A wee bit of "fluffy" gossip from Emily

 Ahem! Emily here near the end of the week interrupting her valuable beauty regime time (on the table no less) to dish out a bit of gossip fill everybody in on our feline news.   There is still snow on the ground...BUT...it has been milder and some of the white stuff is melting
 Then at night it freezes again but Mom says she can feel the change in the air.  
 We are all still waiting to hear about Oscar's test results.  It seems to be late coming in and it makes Mom antsy.  She was all fretful earlier this week because Oscar's back leg was really bothering him.  She gave him his pain meds and even put a heated pad on his back leg at 4 in the morning.  Don't tell Mom I told you but she can be a bit of a space cadet when she tries to do things during one of her sleepless nights.  We know she means well, though.
 Do you remember the tea she bought for her birthday?  Chapters had their Christmas tea on sale and she had a gift card....WELL...she discovered a new flavor that she likes and, here is the most important bit, she has given me a new nickname.   I am now sometimes called her "sweet ginger plum" after one of the nicest tea flavors.
I rather like that name it is certainly better than "fudgy nose" which I don't really approve of at all.  Hmmph....Here is the Winston kitty staring out the window.

 We are hearing a lot more birds now!  I think that is what Winston was doing here....though Mom has not yet seen a robin.  Mom says when she sees a robin that means spring is coming.
 See this photo of me...tee hee...more of me being bad!   I was trying to steal something from one of my Mom's guests.   Mom's guest has to swoop me up away from her plate.  I was foiled in my plan but don't worry I won't give up.  If any of you felines think that was bad wait till you see the next photo!   Are you ready?   *Can you see my naked tummy?*   I refused to let Mom brush me and I got a nasty matt in my tummy furs.  Mommy is trying to use psychology on me and patience but the vet had to shave my tummy fur.  Mom wants some helpful advice but I just want you to notice my velvety soft tum....

Purrs for a wonderful week and don't forget to give your felines a favorite treat.  They probably deserve at least two of their most favorite treats.

    1. Thank you Crafting Queen for visiting! Mom was sad about my fur...she had to make 4 appointments to see the vet before finally getting me. The first 2 appointments the vet had to cancel because of emergencies. By the time we finally got in the vet had to work in installments. I think my tummy feels like brushed velvet now but Mommy is trying to figure out ways to make me feel comfortable with tummy brushing. Purrs to you for a nice weekend!
      Emily.

  2. Ask your Mommy to get some mulberry tea. It smells yummy (well, I like the smell, not the tea), and Mommy claims it is very tasty.

  3. The only thing we might suggest is putting a few treats out where Emily sees them and giving them to her bit by bit as she cooperates! Yes, out and out bribery!

    Also, many pet groomers would shave her belly if it were needed in the future and that might be less expensive and more timely than taking her to the vet. :)

    Oscar, we have our paws crossed that your test results are good! :)

    1. Thanks, LP. I'm willing to try bribery if that might work!
      Oscar got his test results back yesterday and he has another urinary tract infection :( This is is the 2nd one in less than 6 months! He got a shot of antibiotics, fluids and cerenia yesterday at the vet's office. We will be making weekly treks there for the next bit.
      Take good care!

    You has a furry pretty tummy! We is all short hairs so mom bean doesn't have any suggestions.

    1. Hi Sasha, Sami & Saku,
      Oscar has another urinary tract infection =( So he is off to the vet for the next bit for weekly needles. Poor Oscar...maybe some potent kitty nip will help him.
      Thank you for admiring my sleek new tummy fur ...it's smooth and velvety!
      Purrs,
      Emily

  5. Miss Plum...we think you may just be one of those "shavers"...our Johnson is a pill about getting groomed and he gets shaved NEKKID yearly!

    Purrs for Oscar...

  6. Ugh, waiting for Oscar's test results will result in a bad mood for everybody! Hope the resulting results are negative or zero, or whatever means Oscar is okay!

  7. We hope Oscar's vet visits aren't too stressful for him or for his Mama. We are thinking of you both :) Kisses to Oscar.
