Super kitty!

Thankfully Syd's eye is starting to look better. Both this morning and this afternoon there was not much running out of it and it isn't as swollen or closed up :) Hopefully we have turned a corner! The antibiotics shot hopefully knocked it on the head before it got worse :)

Now onto to Bert the Superkitty, keeping the information super highway safe ;)

Pancakes, Cat Flu and Fricken Lasers

So poor Syd has cat flu again :( I came home from work and his eye was 1/2 closed and full of gunk. So I rang the vet who said to bring him down straight away. A shot of 14 day antibiotics, and a shot of antiinflammatories later, and he seems ok, except for the gunk coming out his eye. He has to have eye drops twice a day. Here's hoping it doesn't get worse and that no one else gets struck down (the boys had it not long before moving in with us.) The vet said it could be the stress of bringing the boys into the house or them bringing it back in again.

Last night, James had pancakes (after two successive blackouts!) and he always gives the last pancakes to the dogs. Now the cats get 1/4 pancake each. Though Oscar ate 1/2 on his own and Syd and Lexi weren't interested. Bert decided to play with his..


Speak of playing, even though Syd isn't feeling well, he was still up for a game of chase the laser!

Bedtime routine...

Some nights Bandit jumps straight into his crate, without issue. Other days, he would prefer to not get in, not that he doesn't like the crate, but he loves us more heheh

Case and point...
Me trying to get him to go to bed...



Some time later...
Me STILL trying to get him to go to bed (the cat bed doesn't count!)



Some time even later...
Success finally, and it only took bribing him with a lolly to get him in there!



Funnily enough he is more than happy in there and we haven't heard a peep since he went in, but still, he would prefer to have cuddles with us than go to bed!

Settling in ;)

Oscar has definitely warmed up and spent the afternoon going between James and I and finally settled on sleeping on my arm (while I was marking exams, one handed hehe)

Bert is very comfortable and sleeps on or next to my head or next each night. Though last night at one stage we had both Bert and Oscar under the covers between us, and Lexi was asleep on my legs ;)

I love my Daddy, but he's dirty!

Lexi loves her Daddy, but she isn't sure about his grooming habits.

She thought she'd help him out...

New cat tree, w00t!

I ordered a new cat tree on Sunday and it arrived today. Our old one had baldy patches LOL At least they used it! They also broke off the dangly ball bits from jumping on then hehehe

The new one seems much more sturdy and also has lots of places for them to scratch and we can replace the rope on the poles ;)

I also loved it because of the dangle mice and swinging rope! Also the many hidey holes ;) Plus it has the hammock and padded bed part.

Here they are enjoying the new tree tonight...

Bert seems to be enjoying it!

Also, James stole my cat already...

New additions...

We went for one... and basically got a 2 for one.

The foster carers REALLY didn't want them separated, so I kept them together and took them both.

So without further ado... introducing

Bert... a gorgeous little cuddle bug who has licked and rubbed on my lots already! He is now sitting on the bed.

Oscar... he is going to be a BIG boy. He is affectionate (he was already rubbing against me) but he is also a bit shy. He has been keeping to the bathroom (sitting on the sink playing in water LOL!)

and just to prove there is two, because they look the same... (I can only now tell them apart because of their eyebrows and Oscar is bigger!)

So far so good, Lexi is a bit put out, because she is a diva. Syd couldn't care less, he went and got into Elly's crate and is asleep. Here is how we are going (not too bad, they are in the same room and other than Lexi growling.) Bert is pretty gutsy LOL. No hissing or growling from Syd, or either of the boys, just from Lexi.)
