Wordy Wednesday

From 2 April to 2 May 2011, thousands of people up and down the UK will be celebrating life with their pets, spreading the word on responsible pet ownership or raising money for their favourite charity in fun-filled events. Why? Because it is National Pet Month!

Our lives have been enriched by our gorgeous girls, Nishiko and Xanthe, since they first arrived together into our home as 7 week old kittens back in July 2009... Here are parts of the very first videos we took of them. Nishiko was sound asleep in their bed while Xanthe was wide awake, keeping us up rather late that first evening with them...






To celebrate National Pet Month with me, why not use Wordy Wednesday for the next four weeks to tell everyone how your precious Kitizens, Woofies and other Furries have enriched your life?

If you would like to find out more about National Pet Month, please click the new banner above for more information.

Clowning Around?

This is a photo of Me, Mummy and Daddy from last week, when I had The Big Cone on the day before it came off. Mummy and Daddy were trying to cheer me up but as you can see I wasn't too impressed with Daddy's clowning around...

So when he left the bedroom, I decided to curl up on Mummy's back and listen while she was read 'Your Cat' Magazine to Me.

Nishiko

Movie Monday! Yay!

It's been a couple of weeks since we had a movie on the blog - due to our Ladygardenectomies, Mummy wanted to concentrate on getting us both better so that we could get blogging as soon as possible!

Good Patient, Bad Patient

Meow to All!

I'm back! Purrs...

Mummy and Daddy have done a very good job of being Mummy Nurse and Daddy Doctor. They have looked after me well despite Mummy worrying about me, Daddy was very patient. But they both thought that I was a worse Kitizen Patient than My Dear Xanthe... I wonder why?

I was very scared and didn't understand how the Garden Gnome could have left me with such a nasty looking scar and the V.E.T. is just a horrible place to go to and I had to go three times! Plus Xanthe was having a go at me for smelling really nasty. But I couldn't help it and I apologised to her that I had treated her in the same way when she had The Cone on.

 The Cone... What a nasty thing it is and I had three of them!

The Tiny Cone is the one that the V.E.T. put on me despite my fight for them not to. They told Mummy that as soon as I was awake I was messing around with my wound... It was horrible! They did not do a great job and it was all bumpy and very very sore!

The Cone - this is the one that Xanthe had when she came back from her Ladygardenectomy. It was just bearable but I got my mouth stuck under it one night when I was trying to clean my neck and Mummy had to help Me get it off. We were both in a panic about it but then...

The Large Cone was the final enemy! I could not get it off, I had more difficulty eating and drinking and so I spent most of the time cuddling up to Mummy and Daddy on the bed.

I am so happy that all of that is over now and I can be my self again.

Nishiko

Nishi has gone...

*evil laugh* Nishiko has gone to see the Garden Gnome today and when she comes back I shall hiss at her and call her smelly just like she did to Me last week! *evil laugh*

I've just got back from the V-E-T, my stitches are out and The Cone is off! I now need some Me time before Nishiko comes back this evening, to wash! Yes at last I can go though hair by hair, getting rid off all the dirt and smells that has built up over the last 10 days! I will be looking sparkling by the time Nishiko comes back tonight!

Nishiko wanted Me to say thank you to all kitizens, woofies and citizens who took part in Nishi's Big Red Nose Project, to help raise money for children with Malaria in Africa.

As promised yesterday  here is Me wearing my Big Red Nose!

And here is the Patchwork Blanket showing every furry who took part - sorry, it's not many!

You can still donate to Comic Relief by clicking our Big Red Nose Banner.

Cone Head Xanthe and Big Red Nose Update...

Meow to All!

I would like to thank everyone for their purrs and headbutts.

This time last week I had to visit the Garden Gnome at the V-E-T... I didn't see him as the V-E-T sent me to sleep and when I woke up all I had to show that the Garden Gnome had been was a very big bald patch on my side! It is going to be ages before my fur grows back... I'm quite upset.

As you can see in the photos above I am sleeping peacefully with my new and frustrating body part: The Cone. Mummy assures me that this won't stay and will be removed this friday when I have my last visit to the V-E-T about my ladygardenectomy... Well thank ducking goodness for that!...


Nishi's Big Red Nose Project isn't going very well and I feel quite sorry for her as she was looking forward to helping children fight the battle against Malaria - see >>HERE<< for her post. But Mummy sat us both down and told us about the shake and big wave that took place in Japan last week... Nishiko and Me are both so shocked and sad about all the kitizens and citizens who have had to go to The Bridge early. But we are happy that our kitizens in Japan, Maru and in Taiwan, Adan and Lego are all ok. It gives us hope and we are both sending our purrs and purrayers to all kitizens and citizens who are still affected by the shake and big wave.

Please come back tomorrow to see Me sporting my Big Red Nose in Nishi's last Big Red Nose Post! I will be posting it for her as she will be having her ladygardenectomy! I told her to keep an eye out for that Garden Gnome!

Xanthe

Nishi's Big Red Nose!

Meow to All!

