Twilight Tabby Time

Told Tommy it was OK to post late on this Thursday... 
Why? Cuz it's gettin' cooler in Texas-
When Tommy gets  home from her daily abandonment of us-
Windows get opened and birds chirp louder 
While squirrels fuss and scamper better-
Mommy and Daddy Peyton can tell ya bout that!

Life is good...

Wordless Wednesday

Mommy

Come Dance With ME?

Who watches Dancing With the Stars with their humans?
I am so sercure in my man cat-ness to admit I do!
As I type with one claw,  DWTS Results Show starts
In an hour or so. Judges were hissy to poor Michael Bolton-
Last night, even tho his trip the light fantastic was
More like a thud, part of me wishes Michael's fans save him--
Yet, in my Terrific Texas Tabbby's opinion:Michael's gotta go... 
...and maybe Brooke Burke can drive him...

Until DWTS comes on, I will strike my
"I do opinions worth more than a 40lb bag of Tidy Cat" pose....
Afterall, I'm a cat. And that's how I roll.

Monday Groan Mancat...ME

First of all it's kinda late on a Monday to post
And I wanted to post about ME
Then Tommy says "You need to show Perry."
Why?
Because, Tommy says, all of our friends new and old wished him well.
I thought they were MY friends...hmm.
Tommy says I can talk tomorrow-that's what she said bout today! 
Anyway I've been talking to Perry about him being in Cell Block Feline.
In the meantime, this is Cranky Ol Puss about an hour ago
He was being all attentive to Tommy. Ears all up...
Whatever.  

Tommy better be happy....I'm not!

Sunday Advice Taken Told by Tommy

Hello everyone! It's about 10:30PM Dallas time Sunday night as I write this. Just wanted to give you an update from my cat filled and cluttered house, especially about Perry.

My "One" (his nickname since he was a baby) seems to be doing OK. I give him the antibiotics without too much trouble with the syringe. He has started to run from me tho. I've been reading up on UTI's and says a kitty hold it all in because the potty box isn't to his liking. So I've been clearning that, plus reading food cans and bags.

I figure things must be a bit better, Noir popped Perry on the head and Perry hissed. I've been giving extra special love to Perry. Makes me smile when Perry brushes his nose against my cheek. He's been doing that since the first day he decided to stay with me. I knew then, like I know now, I'm the lucky one.

So on this Sunday I took my own kitty's advice and stayed away from the PC until now. As I type this Perry is right by the monitor with his eyes shut. I've given him his nightly medicine and tried to get away! Yet, here he is. I"ll say good night for now and Thank YOU again everyone for your well wishes.

Tommy

xxx ooo

PS. For ManCat Monday Noir tells me he wants to be back. He's afraid everybody  will forget him--ahh Noir--I guess I need to do some extra lovin' on him too. The cat likes it like that.

Perry Update by Tommy

Good Saturday everyone!   My kittyboss (that's Noir to you) allowed me to take some of his precious blog space so I could give an update on Perry.  As Noir wrote, I was concerned about Perry looking thinner.  He wasn't always the robust big cat, yet no cat (or small dog) could come close to MaxMaxx--yet, I was concerned, even tho Perry wasn't lethargic and still ate.  I called the Vet Thursday and said to bring him on in.

The vet poked here and there, mentioned thyroid and kidneys and we just needed to find out. This was already 6pm, and the vet suggested I could bring Perry back or leave him. It killed me, but since Perry was already there, I loved on him and said an out loud prayer and left him. I'd left a towel, so he could have 'me' with him.

Long story short, yesterday another vet, a nice young lady said it was great news all Perry's tests came back negative, except the UTI. She wanted to try anti-biotics and check up on him. Also, the vet gave him some fluids (Oh boy--I know Perry so LOVED that)--and some his body was still filled when I picked him up. Plus some anti vomit medicine, because he just finally had it. I laughed and said, the stress got to him.  And she said Perry got a bath, because he just defecated in the cage and on himself. My cat did not want to be there--and this was stuff he never did at home. The vet said Perry didn't appear to be in pain and kept asking if Perry goes outside.  I explained he and two other like to go right outside the door and eat the grass. They don't go any farther  No roam the neighbor, just our patio. And then I bring them in.

Last night, Perry and I read all your good wishes. I'm humbled by the outpouring. Perry just purred. We hung out on the couch and he curled close. He even slept with me last night and Noir wasn't really feeling any of that. Noir was on my right, Perry curled up on my left, resting against the pillow.

He purred. I prayed. All was right with the world. Good night had by all.

