There is clay, crystal, pine, tofu, grass, walnut, corn, newspaper, seriously so many. For my cats the winner is clearly Pretty Litter which is a non-clumping crystal litter which I think is highly because of the very fine grain texture which gives it a very luxurious soft feel on the paws, however it is also probably the most expensive costing about $3.81/LB. The least favorite is definitely FelinePine, a pine pellet also non-clumping which in contrast come to about .426¢/LB. The pellet type litter is much harder and burying their waste is harder on the paws (especially if you have older or declawed cats) which I think is a reason they weren't too fond of it. And they really let me know by pooping on the floors instead. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Clay is by far the cheapest material in cat litter but some people have had success with alternatives such as horse bedding or making their own homemade litter. I don't really like clay because it is hard to clean, sometimes it cements itself to the box and if you have a box with some curves or nooks it gets EXTREMELY difficult to clean. In my experience clay doesn't hold smell very well and it is very heavy to haul around. The cheapest clay litter is by Frisco which comes to about .37¢/LB.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Looking online the past few days the cheapest clumping non clay option as of <b>May 3, 2022</b> is <i><b>Naturally Fresh Multi Cat Litter, 40-lb</b></i> bag <b><u>$31.99</u></b> which comes to about <b><u>.80¢/LB</u></b>. Non-clumping options will always be slightly cheaper than their clumping counterpart. This is still cost more than double what clay litter goes for but it is very easy to clean and holds smells pretty well. Petco has the option of ordering online and picking up in store for and additional 10% off. </p>

I will be reaching out to the city's building department to schedule a final inspection *fingers crossed*</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Earlier this week I took Chief out for a little outdoor adventure with another kitty friend and this time he did much better than during the big meet up the prior week. I think there were too many people and cats and not enough greenery for him to explore. We went to a little area this time and he was adamant about chasing the squirrels and birds! Of course he was on a leash and I did not let him go far as if he had his way he would run all the way up the side of the steep hill! I think he was getting a little frustrated because he really wanted to get up close with the small animals, he is a cat after all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, I won <a href="https://www.sweetpurrfections.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Purrfection's </a>giveaway! I am so stoked because it's the first time I won any giveaway. The SleepyPod carrier is a big hit with the kitty crew, I leave it out and they use it as a bed. It's great as a carrier as well because it can close on the top making it easier to get cats into it. Thank You Paula!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I also got my planner in the mail, it's very adorable with everyone's kitty photos in it. I absolutely love it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hope everyone is having a good week, I'll be swinging by your blogs when I get a chance this week.

The Pro line is better for preparing raw pet food and making your own grinds and the #8 is actually great but it can mostly handle small bones, chicken wings and necks but is capable of handling bigger bones as long as you cut them to smaller pieces first and skin should also be cut down before going into the machine. The <a href="https://amzn.to/3njTplA" target="_blank">#32</a> is more heavy duty and should be easier to grind up bones without me cutting them down first, saving me a lot of time!

