It is NOT love at first sight!

Lehana went to the shelter today and met 2 guys. She seemed to like the younger one a little better than the older one, however we're giving the senior guy first chance to bond because of the fact that he's so old. He just got neutered recently so he's still wayyyy too frisky for Lehana's tastes...we're hoping he'll settle down after a while and be content to just cuddle...if ya know what I mean!

The other handsome guy is only 2 years old but he had much better manners. If we can't make it work with this guy...we'll probably give him a try even though there's a huge age difference. Right now, Lehana isn't too happy that there's a strange man living in the other half of her pen that she is now locked out of.

Ain't love grand?

Success!!!

Lehana did GREAT during her surgery. Dr. Taylor was able to file off all the nasty points on her teeth and Lehana's bladder relaxed while she was sedated and alot of the icky sludge came out on its own. She's still on antibiotics for a week, but she's already eating harder foods like hay and carrots. Looks like she'll be going on a date with that sexy older man after all!

PS...special thanks to Dr. Taylor at Caputo Animal Hospital for taking such fabulous care of my friend!

We need paws crossed!

Remember when I lived in the basement and I had bunny neighbors, Lehana and Alvin? Well, I'm sure you remember that Alvin passed away over the summer, so Lehana has been living alone all the time. Mommy has put the word out to her bunny rescue friends that she's looking for a nice, older gentleman for Lehana. About 2 weeks ago someone turned in a sexy 8 yr old male so Lehana was supposed to have a date with him this week. Sadly, Lehana has become ill and stopped eating. Mommy took her to the vet last Wednesday and since then she's been getting sub-Q fluids and being force fed. She has 2 problems...the obvious one is points on her teeth and she'll have to be sedated so those can be filed off. They make it painful to eat so she's only eating her soft veggies. When she was X-rayed...a second problem showed up. She's got a bladder full of sludge and crystals, similar to what a cat gets. All the extra fluids are supposed to be flushing her bladder out, but it's not a guaranteed fix and will be a big problem in the future if we can't clean out her bladder.

Lehana goes to the vet tomorrow for her surgery. The vet will file her teeth and hopefully have some success at flushing out her bladder while she's knocked out. We are all hoping it works, because Lehana needs a husbun! It's taken a long time for an older bunny to become available...and since Lehana is a bunny, and not a cougar, that's important! tee hee

The fat man was here!

Santa found our house! I'm perplexed about my gifts, tho. I got a Barbie Dream House. Sure...it's nice, but even with all my weight loss I still can't fit my butt on the little sofa in there...so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to play with it. I also got an Easy Bake Oven...which doesn't help me much cuz I don't know how to cook and I didn't get any tiny oven mitts to wear when I'm using it.

Ok...Ok...so you're not falling for any of that. Truth is...I got a yummy can of food for breakfast instead of the usual diet kibble, and a really cool catnip toy that so far everyone in the house has played with except for me. I got a Christmas smooch from Mommy and I think later I will get some lap time during a movie.

Hope Santa was good to all of you!

Love, Kinzi

Snug as a bug in a rug!

Honey's back. Her mommy went into the hospital so we are baby-sitting for a while. Everything is going fine (except for all the snoring!) and we finally convinced Honey that Santa would know she's with us and bring her presents here. I'm glad about that cuz that improves my odds for actually getting something!

Kinzi

Finally...back on the computer!

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been very busy around here. Ya see...there are lots of presents under the tree and I've taken it upon myself to protect them all from the pesky beagles. They like to tear into them to see if there might be dog toys in there. I've also been checking all the gift tags on them and I'm a little worried...none of them are for me!

I know I've been kinda bad. I keep getting on the island in the kitchen and stealing nibbles of food from Sunny. I get yelled at that I'm breaking my diet...but I bet if I was on the biggest loser I'd get extra credit for managing to get my fat @ss up onto the Island in the first place! I don't think that should be a reason for me to not get any presents!

Mommy says I don't need any presents because I already have the world's best bowl collection...and that I don't need a new kitty bed because I spend all day sleeping on the sofa anyway. That's a rip off if I ever heard one! She promised me a new bed of my own as soon as I stopped pooping on my blankie. Now that I've done that, I still don't have a new bed. It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinzi

Does honesty count for anything??

Love,

Kinzi

ART! ...ala Kinzi!

Just look at these fancy new socks that Mommy's friend, Rhonda, got for her! They have ME on them! It looks just like me.....from my chubby cheeks right down to my green, googly eyes! It will look even more like me after Mommy wears them around the house and they get covered with actual cat hair. tee hee.

Kinzi

Oh no...Now for sure Santa isn't stopping here...

I got busted today eating Sunny's breakfast. I climbed on the cat tree, jumped to the kitchen table, and then jumped to the island. I thought I could get away with it cuz Mommy was in the shower...but I got so involved with inhaling all the food I didn't even notice when she took this picture! I know all of you are cheering and saying how great it is that I'm able to even do that...but Mommy is NOT happy! She claims it's already hard enough to keep my food separate from all the other cats so I don't eat too much, but if I get so mobile that I can climb anywhere, she won't be able to easily feed the other cats. She said maybe Santa can pick me up Christmas eve and drop me at a new house somewhere...but let's face it, with all the swearing Mommy does watching football plus me climbing on the kitchen island and then Buddy chasing Jillian around...I really think it's a done deal that he isn't stopping here.
