BOO BOO

Hi Suzanne,

We hope everything is going well for you.  Boo-Boo is being VERY spoiled and loving it!  He is just the sweetest, most cuddly cat ever.  He loves to sleep on a special crocheted pillow that my Mom made for me (think Prince and the Pea) and he loves to give head butts to everyone in the early hours of the morning.  What a little love bug, he is!

 

From last week, here's a picture of Boo-Boo and his big bro, Beau-Beau (not fighting for once)!

 

Have a great holiday weekend!

Mary and Sue



Thanks so much!

 

Our vet at Blue Sky Animal Clinic posted a photo of Boo-Boo on Facebook!  Our vet and all the techs just oooh'ed and aaaahh'ed Boo, he is so adorable!  They wouldn't let us take him home until all the staff and lab techs got a chance to cuddle him!

 

Boo is becoming acclimated to the household...both dogs leave him alone (they are very friendly and adore cats, but they know that Boo needs his space right now). Our other kitten, Beau (the Siberian) chases Boo all the time and they get into wrestling matches a lot.  Beau doesn't hurt Boo, but we just wish he would leave Boo alone!  I think time will help out with their relationship.....they sleep on the same bed (mine) - about 3 feet apart and drink water out of the same bowl at the same time, so we don't think they are too far from becoming BFFs.  We know that Beau, at 8 lbs could really hurt Boo, but Boo seems to go after Beau a good many times too.  I guess they're just trying to figure out who is top cat! 

 

Boo keeps us laughing with all his antics and his personality!  He's a real treasure.

 

We'll send more pictures soon.

Boo-Boo





Having a Boo-nap on mama's pillows!






Yes, I forgot to mention that the paperwork arrived yesterday afternoon.  Boo-boo's pedigree is very impressive - we were amazed at all the titles!

We have made an appointment with our vet for Friday to introduce our newest family member to our vets (and visa versa).



Hi Suzanne,

The first night passed with no problems!  Boo-boo is just the sweetest, most curious little guy.  He's not afraid of anything (the floor length mirror has provided some entertaining reactions).  Sue kept Boo-boo in her room last night and this morning we have introduced our older dog, Teddie (7 years and VERY gentle) to him.  Boo-boo wasn't too impressed and ignored Teddie for the most part.....too many other things to explore.  Later on this morning, I'll introduce Boo-boo to our other dog, Tommie (2 years and more excitable) and after that we'll see how our cat, Beau takes to Boo-boo.

 

Boo-boo ate well last night (wet and dry), played with some toys, purred a lot, head-butted our faces, rubbed his body all over our legs, used the cat box with no problems and seems to be enjoying being the intrepid explorer!  He oozes charm......what a little lady-killer he is!

 

We'll send photos soon.

 

Thanks!

Mary and Sue


WEASELS STILL RULE
GREMLIN, POOF AND JELLY

Hi, Suzanne,

  We're still under siege by gray furry things. Just got Jelly back from 4 days at the vet. She gave her hyperthyroid disease. <G>. I just LOVE giving pills to cats....Once the dosage is set for sure I hope to go trans-dermal. Gremlin is still a loner, but she has quit ( 99% ) climbing legs. She now sits at your feet under the table and only occasionally sticks a 1" claw in your knee. She ate a 1" piece of dill pickle that fell off my burger the other day.

  Poof, Poof, Poof-- if she wasn't so damned pretty, I'd kick her out. She still makes life miserable for Jelly. Tackles her like football player or won't let her eat unless we interfere. She will come by and rub all over you--sleeps all night on Laura's feet or against her hip--talks and purrs all the time. Neither one is a lap-cat or likes to be held. They both love to play with water--even in their bowl. Gremmie even climbs thru the shower curtain if you don't shut her out of the room.I believe we got in on the cats just in time. Your site shows slim pickings and a lot of pre-sold Kits. Just lucky, I guess. I finally let them down in the basement and they usually bring up a mouse to play with until I get rid of it. Later--Marion and Laura

 


BUFF






























BEATRICE

Suzanne,

John and I just wanted to update you on how our new kitten is doing!  We named her Beatrice J 

She is settling in, and seems really happy and comfortable with us.  She likes to eat….A LOT, and likes to play with the feathers and mice you sent with her. 

