A Great Day for Arnold



Today Arnold went to the vet, to get his stitches removed. On the the way to the vet Arnold decided to take care of some business in the back corner. It was sooo heinous!!! Once we got there and Arnold was in the office it was time to remove his stitches. They put him on the silver table thing, and held him by his scruff. He was soo not happy when they were removing his stitches. He squeaked a little, and growled. After they had removed his stitches they put yellow powder on his ear, and squeezed it with gauze to stop the bleeding. Arnold growled. Apparently that part wasn't supposed to hurt.

We took them home, and feed them some Chicken Feast. They were happy. Then they took a long nap. We went to Costco and bought stuff, and and came home to find the kitties napping. Arnold was on the bed in the Fliving room and Audrey was on the Puce Banana in the sun. We fed Audrey some dinner while Arnold napped. When Arnold decided to get up we fed him, and gave Audrey some of his food. They both enjoyed some dinner.

When we investigated Arnold's ear later we discovered a stitch that the vet hadn't taken out. Guess we'll have to call tomorrow and see what we need to do.

Kitty Nicknames

Here are all the nicknames that we've called the kitties:

The Kitties
Arnold Kittikins / Audrey Kittikins
Buddy / Girly, Girlfriend
Dude / Dude
Senor Kittikins / Senorita Kittikins
Arnold Bdot / Audrey Bdot
Kittikens
Poohlet Kitty
Little Poohlet Kitty
Bugaboo
Squeaky
Squirmy


And kb says "moo" to them a lot.

Bored kitties and bored poohlets

Apparently everyone is a bit bored today. The poohlets are bored - they won't stay out of my bubble!

And the kitties are bored - every time someone goes into the kitchen they RUN in thinking they're going to be fed.

Mom took a nap while poohlets did Study Island. cb wouldn't let kb help her with Transformations - probably because kb is really good at them and cb didn't want to be shown up by her younger sister.

KB Sneezed On CB

It was a typical kitty day, when we were watching tv. CB said that she had to sneeze but she never did. Then all of a sudden, KB SNEEZED. Just becuase KB always sneezes to her right, she sneezed on CB. We all cracked up! GO KB!

We let the kitties in all the rooms today, then explored. Arnold growled at Mom's fuzzy bag.

Yesterday, Arnold growled at my cheesepuff (pillow) and at Mom's glove.

Kitty Alarm

As usual, Audrey woke me up at 5:59am. Hungry kitties! I fed them then went back to sleep.

When I decided to get up for good and shower, etc., it was nearly 10am.

So, I took Audrey kitty and went into kb's room and placed Audrey gently on top of her. Wake up kb! Arnold joined us upstairs.

We took the kitties and woke Charlotte up the same way. Good morning cb!

I went to Giant and found some nicely inexpensive cat food. So I got some. I gave it to them for dinner. Arnold was hungry enough so he ate about half of it but Audrey didn't really want anything to do with it, though.

So I guess we'll stick with Fancy Feast. (these people have the craziest website I've ever seen! What is UP with this?)

Another Lazy Kitty Day



Today Audrey got us all up at exactly 6 o'clock because she was hungry. After breakfast we all napped. Me and KB watched TV, while the kitties napped. The kitties ran around for awhile, and then KB wee-ed. Audrey was standing at the top of the stairs waiting for her. She did the same thing when I wee-ed too.

We fed them half a can of food at 10, and then another half at 1. They gobbled it all up! They got fed green food, Chicken Feast.

Now the kitties are taking a big long nap. Arnold was on the bed, and then slid off. Audrey is napping on The Puce Banana.

Sleepy Kitties

Last night there were some difficulties getting kitties to sleep, but once they were, they were very cuddly.

Audrey curled up with me twice last night, Arnold, once. In the morning, she cuddled again, left, then came back to cuddle once more. I needed to wee (and so did CB), and luckly enough, Audrey realized and left. After I wee-ed, there was Audrey waiting at the top of the stairs. The fridge made a noise and woke up Arnold, so CB got to wee at last. Arnold did some very funny poses in his sleep and I managed to get a few pictures. Audrey hogged the 3-people couch. She would curl up with me, and then later I would feel these paws on my posterior pushing against me. Audrey also enjoyed to push her head into my leg while she slept.

Later that day, the kitties were being amused and amusing on the Puce Banana. Audrey would climb on the ledge and stare at who knows what, and Arnold just played with CB's hand.

Oh those squeeky kitties! They were squeeking up a storm so CB called Mom to ask to feed them. They each got a half of Chicken Feast. Arnold ate all of his, Audrey, not quite all. We (as in CB) rinsed out their bowls while I typed this. Now she is eating.

Currently, Arnold is walking very slowly from the table to the 3-people couch where CB is eating mac. He was being very cautious.

That is all for now.

They even eat differently

Arnold goes right to his dish and chows down - taking big bites of food. Audrey daintily licks hers and eats it in a very dainty manner.

Funny thing, though... each one finishes at about the same time.

Audrey just did her "Halloween Kitty" stretch - it's so cute. She keeps telling me she wants something but I can't figure out what she wants. So we both just look at each other and meow. It's more like "mer?"... but we still can't figure each other out.

Earlier today I heard a funny noise. I couldn't be sure what it was - I'd never heard anything like that before. I went tip-toeing through the fliving room, then through the dining room then through the kitchen, caustiously peering around the rooms looking for kitties.

Imagine my surprise when I saw them both in the sink in the bathroom. They'd both jumped onto the top of the litter box (the noise I'd heard) then jumped onto the counter and into the sink.

They both looked at me with those big eyes - "We haven't done anything wrong! Pay no attention to us! Everything's fine, I think!"

Arnold's ear seems to be healing with no problems. He hasn't scratched at it for several days. He used to sort of paw at it, realize that hurt then shake his head back and forth a few times. He must know I'm writing about him - he just jumped up onto the table and burped at me. Like a poohlet. But with worse breath.

Lazy Sunday

Arnold was sick last night. Poor little kitty. I wonder what's up with his little kitty tummy?

Arnold was downstairs this morning and Audrey was about three steps up and she POUNCED onto his tail! I just saw this black flash out of the corner of my eye - it's Audrey flying through the air.

Today I went to the place where we got the kitties and gave them my extra kitten food. They only had two kitties there today. Skippy looks like a little Arnold and Murphy looks like a creamsicle.

This morning Arnold was in the kitty litter box and Audreay waited patiently outside the bathroom door until he was done. It was very sweet.

They're running around like wild kitties but 20 minutes ago they were snuggled together sleeping in the polka-spotted kitty bed.

Sunday Update

Arnold was sick last night. Poor Arnold! I don't know what's up with this little poohlet kitty.

He seems to be ok now, though. He's been eating just fine today.

I took my watch off to type on the computer and now Arnold's trying to eat it!

They've been very cute lately in the morning: If Arnold's in the litter box then Audrey waits outside the bathroom until he's done. It's very sweet.

Audrey pounced on Arnold this morning. He was by the fliving room investigating something on the floor. Audrey was about 3 steps up on the stairs. Next thing I know, out of the corner of my eye I see Audrey flying through the air! Not a jump so much as a pounce! Right onto Arnold's tail.

Today I took the extra kitten food to the pet store where we got the kitties. They only had two kittens there today: Skippy (who looks just like a little Arnold) and Murphy (who looks like a creamsicle).