So this morning, Perry's brushed past Peyton, who is his one true fan, jumped over Edie (Mommy) as he hopped from the bed, snarled at MaxMaxx, stared at Earl Gray--who promptly ran from the room. And Noir?  He's under the bed (don't tell him I told you that!).

I will watch my Perry One-make sure he continues to eat,  takes his medicine and pets my head while I try to sleep--with his claws.

Yes, all is right with the world.

Perry and me, last night. I believe healing is in the the touch.

Thanks again for all your well wishes.  We have the bestest good friends-kitties, puppies and along with their humans-literally all over this world.

We are so blessed. 

And to quote Noir: I like it like that!

Tommy

Please Purr for Perry

As I type this with one nail, Perry is in the hospital. Tommy says Perry just was gettin' too thin. Heck, I didn't think anything was wrong with him--he hissed at me, strutted toward Uncle MaxMaxx which made Uncle flop to the floor and then they air jabbed and then Perry hollered after Tommy to pet him, with tail straight up in the air.

But Tommy says Perry was just too thin. She had a before kitty who had kidney problems and she gave him fluids thru a needle and another had cancer--and they sorta acted sickly at times, but not really Perry. He still jumped in the window and hung with Tommy while she did school work last night. Tommy said he all there, yet she was worried.

So the doctor said to bring him in. Tommy was surprised Perry weighed 8 pounds--she thought he was thinner than that. The doctor said he wants to run tests, and mentioned kidneys and thyroid and Perry's heart sounds good. The doctor asked Tommy if she wanted to leave him there or bring him in the morning. Tommy says she almost lost it then, but loved on Perry, while he meowed--and said he could spend one away from the rest of us--maybe feel better tomorrow.  Tommy had put a towel in the carrier and asked the human who took Perry to his suite to put the towel in the suite--so Perry could have her scent.

Tommy says Perry looked a little scared, but before the human took him to the suite, and before he came to get Perry, Tommy said a out loud prayer as she Perry in her arms.  Tommy's says healing comes from touch. And she heard Perry's loud purr and I know she smiled. The doctor will call her Friday morning after all the tests. The fact Perry didn't quit eating, still used his box, and not lethargic makes her feel good.

I know I call Perry a cranky ol 'sour puss and well he can be----but I gotta say, I miss Perry not being in the house right now. It's not as cluttered and cat filled as it should be. And we can't fight over Tommy when she's snoozing in bed...So please purr for Perry.

Thank you!
Noir, Brother Earl Gray, Mommy, Uncle MaxMaxx, Peyton and Tommy

*********UPDATE*********
Perry is HOME. He's not so cranky right now--just kinda tired.  Tommy's got some medicine to give him and Perry goes back for a urine check up in two weeks. The doctor says Perry's urine was kinda concentrated--I don't know what means--but the medicine is gonna help. Here's a picture of Perry who was by Tommy as they read all the good wishes from all of you on my blog--and Perry got a kick he was on the Cat Blogosphere!! 

 On Saturday, I'm may share MY blog so Tommy or maybe even Perry will post--depending on how he feels. Once again Thanks for the purrs and prayers. To God be All the glory.

Wanna Pillow?

OK. Tommy and this infamous lace pillow thing. 
She thinks it's SO cute to catch us on it.
Whatever.
Seriously HOW many photos do humans NEED to take?
Perhaps they need a hobby of some kind...
Oh, yea, I forgot--that is hobby IS us!.

Well, Tommy gets a 2-fer in this Pillow Photo Perch:

Mommy and ME!

...and Tommy better be thankful on this Thursday for it!

Wordless Wednesday

Daddy Peyton leans against Tommy
I think they both like it like that.

Man Cat Monday...ME!

Meow Everybody!  How was your weekend? 
Did you kitties have to do extra purring for your humans like I did?
Yea, Tommy did a day trip to some place called Oklahoma City-she kept
Sayin: Oklahoma....OK!  Huh? She drove 400 miles RT for a
Wedding. Hmm. Guess she had to go that far for one since
One ain't happening anytime soon in our chateau...
Anymew, after all that, Tommy toiled on to two final papers for school--
Then--well, her Iowa Hawkeyes and Dallas Cowboys both lost...
Tommy was too tired even for ice cream so....
Then it was up to ME for rescue! Purr Kitty Galore--ME!
So for Tommy and other humans:

"Monday, look into my eyes and turn into FRIDAY....FAST!"

Friday Face Off...Different?