My Dear Xanthe and Me are ok. Xanthe has had her ladygardenectomy and is recovering well - although she looks scary to me with her cone hat and has a big bald patch on one side of her body, she smells funny and is sleeping a lot more. Me on the other paw has a poorly belly and I have to see the V-E-T again on friday... If my tummy is better I will be looking like My Dear Xanthe for a while too! But the good thing is that while Mummy and Daddy are wating for my tummy to get better, they are feeding Me chicken that is very yummy!

...

I have been waiting for fellow kitizens to send me their photos for My Fundraising Project to raise money for Red Nose Day. But I have been able to snoopervise Mummy putting Big Red Noses on the photos because we haven't received any...

Mummy has even made a video to explain the importance of Red Nose Day...
 

If you would like a Big Red Nose, here is what you will need to do...

1. Click our big banner above and make a donation.
2. Send your photo to Me at kittyscatchat@gmail.com.
3. Mummy will make your picture under my snoopervision.
5. Your picture will then be posted on Kitty's Cat Chat on Friday.

I said to Mummy that we still only have 98 pictures to do before we meet our target for Red Nose Day! I hope a lot of you will want to help? Don't forget that on Friday a special Red Nose Day post will be showing all Kitizens and Woofies and any other Furries, who have taken part, in one big picture like a patchwork blanket. How cool is that?

Nishiko

N.B. from Kitty: All Red Nose pictures will be posted on Kitty's Cat Chat Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. For more information on Comic Relief please click the big banner above. We look forward to seeing you!

Sunday Special Post

Oh No!

We have just found out what Mummy got us yesterday before she went to see her Mummy and Grandparents!

It is not good either!

We're both going to the V-E-T on tuesday to have our lady gardens removed! We're going to have all our kitten plants taken out!

Mummy tried explaining it all to us but it was a little difficult to understand. Then she remembered seeing Harley post an explanation about it all on Daisy the Curly Cat.

Harley is a very intelligent kitizen! We read his post and was very surprised to learn about our gardens and kitten plants and the garden gnome!

We're just glad that we weill be asleep when it happens. But Mummy says that we won't be able to eat anything from tomorrow night!

No MEAT or FISH and no kitty bickies! When Mummy and Daddy are sleeping tomorrow night I'm going to wake them up with aa surprise!

Naughty Nishiko! You won't be able to wee on the bed because Mummy has already told me that she's locking us out because she thinks you will be planning something like that already!

Grrr!

I'm scared.

Me too.

But at least we will be together.

Xanthe and Nishiko

No Deals Today...

No deals from Me today. Mummy said that she is too busy to do them. I'm very upset. Mummy's getting better from feeling yucky everyday but it looks like Daddy is feeling like Mummy was. It is very unlike Daddy to feel yucky so My Dear Xanthe and Me are now looking after both of them! It doesn't bother Me too much because it means more time snuggling up to them both on the bed at night. Meow!

Mummy told Me that she is going out to get My Dear Xanthe and Me something today before she goes to visit her Mummy and Grandparents. I'm so excited! I wonder what it could be? A new toy?! I can't wait to find out.

Here are some photos of Me looking after Mummy.

I make Mummy smile and feel good when she feels yucky. I'm so cool!

Nishiko

The Fight Against The Germ Mans

My Dear Xanthe and Me were allowed in the bedroom again last night.

Mummy is still full of the yucky stuff.

Now Mummy told me that the Germs Mans could not be seen by human eyes or cat eyes, but she forgot about cat noses! I fought off those Terrible Germ Mans last night and Mummy was able to get it on film! Take a look at my fight witht he Germ Mans!


Nishiko

Wordy Wednesday

OMC! I love it when Mummy is poorly!

It's because I am allowed in the bedroom. I'm allowed on the bed. I'm allowed to fall asleep with Mummy, keeping her safe from the Germ Mans...

Here I am making sure that Mummy has enough water and tissues to fight them off...

Then I had to check the blanks for cold spots and warm them up for her...

Then I kept watch while Mummy was asleep. But I didn't see any Germ Mans...

Mummy said the the Germ Mans are very tiny and can't been seen by human eyes or cat eyes! She said I did a great job keeping her company though...

Nishi's Big Red Nose!

Meow to All!

I didn't get to do much snoopervision of Mummy this weekend. I only got one Woofie and one kitizen who wanted to take part in my Big Red Nose Project. Mummy said not to worry though because we have another three weeks to go. Purrs...

So here is my first Woofie supporter! Her name is Maisie and Ziya is my first kitizen. Their Mummy is Kaz...

If you would like a Big Red Nose and look funny like Maisie and Ziya, here is what you will need to do...

1. Click our big banner above and donate as little as £1.00/$2.00/€1.50.
2. Send your photo to Me at kittyscatchat@gmail.com.
3. Mummy will make your picture under my snoopervision.
5. Your picture will then be posted on Kitty's Cat Chat.

I said to Mummy that we only have 98 pictures to do before we meet our target for Red Nose Day! I hope a lot of you will want to wear a Red Nose? Don't forget that on Red Nose Day a special post will be showing all Kitizens and Woofies in one picture like a patchwork blanket. How cool is that?

