Adventures of Chip and Chuck NEW PICS #38

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chip and Chuck asked if they could have a tread of their own since Angel and Winnie had one for their first year inside. Of course I caved in.

They are such energetic little stinkers. Once in a while, they need a time out (to give us all time to catch our breath). Don't worry, their time outs are never longer than 15 minutes, if that. Just long enough for them to refocus their attention. ;)

They don't quite grasp the concept of 'time out' yet!

Notice who their guard is!!!

Chester wanted a time out himself for some peace and quiet!

Chuck decided to join Chester! :D

[katladyd]

I am so glad to see that Chester is taking his Big Brother role so seriously. I hope he will enjoy some male bonding in the future!:D

[cassiesmom]

Excellent work trying to figure out how to spring the kittens and slip into the carrier, big brother Chester! I knew you'd be happy to no longer be the only boy in the family :D

Chip and Chuck, who needs a timeout anyway?! Mmwah, mmwah kittens and mmwah mmwah mmwah mmwah for Angel, Winnie, Grandma and Chester!!

[Taz_Zoee]

That is so wonderful! Chester is probably so happy to have some mini-me's running around. :p

[catmandu]

That last photo of Chester curling in the carrier with a young Protege is truly a Photo worth a million words , all of them of love and a friendship that will last many years!!!:love::love::love:
Truly that is one of the nicest Photos I have seen on Pet Talk ever!:cool::cool::cool:

[lvpets2002]

:love: Ummppss how so Cute & Sweet.. I will have to get their TX siblings to look onto the computer & wave at them.. Yes Chip & Chuck you both look to be wittle stinkers too..

[chocolatepuppy]

Chip and Chuck are cuties!!!:love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad that you've given them their own thread. Now we can read all about their little adventures and antics.:) It's good to see that Chester is bonding with them and the last picture is so adorable.:) Please keep the pictures coming.:)

[katladyd]

I agree with Gary, that picture of Chester and Chuck truly warmed my heart and made my day!:love::)

[Husky_mom]

wow Chester seem to be taking the black cuties quite well.. such a good boy.. maybe he felt outnumbered with all the ladies hehe.. he wanted some guy friends ;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Angel has decided she likes her new lil bros. I have proof!

Here she gives Chuck a bath.

[phesina]

Oh, they are all so CUTE!!!!!

[katladyd]

Chester and Angel are being such wonderful older siblings. That brought a big smile to my face. They all feel the love and share it in your house, that's for sure.:love:

[Taz_Zoee]

Can Angel please have a little chat with Paizly? She is not as accepting of her little brother still.

That is adorable! I know Paizly will stop playing with Jax if she notices us watching her. Does Angel do that too? LOL :D

[lvpets2002]

:love: I will have to show Carmela, Tangy & Sunny these pics.. They will say Aweee how so Cute & Sweet..

[krazyaboutkatz]

Awwww!!! Angel is being such a good big sister.:) How is Winnie doing with the kittens?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Awwww!!! Angel is being such a good big sister.:) How is Winnie doing with the kittens?

Winnie does pretty good. She will still give them a head bonk when she thinks they need it. Grandma is the hissing machine now so I tend to keep her in the bedroom away from them so she can have some peace and quiet. She gets free roam when they are shut in the kitchen. We are all settling in. :D :love:

[Grace]

Think about it - if you hadn't rescued Angel and Winnie last year, Chip and Chuck could have been born to one of them.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

After seeing the fun Chip and Chucks TX siblings had with their tunnel, I hunted out the one my brother had sent my kids years ago. Here are some pics. That's Chester in the pic with Angel looking in. There will be two extra pics in the next thread. :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

These two pics are of Chip getting into trouble. Thought they should be full size to capture his orneryness. ;) :D :love:

Chip working on getting a time out! :eek:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/MOFF55/000_7181.jpg

Chip helping himself to a toy! :D
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/MOFF55/000_7180.jpg

I rubbed some pepper on that cord after I chased Chuck off. So far he is avoiding it. Maybe I should invest in a bottle of hot sauce. :eek:

[krazyaboutkatz]

What a nawty little boy Chip is being. I'm glad you caught him before anything bad happened to him though. I hope he and the others will learn not to do this any more. The tunnel looks wonderful and they all seem to love it. Thanks for sharing these pictures with us.:)

[lvpets2002]

:love: Ummppss how so Cute they are.. Yup they look to be enjoying the tunnel alot.. I know mine are crazy with Uncle Gary's Gift Tunnel.. I love the pic with Chip & his toy..

Yes that is what they all told me to do with my outside dogs & their chewing problems was to soak all in Hot Sauce & or Tabbasco.. Well now my dogs Love Hot Sauce & Tabbasco..:rolleyes::p

[gini]

Oh Moff, never one dull second at your house..............even the time outs are full of fun.

:love::love:

[Barbara]

aaawww- what cute little troublemakers:)

[Husky_mom]

couldn´t help but noticing the green paper saying "can you help us?" in the pic where Chip is chewing on the cord...

well, she actually did helped you guys...:D.. unless... it´s from other outside kitties passing a note to the kitty helper lady ;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I hadn't even noticed that paper! It was something they perloined out of the trash. :D

That cord that Chip was munching on is the tv cable cord to my Internet connection. I checked it and it has lots more teeth marks on it than he could possibly have put on it in that short of time I took the picture. I'm thinking Winnie may be munching on it at night. Guess tonight she will go in lock down in the kitchen with the babies.

I sort of hate to try hot sauce on the cords. I don't want to hurt their mouths or make them sick. :(:love:

[cassiesmom]

Chip and Winnie, listen up: DON'T chew on that cord! It is bad for you! Meowmie gives you toys and food you can safely chew on. But no cords, please.

How cute of Angel to give her little bro-fur a wash up! KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS! (that's six kisses for six kitties ... two toddlers, two preschoolers, a big brother and sister)

[lvpets2002]

:) No No Dont you dare put that on stuff on anything the cats could get too.. It would hurt their wittle mouths.. When I said they told me to do to my chewing prob of BIGG OutSide Dogs.. And that has been years ago..

Don't worry! I won't! :love: My brother had told me to do that last year when Winnie started in with the chewing. I just couldn't risk hurting her (or them now). The best solution will be keeping them in the kitchen when I can't be watching them every second. No cords within reach there. :D :love:

[Catty1]

I don't know how far away your brother is - but if you could get some long clear tubing (the length of the cords that need protecting) with a single slice down the length of it, they could be fitted over the cords. Hardware stores may have it...but it would be nice to have your brother fit it on. Though if your fingers are fairly flexible, it's easy to do.:)

VERY cute pics....how bad dey are!:D:love::love:

ETA: Do you even remember the days before Winnie and Angel came along?