 

She is super funny and runs and plays, but also likes to sit in our lap and relax.  She was really talkative the first week or so, but has gotten pretty quiet now most of the time.  We can’t thank you enough for this wonderful addition to our household.  I have attached a couple of pics of her J

 Thanks again!

LITTLE MISS MAGGIE

 

Suzanne,
Here's the birthday girl.
She is rather tiny comparing to our sumo wrestler. 
Personalities are different like day and night. Winston is the text book BSH cat and 
Maggie, well, she's something else. They wouldn't know what to do w/out one another.
Maggie is encouraging Winston to run off the extra pounds, but he prefers to
wrestle those off. Quite often we see Maggie holding Winston in a headlock.
She is very good climber and she can jump much higher than Winston.
When people come over, Winston comes and greets everyone and Maggie runs to hide.
Winston loves dogs and Maggie goes to hide.
(No one has been mean to little miss Maggie and no dog has chased her. )
Maggie spends most of her time on her back wanting belly rubs. Winston prefers
neck rubs.
Maggie likes to sit on your lap or been pick up. Winston is on the ground kinda cat.
I spend quite a bit time in the kitchen and I have both of them keeping me company.
Maggie, because she might be able to get something extra to eat and Winston just likes to hang out.

 

Maggie eats pretty much everything; dog food, people food, bunny food. Lately she hasn't been 
stealing George's carrots, thank goodness.

 
Hope all well w/you and your family.
Cheers, Tarja.

SUZIE

Hi Suzanne,

Just an update on Suzie - she's LOTS of fun and runs through the house at break neck speed! What a joy she is. She adjusted so quickly. Her favorite toy is the little green and white mouse you sent home with her. It's small and light enough that she can bat it around for hours as well as carry it in her mouth. She's so entertaining with it, leaping at it, rolling around on the floor with it, and kicking it with her hind legs. And I think she has grown a little bit - she's certainly a good eater, but we won't let her get overweight. She expends so much energy running and exercising, I see why she has a good appetite.

Thanks for all the good stuff you sent back with us!

Bonnie


BENE

 

He finally climbed! It was an accident but he climbed!! He was chasing Cluseau full tilt when C. took off up the scratching post. Bene got halfway up when he realized what happened. He looked at me like HELP! and was stuck. Cluseau bapped him on the head and up he went to the top. I'm so proud of my little tiger. Of course that was his first time on the scratching post too. He uses my feet as his scratching post and does not differentiate between shoes or no shoes. Next goal Mt.Everest.
Man is he ever a hand full!!
Barb et al

SUZIE

Suzanne,

I hope Bonnie has told you how happy Suzie has made us.  We didn't know we were getting a lap kitty, but that is what Suzie has become.  She has warmed up to us and takes her afternoon nap in my lap when I take mine.  Knowing that British Shorthairs like their territory, this has been such a wonderful bonus.  You should see our Facebook friends comments. 

 

 If you happen to be on facebook, please friend us so that you can see Suzie's album.  We also have Sophie's album, and it's worth a look, too.  I will continue adding to Suzie's album as time goes on, but I'm enclosing a couple of photos that I have taken, including the one in which we had our first meeting in Russellville.

Thanks again for meeting us in Russellville, as the drive going and coming was quite stressful because of the weather.  Suzie was completely oblivious to the weather on our drive back, but we were aged by about ten years and had to pull over in Memphis because of the wind and rain. 

Thanks again for providing us with such a joyful experience with Suzie.  Her personality is so affectionate, and we know that you did much to socialize her so that she could become such a wonderful companion.

B. C. & Bonnie


VICTORIA AND NATALIE

Hi    I thought I would sit done and send you an up-date. I was just curious are you a small or large animal Vet. or both. 
Thank you for putting my guys on your web site.

 Now that its warming up out side, I put there harness on and walk around the yard and then thy go in the outdoor run they don't mind it.

 Victoria looks like she has gotten taller, and she will now lay right next to me on the couch. Natalie likes to look out our french door in kitchen and sometimes she will just lay their in the sun