Movie Monday

Meow to all! I want to say thank you to Fui, Suey and Lishi at Forever Foster for saying that my name is so pretty. Daddy chose it for me after he and Mummy met us where our birth Mummy lived! See >>HERE<< It is a Greek name meaning Yellow Haired. It refers to my glittered fur. Purrs...

Here is another movie of Me today! Mummy and Daddy play lots of chess in the evenings and I like playing it too! Knocking off the little black pieces off the table is great fun but I haven't come accross the prawn yet, nothing smells fishy about the game... My favourite piece is the little black horsey!


Xanthe

Nishi's Deals

Mummy still isn't feeling her best today but she's been out and about for a good time of today. Mummy and Daddy opened the window in our main room today, only a crack because they don't want My Dear Xanthe and Me to jump out. But it was enough to see clearly the fat birds in the tree opposite. It was so exciting!

This weeks deals will be featuring beds which I think look quite interesting and comfortable.

...

This is a must have, I do believe, I would like Mummy and Daddy to get this for Me so that I can sit on the top and tell My Dear Xanthe that I am Top Queen! MOL!

Now I think most Mummys and Daddys would like this bed for us kitizens. Daddy doesn't like it when I curl up on his computer especially if he is watching a Movie with Mummy. But if he gets me this box which fits on the side of the desk, I might be persuaded to lie there instead?

Now I know these meece aren't for sleeping on but I wouldn't mind kicking them around the floor before carrying them over to my bed to cuddle up to them while I rest. What do you think?

Just click the photos of the things you like the look of and it will take you straight to the product's page - Mummy is so clever like that!

Now don't forget My Big Red Nose Project. I'm not going to be able to snoopervise Mummy much if no one wants a Big Red Nose like mine...

Nishiko

It's just Me today...

Mummy hasn't been feeling well these last couple of days. She has had a couple of really bad headaches and her voice isn't as loud as it usually is.

Of course this means that she can't help Me with My Eventful Friday post but I am sure that she will try to make up for it when she is feeling better... I hope!

I slept in Daddy's and Mummy's bed last night. I like cuddling up with them both and listening to Daddy read to Mummy and Me... But I do feel sorry for Daddy. I don't know how he sleeps well as Mummy is louder when she sleeps than when she is awake, although she will deny it if you tell her. MOL!

I am going to post you two photos of Me. I'm resting with the Big Red Monster Ball! He doesn't bother my nap time, I think he has been guarding Me while I close my eyes, but I've told him that he doesn't have to because I'm always alert!

Hello to everybody and everycat!

The Girls and I have decided to raise money for Red Nose Day/Comic Relief this year and as you have already heard from Nishiko, I will be putting Red Noses on all Cats and Dogs who would like to take part, under her snoopervision. That is Nishiko's Red Nose Day Project this year - Nishi's Big Red Nose! I'll let Xanthe introduce her Red Nose Project in tomorrow's post.

For those of you who are not aware what Red Nose Day/Comic Relief is all about, here is a quick introduction...

The first ever Red Nose Day was held in 1988 - I remember buying my first red nose with my pocket money! Comic Relief raised £15 million, which all went to helping those less fortunate than ourselves. Every year people around the UK have raise more and more, helping 25 countries across Africa and those struggling in the UK.

Red Nose Day is on Friday 18th March, this year. It's a great day when everyone gets together to do something funny for money and change countless lives in the process. From restoring the sight of children in Africa to giving isolated older people in the UK the support they need to enjoy their lives – this fundraising event is very important. You can now donate money from Europe as well as America.

So if you would like to help Nishiko and Xanthe with their projects, please click the big Red Nose Day Banner above to donate online!

Thank you

Nishi's Big Red Nose!

Meow to All! Mummy and Me have come up with a great idea for raising money for Red Nose Day/Comic Relief!

Mummy, under my snoopervision, will design a picture of all kitizens and woofies with Big Red Noses. I have got one already... Here it is!

Don't I look funny?

If you would like a Big Red Nose and look funny like Me, here is what you will need to do...

1. Click our big banner above and donate as little as £1.00/$2.00/€1.50.
2. Send your photo to Me at kittyscatchat@gmail.com.
3. Mummy will make your picture under my snoopervision.
5. Your picture will then be posted on Kitty's Cat Chat.

I said to Mummy that it would be cool if she could do 100 pictures before Red Nose Day, that is on March 15th. She said that that would depend on how many Kitizens and their Mummys and Daddys would like to help us with our fundraising project. I hope a lot of you will want to wear a Red Nose just like Me! On Red Nose Day a special post will be showing all Kitizens and Woofies in one picture like a patchwork blanket. How cool is that?

Nishiko

N.B. from Kitty: Gosh Nishiko sure likes me to keep busy but at least it is for a good cause! All Red Nose pictures will be posted on Kitty's Cat Chat every Tuesday from now until March 15th. Red Nose Day is on March 18th. For more information on Comic Relief please read my Wordy Wednesday post tomorrow, which will explain all.
