Love those LOL Cats!

Whenever I need a lift, I’m sure to wander over to icanhascheezburger for some fun with LOL cats. How can you resist them?

Dress ur cat in gay apparel

This picture illustrates exactly why I don’t dress up Sumi for the holidays. I’m certain she would kill me in my sleep as punishment.

A great spring in DC

This is cherry blossom tree (American not Japanese) in my front yard which began to bloom yesterday. It’s been a great spring; cold and wet but lasting. Yesterday it was 76 degrees but today it’s 55 degrees. This lets the flowers last larger.

Even the cat is glad to be outside.

Cats and water.

Thanks to The Cat Blog . . . Pippy Style, I saw this great little video. I’ve seen cats drink from fountains and glasses but full imersion – never! I wish I knew how to embed this in the page but I don’t so click the link below and enjoy!

Just when you thought cats hated water

 

The Toyger!

I love my Sumi-e but if I didn’t have her, I’d want one of these. I’m not really into purebred cats but these are really special.

Halloween Cookies!

I haven’t made cut-out cookies in years but when I saw the bags and cutters at Target, I couldn’t resist. It took me half the day but they are delicious if a little sloppy looking. Besides, they look a little like Sumi! I’ll be giving these to my co-workers on Tuesday. I can’t be trusted to have these stay too long in my house.

Sumi-e the Cat is injured!

Sunday morning, Sumi-e was chased around the courtyard by the neighbor’s dog. She tried to climb a brick wall to escape to a window sill only to fall into a bush. She finally ran under a parked car and up into the engine area. After many minutes she came out and was limping badly and all of her claws were torn or missing.

We took her to the emergency animal hospital and the attending vet said that no bones were broken but she probably sprained the knee joint or, at worst, torn the ligament. We were given pain meds for 5 days and told to watch her for 3 days and if there was no improvement to take her to her usual doctor for a further exam.

Today, she’s markedly better and we think it’s just a sprain – whew!

She been avoiding us for the most part but yesterday she did come out to lay in a strong sunbeam. Weird thing is that she’s lying on the injured leg. Perhaps to protect it?
