A Naked Cat

Yesderday was the day Izzy got her grooming...
I picked up an Acepromazine (a tranquiler) from our Vet. Frustrated as the counter girl was a biatch to me.  (hey little girl...I have been coming to this Vet since before you were born! He knows me well & knows I take good care of my pets. I don't need you to lecture me about being behind on shots, or argue with me about dosage). I would so rather had talked to the Vet, or someone that has been here for a while & knows what they are talking about... Whatever.

I give Izzy her pill (the too low dose, but okay...) and head to the Groomer.

Janna's Doggie Dos and Kitties Too

Janna is my new Hero... so is her daughter Carlye.

Izzy...poor girl. Didn't realize what was about to happen.  The mats have been clearly uncomfortable. She has been a rather grumpy girl.

Her tranquilizer did NOT kick in.
She was ticked off. Too say the least...

This was her during the grooming... remember, she has been sedated... kind of..
The groomers did a great job considering she was completely turning into a wild cat. We had agreed to get a clean shave, avoid her tail area (no mats & it's such a pretty tail (Emily did not want the Lion cut tail) and leave her neck fluffy too. It took three groomers to handle, calm and groom her. Also a muzzle. (oh and lets not forget that $10 tranquilizer..which btw cost .60 at petmeds.com)

This is her results...

She is too still beautiful!!!
Poor Baby... (Don't look at her tummy rolls).
She is adjusting well. A little flinchy.  A little chilled. But she seems so happy to have the mats a=off.  They were so close to her skin... I know they were painful.

The day was stressful for our little girl.  But... Annie let her up on her bed, and Izzy took a good nap.

It will take about three months to grow back. I am pretty sure we will keep her brushed regularly to avoid this again!

Izzy's a Hottie

She has been living with us since Emily moved into her last house in Muncie. Izzy was able to live with her in the apartment but, this house.. no pets. So, Izzy moved in with us, and our pets.

Izzy can be a bit of a uhm... bitch. She is very much a cat.
{" I will come when I want...Don't touch me... Hiss Hiss scratch claw... Stay out of my way"}.
Anyway, back to the little Diva being a Hottie. She perches herself in a window and looks down upon the peasants. Occasionally the neighbor cat (male) will come over and stare at her. She turns her nose up, hisses and has no interest in this old Tom.

BUT~ the occasion Feral Tom Cat that makes his way thru the neighborhood... that's another story. He is a handsome ruff looking guy. I'm guessing as a human he'd be a Taylor Lautner.
I can't get him on film, he runs off when I try to open the door for a shot.
I did get Izzy on film...

I'm not sure if she wants him or wants to hurt him.
She runs to the windows back and forth until he comes over to the front porch, and she does this.

I think he is shacking up under our house in the crawl space. Remember my story about trying to save the cats that got under the house back in January 2010. The post was "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty".. and can be found HERE .

I gotta get him to move on. Her is causing much havoc here at the Gonzalez home. My dogs are flipping out. Mescha is confused and Rocky, as old as he is, he wants to go kick some Cat butt...

Last night, Hubby and I came home to find Mr Taylor Tom decided to "Mark" the front porch. My cat friends know what I am talking about. A male un-neutered male can spray a horrible urine-like substance, and smells horrible! We could even smell it inside around the entry.

I did get it cleaned up. I used a Outdoor Barrier made by Odor Ban.

I actually haven't noticed him tonight, come to think of it. I was too busy being entertained by the Geese, but that is a whole other posting..

Baby Isabella

This is Emily's Kitten Isabella.

She is doing great, growing stronger and is now eating on her own. Emily is training her and she seems to be a good kitty.

Isn't she adorable?

The New Baby

We have a new Baby in the family.

I haven't met her yet. Her name is Isabella. My Emily has adopted a tiny kitten in Muncie.

The kitten's Mamma's people decided the kittens were ready to be separated from the Mamma. It is way to early. They are 2-3 weeks old.
Tiny little gremlins.
Emily isn't even sure if hers is a girl yet. Her roommate, Elle, also adopted one while Elle's Mom took the remaining two babies. So now they are taking turns bottle feeding these four precious kittens and praying they will survive.

Remember Dakota, the Pomeranian was rescued by Emily last year. Unfortunately, he was too scared to go with her and has become Sergio's dog. I am hoping that Emily's new Baby will bond with her and they will live happily ever after together. She needs a pet living with her. She is a pet person. (She thought she was a dog person, but we are hoping that she is a cat person too). A cat is a better pet for someone that is on the go alot. With Elle as a roommate, the kittens will be happy playing together once they get bigger and stronger.

I can't wait to meet her. I will post a picture soon.
