Hiya Furriends!
How are you all doing?
As promised, here are the exiting news (well at least for me!) for today: I now have my own domain, which means my own, self-hosted place on the Internet.
Please join me by clicking on the link:
There is a brand you blog post with pics of us over there!
Posted in Furry friends, News, tagged cat tree, cats, Kitshka, Milou, Texas on April 28, 2013|
The weekend is over but I think the humans are happy the entire week is over and hope they (and we) can have a less eventful stressful new week. Milou is not completely back to normal but we sure hope he will get better.
Thank you so much again for all your powerful purrs. Here’s a rare family picture of us three to thank you!
Notice the natural born leader in this house is on top ;-) Life is good.
So, with everything that happened, my editorial schedule was all messed up. Here is what is going to take place the coming week: on Tuesday, I will have super great news about my blog; on Thursday, my human and I are going to review the same great book we were supposed to review last Thursday; on next Caturday, we will have another book review (and a giveaway) related to kitties (of course) and poetry and drawings!
Wishing you all a good week to come!
[Comments have been disabled – I will tell you why on Tuesday]

Texas! The humans are back with Milou
I purrsonally inspected his carrier to make sure he was treated appropriately. It smelled strange.
WELCOME BACK HOME MILOU!
I’m back!
Again, thank you to all of you who left loving and caring messages! We are ever so thankful!

Thanks to Ann of Zoolatry for the graphic
Hiya furriends,
So we have partial good news!
The vet has made the humans wait all day to get back to them because he was doing a surgery (but not to Milou!).
Milou has been doing better. He is eating (now, that’s our Milou!). But the vet wanted to keep him another night. If he’s doing as well until tomorrow, the humans will be able to bring him home!
Of course, the inflammation problem will have to be dealt with later, but right now, this is good news!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone for their purrs, prayers, thoughts and get-well wishes! I knew that Milou would be able to feel all your love!
Thank you!!

Thank you so very much to all of you who left get-well wishes and purrs and prayers for Milou.
Thank you also to Ann of Zoolatry for sharing the info with this beautiful graphic of hers.
We are very moved by all your purrs and thoughts and I am sure Milou can feel the love!
He is spending tonight at the vet again unfortunately. He is still not eating and is on IV. The infection also reached the kidney :-( So the vet will have to cure him of the infection before checking what’s wrong with the intestines.
Hopefully, we can get him home tomorrow. I will keep you posted. I might not post anything other than an update tomorrow.
Thanks again for your support.

Hiya everyone!
I had planned a Wordless Wednesday but it won’t happen because we are a little bit worried about Milou.
He has not been feeling too well lately. First he has lost a lot of weight and that’s just not Milou. So the humans took him to the vet on Friday and it turned out he has a urinary infection.
Another problem is that he has inflamed intestines. It might be the inflammatory bowel disease, or something else that we all hope it is not. A biopsy is necessary to know more.
In the past 24 hours, Milou has barely eaten but he drank a lot. It is very unlike Milou not to eat. So the humans were really worried. So he went back to the vet yesterday and the vet kept him in observation for the night.
We are quite worried and are purring for him. We cross our paws for better news soon. I will keep you updated.

The other day I found a super cool box…
Something is telling me I won’t be able to keep it to myself long though…

In French, the word “bookworm” can be translated into the expression “rat de bibliothèque” (library rat). Well, I’m certainly not a rat (!) or a worm (!!) but I’ve always loved books! I guess that makes me a bookcat!
These pics were taken when I was about 9 months old, at my human’s Mom’s home. I was on top the book case. You can click on any picture of the gallery below to biggify and get to the diaporama but first I want to show you something.
Can you see the wallpaper peeling a little near the ceiling? It was me! I wanted to be a home decorator at the time! And can you see my tail? That’s because my human thought I wouldn’t be a good home decorator! The nerve!
You will be able to see that on several pics I am watching my piece of art very proudly!
Speaking of books, my human and I will review a wonderful book on Thursday.
I also learned from Cat Wisdom 101 that April is National Poetry Month. It will finally (I say finally because this has been a project since last December!) be the occasion for a book giveaway linked to poems, drawings and… kitties of course! And this will be on Caturday!
So I wish everyone a great week and hope to see you all on these two days especially!