I was going to suggest that too.:) I think the tubing comes in heavy duty
hard rubber/plastic and metal coverings. Let them chomp on that once and
they woudn't like it. :)

I really loved seeing the pictures of all (but Grandma) interacting with the
tunnel.:D That's a real ice breaker & gets them all involved.LOL:D

I do have that tubing on some of the cords. It was pretty expensive so I only covered some of the cords. I'm thinking about splitting a paper towel tube and taping it on that cord until I can get back to Walmart Friday and get more of the plastic stuff. It might not stop them but it would slow them down giving me a chance to shoo them off.

Yea, I do remember life before Winnie and Angel. It was a very sad time. I was so depressed because of losing Leonardo. Those two sure helped me and made me laugh again. :) :love: Not to mention turned the house upside down. :D

[cassiesmom]

from ultimatecatsecrets.com (I added the italics)...

"Block access to visible cords by wrapping flexible safety cable (available at hardware stores) around them. Tin foil works well too, or even a thicker model or extension cord (that is too big for a cat to chew on)

"Apply unpleasant-tasting substances to exposed cords. These could include bitter apple spray, menthol, toothpaste, mouthwash or lemon juice.

"My favorite solution is rubbing the cords with a bar of soap."

Cassie hates aluminum foil. I wonder why toothpaste tastes unpleasant to a cat? She sure does love the cap from a toothpaste tube as a toy!

[columbine]

Supposedly cats hate grapefruit - you could try rubbing grapefruit peel on the cords.

Cuddles and chin rubs to Chip and Chuck - when they're being good!

Love, Columbine

[momoffuzzyfaces]

This morning I put an empty paper towel roll around that cord and taped it on. So far so good.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm thinking maybe brushing liquid dish soap on the cords might work too. I use Dawn so it shouldn't hurt them if they get a taste. ;) :love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi, Chip and Chuck, big brother Chester, and big sisters Angel, Winnie and Grandma! How are you? How was your Fourth of July weekend? Could you please have meowmie give you some hugs, kisses and snuggles from me?

Your admiring fan,
Elyse :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

We all had a nice sort of quiet 4th. I was glad for that. The kids are all doing well. How I ever watched tv without Chip and Chuck to keep me safe from space invaders, I'll never know. They both seem to love watching tv and movies. We are on our third viewing of Independence Day this weekend right now. ;)

All snuggles, hugs and kisses have been delivered. They all send thanks and luvies and head bumpies to you too.:love:

Special wave and luvies to thier Texas siblings too. :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chuck got into the toy box this morning and was having a blast. Of course, there are pics. They are sort of blurry because he was in constant motion. There is one of Chip too, just relaxing after he destroyed the kitchen. Of course, there has to be one of Miss Angel too. She is 11 months old on the 13th. :D :love:

Claudia & Calvin

[phesina]

Oh, aren't they just so sweet! And Ms. Angel is looking so mature!

[lizbud]

Hi Angel :) Loved the pictures of the little guys.:D It sure doesn't take
much for these little ones to be happy. Food, love & a warm spot to sleep.
Oh, and a box of toys to play in. Hi Chip & Chuck.:)

[Karen]

Lis, you forgot - and electrical cords to chew on and trouble to find! ;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

They sure are cutie pies.:) I can't believe that Angel will soon be 1 year old.:eek: Where does the time go?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Lis, you forgot - and electrical cords to chew on and trouble to find! ;)

Speaking of electrical cords, I was vacuuming the other day and looked behind me. There was Winnie chewing on the vacuum cord!!! :rolleyes: What is it with her and cords? She is way worse about that than all three babies put together. :love:

[lvpets2002]

:love: Mmm that is pretty weird that she does that so much.. I have never had a problem with any of my babies.. Well second thought Tatiana likes my phone cords & has chewed thru 2 of them.. Ok maybe its a girly thing to do..:p

[dehlers43]

I think some kitties have a plastic fetish.....my Franklin loves to chew up those crinkly plastic grocery bags - I have to be diligent about keeping them away from him.....maybe Winnie likes the plastic used to make cords?

[Barbara]

They have grown so much- isn't that the best time with kittens?:love:

[astrid]

They're all so cute!!! I can't believe Angel is almost 1 yr. old!! :eek:
Lots of kisses to all of them!!:love::love::love::love::love::love:

[cassiesmom]

Chip and Chuck are sad that no one looks at their pics any more. :D :D :love:


Hi again, Chip and Chuck and hi, big sis Angel! I look at your pics a LOT but I don't always post. Cos you know I think you and your Texas siblings are so very precious and adorable and fun!

:love:
Your admiring fan,
Elyse

[Prairie Purrs]

Happy 11-month birthday to Angel and early happy three-month birthday wishes to Chip and Chuck! :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Happy 11-month birthday to Angel and early happy three-month birthday wishes to Chip and Chuck! :love:

They thank you very much!

To celebrate they tried having their own beach party this morning. Not sure who opened one of the extra bags of kitty litter but am sure all three were having a grand time playing in it. :D Miss Angel did that once when she was, um, younger so she may have taught them how to open it, or opened it for them. They had a grand time until I put an end to it by sweeping the litter up. mean mean mommy!!! :D:D:love:

[cassiesmom]

A beach party! Cassie is sorry to have missed it ;)

HUGS,
elyse

[phesina]

Oh, what fun! A day at the beach! And that mean spoilsport Meowmie stopping it.. what a party pooper.

They all had their favorite treats this morning which they shared with their big brother and sisters. They have been on their very best behavior this morning. (thankfully) They all having naps now. :D :love:

Hi, Chip and Chuck and hi, Angel and Winnie, Chester and Grandma! Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss!!

they are waving HI back and thank you for the kisses!!! :D :love:
Winnie has adopted Chip and Chuck. She washed both their faces last night. They didn't care for having their ears washed, but they let her do it. Of course, they had the look of, "aw, mom", that most kids get when they have that done. :D:D:D :love:

[lizbud]

Happy 3 month Birthdays Chip & Chuck.:love: Doesn't seem like Angel
is almost 1 year old already. Where does the time go?:) Kisses & lovies
all 'round from us in Indy.:)

[Grace]

I love the mental picture I'm getting of Winnie taking care of those little ones :love:

Between her and Angel, they don't stand a chance :)

Excellent work, Mommy Winnie!

[katladyd]

Winnie is such a good momma! See how wonderful Angel turned out? Winnie and Angel had a tough start, but love saw them through!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Tomorrow Chip and Chuck go to the vet for their "big adventure". I'm just telling them they will be going on a 'sleepover'. Poor babies. They are sleeping like little angels right now. sigh

Please keep them in your thoughts. The vet will do their surgeries Tuesday morning and will call me later that day to let me know how they did. They will get to come home Wednesday. Gosh, the house will sure be quiet while they are gone. :( :love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm sure that everything will go well. I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers. Your little boys are growing up.:)

[phesina]

Congratulations, Chip and Chuck! You will come home as MEN!

[Don Juan's mom]

Congratulations, Chip and Chuck! You will come home as MEN!