I have everyone on insurance except Mia and Coral. If you have a young cat without pre-existing conditions, it may be worth it to get insurance. I got Mia and Coral when they are already in their geriatric ages and coverage starts at $250 per cat per month! While everyone else costs about $80/per cat per month and I don't do basic when it comes to the cat fam so we get the best coverage available.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Recently, Cleo had intestinal blockage due to swallowing some random things and I had to take her to the emergency vet. If you know about vet visits you have to pay upfront before any service (at least here anyways) and that can be very stressful for some parents who don't have the money or can't get a credit loan. My charges were <b><u>$11,852.87</u></b> upfront before they can do surgery. Holy Moly. I mean we all hear stories about how expensive the vet is but boy did my soul leave my body. Of course I would do anything for my babies but I can't say it didn't hurt especially with the remodeling going on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They usually charge you the upper limit estimate and luckily for me they refunded me <b>$3262.55</b> but that was still <b><u>$8590.32</u></b> out of pocket! Thankfully with insurance, and after some back and forth emails, they reimbursed me <b><u>$7551.29</u></b> leaving me to just pay a grand total of </div><h1 style="text-align: center;"><b>$1039.03</b></h1><div><span style="text-align: justify;">I couldn't be more grateful, thankful because without insurance I would be in some financial trouble. Definitely get insurance if you can, because nobody wants to take their kitties to the emergency vet! I'm sharing the exact cost to be transparent on just how much the vet costs.</span></div>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435279803138672942.post-70970448934804416012021-12-12T00:00:00.061-08:002021-12-12T00:00:00.163-08:00Sunday Selfie 03 : Rosie<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi07jaWkyR1-8bR8LS8_Dfl4_RknjFQKN3aHQc1yamMJzfIhoQSazD26z2tEWP4LIWA1QVPYIqPO6lCJtUBsfahUPPBxGXmBpjCEm9CG90pirA_BsBYhAoYACVL2m6-6njh9PdbQiLXBz6sel9XudSg03hUJmCy1aWeLhFRdKm9VO0FrsK943yKE1gwsg=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi07jaWkyR1-8bR8LS8_Dfl4_RknjFQKN3aHQc1yamMJzfIhoQSazD26z2tEWP4LIWA1QVPYIqPO6lCJtUBsfahUPPBxGXmBpjCEm9CG90pirA_BsBYhAoYACVL2m6-6njh9PdbQiLXBz6sel9XudSg03hUJmCy1aWeLhFRdKm9VO0FrsK943yKE1gwsg=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Sunday Selfie</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> is brought to you by </span><a href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">The Cat on My Head</a><span style="text-align: justify;">. </span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rosie is quite a lovable character. Her previous owner had named her Artemis, but I just call her Rosie even though I made up this ridiculous long name for her Penthouse Princess Rose "Rosie" Royce. She has an incredible appetite for an 8 pound cat, she will eat, and eat, and keep eating until all the food is gone. She will 1) eat everyone's leftovers 2) spend at least an hour finishing up the food 3) get into unopened bags of food and go to town 4) find food in places I didn't even know had food...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rosie is extremely, EXTREMELY food motivated that she can easily be clicker trained. She knows a few tricks though the one she likes is fist bump by touching your hand hoping you will give her food. She's also so food motivated that I got a SureFeed Microchip Feeder for Chief (since he eats very slow) but Rosie already figured out how to beat the system....She's a spoiled kitty.</div>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435279803138672942.post-86419637325762871352021-12-10T00:00:00.001-08:002021-12-10T00:00:00.176-08:00Friday Blog Hops : December 10, 2021<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGGtrqJFS6SuIfdf89YpQWpYITW5nDTL8wwYbMO1g0zjBLI6e5OWJgQG6oFcPlBbmpmP-yrkqee8hoHyMeNGNSjiTF8_rdy0GVvKRpnbFSRpOvKzVYVbrgHy9lGsQ8Xaon0JgW1b8pBY-zW3E7qKTQ7f8G2R2fsn8Rk_etxz9sG-buwx9_c_BC4frDqA=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGGtrqJFS6SuIfdf89YpQWpYITW5nDTL8wwYbMO1g0zjBLI6e5OWJgQG6oFcPlBbmpmP-yrkqee8hoHyMeNGNSjiTF8_rdy0GVvKRpnbFSRpOvKzVYVbrgHy9lGsQ8Xaon0JgW1b8pBY-zW3E7qKTQ7f8G2R2fsn8Rk_etxz9sG-buwx9_c_BC4frDqA=w600-h640" width="600" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Happy Friday everybody!

