Tuesday, February 24. 2009Sebastian, the interloper!So my W was on the way back from a wedding when she decided to run into a curb and explode both tires on one side of the car. Way to go W. :P Well while she was waiting for a tow truck this cat decided to come up and get in the car it seems. I'm not sure how much of this is "got in the car" or "was shoved in the car" but either way he came home with her. Well at first I was like "hell no, we aren't taken in no more kitties!" so we went to take him to the SPCA but they only take pets that belong to you for more than 30 days. Doh! So I decided we'd get him fixed then let him go, well in that timeframe my mother decided she wanted him. Hurray! So she took him home and he was a total terror. Doh! So she brought him back but by then we had gotten attached to the little imp and so had Sokar. When he's around Sokar he stays busy and doesn't seem to be a terror at our house. The two of them are best of buds! Here's the little imp on the porch after he first came home.
Hey wait that's Sokar's box!!!
Sebastian just loves to get into EVERYTHING. . .
Monday, February 23. 2009Sokar!!!Well, Jen decided for her birthday this last year she wanted a new kitty. It had been several months since Christopher had passed away and who doesn't love kittens? Communist, duh. So we went to the local SPCA and spent a good hour molesting cats and kittens. In the end we came down to choosing between a super-hyper kitten name Voltron and an un-named 8-week old kitten. I felt the other one was just too hyper so the younger one won out and we adopted him. After his naughty bits were removed we came and picked him up and brought him home and named him Sokar. Here's his awesome cuteness the night we brought him home.
He's been such a wonderful cute little kitten. He liked to suckle on your skin or clothes for about the first month. Here he is snoozing on the sofa with Pi.
Sokar has been such a big helper!!! Here he is helping mom unpack the groceries from the store.
This is one of the cutest things that Sokar does. He has a little box with some brown paper in it that he loves to curl up in and fall asleep.
Monday, February 23. 2009The loss of a childOur cats are our children. Back in August of 2008 one of our younger ones (Christopher) began to dramatically loose weight. We brought him in to discover he had terminal kidney failure. :( We ended up giving him fluid shots every other day for a while, he fussed about it but things seemed to get better for a while and he was happy again. However one day some of his ribs broke somehow, probably from the lack of nutrients in his bones. This put him back into a downward spiral of pain and general miserable life for him. At this point we finally decided to have him put to sleep. I was not expecting how sad and depressing this moment was going to be, it didn't help that he was so young at just having turned 4 years old in July. We miss you Chris!