Ummmm.... are you sure? ;)

[cassiesmom]

Positive thoughts, fingers and paws crossed, and prayers for Chip and Chuck and their meowmie :love:

Hello, Chip and Chuck, Chester and Grandma, and Winnie and Angel Rose! I hope you are not too hot on these summer days! How was your weekend?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

It was sure hard for me to leave my two frightened babies at the vets this morning. :( They will get to share a cage though until after their surgeries tomorrow. The vet will call me and let me know when they wake up from the surgeries. They can come home at 9 on Wednesday. :)

How will I ever watch tv without them? They like to sit on my lap and protect me from tv monsters. :D

It's really really hot and humid here and will be all week. We all just hang out inside with the ac on.

[slick]

Everything including eyes crossed here. :love:

[phesina]

Prayers for Chip and Chuck with their Bar Mitzvahs.

[katladyd]

Sending good thoughts to you and the "boys". Male kitties come through this like nothing happened. I picked Ming up the afternoon of his snip and he came home and promptly ran up the cat tree and got in a fight with Mac! Your vet must be very conservative and careful. Nothing wrong with that. Where I live, they always come home the same day. I wish all of you the best!:love:

[lvpets2002]

:love: Hey Chip & Chuck this is your wittle TX Sibbies & we have already all 3 of us had our surgeries & did just great & all healed up now.. We just know you two sibbies will do just fine.. Congrats on ManHood.. Bigg Waves & Huggss from us Sibbies in TX..

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just got the call from the vet. The boys are awake and doing fine. I told her to tell them I'd be there first thing in the morning to get them. She laughed at me but said she would tell them.

We all thank you for all the prayers and luvies. They are sending extra luvies and wavies to their TX siblings!!! :D :love:

[Anikaca77]

Awww Chip and Chunk are becoming big men now :) I'm glad everything went well.

Melissa

[cassiesmom]

Just got the call from the vet. The boys are awake and doing fine. :love:

Yay, Chuck and Chip! Meowmie, please give them each a kiss or 50 from me!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I"m so glad to hear that everything went well.:) I bet when you bring them home they'll act as if nothing has happened. Please give them some scritches and kisses for me.:)

[cassiesmom]

Meowmie, are the kittens coming home today? :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yes, the babies are home and into everything!!! :D
They about ate me alive at first, well, Chip did. He wants lots and lots of cuddles. Chuck was like, where's the food, water and potty, in that order.:D

They thank you all for the luvies and prayers and well wishes!!! :love::love::love:

I did get a couple of pics. They are blurry because they are boys on the go today. There is one of Winnie from last night too. :love:

I'm glad to hear that Chip & Chuck are now home and doing well.:) I'd love to have a bucketfull of Winnie.:)

[cassiesmom]

I'd love to have a bucketful of Winnie.:)


Me too! She is such a beautiful lady!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Me too! She is such a beautiful lady!

Beautiful, yes but lady, I'm not so sure about. She not only is hissing at the babies but smacks them now. She even smacks Angel since the babies came back from the vet. I think she was hoping they were gone for good and is mad because they are back. :rolleyes: :D

[cassiesmom]

Winnie! I wonder what's got you upset that you feel like giving a smack. Could it be that Chip and Chuck smell like the vet's office? But Angel wouldn't. Please try not to smack the little ones, please please. You can all get along.

Love and hugs,
Your admiring fan

Winnie! I wonder what's got you upset that you feel like giving a smack. Could it be that Chip and Chuck smell like the vet's office? But Angel wouldn't. Please try not to smack the little ones, please please. You can all get along.

I think Winnie is just cranky because I brought them back. She has been smacking everyone, even Chester. Ok, she does that sometimes anyway but not like she has today. She is currently sulking in her bucket. :rolleyes:

The babies finally got pooped out and are taking a nap. They ate like sailors on shore leave today. I keep telling the vet my cats don't like the food they serve there but she insisits on giving them that prescription diet stuff. :p :D :love:

[cassiesmom]

Meowmie, how is everyone getting along today? Hi, Chuck, Chip and Chester! Hi, Grandma, Angel and Winnie! (wavies and blowing you a kiss)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Meowmie, how is everyone getting along today? Hi, Chuck, Chip and Chester! Hi, Grandma, Angel and Winnie! (wavies and blowing you a kiss)

The kids are almost back to normal. Chip though, still doesn't want to let me out of his sight. He's under my desk by my foot right now. Chuck is snuggled up with, (are you sitting down?) Chester in their carrier in the kitchen. Chester went in to get some peace from cranky Winnie. Chuck invited himself in and Chester let him stay. I think Chester has pitty on them. hehe

Winnie still smacks and hisses at everyone but not as much today. She just sits in her bucket and glowers at everyone. Angel has made up with the babies and was seen playing with them this morning.

Both the babies still what lots of cuddles and crawl on my lap often. Not complaining about that at all!!! :D :love:

Grandma just wants to stay in the bedroom with the door shut. :love:

[lizbud]

Oh my, I am being a bad Auntie and just now checking in on C&C's big
snip.:o So happy to know all turned out well for the little guys.:) I guess
they have finally figured out that you weren't planning on leaving them
there permanently.:D

This picture of sulking Winnie gave me the best laugh I've had today.:D LOL.

Awww, how sweet! Hi, Grandma and hi, Chuck and Chip! *kisses* and *kisses* for Chester, Winnie and Angel

[momcat]

Chuck and Chip are just too darn cute! It's nice to see Grandma hanging out with the babies even if it was just a little while. They must feel pretty special now that they have their very own post.

It seems like you've got quite a houseful. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful fur-circus with us. (I mean that in a positive way) Please give plenty of scritchies, tummy rubs, and lovies to everyone from their fan in Trenton? :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

AWWW!!! Grandma sure is being sweet to them.:) Thanks for sharing these cute pictures with us.:)

[Abby&Buddy'sMom]

Oh my, just look how cute they all are !! Chip & Chuck each have such great big smiles on them... love it :) They are sure enjoying the attention from Grandma, and she seems to be enjoying their company too.:)

[katladyd]

I love Grandma, she has always been one of my favorite PT cats. It is so nice to see her being so sweet to the babies! Give all you kitties, but especially Granma, hugs and kissies from me!:love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi, kittens! What's happening at your house today? Is Angel playing with you? Is Winnie still in her bucket? Could you please have your meowmie give you some kisses and hugs for me?

:love:
your fan,
elyse

[momoffuzzyfaces]

All hugs, kissies and luvies delivered!!! They send some back for you too. Hope you don't mind kitty breath. ;) :love:

I found out how Chuck has been getting up into Winnie's bucket. He runs really fast, the jumps up and catches the edge of the cook stove with his front paws and pulls himself up. He misjudged this morning and grabbed the grate where the pans sit. It moved and scared him so he fell down. He's ok but maybe that will frighten him enough he will wait until he is bigger to try that trick. (or maybe not) :love:

[kuhio98]

This morning I put an empty paper towel roll around that cord and taped it on. So far so good.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm thinking maybe brushing liquid dish soap on the cords might work too. I use Dawn so it shouldn't hurt them if they get a taste. ;) :love:

Sorry I missed this thread.