I don't know if this is male or female so I named them 'Kuroneko' which means black cat in Japanese. There's at least 5 cats here so likely more that go unseen. Kuroneko is the most friendly and social of the bunch, will come greet you, and can be bribed with treats. I believe they've been around for at least 7 or 8 years, and I can see very subtle cloudiness in Kuroneko's eyes so it's reasonable to say they are probably around that age. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The cats are clipped but not chipped (ear tipped but not microchipped). I feel bad sometimes when I see friendly stray cats because they would be great candidates for getting adopted. Also it will be a better life for them. I understand if they cat is feral then it's best to release them back to where they came from. They all hangout on the patch of grass in the sidewalk of the corner home and they jump the fence to hangout in the backyard of the corner house.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipmGEhH4-RZZ4N8SfvZyJTyA2C5P8b2ki2zzvKQgfgLXTE_qRz-2dQT5k2JwFaF4fMN2dfCfL_FbIvygbbJTm_WsL1a5GIUkWBS8Y7lnoE9xTnk1YaukE358mQF-vYXacgoOWYmP63DNIHihg8YO0tR_majciKAYqd7gaPYJbScIxFztLc7L_fpR0SWg=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipmGEhH4-RZZ4N8SfvZyJTyA2C5P8b2ki2zzvKQgfgLXTE_qRz-2dQT5k2JwFaF4fMN2dfCfL_FbIvygbbJTm_WsL1a5GIUkWBS8Y7lnoE9xTnk1YaukE358mQF-vYXacgoOWYmP63DNIHihg8YO0tR_majciKAYqd7gaPYJbScIxFztLc7L_fpR0SWg=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><p></p>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435279803138672942.post-66562618220271500262021-12-05T00:00:00.278-08:002021-12-05T00:00:00.165-08:00Sunday Selfie 02 : Chief<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxToc29e-xGcVUQeOvcnRk_IssUkGRCXuUbXfcmDngayn52Qv--Zp62qfSWImL4veXRHTdS_Iz8_MqKDYdHrBFb5lI3A-EmB-R7l_fv2s5d1RhI7CZo7hfH9rTbxnFukT04bgfmyRBGfQgbyqewHFPMJt2YuvbF8NIjEtFT9GVIxbPx_0o4RqB5l9BhQ=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxToc29e-xGcVUQeOvcnRk_IssUkGRCXuUbXfcmDngayn52Qv--Zp62qfSWImL4veXRHTdS_Iz8_MqKDYdHrBFb5lI3A-EmB-R7l_fv2s5d1RhI7CZo7hfH9rTbxnFukT04bgfmyRBGfQgbyqewHFPMJt2YuvbF8NIjEtFT9GVIxbPx_0o4RqB5l9BhQ=w640-h640" width="640" /></a><br /><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Another Sunday, so here is another <a href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/" target="_blank">Sunday Selfie</a> hosted by <a href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/" target="_blank">The Cat on My Head</a>. This is my favorite shot of Chief, my Maine Coon. He loves going outside, to the yard, to the neighborhood park, and sometimes he will try to whine and whine until he gets his way. I always walk him on a harness, and the one I use for him is the <a href="https://supakit.co/" target="_blank">Supakit Cat Harness</a> and the backpack is from <a href="https://yourcatbackpack.com/" target="_blank">Your Cat Backpack by Travel Cat</a>. He enjoys going out during the daytime, when the sun is out because he loves basking in the sunshine and rolling around in dirt!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apparently cats love to roll around in dirt, but we do not 100% understand why. Perhaps they want a dirt bath, or maybe instinctually to mask their scent by covering themselves with the environment making it harder for predators to find them, or perhaps they are just enjoying themselves and expressing their contentment? <i>Those who have indoor/outdoor cats or let your cats outside does your kitty display this behavior?</i></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I want to say <b>THANK YOU</b> to everyone who visited or commented on my blog, I see you and just know I visit each and every single one of you! I'm amazing at just how many cat bloggers are out there and some of you have been blogging for many years! Happy to share the love for our feline friends.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Continue reading if you like for my <b>This Week's Highlights</b> (general personal life stuff, cat stuff...just stuff...)