Tuxie Toes Tuesday with Cousin Trooper

I'm trying to snooze here.....sheesh....what's the fixation with my toes?  Oh yeah....they are super cute!!

I wanted to update you on my Mom.  She's not doing very well at all.  There is a hospital bed here now and she's sleeping most of the time.  I try to stay as close to her as I can.  I'm afraid she's going to be leaving me soon and that makes me sad.  Please keep purring and praying for her.

This post was pre-done over the weekend.  My heart is hurting because my Mom went to the human Bridge yesterday at 2:05.  I will miss her very much.  The Furkids Mom let me see her and told me that everything would be okay.  Thank you all for your purrs and prayers over these last months.  My Mom would always smile when the Furkids Mom would show her your comments.  The Furkids Mom is hurting a lot now too, she was friends with my Mom for over 20 years.

Isn't this a beautiful graphic that Ann from Zoolatry made?  My Mom was so happy when she got to meet Ann and Maggy and Zoey.

I'll be okay.....I actually have a new, very wonderful home with a good friend of my Mom's and will be an only cat.  I was going to go with the Furkids but this is even better.

The Furkids wanted to let you know that their Mom knew things were happening fast and pre-planned lots of blog posts.  They may not visit a lot in the next few days, but they thank you all for your support.

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper and friend

Hi furiends, Cousin Trooper here.  I hope you all had a good holiday.  I've been busy taking care of my Mom but I appreciate all the purrs and prayers you've been sending her.  I know they are helping.

Remember last year when my Mom and I had a visitor named Sparky?  You can see that visit HERE.

Well, Sparky and his family came back to visit again this year!!  Here are a couple of (very dark) photos of him from this year.

Look at his ManCatly whiskers!!

He's a real cutie!

He has a very ManCatly walk....can you tell he's getting tired of the flashy box??

Sparky agreed to a couple of poses so you could see his beautiful Tabby markings.  If he had a blog, he could join the Tabby Cat Club!!

Hmmm...we think he's had enough!!

We hope you enjoyed seeing Sparky again!!

How do you like our new header!  Ann from Zoolatry designed it for us.  Since Tamir went to the Bridge and Raz came to live with us, we've had to re-do all of our headers!

ManCat Monday Halloween style with Cousin Trooper

Peek-a-boo....do you see me?   I think I make a good Pumpkin don't you?

As you know, it's Monday and that means purrs and prayers for my Mom again.  She had a transfusion on Tuesday and we hope the Chemo from Monday didn't make her new bloods bad again.  She has a doctor appointment today and he will be setting up a CAT scan to see how the chemo is working.  She's made it half way through chemo!

IMPORTANT:  Our pal Squashies needs help.

Urgent Request!

If your cat has been blood typed, and is Type B (Rare but prevalent in Asian breeds,) we need your help.  Squashies is in desperate need of a transfusion. We can't find a Type B donor.

We will pay all expenses to bring the cat and you here to Baltimore.  With a very generous bonus for your time and discomfort. Call Dee @ 443-527-9226.

Our little girl is running out of options.
Thank you!

If you can help, please contact them.

Hi effuryone...Cousin Trooper here.

I'm giving you one of my super cute looks because I have a favor to ask.  My Mom goes for her labwork/doctor visit today.  She's had a really hard week since the chemo treatment last Monday and I'm asking for purrs and prayers for  a good blood count and for the bad pains to go away.

Am I cute enough??

Tuxie Tummy with Cousin Trooper

Tuxie Tuesday with Cousin Trooper plus a tasty review

Am I a cute Tuxie ManCat or what????

A few weeks ago Mr. Chewy contacted us about doing a review of Orijen food.  We were glad to do the review and they shipped us a bag of Orijen 6 Fish Dry Dog Food.  Since Cubby and Clifford have been having some dry skin issues, Mom thought this might be the perfect time to try a new food!  If you click on the Orijen link, you can read more about this food.  We've already told you how great Mr Chewy is.  Their shipping is super fast and the product line is high quality and extensive.  When we're ready for our next bag of food, Mom is going to use the auto-ship feature too.

Here's a slideshow of their review.  

Thanks for the opportunity to review this new food Mr. Chewy!  We'll report back in a few weeks to tell how our skin issues are doing.  As we told you in the slideshow, we did not get paid for this review.  We did get a nice bag of Orijen to try!

Slurp, slurp....nom....nom....nom.....

Oh Hi there!  I didn't see you at first 'cause I was helping myself to my dinner.   I'm subbing for Tamir today because he's still tired after his HUGE surprise 15th birthday party !!

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going back to my chow before Mom notices me....

Have a great ManCat Monday!

Cousin Trooper doesn't let Monday bother him.  He just stretches out and naps until it's over!

Cousin Trooper says the HOTS are making him melt.  Add Monday to that and he plans to just hang around in the A/C!

UPDATE!
Wow!  We woke up this morning to see that the Zoolatry Human had completed our blog makeover!!!  Isn't it SUPER?   We're thrilled!  Many thanks to Ann for her patience and help!! We hope our blog loads faster for our friends too!!




Cousin Trooper loved his Christmas bed so much that Auntie El leaves it out all year.
Isn't Cousin Trooper a big boy? He barely fits in that bed!!!

Toys Tuesday with Cousin Trooper

Hi Furiends! Cousin Trooper here. The Florida Furkids won a gift certificate to Nip and Bones a few weeks ago. They were nice enough to share with me! Here are two cool catnip hearts that they brought to me so I could choose my favorite. (Ignore my old, worn out teaser....Mom needs to find a new one for me).
I picked the multi-colored cat print one and gave the red one to the Furkids!
Thanks to our pal Baby Patches from Nip and Bones for having this cool give away and to my Furkid cousins for sharing!!

If you can spare some purrs for my Mom today I would appreciate it. Her bloods are finally good and she's having her 4th Chemo treatment today. Thanks, Cousin Trooper.