What handsome boys! Still young enough for zoomies and mischief - I can see it in their eyes!:D

Hi boys! I hope the rest of the fur family love you too, if they can keep up! Angel must be an old 1 year old by now!;):D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Almost! Angel will be one year old on August 13th. That just happens to be a Friday the 13th too. Somehow, it seems fitting for the little stinker. :D :love:

[phesina]

Oh, my goodness.. just look at how handsome they are getting!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Chip & Chuck sure are very handsome boys and they're growing up so fast.:) I can't believe that soon Angel will be 1 year old. Where does the time go?:)

[cassiesmom]

They are getting bigger but definitely no less CUTE!!

[lizbud]

any day now.:) (or NOT) :D

Chip and Chuck seem to have charmed Winnie, Chester & even Grandma.
I'm so glad they have settled in so well.:)

Kisses for Chip, Chuck and Chester, birthday girl Angel, Winnie and Grandma!

[katladyd]

I agree with the comment about males and the remote. Your little guys are getting so handsome! I bet Chip looks like Tubster Panther when he grows up!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

The kids have been little monsters this morning. I was in here (the front room) when I heard several crashes and the sound of shattering glass.

They knocked my two plates and one bowl off the kitchen counter. The dishes were made of correlle ware but the bowl just shattered. They even broke a chunk out of a plastic saucer. If that wasn't bad enough, the boys were playing with the broken glass pieces. I had to shut them in their carrier while I cleaned it up. Even then, I missed a few pieces.

The boys found those. I looked down and there was Chuck trying to eat a piece of glass and Chip was batting a piece around on the floor. I swept the floor again and am hoping I finally got all of them. I've never seen a bowl shatter like that. There were no big pieces of it left at all. Luckily the plates didn't break. I was keeping them on the counter because I have to keep the cupboard doors tied shut. They can open the doors and throw the dishes out of them. :rolleyes:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

He has been acting a bit odd this week. Eating, drinking and potting well, but not much interest in playing. At first I thought it was just because it's been so awfully hot here. But this afternoon, I decided to take him in for a check up.

Poor baby's temp was 105.5. They tested him for FIV/FIP. Both tests came back negitive. Good news there.

They finally diagnosed him as having a fever of unknown origin and put him on antibiotics.

He is laying under the ceiling fan glowering at me right now. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Awww, Chip, sweetheart! I wonder why you have a fever? I hope you feel better very quickly! Gentle *kiss* for you and *kisses* for all the family too.

[lizbud]

Oh gosh, poor baby Chip.:( I hope you start to feel better ASAP.

[phesina]

Oh, poor little Chip! Here's hoping you are all better real soon.. in good form for big sister Angel Rose's birthday party!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Poor widdle Chip.:( I hope he'll feel better and get well soon. Was he the one that got sick a while back too or was that Chuck? If so then maybe his immune system is a bit weak. Maybe some Lysine powder could be added to his food. Ask your vet about it.

[Pinot's Mom]

Does Chip have any other symptoms (nose or eye discharge, anything in the ears)? That high of a fever is scary; please keep us updated! :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yes, that was Chip. That was one of the reasons the vet wanted to test him for FIP/FIV. I was so relieved that he is negitive for those.

I'm wondering if he maybe didn't get completly over the infection the first time, then we had him neutered which stressed his system again.

He has had no symptoms like runny eyes or sneezing or anything. He eats well and drinks a bit of water and all plumbing is working well. He just acted lethargic. With the heat we've been having, I just thought it was something like that for a while.

He seemed to feel a bit better this morning. He enjoyed some treats in honor of Angel's first birthday. He is napping behind my recliner right now. Chuck keeps wanting to wrestle with him. Chuck is in the kitchen right now.

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes for my boy. :love::love::love:

[Catty1]

Glad Chip has improved a bit. Keep it up, Chip! Glad you can enjoy Angel's 1st birthday.

I just CANNOT believe a year has gone by already!:eek::eek::eek:

[cassiesmom]

Chip, sweet boy, I'm glad you feel better today. (((HUGS)))

[Pinot's Mom]

Well I'm glad Chip is otherwise symptom free, and hope his fever has broken, poor baby! Come on, Chip, you have to get well for your sister's big birthday! :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chip is still not feeling well. This morning he would hardly eat. I called the vet and am waiting for them to pick him up to take in for another check up. Our bus doesn't run on the weekends. Thank God they will pick him up. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. :love:

[lizbud]

Chip has been on antibiotics and still isn't doing better? That does not
sound good.:( Must be a strong bug got hold of him.:( I'm glad to know
that your Vet can offer a ride in to check the little guy out. Prayers that
they know exactly what to do & make him better in no time. All paws crossed
here.

[Catty1]

Maybe he needs an x-ray? I wonder if some glass got into him from the other day. I sure as heck HOPE NOT! But maybe it's that or something else blocking his wee tummy.

Bless those vets for picking Chip up! Prayers for him to feel better soon!:love::love::love:

I just don't know. He doesn't act like he hurts any where. I gently felt on his tummy and it didn't bother him. He is on a different antibiotic this time. Maybe it's just not the right one. He started getting better a few hours after he took the other one. He's there now. They should be calling before noon. They close on noon on saturday. I hope he doesn't have to spend the weekend there. :(

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just got a call from the vets office. They want to keep him over the weekend. His temp is 105.2. Almost as high as it was Thursday when he went in. The vet tech is putting a stuffed animal in with him to keep him company.
I'll call Monday morning to see how he is doing. :(

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I hope that his temp will come down and that your vet will be able to find out what's going on with him and can treat him with the right meds. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

[momcat]

Hi there little Chip,
I'm so sorry to hear that you don't feel too good and you have to stay in the Whitecoat Hotel for a few days. Don't be scared sweetie, your vet needs to find out what's wrong so he can help you get better. I'm saying lots of prayers for you to get better and be back home with Meowmie and your fursibs very soon. Remember, the whitecoat is your friend!

[cassiesmom]

Hi, Chip and Chuck, cuties! How are you? Could you please have meowmie give you kisses from me? I bet you get kisses quite often :) Some for Winnie and Angel, Grandma and Chester, too. Happy Thursday!

I'm not sure Chuck would qualify as a tuxie. He has two white whiskers on the right side of his face, a tiny white spot under his bottom lip, white on his throat and chest and um, binkini area, and on his back toesies. :D

Chip is all black but he is trying to sprout a couple of white hairs on his chest. :D

All kissies and luvies for everyone have been delivered from everyone! :love::love::love:

Our weekend was sort of itchy. Seems our flea control med has not worked. Mommy has some Advantage on the way because our vet was out. Frontline was just not working for us. It should come tomorrow or Wednesday.

Meanwhile, poor Grandma has fleas the worst so Mommy gave her a bath the other night. It was the very first bath Grandma has ever had. At first she was scared but then sat there in the water like a queen in a bubble bath. Mommy used Dawn dish soap. It really kills fleas.

