Furry Fighter Friday

In memory of Storm, the Furry Fighter. After winning the battle against Feline Lymphoma for 18 months, she has gone into the arms of all those furry friends over the rainbow bridge who have gone before her. Our love and prayers go out to her meowmies. They are the loving and generous hearts who surrounded Stormie with all the love and care she needed to make her time on this earth the best that it could be. Thank you for sharing your story and sharing your life with us.
Peace to you our friend. Love, Beau Beau & Angie and Family

Tuesdays Tummies

How about an upright Full Monty? Ok one two free -- steeeeeeeeretch. Oh dat felt good. It's a good way to start da day wif a reely great stretch. Now for da more leisurely stretcher take a look at Angie.Geez, Angie is dat da best stretch yoo can do?

"I'm doin' an across da body arm stretch. Isn't dat a nice one? "

Friday's Friends

I found a turtle outside. There are always lots of fun fings to find on da outside. This one was a little boring tho coz it didn't move too fast. Plus it wuz hard to push it around. We finks dis is a Painted Turtle. But we are not sure if it's a male or female Painted turtle. It sure has nice pretty colors tho. But once we got close it put it's head inside and wouldn't come out.

Tons of Tummies

Mom keeps calling me "Her Floofiness". I can't imajin why? You wouldn't know by lookin at me dat I only weigh six pounds. Yoo can stare at mine belly for a couple days cuz Mom is going away on bizzness. We gets to keep Dad company all by owrselves. Well, da collij girl is here too tho but dey don't know how to help us rite. She will try to steal some time from werk to check in on us but it might be too hard coz dey am werking her like a woofie she says. We am furry glad we am cats so we don't get werked like woofies.

Mancat Monday

I'm feeling much better fanks to mine Boston Red Sox buddy, Wally Jr. We alreddy haf a Wally, yoo remember him - da spoiled one who went to Rooba? So dis is Wally Jr. Mine Dad gave him to me to make me feel better. If any v.e.t. comes near me again him is gonna use his bat on him.

I still have anty-byotiks to take and I take dem like a mancat. Mom just puts da eyedropper filled wif pink stuff near mine mouf and I just lick it all up. Yummy.
Fanks for all yur good wishes. I know it helped me to feel lots better.

Beau Beau's Better

After mine teef stealing traama, I'm feelin' much better speshully after dat nasty anna-seezee-a got owt of mine body. I didn't see any purple flyin fings like mine twin, Victor, but instead I fot I wuz invizzable and could walk frew anyfing so I kept bumpin' mine nose on da PTU cage bars. I finks mine nose hurted more dan haffin' mine teefies stolen. Mom says mine nose wuz swollen twice da size. I gots a little healin' to do on mine nose as yoo can see.

Alreddy I am relaxed more . Da only strange fing is dat Angie duz not know me anymore. Efurry time I try to kiss her neck and lick her she sniffs mine face and bref and den she hisses at me! She looks like she knows me an lets me get close but den she smells mine bref and dats da end of it. I finks she wuz used to da stinky bref and now she finks I am an imposter. I still looks like me don't I?

Mine Teeth Were Stolen

Beau Beau: MEOW MEOW MEOW gurgle thipth wuth me thfore I thwented gurgle rrrrrrr oo aa awthul v.e.t.
Thifff if me now with maaaa banged upth nothe.

Mom Brenda:
Beau Beau is still walking around a little shaky even now. He has managed to jump up on things but he keeps falling down.
He has FORL (Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions) and that's why the vet took his teeth out. I realize they had to come out but I still am having a hard time getting over the fact that they never even called to let me know that's what was happening. If I hadn't questioned anything they were just going to send me on my way with some antibiotics and pain meds (that are for dogs only by the way) without any explanation of what they did.
Needless to say after 20+ years of going to that veterinary hospital with various cats, I won't be returning.
The good thing about all this is that Beau Beau was probably in pain from the bad teeth and after he heals he should feel much better. Maybe he won't be so aggressive towards Angie anymore (even tho she is the Queen - :-)
Thanks for all your comments to make us feel better. We really appreciate it! We love you all!