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure how I want to format this yet, maybe another separate entry on the same day or one long daily entry? Anyways, what went on this week:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><b>finished my last exam for the semester.</b> Wooo! I have 2 weeks of "Winter Vacation" until Spring Semester class starts which will end in May, then I will be done with the Animal Nutrition Course. Hopefully by the end I will feel more confident in making homemade diets for my cats. If you didn't know, my cats (those who reside in my home, not the family home) are on a raw-fed diet. I would really like to gain a better understanding on how to create a balanced raw diet. They still get supplemental wet food and dry food for food puzzles or food toys though. <br /><br /></li><li><b>saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert</b> in Sacramento. The traffic was <b>horrendous</b>. Probably one of the worst I ever experienced. What usually takes 1.5 hours (give or take) took us 3 hours to get there (we left 2 hours before the show started), and missed the first half of the performance. I still enjoyed the show, as it was amazing, but bummer we only saw half of it. Hopefully next year they will play in the area again because I'll definitely see them again.<br /><br /></li><li><b>remodel is moving surely but slowly.</b> We only moved out of the previous apartment 7 weeks ago, and I'm hopeful another 6 weeks until we are ready for the final inspection. It was just not reasonable to pay both rent and mortgage. Mostly the 2 bathrooms need to finish the tiles, install the toilets and vanities, and the kitchen is almost done as well, also just need tiles and countertop. The cats are stressed from the chaos, noise, from being cooped up in the rooms as construction is on during the day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, it just feels like forever getting there. I've been living out of boxes, I've no clue where any of my stuff is, and sleeping on the couch the past few weeks but everyday that passes is another day closer to completion.<br /></li></ul></div><p></p></div>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435279803138672942.post-2202557438200088432021-12-03T00:00:00.096-08:002021-12-03T00:00:00.187-08:00Friday Blog Hops : December 3, 2021<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7V5wpmGOWSD3d7s3B51NHcolrcFPGxCDXwKXwceJHebgvBryM9J2lgYoW7RcM5_oNUP4rY4RapVFEdBGGI76n6M9E_VwvxzCzSkyC9BtFe7-dkQYLjWajmxes7bhDXGPhMZGkt19xmVYzpEdWq2vsqDhLMyOxgmkoNjWCCSIw2naByr9KxRF45k7m5g=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7V5wpmGOWSD3d7s3B51NHcolrcFPGxCDXwKXwceJHebgvBryM9J2lgYoW7RcM5_oNUP4rY4RapVFEdBGGI76n6M9E_VwvxzCzSkyC9BtFe7-dkQYLjWajmxes7bhDXGPhMZGkt19xmVYzpEdWq2vsqDhLMyOxgmkoNjWCCSIw2naByr9KxRF45k7m5g=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am participating in a few blog hops this Friday, first is <a href="https://comedy-plus.com/feline-friday/" target="_blank">Feline Friday</a> hosted by <a href="https://comedy-plus.com/">Comedy Plus</a>. This is a photo of my ol' gal <b>Coral</b>, who is Mia's friend. Like Mia, she is also very nimble for her age (16 years young) and she loves nothing more but to purrr in your lap, knead on your belly, sleep on your chest, there is no such thing as purrrsonal space with Coral. If it fits, she sits! She will find a way, nudge her way into your lap, chest, arms, neck, heck she might as well just take a nap on your head! She has the cutest little kink tail which curls at the end, and is about half the length of a normal tail. We don't know what happened or if she was born with it, either way she is purrrfect!