I don’t know about you, but my human has had a busy past week.
Consequently, I have to work today and do my job of Chief Napper. Actually, I even have to hire an assistant!
How was your week and your weekend? Purrs to everyone!

Kitshka! Go back to work!

Sorry furriends, gotta run!…

Not so long ago, when my human’s Mom sent me my favorite food for my purrthday, it was packed – you guessed it! – in a box. The box is from the French post office and it can be folded and unfolded.
Of course, it is not enough that the usual suspects would play with MY tunnel… some Mademoiselle has to get MY box too!
I was peacefully napping in my box when…
Who’s this? Is this Kitshka?
Yes, it is Kitshka…
Kitshka: Hiya Texas! Can I come play in your box?
Texas: No!
Kitshka: purrlease…
Texas: Seriously, no!
Kitshka: Come on…
Texas: Get out or I’ll bunny kick you out!
Kitshka: But we can both fit in it!
Texas: Out! Out!
Out out out!
Kitshka: Texas is being mean to me, sniff…
Texas: Awww… well, okay, let’s share the box…
Kitshka: Hooray!!
Texas: I think I’m gonna have to find me another box…
Kitshka: Don’t take so much room, Texas!
Texas: Yep, I need another box…
Hey, Texas!
Are you leaving?
I guess that means the box is mine then, right?

My tunnel is super cool and super fun to play with, in, around! I haven’t used it to teleport yet but K and I had lots of fun chasing each over through it.
Needless to say that everyone here, except the humans – Thank Ceiling Cat! – wants to play with it!
Here are the usual suspects, waiting for their turn.
Of course, you’ve seen Kitshka already. Look at Milou.
If only he would stop hissing at me all the time, we could play together!
Have a great, playful Sunday, everyone!

I don’t know if you have noticed, but lately, my human has seized any occasion to post a link to her bloggie on MY BLOG. What can I say? I have way more followers than she has. Ah!
Nevertheless, she came up with an idea she came up with some links from bloggies she was following and I came up with an idea!
Some of the blogs she is following – cooking or other blogs but not cat blogs per se – sometimes post stories about the kitties in the bloggers’ lives. Sometimes I post the links of some posts on my Facebook profile because I think you might enjoy checking them.
So I came up with an idea: Why not post the links in a post here? This could be a monthly post. We think anything kitty-related is interesting, don’t you think?
Please, check the links below and at the bottom of this post, I added a quick survey for you to tell me if you like the idea and would like me to try a monthly edition. Be honest! These are links I have selected because I think you might enjoy checking them, but you are the best able to tell me ;-)
Thank you in advance and enjoy!
This first link is just so you can see cute Norma Jean!
Here are pictures of Flyball, eating baby spinach leaves! I think I’ll stick with chicken though =^.^=
Want to visit the Agora in Athens? What about a kitty as a guide?
The kitties at Love & Olive Oil have trained their humans well!
And finally for the March edition, how to make a cardboard cat condo! That’s a nice project for your humans, I think.
Hope you liked the links! Don’t forget to vote. I already have 5 links for April – and we can never get enough kitties, can we? – but I want to know if you are interested! Thank you!

So, as you know, Texas celebrated his 7th purrthday last week. One of his gifts was a super cool tunnel!
I have been having lots of fun with it. I LOVE it!

