Hansel's belated birthday bash!

Well hello. Today, is my day.
I turned 2 on the 26th of this month (or so we think because i was a rescue!)

Please join me at the dinner table, where you can have cake, tuna, ham, and chick-hun.
Also, nip tinis are available.
Ben will make your plates up for you.

Then, we have the lounge.
Look, our friends Quinn and Siku are already here!
what a day!

And here is your goodie basket for the day.
Please make sure to keep it away from tesla and put it in a safe place.
we all know what she does to baskets of toys.

We let tesla out last night for about 20 minutes. Wouldn't you know the first place she went was over to the box. She sniffed the toy box and put one front paw in. It smells NOTHING like urine, after being cleaned successfully. She stepped back out and walked around, as if maybe she should not do that right away. She didn't look like she was being guilty but it DOES bother me that she went right to it.

I purchased the container today that will serve as a giant litter box as the behaviorist vet suggested- so that it has no doors for hansel to whap in her face. I fear i will have to get rid of the toy box and get another- and i also fear, that she won't stop doing this. It looked way too much like thats exactly where she wanted to go. First thing she visits when she's out of her room? Is her new favorite bathroom. I don't know what to think about it. Maybe i'm just nervous and not trusting her enough but honestly- thats how i caught her doing it, because, she NEVER goes to the toy box. She hardly plays with any unless hansel gets them out of there. I guess this weekend i should get a new toy box. :(

poor tesla.


Anyway, please join us tomorrow for our birthday celebration.

A day late belated purfdeh to HANSEL.

Hello friend we are still here. Everyone is well- Tesla is still confined but we think we are going to start letting her out little by little to see how she does. She takes her pills well. Must be a sensation because lately EVERYONE seems to be having the same problem. Some cats become outdoor cats because owners don't want to deal, some cats go on meds, some cats get given away, and some cats come in, and meet their end. But may seems to have started something crazy in the minds of cats near us. So mom is afraid to let Tes out yet in case it hasn't gotten out of her system- she wants to give her a little more time, so that she can snap out of it. Mom doesn't feel like washing the toys again because everything smells like nip. Hansel, however, doesn't mind.

Hansel got FABULOUS toys from our good friend Siku the White Dog and Quinn the Other White Dog and their family for his birthday. This was very exciting for us! :)

Mom says, please, forgive her for not having the party ready for today. Can we make it this saturday? Afterall, Saturday, is Caturday. So, mom will do everything she can to make a HUGE bash on saturday! Ok?

So mom will have to get her act together and do some posting and catching up. We don't know what's up with that lady lately. Her mind is out of here. Probably somewhere with Tesla's mind--- because mom says tesla lost her mind when she peed in the toy box.. I'm not sure what that means but it can't be good.

-ben.

Thoughts on a thursday.

Last tuesday it rained VERY VERY hard here.

While dad was at work, he was in the parking lot on his way home and happened upon a small field mouse- a baby, on his back, being drowned in the rain. He felt so bad for the mousie, and scooped him up in a small cup.

On his way home he bought a critter habitat for him, set him up with shredded paper for bedding, the bottom of a pringle container for a water dish, a toilet paper roll for hiding, and for food- some apple, cheese, and bread.

He wasn't breathing right but mom and dad had strong hopes that the little mouse would do well and they would rescue him and he'd live a long full life.

Mom called a wildlife rescue number and left a message because they promised they'd call back in 12 hours.
(we STILL never got a call back)

Mom said if he was alive on wednesday she would go and buy real mouse food.
He munched on some apple, and some cheese, and on wednesday, mom was at petsmart buying mousie food.

Thursday morning they found that the poor little thing had let out his last breath and he was no more. We were very sad about this, and we wanted you all to see our friend.

Mom only took the one photo- to not bother him too much.

Rest in peace dear friend.

Mancat Monday: My Butterfly Toy

I neffur did show you all my butterfly toy.
Mom bought me this last year sometime.
Because i had a fascination with the fish tank.

She thought it would distract me.

However, it didn't.
i still stressed all the fish to death (literally).
Apparently fish don't like it when you jump right up in front of their tank
and smash your feets into it.

Anyway when you turn the butterflies on,
they fly in serious circles around the container.
AND they glow in the dark if left in the light.
COOL!

I like to whap at them.
Here they are flying.

But it's hard to get a good idea from still shots.

i like to SHOVE it.

Stupid butterflies.
If you ever come out here, i'll kill you.

If i can ever get in there,
i'll kill you.

To see the toy in action:
(thanks mommy's cell phone. EVEN though she has a camcorder in the other room that she's too lazy to go get...)
