Princess Zoey

Zoey is doing well even though she doesn't seem to like cat food at all.  I've  had to give her chicken or beef for the last few days.  She seems to think that human food is what she eats. When I go into the kitchen and open the fridge there she is with her nose stuck in.  I sit down in the morning to have my coffee or tea and toast,  and she expects to have toast with me.

I discovered that she is NOT into being brushed or combed.  She growls like she's going to attack me. Since she has long hair she mats easily.  We'll work into a full body brushing as time goes on.  She loses so much hair every day I can't keep up with it.  I can tell everywhere she has spent even five minutes of time.

Homer was very upset with Zoey when she took over his new tech toy.  We have that rotating mouse tail toy and he loves it.  I turned it off and left it on the floor last night. When I got up in the morning, SOMEONE had peed on the toy.  Now......in her papers from the Humane Society it said she peed on clothing.  I'm guessing it was dirty clothes that someone had thrown on the floor.  I now have a pretty good idea who peed on the toy, since there is a round nylon cover over the mouse tail.  She has shown no signs of leaving pee on rugs or furniture, but that toy sure got soaked!

Lamont and Tanner are doing well.  Lamont is eating hard food again and Tanner's skin is looking pretty good.  We did have a problem when we took him to the doctor last time for the Comfortis dose.  Dr. gave him his pill but when I took the towel out of the carrier a few days later I found half the Comfortis stuck to it.  We took him back and it was stuffed down his throat again.  The doctor trusted my little darling Tanner and shouldn't have.  He's very sneaky.

The fourth of July is coming and we are having our traditional smoked Turkey.  Seven people will be here so I will be busy making all the stuff that goes with the turkey for the next few days.  

Have a super  Fourth of July!

Meet Zoey



Here's a new little girl we brought home today. She's two months from being eight years old. She has hyperthyroidism, and has to see Dr. Stanhope (at St Francis 24 hour animal hospital) within two days because that's all the meds they gave me.  I'm hoping she fits in with our fur family because there has been an imbalance in this house ever since Fina went over the rainbow bridge.  We needed a female kitty.

When she got here she hopped out of the carrier and walked through the house like she owned it.  Cherry ran up to her and she stood her ground.  She bumped noses with everyone else and that was the most excitement we had.

I have to go check on her so I'll write more later.
