new homes! It was exciting, I mean, its always exciting when any cats find their new families, but its extra special awesome when its the grown ups and not the babies.
