Movie Monday

Our lady made this movie over the weekend. It stars 3 kitties who live in a managed feral colony. They are the only 3 kitties remaining in a colony at a former recreational fishing hot spot. The fishing spot is now closed to the public, but the lady has special permission to monitor and feed the cats. They were used to getting lots of fish from the fishermen, but now they have to settle for dry food. Doesn't look like they mind much though. What's funny is there are 2 other bowls, but they insist on eating out of the same one! Too cute!

Many of you have heard about the horrible news happening in NJ where Tuck lives. When the lady heard this disturbing news, she decided to write a letter in support of TNR and opposing the feral cat hunting. She hopes the NJ Fish and Game Council gets a freakin' flood of letters! Just look at the kitties in the video above, can you imagine them with a bullseye on their heads? The feral cat hunting plan is despicable and we hope and pray it doesn't come to pass.

Visit Tuck's blog for more info and for contact info to submit your own letter.

Flannigan's Ball - St. Patrick's Day Contest Entry

This is what we came up with for the St. Patrick's Day contest hosted by Brian and Lynx217. We're not sure if this falls under the catergory of "green apparel" or "use of green." Since Maggie May has had a rough week, we let her model and show her St. Patrick's Day spirit!

This contest is lots of fun and we hope more of our friends enter! You can learn more about the contest by clicking on the links above.

Relax

We all have our pheromone collars and flower essences and Maizy is on her anti-psychotics.....we mean, anti-anxiety meds. We are all tolerating the collars pretty well. It seems to be more of a problem for Maggie May than anyone, but we're sure she'll get used to it soon. And if not, off it will go. The vet said we could give Maggie the anti-anxiety meds too, if needed.

We have some BIG news....... Maizy and Maggie May touched noses.....and didn't hiss......didn't growl.....and no biteys!! Maggie did raise her paw at Maizy slightly, but then walked off. We think that is some major progress! But still, only supervised interactions and only for a few minutes at a time. We don't want to over do it or anything.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! We'll be playing with the fun toy that came with our flower essences. It's real fun to kick!

For some reason blogger would not let us upload any photos :(

Acatemy Awards

Here is our entry for the Acatemy Awards. It's an oldie, but a goodie and always makes us laugh. Enjoy!

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!

Be sure to check out the Creek Cats on Wendy's LOL Spot! It's pawsome!!

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.
