Jessie's New Do

No, this isn't a lion, it's our 17 year old cat, Jessica. She usually takes pretty good care of her grooming. Her hair got really matted around her chest and neck area. Usually I have been very successful in cutting out the mats myself, until yesterday. My luck ran out and I ended up snipping Jessie's skin along with the mats. I felt horrible! Took her to the vet to get checked out and they ended up giving her what is called a "lion cut." Thankfully she didn't need stitches, but they did glue the cuts to shut them. They also gave her an antibiotic shot. Bad thing is they had to give her anesthesia so they could shave and glue her. It was a long, stressful day for both of us. We ended up keeping her inside last night because it was chilly and she was still under the influence of the anesthesia. Happy to say that this morning she is back to her old self and if it ever warms up I'll be letting her back outside. Her hair will grow back out, but she seems to be enjoying her new do. Moral of the story is don't ever try to remove cat mats with scissors. Always leave it up to the pros :0) A funny side note. When I brought Jessie in from the vets our male cat, Bullet, didn't recognize her with her new hair cut. He immediately bowed up and his tail and the fur on his back was puffed out. It was funny!

It's hard to believe that our sweet Jessie cat will be 17 years old this year! She is the sweetest cat I have ever owned and I've had many cats in my life. She's really been enjoying the warm weather we've been having lately. She loves to sleep on top of our spa cover. When it's cold she stays holed up in the garage. Guess her old bones can't handle the cold much anymore.

Meanwhile, Bullet has discovered a way to open the cabinet where I keep our plates. Sunday morning, he tried to jump inside the cabinet, but there wasn't any room. After several futile attempts he finally gave up.

Busted! He's thinking maybe she won't be mad at me because I'm just so darned cute.

Cats Just Wanna Have Fun

When Terry got up the other morning, he found our cat, Bullet on top of our kitchen cabinets.

He decided while he was up there to have a little snack. At night, we take up Jessie and Libby cat's dry food and stash it on top of the fridge. Looks like it's time to get the Scat Mats back out :0)

Sink Kitty

Bullet in our utility room sink. Crazy cat!

Afternoon Nap

Bullet in one of his favorite napping spots...the window sill in our
office window. With a nice breeze and low humidity today, it's an
ideal spot!

How Much is that Kitty in the Window?

Our cat, Bullet, loves sleeping in the window sill.

Our cat, Bullet, straddling the back of the recliner in our office room.
This is one of his favorite spots to hang out and check out what's going
on in the outside world. This picture cracks me up :0)

Kitty Fun on a Stormy Day

Our cat, Bullet, checking out our 16 year old cat, Jessica. We let
Jessica in during the stormy weather on Friday. The two get along
pretty well, but Bullet is a kitten and he can get a little too rough
sometimes. Jessie cat lets him know who the top cat on the totem
pole is :0)






Pals.