Yesterday mommy was vacuuming the bedroom. Grandma was on the bed and mommy was vacuuming the covers a bit. Since Grandma wasn't frightened, mommy tried vacuuming her too. Grandma loves it!!!
Mommy says every flea she can suck off is a good thing. :D

Mommy gave us all lots of kissies from you. Thank you so very much!

[katladyd]

So Grandma is brave and smart as well as being beautiful? I thought so. You go, Grandma!:love:

Awwww, Grandma! I am so sorry to hear that you have fleas. But I'm glad you enjoyed your b-a-t-h and the vacuum! I hope those pesky little critters are all gone very soon.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Awwww, Grandma! I am so sorry to hear that you have fleas. But I'm glad you enjoyed your b-a-t-h and the vacuum! I hope those pesky little critters are all gone very soon.

The flea situation is now under control. The Advantage came yesterday afternoon. I treated Grandma first then the rest of the gang. The fleas started dying almost as soon as it was put on them.

When I went in to check on Grandma a few hours after I had treated her, the bed sheet was covered in dead and dying fleas. I vacuumed them up and her too. At bedtime though, she gave me a bit of a fright. She seemed a bit disorented and did not want to lay down.

I thought it may be a reaction to the flea stuff so just kept an eye on her. She is fine today. Eating, drinking and laying on my bed like the queen of the house she is. No more scratching by her or any of the gang.

I'm glad I only used half a dose on them though.

The babies have been running through the house like loons all morning. They seem to be super charged!!! HELP ME!!!! :D :love:

They are all just fine. I was a bit concerned about Chip. He was having loose bowl movements for a while but since he is now off his antibiotic that has straightened up. He is his ornery self. He earned a time out last night when he knocked over my floor lamp. :rolleyes:

All hugs and snuggles and luvies delivered to the entire gang. They send lots of luvies to you too. :love::love::love:

[cassiesmom]

Angel and Chip and Chuck are grounded. :(
They knocked my floor lamp over the other night and opened two bags of kitty litter and threw it all over the kitchen. What a mess!!!

Hey, kids! That is not good! Please behave yourselves for meowmie!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I didn't even mention the frozen strawberry they stole and batted under my washing machine. No matther how much I fished, I couldn't find it so it is now rotting under there. :rolleyes: :love:

[Catty1]

MOFF, is there any update about that other momcat who had some siamese-looking babies?

I was wondering if the great people who helped transport the babies to Lvpets maybe were able to help out with her and the babies.

As to Chip and Chuck - just when you thought the flying zoomies were over....LOL. :):love:

The babies all disappeared one by one. They were all old enough to fend for them selves however. I'm hoping they followed some of the neighbor children off and found homes. I saw no signs of dogs around the times they disappeared.

The mommy cat still comes by from time to time for a meal. She is letting me closer to her but won't let me near enough to touch her.

I emailed the lady who helped get the babies to TX. She replied to my note that the babies got to TX safely but has not replied to any other emails I've sent. I feel she has gone way beyond helping me any way by doing what she did for Lilacs babies. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi, Chip and Chuck! How are you? Are you still grounded? Have you run any zoomies lately?

Could you please have meowmie give you, Angel and Winnie, Chester and Grandma some petting and hugs from me ... you are very special!

Yes, they are ungrounded, for now. They are working on getting grounded again though if they don't mend their ways! I've never seen such distructive little devils, um I mean playful little scamps. Yea, let's go with that. ;)

All hugs, pets and luvies have been delivered. :love:

up Winnie's habit of chewing on cords, have they?

Thankfully, Winnie seems to be the only cord chewer I have.

The "little scamps" are in a right snit with me right now. I ended their beach party fun!!!

I went to Walmart this morning and got a nice big bin to keep the bags of litter in. To compound my crime, it is bright PINK!!! :eek:
In spite of their best efforts it's remaining locked and the bags are safe.

Here are picks of my 3 guys. They say the girls get too much face time!!! ;)

They are getting so big!! Soon, they will be as big and handsome as Chester. Give Chester special loves from me. I had forgotten how beautiful his is!:love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi, guys! Kiss, kiss, kiss, kissie, kissie, kiss! Chester, big bro, what a handsome kitty you are! And widdle brothers, you sure are cute! Mmwah!

[lizbud]

I like the big litter bin even if it spoils C & C's fun opening the bags.:D


I don't think I've ever seen a full shot of Chester before. Handsome boy.:)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Once again, Chip and Chuck are in lock down in the kitchen. I guess it's really not thier fault. They were chasing each other from one end of the house to the other this morning. I was trying to get into the kitchen when they hit me from behind. Lucky for us all I was able to grab the kitchen door jamb and not fall.

The chase continued. I picked them off the curtains and blinds 4 times. Then they zoomed under my desk and disconnected my computer modem - twice!!! :eek:

That was the last straw. So in lock down they are. I am tempted to leave them there until they are a year old. I do realize they aren't completely at fault. We have a major change in the weather coming this afternoon, it's really really windy outside, plus there is a full moon. It's not their fault that nature makes them do these nawtee things, is it? :confused::love:

[smokey the elder]

Oh, no; they've got an attack of the zoomies!

[cassiesmom]

Hi, Chip and Chuck! How are you? Are you still zoomy? I am sure you're just as cute as ever! *kisses* to you and big brother Chester!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hi, Chip and Chuck! How are you? Are you still zoomy? I am sure you're just as cute as ever! *kisses* to you and big brother Chester!

They are fine but a bit miffed a me right now. The main water line to my house is broken so they are spending the afternoon in their carriers here in the front room. Don't want them freaking out or frighened by all the noise or running out the door when it's open.

Chester is hiding under the bed in the bedroom. Grandma is on the bed sleeping.

Winnie and Angel, surprisingly, are laying on their stand by the window watching the yard get dug up. They are keeping a close eye on the workers. :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I heard a loud noise in the kitchen this morning. When I investigated, one of my window blinds had the bottom bar, which is heavy thick plastic, snapped clear into. :eek: I can not imagine how Chip and Chuck manage that unless one was on each side and pulling at the same time. sigh :love:

[momcat]

Oh Chip and Chuck, what mischief you two manage to get yourselves into! How in the world did you manage to break the window blinds? Please behave yourselves, there's another Catmobile trip coming up in a few weeks and all of your kitty friends want to see you again. DO NOT do anything to get grounded again!

Sending lots of scritchies and lovies to all of your kitties :love: :love: :love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

Little rascals.:) I've always known that cats and window blinds don't mix well. I now have shades which are a bit better but the one in my bedroom is already torn a bit and it also has teeth marks in it. Alani & Blaze still aren't allowed in my bedroom or the other bedroom so when I do finally let them in my shades may not last long either.LOL;)

Chip and Chuck aren't allowed in my bedroom either. I don't need people peeking in at me when I'm in bed. :eek: Winnie isn't allowed in much either because I don't want her to chew my clock cord in to.