</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhARenj22uUzHR2EIdVAarYKlhf-M91-0mrCIu_GBgXDs_mGJt-byYiF27kIy-vV8ZDFQZlOj-vUndC0moTMfAeC9S7tlSSrmHanouRmlAYAmuvST97RLuY638y4qAFCHLSHtWzKPebHZJj7FF_hc2o6HSjCRVb55hgVbqtdYe_XOl4E6U9Q2hOYOvtNA=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhARenj22uUzHR2EIdVAarYKlhf-M91-0mrCIu_GBgXDs_mGJt-byYiF27kIy-vV8ZDFQZlOj-vUndC0moTMfAeC9S7tlSSrmHanouRmlAYAmuvST97RLuY638y4qAFCHLSHtWzKPebHZJj7FF_hc2o6HSjCRVb55hgVbqtdYe_XOl4E6U9Q2hOYOvtNA=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next up is <a href="https://llbinourbackyard.blogspot.com/2021/12/rosy-tree-on-nature-friday.html" target="_blank">Nature Friday</a> hosted by <a href="https://llbinourbackyard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The LLB Gang</a>! This is from a visit to the <a href="https://www.sfbg.org/" target="_blank">San Francisco Botanical Garden</a>. There are many different trees, plants, flowers, you can see throughout the year. One of my favorite places to spend some time with nature when you live in the city. Living in the city naturally (or un-naturally) you will see a lot of apartments, condos, high rises, especially in San Francisco as the cost of living is probably one of the highest in the states, so I do appreciate any chance to explore parts of the city where there are still lush greenery, quiet, away from the busy streets and sounds. </div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIJj5j1phad4NNV79JC1kf7q5zBGIOYvfwWo_8s45WCmZ9Ttvv_-eGYwreKJkNTJTePuZkQ_u1LJOq8zhgPq6IVmWCWz7tlIyO7__Tzu-HSYmB39NZReIFctQl3eqsyp5Gd993SfIH-BPGqUsHtY-PH0yc1Dmxx87aTzzUI_gKCpxAq_dtYgJGfydr8A=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIJj5j1phad4NNV79JC1kf7q5zBGIOYvfwWo_8s45WCmZ9Ttvv_-eGYwreKJkNTJTePuZkQ_u1LJOq8zhgPq6IVmWCWz7tlIyO7__Tzu-HSYmB39NZReIFctQl3eqsyp5Gd993SfIH-BPGqUsHtY-PH0yc1Dmxx87aTzzUI_gKCpxAq_dtYgJGfydr8A=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Lastly, here is my <a href="https://fivesibes.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-snow-dogs-happiness-is-to-run-like.html" target="_blank">Flashback Friday</a> hosted by <a href="https://fivesibes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">FiveSibes</a> featuring my Maine Coon. Chief Baldr Barricade. He goes by Chief, Cade, Mow (pronouced like Mau), Mow Mow, Shmow, Shmowey, Shmowberg, Shmowyberg, Handsome Boy, and probably a whole list of others though I don't think he really responds to any of those options haha. Here is a flashback from a couple days after I brought him home. He took no time adjusting and just began exploring like he knew he was right at home. He explored a bit and took a nap. It was so sweet, and his temperament is exceptional, it's a happy memory.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fivesibes.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-snow-dogs-happiness-is-to-run-like.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="601" data-original-width="601" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEin0jN_BSUbby0-ngixetuotP0A9CYSSCK2tHP1QIFJU8mHOESjdOvoFT2yFyNm2YmHldS-s6ebgWQu6H8kLqaFl8j2IlxBUSmGVuvO4U2hlvqRsiIlFrwaoLOihStscpaLJtfP4ay5VO5FKtJRtL54URy0VoSwYqCIRjXNWG6PMIF0GexF_i4B18BRJQ=w200-h200" width="200" /></a></div>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435279803138672942.post-19976113764846933532021-12-02T00:00:00.079-08:002021-12-02T09:48:58.403-08:00Thankful Thursday : Featuring The Kitty Crew<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5URL67uQ9W45cOHV36l1IFcDuQFNAyYXkpEPG0kLE3USsMbTxAeC0syVbQ2oAhNeIN1RSJIX5X_eytVyEGmnkiIPhwOtSaYGsZA3oRviWogsCEk8zysofNMDGp-a43QyL84FqYaV4HZQi3cJUAk60qF5le-ggW05HloqTuVtJBBSS-Lx9xeHZGh57LA=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1860" data-original-width="2048" height="582" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5URL67uQ9W45cOHV36l1IFcDuQFNAyYXkpEPG0kLE3USsMbTxAeC0syVbQ2oAhNeIN1RSJIX5X_eytVyEGmnkiIPhwOtSaYGsZA3oRviWogsCEk8zysofNMDGp-a43QyL84FqYaV4HZQi3cJUAk60qF5le-ggW05HloqTuVtJBBSS-Lx9xeHZGh57LA=w640-h582" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am joining this week's <a href="https://brianshomeblog.com" target="_blank">Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We are thankful our grandpaw, which is our hooman's dad who has been working very hard on remeowdeling our new home.