Uncle MaxMaxx

Says "Hello" to Friday...

Tuxie vs Tabby

Seemed to be a ball of confusion who's shift it was

To keep Tommy company as she toiled on her school work..

Perry the Tabby and Mommy the Tuxie kinda faced off.

Me wonders was it really over the shift schedule

or  more of

Tommy's Starbucks Mocha Frappucino (with 'whip') remnants

You decide.

Wordless Wednesday

Mommy and her Boys

speak in silence.....

Feetie Feelin'....

Tootsies on Tuesday! 
Three of us have our feeties feelin'....

Do you know which three?
Give your best guess
And I'll tell you later!!

Man Cat Monday Miffed

Here in our chateau, Tommy is still so HISSED off at the
Cowboys-Redskins game last night. She says there isn't enough
Starbucks Cafe Vanilla Frappucino to help ease this hurt--
--but she'll try anyway--
Anymey, Daddy Peyton shows how he really doesn't much
Care about a football game outcome...

He's the perfect "O" to go with Tommy's "X"

Sunday Ease

It's a Sunday and as Tommy readies to go get her Praise on

There's an extra kick in ther step...

Tonight we see these guys play and it FINALLY counts! 

Tommy says Bell Snickerdoodle Ice Cream

For us to lick off the spoon. Not much. Just a bit.

What's a snickerdoodle?

Anyway, until tonight happens

Uncle MaxMaxx snuggles to Mommy 

 As she watches Sunday out the window 

Just takin' it easy

Just as it oughta be!

Saturday Bittersweet

Tommy says on 9/11/2001 confusion, sadness and tears covered this country.

 Perry says he was too itty bitty then and doesn't really remember-

And he wasn't  with Tommy yet to purr and make her feel better

My family wasn't born til 2006, and then ME in 2007.

Tommy says  Heaven got thousands of angels on 9/11/2001

Especially from this place:

*

Tommy says she remembers. Because of her, I feel I remember too. Psalms 121

*
*
*
On the sweet side of 9/11/2010, Tommy keeps saying "Tis the Season--FINALLY!"

So we get to watch these little Iowa Hawkeye birdies

play their intra-state rivals the Iowa State Cyclones today

And hear Tommy yell "GO Hawks" a million times.

Ahh, Tis the Season--INDEED!

*

Then there's my Brother Earl Gray, who takes his turn on the infamous lace pillow: 

And demonstrates his version of Saturday...

Friday Face Off

Perry face close with a beverage.....

No worries.

Perry got no chocolate.

Tommy scarfed it down too QUICK

(you know how humans are with their chocolate)

Except Tommy did give Perry some of the 'whip' left on the straw....

I never get any....

Thursday Thankful

Tornados wrecked havoc in Dallas on Wednesday
One was about 10-15 miles from us. It picked up a big truck
And threw it in a building. Nobody got bad hurt.
At our house, a big ol ugly cloud hung over head-
Thought more rain comin', but just a little wind
Tornado musta touched down then.
Then just as soon as you could meow "Feed Me"
It was gone. Sun shone. Tommy opened a window
And went outside to catch Mommy and Me-
Pretty Picture Frame Posin'....

Everybody safe now in Dallas.  Calm after the storm.

Wordless Wednesday

Uncle MaxMaxx and ME

Tuxie Taste Test

Usually I'm all over what Tommy chows down-
Gotta say  I ain't feelin' this---
Not the same said for my sweet Mommy-...

A Pretty Tuxie and her oatmeal are not soon parted....

Man Cat Labor Day Monday

Tommy is home. 

Says it's Labor Day, a holiday for humans to put

Aside their labor for a day when they would really be laboring-

Hmm.

Consider I'm not sure what Tommy labors at-ME thinks

This ain't much of a daily stretch for her...

Anymew, I've seen how Tommy is gonna labor the day away-

So for once I am gonna follow her lead...

Humans like it when they think we REALLY pay attention....

Say It's So Like

My Uncle MaxMaxx

And Sunday-

Together. Just easy.

No more need be said...

Lace It Up

That lace pillow is pretty popular! 
Tommy snapped Mommy, Uncle MaxMaxx  and now
Daddy Peyton on it...

Hmm. Me thinks my Daddy found a good spot

For Saturday...

Wonder if he'll scoot over?

Friday Face Off

Mommy

I like the silhouette of  Mommy's pretty self-

Can you see what she's looking at?

Tommy really needs to get up off her curds and way

And get a better camera if she wants so much

Better pictures of US-anymew......

Do you see what Mommy sees?
