Over The Hills And Far Away

What a weekend! The lady says she is actually happy to be back to work, so she can relax! On Wednesday afternoon her friend dropped her cat, Abby, off to stay with us until Saturday afternoon. The lady only said yes because the kitty requires daily meds for her thyroid, and because she knew this kitty would be going back home on Saturday. So Abby stayed in the pink room with the fosters, CC and Snoopy.
In between eating with her family for lunch and his family for dinner, the lady put up the Christmas tree and outdoor decorations. She spent hours fluffing and decorating the 9 ft tree and the porch railing garland and the small trees that go on the porch, etc. That night they decided to let CC and Snoopy sleep in the living room so that Abby could relax and come out from under the bed. What a mistake! The next morning there were ornaments scattered all over the room and the branches to the tree were flattened and some even broken. CC and Snoopy slept in the tree!
On Friday, the lady got up early and went shopping. Crazy, yes, but she said it was actually more relaxing than being at home during this time. She only got a few gifts, but got some great deals on them! Ferris wasn't eating like usual, he would only take few bites of food. This was odd because Ferris will eat anything and any amount. Cal also stopped eating as much and vomited once. Oh no! Saturday morning we found out why Ferris had stopped eating when he vomited up a piece of scotch tape the lady used to hang our stockings. He was very lucky he was able to get it out and it didn't cause an obstruction. He is back to normal now! Cal, on the other hand, is having an IBD flare up and has blood in his stool as of yesterday. So the lady will be calling the vet this morning for a refill on the predisilone.

Sending purrs, purrayers, and quick recovery vibes your way, Misty!!

Big rumbles for Cal poor lad we hope he gets over the flare up soon - and some "phew lucky!" rumbles for Ferris and the tape! A big YAY! for CC and Snoopy sleeping in the tree (we are really impressed by this and if we get a tree this year we are going to be trying it) and some more rumbly purrs for you all for having Abby as your guest. That was very sweet of your human, some of the purrs are for her too as she had all that clearing up to do!

Mmh, doesn't sound as if the weekend was relaxing at all for your lady. We are listening carefully to the explanations done on how to play with christmas decoration - we might try this at home. Cal, pleeeeez don't get ill again. We are purring that you will recover faster than the other time.

I hope Cal gets feeling better soon. Our tree isn't going up for another week because Mom and Dad will be gone and they know that Maggie can't help herself and will be all over the tree.

Snoopy is a little stinker...but he looks really cute in the tree! Sorry to hear about Ferris and Cal. All of us kitties have now been switched over to food that doesn't have grain...we are eating duck and green pea from Natural Balance so we're hoping that means IBD flare ups and skin itchies will go away for Ginger and Jonesie. Prednisone works!

We hope Cal gets better soon. What is it with cats eating things they shouldn't. Silly Ferris. We might try to sleep in the tree but I don't think Nemo will fit in there without making it collapse.

We hope Cal feels better soon. Miss Jade has the same problem. It sounds like you all had an eventful weekend. We hope the fosters didn't get in trouble - afterall, they were just being kittens.