I had shades when I lived in my last home. They didn't fair well either. Luke and Chester tore them to pieces. One window I finally put a blanket up over the window so people couldn't see in. Those were the days. :D :love:

All lovies and snuggles have been delivered. :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

They are celebrating by being in lock down in the kitchen for jumping up on the curtains and window blinds this morning. :rolleyes:

Don't fret! They are up to their eyeballs in toys and treats. The big kids are in there playing with them. They will get paroled after lunch. :D :love:

HAPPY 6 MONTH B-DAY CHIP & CHUCK!!! Please stop driving your meowmie crazy.:)

[cassiesmom]

Chip about scared the socks off me a bit ago. When I came in from getting the mail, I couldn't find him. Then I heard a scratching at my front screen door. When I opened the door there he was squashed between the door and storm door. We were so lucky because the storm door has not been latching tightly because of the humidity we've been having here. I am so glad it didn't open and he get out side. :D :love:

Chip, you stinker! Between the doors is not a good place for a kitteh :rolleyes:!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chip, you stinker! Between the doors is not a good place for a kitteh :rolleyes:!

Chip has been in rare form lately. He tripped me the other day. While I was trying to keep from falling, I stepped on his toe. Poor baby, I broke his toenail. :( I'm just glad I didn't break his toe or my neck. :(

[cassiesmom]

Dear Chuck and Chip, how was your Halloween? How are you? Cute as ever if not more so, I'll bet! Kisses to you, Angel and Winnie, Chester and Grandma!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

They were in rare form on Halloween. They broke a lock on one of the kitchen windows and a ceramic vase. :( Luvies delievered even to the nawtee ones. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi again, Chip and Chuck! How are you? Settling down after Halloween? Could you please have your meowmie give you two, Winnie and Angel, and Grandma and Chester some petting from me?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

All pets and luvies delivered. They are all just finishing their supper. Chuck is going to be a big boy like Chester. I can't do new pics because my computer is so low on free space, I'm not sure how long I will be able to get on line even. I'm trying to free space up but it doesn't seem to be helping. Fingers crossed for us ok? :love:

[lizbud]

Sorry to hear about the computer problem.:(:( I was just wondering why
no new pictures of the growing babies. I'd sure like to see some.:)

Where are PT's computer nerds when you need them? Hey Blue... HELP.;)

[lizbud]

Any luck with fixing the computer problem of space? I hope you haven't
lost all connection yet.:(

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Any luck with fixing the computer problem of space? I hope you haven't
lost all connection yet.:(

It's just a matter of days it looks like. I'm down to 10% free space. I have moved and deleted hundres of pics and get some free space for about a day then it drops lower. Only thing I can think of is every time I delete something, it updates the recovery thing and stores them somewhere else on my hard drive.

I will be so lonesome without the Internet specially since I can't drive any more and the bus only runs 3 days a week. Maybe after I get the big plumbing bill paid off I can get a laptop or something. Keep us in your thoughts please? :love:

[Catty1]

MOFF please send me your email addy and I will send you a free program that cleans out the 'crap' files, along with instructions! That should help a lot.

I would love to remote in to your computer and work on it too...I did that for a PTr in Kentucky, and I am near Calgary Alberta!

[slick]

www.teamviewer.com (http://www.teamviewer.com)

This is what we use at work to remotely connect to another computer. It's free for home use. That might help you Catty until I can chime in and assist.

Momo, I have people arriving here very soon to have a bit to eat then we are heading out to the parade. I'll try and call you tomorrow - that is if Catty doesn't fix it before me. She's more technical than I am. I'm just an "app" girl

[lizbud]

I'm glad to see people are willing to help you out here.:) I am no help
at all with fixing computer problems.:confused: I did pm Blue about this.
He knows a lot about computers & maybe he can tell you something to
help with this too.:) Fingers crossed.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

A second cousin sent me the link to a clean up program called CCleaner. The only problem is I'm afraid to use it. I am so unknowlegable about computers I'd probably wipe out my entire drive. After deleteing another 64 pics I'm down to 7 % free space.

:(

:(

CCleaner is good. After you run it, look up and down the list of results so you don't delete anything you might want to keep (speaking from experience:eek:). You can select the ones CCleaner identifies as candidates for deletion that you don't want removed.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

The panic I was feeling over the posibility of not getting on line forced me to try the ccleaner. I now have 29% free space. I did have 30 but ran the defrag and it took 1%. Not surprising since the files were in bad shape.

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP AND ENCOURAGMENT!!!
I would be so lost without you all!!! :love::love:

[Catty1]

Try Disk Cleanup too! It's near where your Disk Defragmenter is located.

[blue]

Thanks Liz for the PM I would not have seen this otherwise. Did you PM Puck too? He is more used to remote administration then I am and being closer he might take less time.

MOFF, keep an eye tomorrow on the hard drive free space as this could be malware creating snapshots of your hard drive and storing them and eating up the free space. We saw this in the shop last month and without looking at your system I cant be of much help. If my buddy gets back to me on how he fixed it Ill chime in as fast as I can.

For now anytime you see a spike in hard drive usage run CCLeaner, and hopefully Catty can get into your system and find the problem.

Other info that can help Catty, Puck or myself would be, what anti virus are you using, are you using any malware scanners or spyware scanners? How long has this been happening? What programs have you installed before or since you noticed this problem?

How long has this been going on? I may be able to walk you through a system restore.

Im sorry you had to delete pics but I am betting the space is being eaten up else where.

Saving the worse for last, the program taking snapshots of your hard drive could also be sending them out to an unknown IP.

[Catty1]

There's also a Duplicate File Finder from Auslogics.

I was all set to remote in, but MOFF had freed up a lot of space with Ccleaner, and was happy with that for now.

But I WOULD like to know, as blue said, which anti-virus program you are using.

I'd still be happy to remote in and have a look around...you and I would be on chat so you and I would be able to communicate.

I call it 'the haunted computer' cause your cursor moves around the screen and it's not YOU using the mouse!

Again, I'd be happy to do a free inspection of your system...there might be something wacky there.

If nothing else, go to www.malwarebytes.com and download the free version. It heads straight for the nasties!;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thanks again everyone.

I use Norton for my virus prgram. It's suppose to check for all those scary malware and things.

My main problem is my Kodak easy share picture program I think. I had almost 3,000 pics on a 33GB hard drive. The problem started when I started taking lots of pics when Angel was born.

My bro got me an external hard drive over 900GB and I started moving pics to it (also making cd copies, just in case).

I had been told that pics take up lots of space so always kept an eye on my free space. When Chip and Chuck and their siblings were born, more pics.

So, I was moving pics and deleting them. Only thing, I think they weren't really being deleted. My cousin who sent me the link to the ccleaner, also listed everything I needed to check to have deleted. He also discribed what it did. I didn't know that deleting things from my recycle bin didn't really delete them.

Also, I had about 5 years of never cleaning cookies or temp files or any of that plus all the old updates that never deleted off. There were tons of java and flash files. I did about faint when I saw those deleting off because I use those a lot on playing games and stuff. All is working fine today. Still at 29% free.

My cousin suggests I run the ccleaner once a week.

