Sundays are for snoozing in sun puddles, sleeping in hammocks and snuggling humans

Through Gizmo's Eyes

I love Sunday's. I've been spending today lying in sun puddles, sleeping in my hammock and snuggling my humans. I've also spent Sunday on the other side of the laundry door sniffing out the enemy. Mum says she is not the enemy and her name is Denali, but I hissed at her yesterday when I first saw her anyway. She didn't even seem scared of me. I could only see her through the crack in the door cause mum and dad say she's in quarantine and I'm not allowed near her for at least a month.

She is annoying already. She kept crying this morning, I wanted her to be quiet so I could enjoy my Sunday, but then I realised she was probably lonely cause she has to spend all her time in the Laundry by herself cept when mum goes in to feed her. I meowed at her through the door to let her know she wasn't alone. Only mum goes in the Laundry to see her cause she has had ringworm before so the vet said she might be immune to it, but dad hasn't had it. Now mum always smells like disinfectant.

Anyway back to Sunday Fun... I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the sun, and even more so cause mum and dad went shopping this morning, and they came home with chicken necks. Mum says its good for my teeth, but I don't care about that.. I think they taste yummy.

Anyway I will be sharing this blog soon with Denali cause mum says I need to learn to share. So I said mum could include some photos of her on here too.
I hope you all enjoy your Sunday as much as I do.

Denali - The trouble begins

Denali has arrived.

We got Denali as a friend for Gizmo. She is an 8 week old ragdoll x bengal kitten. She is absolutely adorable, as you can see by the pictures, and I am sure she will get up to just as much mischief as Gizmo does. We got her from someone interstate and assumed they were reliable when they said she would come vet checked vaccinated, wormed and flea treated. Well as you all know to 'assume' makes and ass of u and me. When she arrived, she looked a little worse for wear, but we expected that because she had just been couriered interstate.

We took her home, gave her a bath and started brushing her. Bits of hair started falling out. I figured at first it was just because she had played with other kittens and was a little scabby because of bite marks as such, but then I noticed a quite defined patch where the hair had fallen out. Hmmm not good. I suspected possible ringworm. We were planning to have her vet checked after cleaning her up, so we decided that was the most important thing now before anything else. Gizmo would have to wait to meet her until we found out if she was healthy.

Unfortunately it is as I suspected. The vet said she is riddled with ringworm, and it's probably one of the worst cases she has ever seen. So we came home from the vet armed with various medications and a special shampoo.

 Now we have to try to keep Denali away from Gizmo for 4-6 weeks, as well as prevent the spores from spreading while medicating denali, bathing both of them in a special shampoo, and ensure they dont use the same living spaces, toys, or have cuddles with us whilst we wear the same clothes as we did for Denali. Then we also have to hope that we don't get it whilst we still make Denali feel welcome to our home. Luckily we have a few spare bedrooms at the moment which means they can both have their own room and play space. Lets hope Gizmo stays ringworm free and we do too.

Gizmo knows theres something meowing on the other side of the door, and he seems curious, it's so annoying that it will be 6 weeks before we can introduce them.

Monday Mancat Antics

Here are some pictures of Gizmo playing with his toy tiger friend. He really seems to think its real. He pounces on it, jumps away from it, tackles it, forward rolls over it, uses it as a kicker, hugs it, and after he has fought with it, he gives it a quick bath on the head.

We've found a new friend for gizmo

After 2 months of looking for the perfect friend for Gizmo, we've found her. She is a Ragdoll x. We get to pick her up on Saturday, and we hope Gizmo likes her as much as we do.

Last weekend we gave gizmo a white tiger toy almost the same size as him. He hasn't stopped wrestling with it and he even sleeps snuggling it. I think he feels like he has a friend. I really hope he and the new kitten become close friends.
We have a separate room for the kitten to begin with, and have used one of gizmo's blankets in her bed. Someone else suggested rubbing our warm socks taken straight off our feet on both cats to make our scent the dominant one. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Caturday with dad

Through gizmo's eyes

Mum had a cheer competition to go to today, so I spent the day with dad. We watched football and movies and ate beef jerky. I like beef jerky. We played with my toys, then Dad gave me a nice long brush and then I spent time outside lying in sun puddles. I liked spending caturday with dad.
