Trouble with the Washing Machine

As a kitty it is my personal duty to make sure everything is safe and in proper working order. Anything I see thats amiss I promptly report back to Dad. I have taken it apon myself to make sure that the dryer and washing machine function properely. For some reason Mom and Dad find this funny and took a video. Enjoy!

Sandy's "Accident"

Last night Mom ran off to her parents place. Her Dad (my Grandpa) called to tell her that Sandy her family cat had an "accident" on Krissy (her sisters) keyboard. Krissy tried cleaning off the keyboard, she even cleaned out in between all the keys and washed everything all off. It still didn't work after and smells like cat poop. Mom says that she wouldn't of even tried cleaning it off. A keyboard ain't worth that. She thinks it's pretty funny. I do too! Way to go Sandy. Maybe Krissy will think twice now about leaving for the weekend. Now how to get Mom and Dad to learn that lesson. Hmmmmm

Here's a video I found today of Flair playing fetch with Mom. In the video she's fetching nerf darts but she'll fetch bobby pins, plastic forks, hair clips, toys, nerf darts, and bottle caps. I personally hate the nerf gun, the parents got it to keep me off the table and counter. Flair however obviously doesn't respect the darts like I do.

Flair's Vet Visit

Oh I forgot to tell you Flair went to the vet at the end of April. Not for her routine vacinations just to get her program shot. She will now continue to be flea free for the next 6 months. She went with Sandy Mom's childhood cat. Sandy is 13 years old and huge! No one can bring Sandy to the vet besides Mom she is only calm with her. Even Flair behaves better with Mom there than Dad. Flair didn't like Sandy and growled at her the entire time. Flair doesn't like change. The first time I had a bath after we got her she hissed and growled at me for two days. She didn't know who I was and wouldn't stay in the same room as me. Didn't bother me though. I needed a bath, I made a huge mess in my carrier and well a bath is better than having to lick myself clean. Anyway Flair and Sandy will have to go back to the vet in August. This time Flair will get her vacinations. Sandy needs to go to get weighed again. She has been a steady weight for the last few years but over the last year she has lost 2lbs. This is a big drop. If she has lost more weight in August then the vet will do blood work to find out why.

Oh and Flair turned 1 on May 2nd!
Happy Birthday Flair Bear.

My Birthday is coming up too. Both Flair and I are May kittens.

Shedding

Hey, I just wanted to share with you a picture Mom took of Flair and I sleeping on the futon.

Now that the sun is coming out Flair and I have been shedding a lot. Mom has been brushing us as much as she can. Flair is getting pretty bad dandruff on her back. This weekend she sat on Moms lap for hours while she brushed her trying to get all the hair and dead skin out of her coat. She also forced me to eat some toniclax. I hate that stuff. I run around trying to get away from it. The parents think it stops me from getting sick on the floor. Every other cat they have had has loved the stuff. Even Flair likes it, I HATE it. Not sure why, the stuff they use to clean my teeth is supposed to be the same flavor as the toniclax and I like that stuff. Just something about the way it sticks to everything I don't like I guess. Anyway Flair's skin is really dry and Mom is worried. She thinks that either the winter was to dry (they got us a humidifier but that only helps so much) or that we may need different food. We currently eat Acana which we really like but she is thinking of getting some Orijen. Both are made in Canada from fresh locally grown ingredients. Orijen just has a higher amount of fresh meat than Acana. She also read online that adding olive oil to our dry food may help with the dry skin. Dad suggested bathing us (yep we tolerate baths) but that just may make the skin problem worse. For now Flair is just going to have to be brushed everyday and the couch vacuumed more regularly.
