Fetching

Flair found a straw, time to play fetch. If you're a teething kitten here's a tip, get you parent to go to McDonalds and steal some straws for you to play with. They are the right combo of soft yet firm and very fun the paw at and chew on. Maybe you'll even learn to fetch them like Flair.

It's Hot!

This weekend we finally got our summer, the temperature got to 29 degrees Celsius. Now that's not very hot for other parts of the world but for us Canadian kitty's its quite the jump from freezing. Thankfully today was cloudy and cool, but Mom took some photo's of us dealing with our mini heat wave.

To hot to move.

 

Flair enjoying the fan.

Not sure why but I love to lie against the wall like this.

What to do?

Mom has a problem. Okay it's not really her problem but she's making it her problem.

A friend of hers from elementary school has a cat, they only keep in touch on facebook and Mom has never even met this cat but something is wrong. She has seen videos of it and read upset facebook status's. The cat randomly attacks when you walk in the door and is beating up the new puppy. In the videos the cat is yowling, running frantically, or jumping at the window. Mom has never seen a cat so frustrated, so angry. This has been going on for a long time. The puppy may of made things worse but it was never good to begin with.

Mom has made suggestions on how to calm the cat, play with it, clip it's nails, socialize it to the puppy, but the owners don't seem to be listening. Now they have decided the cat needs to find a new home.

Some other "friends" on facebook have come up with their own suggestions on what to do with the "devil cat". They suggest leaving it when she moves, dropping it on someones doorstep, ect. One girl Mom also knows from elementary school offered to take it to her horse barn. This is a BAD idea. This girl is not nice to her animals and her barn cats die tragic deaths. They get stepped on (by horses), drowned in pools, fall of trailers, hit by cars, and eaten by animals. This is not a good home period, and especially not for a cat that has lived in an apartment, even if it is wild. Mom has suggested good no-kill rescues but no one seems to listen.

Mom thinks this cat is either sick, wild, or being bugged. It's not happy. It's needing a new home and this is the chance to get it a better home. If it's sick it needs medical attention, something it's owners should of already looked into but probably havent. If it's wild then a cared for feral colony may be it's best bet. If it's being abused then it needs out. It needs a safe place with someone who can help it. Mom has contacted a no-kill rescue if they have room she'll take this cat to them, and pay for a vet check. Hopefully they have room, listening to the cat yowl in the video scares Flair and I. We hide under the bed until it stops. No cat should be so upset.

What the!

Dad left really early today, Mom says he is going to the airshow with the firetruck. Not sure what an airshow is but there are really loud things circling the apartment. Flair and I are watching them from the window. When they get really close we get kinda nervous. I remember hearing similar noises the day Mom and Dad brought me home. Think they said there was an airshow then too. Airshows sure are noisy.

Last weekend was the two year anniversary of when I was adopted. See the following post for the bowls Mom made us.

Kitty Bowls

Mom made Flair and I new bowls. Hopefully now the water dish wont gross her out so badly.

Great Billboard

Kitty from Kelowna

A kitty named Kitty got lost in Kelowna, BC last month. Her mom Barb Cook came home from vacation and searched everywhere for her. She put up posters and offered a $5,000 reward. Thankfully Kitty returned home dirty and hungry 12 days after she went missing. Kitty's moms niece spotted Kitty returning home, this young girl could have a possible tuition fund in the future. Yay Kitty glad your home safe!

While we were at home . . .

Last weekend we got to stay home while the parents went to Powell River for a wedding. This was the view from their Hotel room.

 

They got to visit lots of beaches but the one they went to in PR had lots of wildlife. Thankfully besides a kitty toy they also brought me back shells and sand to sniff. I love beach stuff.

Not sure I would of enjoyed meeting a snake in the tidal pools though.

Think I would of had more fun with Mr.Crab than the snake.

We got our new Toy!

Flair I think I smell Catnip!

I don't smell anything.

 

Maybe if I taste it. . .

 

Mmmmm Catnip

 

 I claim this toy as MINE.

Thank you Handmade by Amanda for the  fortune cookie catnip toy.

We survived!

Last weekend Mom and Dad went to Powell River for a wedding. So Flair and I spent four days being kittysat by Dad's Mom and her fiancé Rob. We survived and tought Rob a thing or two about cat craziness. Mom bought us a kitty toy but she forgot it in the car so now we have to wait till tonight to get it. So excited. I love toys, especially catnip ones small enough for me to throw around the apartment.
