It's Getting Better

We are happy to report the stress and tension has greatly improved here on the creek. Maggie and Maizy are both on Amitriptyline. It has really helped! Hardly any hissing from Maggie and no chasing and biteys from Maizy for a few days now. Maggie May goes for a recheck at the vet tomorrow. Her leg looks great and the abscess has completely healed. Now just waiting for her fur to grow back.The calming collars are still on the others and Chevelle gets her ears rubbed with flower essences. They seem to really be working, just look at this picture! Chevelle and Ferris have never ever laid within 5 feet of one another and they shared Dixie Dog's bed the other night!

The lady donated some of her retro owl note cards to a blog that hosts giveaways. Anyone can enter to win. Go HERE!

Rambler would like to thank everyone for his Gotcha Day wishes!! Happy week, everyone!

Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Since it's going to take about a week for the flower essences to arrive, I decided to try out another product in the meantime. After quite a bit of online research, I found a product that's available at our local PetSmart. Our PetSmart also carries feliway, but the problem with diffusers is the openness of our great room. The ceiling is nearly 30 feet high, so we'd need a lot of those suckers to make any sort of a difference. I do believe in the use of pheromones to help relieve stress, so that's why I gave these pheromone collars a shot. We planned on buying one for each of the three girls, but the store only had two. The two lucky girls are Maizy and Chevelle. And I was totally shocked that they didn't freak out, considering they've never worn collars before. The price was not too bad, $15.00 each, they are supposed to last 30 days and they have a pleasant lavender scent.

As far as efficacy, I'd say they have helped with some of the aggression in both Maizy and Chevelle. Maggie May still hisses and growls anytime she sees them, but they don't seem to want to attack her. When PetSmart gets a new shipment in, we plan on getting one for Maggie May to see if it calms her down. We'll keep everyone posted! It's nice to hear from others who are having the same issues in their home, makes us know we aren't alone in this.

Here is a great deal on the calming collars! Thanks for the tip, Barb!! We just bought 4 more for the price we paid for 2 at PetSmart!

Everybody's Workin' For The Weekend

Just a few things to report:Sebastian and Reilly are doing wonderfully in their new home. Reilly has completely come out of his shell and is quite the mama's boy. Sebastian is more of a man's man and cries when his new daddy leaves the room. They both seem to really love the dog, Roadside, and even share the couch with him. Love it!
The tension really hasn't gotten any better here on the creek. We thought when the boys were adopted, things would get better. However, the boys never were the problem. It the 3 girls, Maggie, Maizy and Chevelle. Tonight Maizy attacked Maggie. Thanks to a friend's advice, I ordered some new flower essences. I want to try natural before getting meds from the vet. We pray this will work and harmony will be restored again.

Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

P.S. Maggie May and Saylor were having a sweet little tussle in the Wordless Wednesday pic this week.

Take Back

We hope ya'll had a great weekend. We took back our pink room aka the foster room after Sebastian and Reilly were adopted. Although, we heard the lady say something about taking it from us and making it into the guest room/art supply room again. We'll see about that one!
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

It's Just A Matter Of Time

Our lady servant had the opportunity to have the momma cat spayed and vaccinated at a low-cost clinic over the weekend. She trapped during work on Friday afternoon and most of the day on Saturday. No luck!

She is gonna try again today and everyday until she catches her and her kitten(s). We'll keep ya'll posted on the progress!

In the meantime, here's a picture of Chevelle for your viewing pleasure!

ME-OW!

Oh yeah, come check out our cute new neighbor!

Walk On The Wild Side

Toesie Tuesday with Chevelle

What's different about my toes?? Do you see it??

Here's a close up......do you see it now? I have an extra claw on my back paws. So, Instead of having 4 claws on the back, I have 5!

I am the only one in the house with an extra claw on the insides of my back feet!

***Snoopy Update***

A note from Snoopy's new parents:
Snoopy is adjusting very well we are all very happy with her. I will try to send some pictures and another update soon. I'm not sure if she was named Snoopy because of how curious she is but the name does fit her we will keep it.

She loves to play, is very active and also affectionate. I'm glad to hear CC found a good home also.

We are enjoying her very much. She is the perfect addition we were looking for. Thank you very much!

Only Superstition - Midnight Monday

If you were superstitious......we'd be bad luck, huh?

Wikipedia says: In Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens: in other cultures they are considered to be good omens.

We consider ourselves to be the latter!

Gimme Some Water

We agree with Ginger......water bowls are for amateurs!

You Wear It Well - Fashion Friday

Who Wore It Best?

Maizy Grace, Snoopy, and Chevelle, all stepped out wearing the same Zanies Princess Cat Costume ($7.79 jodyspets.com.) All three looked absolutely stunning.......but who wore it best?

Baby Got Back

"So.not.happy"

They've put me on a diet! They no longer call me Chevelle, they call me Heavy Chevy. Yes, I admit, I'm still carrying a little holiday weight from Christmas of '07......but I can still run down the stairs faster than any other cat and I still have the fastest reaction time.

"I'm not fat, this picture is just taken at a bad angle, that's all!"

Paint It Black

The weekend was fun......I got to help the lady servant paint a portrait of a kitty! Unfortunately, this kitty recently crossed over the rainbow bridge :(

I was in charge of paint. See the paint on my very adorable nose?

I was also an eye model, because I have the most mesmerizing eyes!
Aren't you mesmerized?

We had lots of fun! Everything was going great until I stepped on the paint pallet and tracked footprints across the counter. I was amused, she was not so much.