She's a quiet and reserved girl but her favorite position to relax in is sitting like she's a human being. It makes me laugh every time I visit her because I never seen a cat do this before. I wonder if it is comfortable for little Memol? The Scottish Fold Cat is quite adorable, they almost look like an owl! Hoo, Hoo~!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sadly my schedule has changed as of late so I have to cut back on my cat sitting services. I will miss seeing Memol and Misha (her little brofur also Scottish Fold) and their little antics! It's not so easy to say good bye to these lovely babies but they are such sweet cats that their next cat sitter will have a blast, I just know it!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Does your kitty(s) have any funny quirks?</div>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435279803138672942.post-9934386243258344532021-11-29T00:00:00.003-08:002021-11-29T13:47:08.009-08:00Awww Mondays : Fall 2021<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGtcuxAcVPAPnV3WBVThJ95yjdkM9IRFXxrnKB42gJd5Q9ZvOytCEAN-YPALlfNS84n4j-cHpcMPyYe49jC1sIXwzfyGfZvNvxl_eI0TVJEDGsv-6Ft1Im-zx6eiTK0z6g-nDTa7846iSXlBM7EBoVZUxNG9TVJSI2KZlFu-iAlO5MbNpU0htCsd0OPw=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGtcuxAcVPAPnV3WBVThJ95yjdkM9IRFXxrnKB42gJd5Q9ZvOytCEAN-YPALlfNS84n4j-cHpcMPyYe49jC1sIXwzfyGfZvNvxl_eI0TVJEDGsv-6Ft1Im-zx6eiTK0z6g-nDTa7846iSXlBM7EBoVZUxNG9TVJSI2KZlFu-iAlO5MbNpU0htCsd0OPw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://comedy-plus.com/awww-mondays/" target="_blank">Awww Mondays</a> is hosted by <a href="https://comedy-plus.com/" target="_blank">Comedy Plus</a>!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is <b>Arlo</b>, one of the kitties I occasionally cat sit for. He was found by his mom by their home near a garbage can. His mom took him in and the rest is hisstory! Sometimes when I visit him he will flop over on his side, roll over, and expose the sacred belly. Of course I don't dare to reach my hand for a belly rub, most cats will not appreciate it! I find it very cute when I visit cats and they roll over on their backs.

For this week I want to introduce you to my lovely gal <b>Mia</b> who is 20 years old and you can see <b>Cora</b>l who is 16 in the back. Mia is such a sweetie, purr machine, and lap kitty. <b><u>Triple Threat!</u></b> Mia and Coral lived together for about 15 years with an older woman who needed to move across the country and they found themselves at <a href="https://wecareanimalrescue.org" target="_blank">We Care Animal Rescue</a> for about half a year. They were not advertised as a bonded pair but I beg to differ, both came home with me that day!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgM6kAp0amMWVWju62weoKVjDjp3yOqk_5VS_xCYm-hX2-z2F8jA7tixuVp0eI4E0Xz_h5hznxAnTBpBCSSKqZpw70lx-6CQL4ZY5VLjYRat2-ZonWrOodra2UtQOOLx0b7vsKnJn0bBSqNEs5eBlTm2WkXkUrwBdFQxQ3_eTXsrahu26_L5ss9QRnNiw=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgM6kAp0amMWVWju62weoKVjDjp3yOqk_5VS_xCYm-hX2-z2F8jA7tixuVp0eI4E0Xz_h5hznxAnTBpBCSSKqZpw70lx-6CQL4ZY5VLjYRat2-ZonWrOodra2UtQOOLx0b7vsKnJn0bBSqNEs5eBlTm2WkXkUrwBdFQxQ3_eTXsrahu26_L5ss9QRnNiw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Mia</b> spends most of her time on my bed, but don't let her age fool you, she is quite nimble and still occasional gets the <b>zoomies</b>! I've woken up to her running up and down my bed dashing past my head. She gets excited when I come back and meows which is the cutest thing (though her voice is mostly gone so her "voice" is very very tiny). She does have Stage II CKD and I do give her Sub-Q Fluids which you can see in the back of the photo.

They give me happiness everyday even when they are raising havoc. I treated my family to dinner the night before Thanksgiving so we can all eat together as we usually don't do anything crazy on Thanksgiving. I did however make use of Black Friday sales on <a href="https://www.chewy.com" target="_blank">Chewy</a> and ordered a bunch of things for the Cat Fam, 35% off the cat litter we use, 25% Primal Raw Freeze Dried Nuggets, 15% Coral & Mia's food, and I added a few other cat toys in the cart. The best deal I got was 30% OFF the Weston Pro #8 Meat Grinder from <a href="http://jcpenney.com" target="_blank">JCPenny's</a>! Amazing deal, what a score!</div><div><br /></div><div>Did you get any good deals?</div><div><br />I hope everyone are able to spend time with those that they love and hug your kitties for me :) I send my virtual kisses and boops.</div>Grimoirelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810063654003901481noreply@blogger.com0