I wonder if I could use the lights to teleport Quill and Greyson here…

[Still not sure what VBP is? Check here.]
Dear Furriends,
Today, we have a special announcement regarding the VBP Blog Hop.
On January 17 of this year, Jet, Savannah, and I started a blog hop called VBP – Vocab Building Project (Check above link for more information).
We had lots of fun using new words, and I loved looking for French/English idioms (VBP) that were similar or not and which included the word cat. Unfortunately, life being life, we cannot get the energy needed to continue it right now. So we have decided to stop it, at least momentarily.
I would like to thank all the furriends who collaborated in this project:
Jet and his human, for coming up with the original idea for the blog hop! We’re sending you lots of purrs and hugs!
Savannah and her human, for their perseverance (VBP) and patience, and for posting when we couldn’t. We send you hugs and purrs too!
Miss Ann from Zoolatry for creating all the graphics that you see on this post, as well as the badges. Again, hugs and purrs!
Last but not least, thank you to all the furriends who pawticipated! We hope you had fun in the process. We certainly loved reading your posts! Lots of purrs!
A special shout-out to The Tabbies O Trout Towne for participating to all but 2 of the total of 11 hops! Thank you! Lots of purrs! And salmon!
So, for now, we are closing the VBP dictionary and stopping the hop. But one day maybe…
P.S.: If you had planned a VBP post and plan to post it, please post the link in the comment and I will post a link in a post next week. Thank you furry much for your understanding!

Hiya my dear furriends!
Thank you all so very much for your wishes and for coming to my purrthday pawty! I was – am – both blessed (VBP) and blissful (VBP) to have had you all here!
Here are two more cards that I received. The first one is from Mollie and Alfie:
Thank you guys! This mousie looks very yummy!
And the second one is from my furriend Easy:
Loved, absolutely loved the beret and the baguette!
I am yet to visit each and everyone of you to thank you purrsonally. Sorry to be so late.
But you see, on top of my human having little time, I did need some time to offset (VBP) the effects of nip… I had to nap a little…
And so did Kitshka…
We were exhausted (VBP)!
So we’ll be back to blogging and visiting your bloggies starting tomorrow!
Also something else impawtant: we’ll have an announcement regarding VBP on Thursday. But for now, mum’s the word! (VBP)
Below are the past week’s pawticipants. As always, click on the bluey badge at the bottom of this post to enter your link for this week. And don’t forget to grab the badge! Thanks to everyone!

Hiya everyone!
First of all, the VBP post will be posted exceptionally (VBP) by Kitshka tomorrow.
Now to really impawtant things.
How are you doing today? I’m glad that you came because my human has been preparing some treats for my purrthday just for me and I want to share them with my furriends! That’s you!
First things first: look at the beautiful cards I received from my furriends!
My very good furriend, Sammy!
Thank you Sammy! I love your hat!
My sweetest furriend, Savannah!
It’s an honor to have such a beautiful Ladycat sending me a card!
My human’s mother – the best cat sitter EVER! – sent me this yummy cupcake on Facebook!
Doesn’t it look yummy? I bet it’s tuna!
And I also received chicken from Vincent, one of my Facebook fans!
Oh! I almost forgot: my vet sent me a cool ecard too!
Thank you all so furry much! And thank you to all of you who left wishes on my Facebook profile!
Look what I got!
4 different bags of treats, catnip puffs, a catnip pepper and… a tunnel! I love my catnip pepper already!
The tunnel is amazing! It sounds like crinkly paper and there are lights!
I received my best favorite ever food from Europe, thanks to Janina!
And as a cake, my human wanted to make me a tuna cake BUT since I had received all this wonderful food from France, I had my favorite: Tuna & Shrimps!
There is some for everyone, so help yourself! There are treats too! Go ahead! You can taste them all!
Then we can go play in my new tunnel!
Finally, the human had this weird idea to bake something for your humans too. When she told me what she baked, I was shocked! SHOCKED!
Wanna know what it is?
This could be part of our VBP post… take notes Kitshka.
Okay I tell you…
Cat’s tongues! Yes, in French, des langues de chat!
Have no fear! Those are just biscuits that have the shape of our tongues. Ah! Humans really!
You can throw some to your humans, and let’s have fun!
I want to pawty!