My brother does have access to my computer so he got on and took a look see. We found where my Kodak program was stashing the original pics of ones I had enhanced. I got most of those off. I left some of the ones I might want to restore someday. There were over 2,000 of those.

Catty, I seem to have a bad habit of trying to grab the pointer when it moves on it's own. I had to finally put my hand behind my back while my bro was moving it around. :D

At least now I know who you all are who I can call on for help!!! :D
I do appreciate it more than you will ever know. :love::love:

[Randi]

Moff, when you save pictures, do you rezise them first? That would help regarding space, especially when you have lots. Also, when you save, save for web if possible, that will also help a bit. :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I didn't resize most of them. I just recently found my camera has an option to save them to a smaller size to save space and have been using that. :love:

[blue]

MOFF Im glad my worries about your system werent the problem. 5 years of not cleaning out a system and large image files can take up alot of space. I hope you now have the Defrag set to automatically run once a week.

Crap Cleaner FTW!!!

Norton isnt on my top list of Anti Virus but it seems its been working for you so stick with it.

Ill second running CCleaner once a week. Ild also run a weekly scan with Norton.

Glad things have worked out so far, and Im happy to help if you ever need it.

Ild still keep an eye on the hard drive free space for a few more days but it sounds like you got it handled.

[moosmom]

I also go into "run" and type in "cookies" then "OK". These are copies of ALL the temporary internet files you've gone into. Highlight them all EXCEPT for "index". That is NEVER to be touched!!! It helped me free up ALOT of disk space.

Like you MOFF, I also download pictures from Kodak Easyshare onto my desktop to post. Once they're posted where I want them, I delete them from my desktop. Saves ALOT of space!! And the pictures are still on my Kodak program without taking up alot of space. My computer is set to defrag every Wednesday in the middle of the night so my 'puter time isn't interrupted.

Give Chip and Chuck kisses from me and Butcie!! Those little devils MADE the trip to CT more memorable. And they are SO adorable!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

To give you all an idea of how full my hard drive is, when I do a complete system virus scan, it now takes 12 hours. I know because I did one of the 8th. It didn't take that long when I first got my computer but over the years (as the hard drive filled up) took longer and longer. :D

I have 27% free today but did delete 50 some pics yesterday. When I move them to my alternate drive, I have to go through outlook express to do it. That thing may be hiding them somewhere too.

I'm just going to move some pics today without deleting any and see what the free space does.

moosmon I'm sure the catmobile trip was more, um, adventurous with Chip and Chuck along. ;) Chip has a new talent now. He can jump from the floor into my freezer. My freezer is on top of the fridge at least 4 foot plus off the floor.

He surprised me my demonstrating his new talent when I opened the freezer door last night. I was sure surprised by that black kitty flying by my shoulder and landing on the frozen peas. :D
All kissies have been delivered. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi, Chip and Chuck and big sis Angel... how's things?

[rg_girlca]

Sorry I'm late on this, but congratulations on your 2 new additions. Chip & Chuck are absolutely A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!

I can't get over how grown up Angel is now. She is such a pretty girl.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hi, Chip and Chuck and big sis Angel... how's things?

Things are as usual. Good thing is my computer is holding at 24% free space since I stopped deleting pics. I'm still copying them on my alternat drive though. I haven't done the cclean thingy this week yet.

Don't know if it's the blue moon or the wind or the change in temps but the kitty natives have been really jazzed up today. :eek:

rg_girlca good to see you back on PT. The kits say thanks for the good wishes!!! :love:

[cassiesmom]

Happy 8-month birthday, Chuck and Chip!

How are you? How is big sis Angel? How are Winnie, Chester and Grandma? Could you please have meowmie give all of you some scritchies and hugs from me?

P.S., what are you hoping Santa Paws brings you for Christmas?

Your fan,
Elyse

[momoffuzzyfaces]

They are all doing well. Chuck is getting to be a big big boy. He looks a lot like Chester now. I sometimes call him Chunk. ;) Chip is still a terror, into and onto everything.
The others are all doing well too. All luvies and kisses delivered.
Their Chistsmas list was really short: toys, treats, toys. :D :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just an update on the kids:

Chip is still his ornery self. Today he's in lock down in the kitchen. I got a fright this morning. I had made a pot of tea and was washing some dishes while it steeped. The teapot was sitting on the enamal part of the cook stove.

When I turned around, I saw a trail of lots of red drips all over the washer and dripping down. Looked just like blood for a second. Then I realized it couldn't be because there was nothing around that could have harmed any of the cats. I followed the trail and found Chip hunkered over something on the floor.

The stinker had stolen my tea bag out of the teapot and was chewing on it. When I looked at the pot, the lid had been lifted just a bit and the teabag was gone. It was a fruit tea so that's why it was red. Chip is still in a snit because I took the tea bag away from him.

Chuck: has calmed down a lot and is allowed more free time with me in the rest of the house. He still does have his 'moments' of hysteria though.

Chester, Winnie, and Grandma are all being very very good. Miss Angel is being an Angel, well most of the time. She still sasses me from time to time.

I hope to post a few pics after Christmas but the old computer still not doing too good on free space so I'll just have to wait and see. They all send kisses and luvies to all. :love:

[momcat]

Hi MoFF,
Your telling about Chip and the tea bag had me laughing out loud. I do understand how you must have felt seeing the red drops on the counter. Glad to know that no kitties were injured.
Happy to hear that your fur crew is doing well and patiently waiting foor Santa Paws. Could I ask you to give each of them lots of lovies from me? :love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

Wow! What a scare.:eek: I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well.:) My two little boys are always getting into things too. There's never a dull moment with kittens around.;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I just have to tell on Chip. (again)
We were in the kitchen last night and he was jumping around and swatting at something. I couldn't see anything and none of the others were looking like they noticed anything. He just kept it up. Finally I grabbed him and noticed his eyes were crossed. There was a big dust fuzzy between his eyes. hahahahahaha
Silly boy!!! I took it off and he was a happy fellow.:D:love:

[phesina]

Oh, those stories are both so funny! Poor little Chip, so distressed about that annoying THING hiding between his eyes.. and the teabag tale is a RIOT!

What an adorable little stinker!

:love::love::love::love::love::love:

[cassiesmom]

Aww, Chip! You were trying to have fun with a tea bag and you gave your mum a scare. I'm glad it wasn't anything more than drops of tea. Merry Christmas, cutie!

[cassiesmom]

Dear Chip, Chuck and Angel Rose... I hope you are being very good for Santa Purrs! But I suspect he will leave pressies for you even if there have been less-than-good moments.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Dear Chip, Chuck and Angel Rose... I hope you are being very good for Santa Purrs! But I suspect he will leave pressies for you even if there have been less-than-good moments.

Well, they have had a few good moments so we are hoping those will count. Life is never dull with them for sure!!! They all send sweet kisses to you and yours and wish you all a Merry Christmas. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Hi MoFF, has Chip been behaving himself lately?


