Happy Thanksgiving!

Georgie watching TV with Pop

We are so very thankful on this day for our Georgie.  She was in pretty bad shape last week and we were afraid she might not make it.  Mom feels awful that she didn't see anything amiss with her before she did.  Georgie is adjusting to her new home inside with us but we think she misses her brothers, the whitesters.  They seem to be missing her too, out in their cat shelter.  Pop told them she was fine and in with us.

Lily, who lives in the house with us,  is Georgie's momcat and she has figured out how to open the door to Georgie's room and visits her often.  Georgie seems to remember her and head bonks her and makes biscuits.  All our other cats will have to adjust to her as a newcomer.

Thank you for your support, donations and bids on Georgie's Recovery Fund Auction.  This is a big expense for us - the 5-day vet hospital stay and all her insulin, needles and blood glucose test strips - it would be very difficult without all of you helping us out..

We have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!  We are blessed to have all we do! Wishing all of you stateside a warm wonderful day of thanks

"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice." ~Meister Eckhart

 P.S. Our auction for Georgie runs thru Dec 7 and new things have been added - check it out over the weekend!

A Visit with Marg

Missy

 

Earlier this month Mom and Pop went to see Marg of Marg's Animals.  They try to get there once a year.  This time it was a cold day so they did not spend much time outdoors where most of the kitties hang out.

 They said it was good to see Marg and all the cats.  Maggie and Ande loved Pop and wouldn't leave him alone.  Mahoney just zoomed thru the room - zoom, zoom, zoom.  Back and forth.

 Little Mom, Tip Tail and LP were outside when they left - waiting for supper.  They also saw Tees, Ohs and Lucky too.  Mom hopes she got the names right - at least on the photos!

UPDATE on Georgie - she is home but still not eating on her own. Mom is force feeding her.  Since they changed insulin after she got home to Lantus, the vet is hoping it stabilizes her and she feels better.  It has been very nerve wracking for Mom. P.S. Georgie ate for Mom on Sunday night - and her blood sugar was way normal!

The auction is up and going with new things added daily so do stop by. Thanks to Ann of Zoolatry for making this super graphic for us.  Feel free to take a copy to use on your blog or Facebook page!  If any of our readers would lie to bid on an item in the auction but don't blog or have a paypal account, please email us - we can work something for you.

Helping Mom Decorate the Tree

Mom and Pop took a drive without us and came back with a real tree!  Tabitha and Woody were the most enthused of all of us. Tabitha went right up to it and stuck her face in the branches.  Must smell nice to her! This is Woody's first tree. He just ran around under the tree and got all excited.

The older cats slept thru it all - been there done that! Besides it was cold and windy and a better day for snuggling.

Darby was the only one who zipped here and there while Mom trimmed the tree.  Mom had all she could do not to trip over her!  A very diligent snoopervisor! All the ornaments are non breakable, mostly hand made and very colorful.  Mom collects them from all over - a lot of them are from Mexico! Last year was so snowy and icy before Christmas that she was not able to get the ornament boxes out of the storage unit and had to make all her tree decorations! She made sure she got them all out extra early this year.

There is still time to do your holiday shopping on our Wildcat Woods Vintage Treasures blog - this month we will be donating 20% of sales to Chrystal of Winnie's Wish towards a new cat shelter. Lots of neat items -  new ornaments, jewelry, books, and more. Please stop by Jan's Funny Farm Fair too for great gift ideas! Her blog helps provide money for all her dogs and cats!

If you haven't picked up our online holiday card - please do.  Ann of Zoolatry offered to downsize the photo to fit better in the sidebar so you have a choice today. From top to bottom - large size, next is 300 px and then 225 px. Mom will be putting all of yours on the sidebar this week - we hope!  She is just getting sloppy about keeping up with the blog! Claims she has too much to do cuz of the holiday!  Sure Mom, whatever you say.....

Tummy Tuesday

Sshhh! Darby is snoozing on the scratch box belly up and lost to the world! We think she has the cutest white fluffy tummy and toes - don't you?


Mom has started another blog called Wildcat Woods Vintage Treasures to help raise money to care for us cats. Do stop by and see some of the things she will be selling on there. We had to move to a smaller place and have lots of extra things - some old, some new, some handmade and all cool. She will keep a link on this blog too. And don't forget to go by Jan's Funny Farm Fair for more great bargains!

Please stop by Gattina's for Cats on Tuesday - a place for people to blog about their cats even if they don't have cat blogs..
