<\/a><\/p>\nAwhile ago, Mommy was sick as a pig.\u00a0 A lot of people where she works were sick at that time.\u00a0 Mommy said that the worst part of pig flu was that it made her really really tired.\u00a0 On the plus side, I was able to score lots of extra naps with Mommy!<\/p>\n
Regular readers of our blog know that Mommy and Daddy volunteer with an animal rescue group called PAWS.\u00a0 On November 15, The Apostles went to a PAWS adoption event held at PetSmart.\u00a0 They did not get adopted that day though.<\/p>\n
There were lots of cute kitties, including these sweeties, Faith (grey), Hope, Love, and Charity.\u00a0 Hope, Love, and Charity are all sisters, and Faith is a female from another litter.\u00a0 Faith and Charity got adopted that day.<\/p>\n As you may know, PetSmart does not mind if you want to go to pick out your food and treats yourself.\u00a0 Usually, we trust Mommy and Daddy to do that for us.\u00a0 That day, a pet skunk decided to come to PetSmart to check out the food selections.<\/p>\n In other news, we got to have Real Live Fresh Dead TURKEY on Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n Padre is very fond of Real Live Fresh Dead Turkey.<\/p>\n Cookie and I are also very fond of Real Live Fresh Dead Turkey.\u00a0 I like it even more than Cookie does.<\/p>\n Meerkat doesn’t really like it.\u00a0 You can tell by the expression on her face.<\/p>\n Neither does Panda Bear.<\/p>\n Mom thinks that maybe the eye infections that Meerkat and Panda Bear had as kittens affected their sense of smell or taste, since the rest of us nom nom nommed.\u00a0 As for The Apostles, Matthew, Mark, and Luke liked the RLFDT, but Joann did not.\u00a0 The Apostles were at boarding school (PetSmart), but came home for Thanksgiving break.<\/p>\n The day after Thanksgiving was a very busy day.\u00a0 The Apostles went back to boarding school.\u00a0 Here they are in their dorm room.<\/p>\n Then Padre, Cookie, and I were taken to the V-E-T!\u00a0 Cookie WILLINGLY climbed into the PTU that was intended for Padre.\u00a0 And then she refused to come out.\u00a0 So Mom shoved Padre into the PTU intended for Cookie and me.<\/p>\n That left no PTU for me, as Mom did not want to put me into Padre’s PTU, and the PTU Cookie was in was too small for Cookie and me.\u00a0 I was thinking that I might have played my cards extremely well, but no such luck.\u00a0 Mom grabbed me and held me in her lap on the ride to the V-E-T.<\/p>\n When we got there, Mom walked up to the desk to check in, and the girl behind the desk was very complimentary to me!\u00a0 She said that I was Beautiful!\u00a0 She asked Mom if she could hold me, and Mom let her.\u00a0 The girl was very nice to me.\u00a0 She said that she needed to show me to the Office Manager, or she would get into trouble for not showing her a really cute cat.\u00a0 So the girl took me back to a very nice lady who held me and cuddled me.\u00a0 She said that my furs are very soft!\u00a0 And that the way I let her hold me made her think that I might be part rag doll kitty.\u00a0 At last, proper treatment for a floofilicious cat like myself!\u00a0 I was beginning to think the whole V-E-T business was not so bad.<\/p>\n However, Padre was absolutely miserable.\u00a0 He tried to hide in the back of the PTU.<\/p>\n Cookie explored the exam room, giving it a thorough sniffing, and reported back to Padre and me.<\/p>\n Padre, Cookie, and I each got weighed.\u00a0 Padre currently weighs 13.0 pounds, Cookie weighs 10.2 pounds, and I weigh 9.2 pounds.<\/p>\n But then!\u00a0 Oh, the horrors!\u00a0 Mom asked them to trim my pretty furs!\u00a0 (Something about litter box issues on a long-haired kitty.)\u00a0 So they took me to the back and gave me a buzz cut on my derriere.\u00a0 Oh, the shame.\u00a0 I am so embarrassed, I can’t believe I am even admitting this to all of you.<\/p>\n Later that same day (Friday, November 27), Luke and Matthew got adopted into two separate families!\u00a0 And someone else applied to adopt Joann and (possibly) Mark.\u00a0 I guess because it was “Black Friday” it was a good day to adopt black kittens!<\/p>\n As it eventually turned out, Mark was not adopted by the family that adopted Joann.\u00a0 Joann went to her furrever home on Sunday November 29.\u00a0 Luke’s new family calls him “Shadow”.\u00a0 Matthew’s new family calls him “Neo”.\u00a0 And Joann’s new name is “Inky”.\u00a0 But Mark is still Mark.\u00a0 Or Marko.\u00a0 Or Marko Polo.\u00a0 And he still lives with us.\u00a0 But now he is allowed to mingle with the rest of us instead of having to stay in the foster room.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