That depends on what you mean by behaving himself! :D He has been trying to jump up on one of the set of shelves in the kitchen that I have stuffed with things from other places that he is not to mess with. He thinks rules are fine for everyone but himself!!! ;)

Poor Chuck got a toe stuck in the bathroom door this morning. I've caught him playing with the hinges and the crack of the door when the door opens lots of times. Ive shooed him away and told him he would get his toe stuck one day. Well today was the day.

He wasn't near the door when I went in but when I opened the door to come out, I heard him yell. I shut the door fast because I was sure what happened.

He ran away from the door so when I got out, I tracked him down. It doesn't look like it was hurt too badly. No limping or swelling. I'll keep an eye on it to be sure he's ok. Of course, I did kiss his toesies to make it better. :love:



Hi, Chip and Chuck! You're going to be 10 months old next week! How are you?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hi, Chip and Chuck! You're going to be 10 months old next week! How are you?

Chuck has settled down into a BIG almost grown-up cat. He plays but is seldom wild like Chip. He is bigger than Chester now and still growing. I can hardly get my arms around him to pick him up. He loves being cuddled though so I manage. :D

Chip is still a holy terror. Nothing anywhere in the house is safe from him. He wants to see and do everything. He allows nothing to get in his way either. He loves cuddles too but is fidgety. When you pick him up, he wants down, when you put him down, he wants picked up. He wears me out and turns the house and my life upside down.

I can't imagine life without either of them now. :D

[GILL]

Hy Chip tell your mewme that this is the job you signed on for to keep her active.
I have Lucky that's the same way, now after almost 3 1/2 years he's getting a bit more snugly, but has not slowed down.

[phesina]

Oh, they are doing so well and so amazingly too, just like their little Southern Sibbies in Louisiana!

[cassiesmom]

Hello, Chip and Chuck! Happy 10-month-day! How are you?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hello, Chip and Chuck! Happy 10-month-day! How are you?

They have been being surprisingly good. They have been staying up all night helping Angel, Winnie, and Chester stalk a mousie that was dumb enough to get in the house. It hid out under the washer/dryer for about a week, then moved to under the fridge yesterday.

We had an adventure this morning. While changing the litter boxes no less. Chip and Chuck were in their cases because they 'help' too much, Chester was in the front room and grandma in the bedroom. Angel and Winnie were in the kitchen supervising me.

I had just swept the floor when I saw a movement under the fridge. Yep, the mousie. I thought he would go back under since I was there and making so much noise. Poor thing must have been starving because once his beady little eyes saw the cats bowl overflowing with crunchy food, he went for it.

Didn't get far when Winnie nabbed him. Now what was I to do? Didn't want her to eat him and Angel was wanting part of him too. So, I thought I'd take Winnie outside and maybe she would let him go. (that worked with Grandma once).

She dropped him before we got to the door. I was yelling and jumping around because I have sweat pants on and didn't want him coming up my leg. Angel and Winnie were trying to catch him.

As luck would have it, he ran smack into one of the litter boxes and stunned himself briefly. Then he ran into my dustpan. I have one that has a long handle and closes up for easy storage. It was full of dust fuzzies the the cats had been dragging out from under the fridge and washer and dryer in their quest for the mousie.

Poor thing was probably gasping for air by the time I got him outside. I just dumped him out. He was stunned but alive and covered with dust bunnies.

When I went back out to take the trash out, I peeked at where he was and he was no longer there. I hope he doesn't come back inside. I might not be able to save him next time. Of course, I praised Winnie and gave her lots of hugs for saving me from the ebil mousie.

[lvpets2002]

:eek: WoW what a morning.. Again you have made me Laugh My Butt Off at reading your morning adventures.. :p Never a dull momment at your house for sure..:D

[cassiesmom]

Excellent work, Winnie - and Angel too! You saved meowmie from teh ebil mousie! *kisses* and *kisses* *kisses* for Grandma, Chester, Chuck and Chip too.

[phesina]

Chip and Chuck.. 11 months old now! You are maturing (if that's the right word).. just like your sisters in Texas!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chip and Chuck.. 11 months old now! You are maturing (if that's the right word).. just like your sisters in Texas!

They may be getting older but the jury is still out about the maturing. :D
I plan on posting new pics of them next month on their birthday. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Dear Chip and Chuck,

How are you getting along with your new little brother Frankie? I understand from meowmie's posts that he can be a a bit of a scamp :) How are Angel and Winnie, and your best big brother Chester? How is Grandma --does she still keep to the bedroom?

Your admiring fan,
Elyse

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chip and Chuck and all the others are doing fine.

Frankie or Frankie-stein as they sometimes think of him, sure gives them a run for their money. He even chases Chip around and gives him a bit of his own medicine back. Chip has a tendency to be a bully and pick on the others.

It's so funny to watch Frankie get up on his toes and hunch his back then chase Chip for a change. Chip is not sure what to do about that.

Chuckie alerted me to a problem with my AC the other day. He started looking into the area where the filter is. It's behind a metal door that folds down so I can change the filter easily. He looked like a bird dog hitting on prey and would not stay away.

So, I opened that door and found water on the floor. I have central heat and AC. they are in the same unit. So, I called the repair guys.

The condensation drain pipe was plugged up. So they fixed that and while they were there, they found another problem that kept the air from going up the vents like it should. The air was just blowing into that little room where the system is instead of up the vents like it should. They fixed that too. Now we are way more comfortable. I wondered why it was so cold it the house last winter. Apparently that had needed fixing for a while.

Chuckie got a big hug and extra treat!!!

Grandma still hangs out in the bedroom most of the time. She has been seen sneaking out to play with that bug toy you can see in the pics under Frankie's thread. She loves it. It makes a squeak when she touches it. I'll sometimes see it fly through the air by the door when I'm in the bed room and she is here in the front room. When she sees me watching, she just walks away like she wasn't doing a thing.

Angel, even surpised me yesterday. She came up all on her own and allowed me to not only scratch her chin, but pet her for a bit!!! Miss "don't touch me" came to me. wow!!!

Winnie is a big love bug and love tummy rubs. Can't believe she was the 'cat from heck' before she moved in.

Chester has been playing fetch with me a lot lately.

They all say, Thanks for asking about them and send luvies to you and yours. :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[phesina]

Oh, aren't they all so good!!!!! Isn't that fantastic Chuckie figuring out the AC wasn't working right..

Lovies and pets and skritchies and treats to them all.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well.:) Chuck sure is a smart cat to alert you about your A/C like that.:)

[katladyd]

Every home needs a Chuck...and a Winnie, and a Grandma, and an Angel, and a Chester, and a Chip, and a Frankie! You just have a house full of love, don't you?:love:

[momcat]

Hi Chip and Chuck,
How are you fellas doing? Are you behaving yourselves and not making your Meowmie crazy? Chuck, you did a super job finding a problem with the air conditioner and letting your Meowmie know to call the repairman.

Please be good there, guys. There's a BIG BIG BIG Catmobile party coming up in September and we don't want you both to miss out because you're grounded again.

Please give your Meowmie some purrs and headbumpies from me? I hope to see you and your fursibs very soon.

Your friend,
Groucho