Toofie Thursday

Update: Beau Beau did have his teeth stolen. SEVEN of them as a matter of fact. Mom is not pleased. Beau Beau looks like crap and my heart is breaking from what he must be going through right now. If anyone has gone through teeth extraction with any of your babies any advice would be extremely appreciated. I'm really upset that the didn't even call and ask if it was ok to remove them. I thought he was just getting a cleaning and didn't know it was an automatic process that they would just go ahead and remove his teeth. On top of that no one was there to even explain what happened. I had to practically pry it out of them and get an explanation of why and which ones. The first explanation from the vet (from the back room) I got was "he just has bad genes." When I questioned them more and actually got to talk to another vet she explained better but I am still in shock. He's only 3 years old -- I just realized that I missed his birthday this month.. Ohhhhh. Crap.
Thanks,
Beau Beau's Mom Brenda

These are da lizards dat are all ofur da island. Mom thot of Daisy the Curly Cat rite away when she saw dese reely big lizards coz she knows how much Daisy likes dem.
Den da birds were all around Mom here on da island too. She had fun wathchin' da birds eat all da ofur humans food as soon as dey got up from da table and some birds efun eated dare food when da beans went to get more food ::snicker::.
And lookit dis shrimp feast dey found at a Sunday brunch! Now we know where to go to stock up on shrimp for da next one of owr parties.
An now we am reely jellus coz we didn't know she wuz bringin' Wally wif dem to Rrooba. Dat's no fair. He gets to go efurry where fun.
Looks like Wally mighta had more fun den da beans did after a swingin' night on da beach. Next baycashun da beans take we am goin to pack owrselves up in da luggage so we can go haf some of dat shrimp and eat some leezards.

Mine humans are finally home from vacation in da Carrybean. To show mine appresheashun for dem returning I wanted to give dem a present. After all my hours and days of waiting an hunting I finally caughted a birdie. It wuz a BIG one too! It wuz so big I could hardly fit it in my mouf! It wuz as big as me! It wuz as big as Beau Beau! Reely! Well schmaybe not as big as Beau Beau cuz him is HUGE. I waited and waited an den I pounced an got him and ran as quick as I could to bring da birdie to mine humans. Dey saw my ginormous gift an were so acited dat dey quickly ran to greet me and get my preshus gift. Mine humans were so greedy to get him out of mine mouf dat dey let her escape! It all happend so fast. I ran again after her to get my preshus gift back but she took off in da sky. Da moral of da story is to not open a gift bird in da mouf. Isn't dat da right way it goes?

~Angie

P.S. dey will be helping us to visit efurryone an catch up on all da news. We did manage to get a message ofur to dem in Rrrrrruba to let dem know bout da suddenness and sadness of Bonnie Underfoot's passing. It reminds us of how preshus and short life reely is. Live each day as full of life and happiness that you can. In honor of Memorial Day tell someone you thank them and love them for who they are and that you are glad that they are in your life.

Hey collij girl! Mom says to gib us some bejitibbles wif owr stinky goodness. Since yur eatin all dem bejitatibbles just fork some ofur to us. Not too many tho cuz we don't wants to gets the farts or anyfing.

Thursday's Thoughts

I am thankful my humans finks I am so cute. They don't know dat I do dese poses on purpose just to give dem more material for pictures. Plus I saw da luggage owt and I am trying to use all da cuteness I haf to make dem take me wherefur dey are going. My face twin, Parker, tried da pathetic look to get her humans to stay home. I am going wif da cute look instead.
For now, me an Angie am going to haf a little visit at Powder an Parker's howse to keep dem company.

Wordy Wednesday Photos

This is Beau Beau & Angie's friend, Buddy, who lives at their Grammie and Dan's house.


Dan as been feeding Buddy every day for the last three years. He's one lucky squirrel.
I was testing out my Canon Digital XTI with a new Canon EF 50mm lens and was lucky enough to have Buddy as a living model. I think he really was getting into posing for me. I swear I saw him smile and wink.

Once again, here is Sydney, Dan's cat. She gets to watch out her patio door everyday for Buddy. Isn't she a cutie?
