Mademoiselle Coco Chanel

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mademoiselle Coco Chanel speakin'.  I don't talk much on this here blog...I am very real shy.  In fact, mommy says I am probably the closest to bein' feral of all us cats in the Whiskers & Purrs Gang.  I'm kinda a silly girl...I love love LOVE to have mommy rub my tummy and kiss my face and stuff...but if she even thinks of pickin' me up or movin' too fast...well...let's just say I'm outs of there...FAST!

Well...I've not been feelin' so very goods lately.  Now I don't like talkin' 'bout stuff like this, what with me bein' a Mademoiselle and all...but...well, my tummy hurts a lot and I gots me the poops.  Our vet runned some tests on my poop and...well...I'm embarrassed to tell you that, uhm, I gots some bugs in my poo...the bugs I got are called "giardia".  Some of you might remember that my big brother, Felix, had the same thing...dang ol' poop-bugs. 

Mommy has been tryin' all week to give me my medicine...but, see, uhm, it skeers me.  She has been so worried and stressed out...she said she was gonna need some pills herself if I didn't start cooperatin'...First she tried pills...uhm, let's just say NOT HAPPENIN' MOMMY!  Mommy says she loosed 'bout a gallon of her bloods tryin' to git the pills down me.  So, then she tried mixin' some liquid medicine in my foods...uhm...mommy, do you honestly think I'm that dumb?  Finally, last night mommy remembered these:

I don't egzactly unnerstand what they are but mommy says they are like crack for cats...all I knows is that she gived me 2 of 'em and I gobbled 'em up!!!   And then, the next thing I knowed, mommy was SO happy...I just think mommy is weird.  All I can tell you is that if havin' bugs in my poo makes mommy give me crack-filled treats...well...them bugs in my poo can stay there for ever and evers!

Very truly yours,
Mademoiselle Coco Chanel

Joey is VERY manly!

Top Cat Tuesday

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  Today is Top Cat Tuesday.  I have missed you all, my dear friends on the innernets.  But, I decided not to fuss at mommy too much for bein' such a slacker and not helpin' us update the bloggy in the past months...she has been so tired and heart broked over her mommy. 

I am really glads that we are back...and I have been doin' everything I can to keep mommy pepped up and motivated to be happy...and keep openin' Fancy Feast cans...I've started greetin' her at the front door and some days I bring her toys and stuff...I mean, after a long day at work who wouldn't want to play with a spit-soaked pink and green baby froggy?

I think the biggest news that has happened since we hadded our last Top Cat Tuesday is that after my last unfortunate tushy incident, Aunt Doktor Dugan strongly rekommended that I go ons a diet...you know...die with a t.  I was not happy 'bout this and was very upsets.  Mommy explained to Aunt Doktor Dugan how hard it is to have as many cats as is in the Gang and have only one on a diet...so...Aunt Doktor Dugan suggested mommy take us ALL off of dry foods...and only feed us wet food...well...

I was not very real excited 'bout this 'cause I love my crunchies but...mommy did it...none of us has had crunchies or dry treats since the week early December...we now eats a high-protein and high-fiber diet...mommy feeds us wet food and she mixes in Vetasyl which is fiber...and you know whats?  WE ALL FEEL GREATS!!!  There's no bad poops now and...well...I'M LOOSIN' WEIGHTS!!!  Oh peoples, I feel so good now!  I run up and down the steps all the time and I love to chase and play with the rest of the Gang.  I have become a expert at resslin'.  It's almost like I have become a kitten again!  And, whats even betterer is that I have not had any more unfortunate tushy incidents since mommy changed our diet.  I personally wants to recommend a high-protein, high-fiber diet for kitties...it's tastey...mmmm...and it makes me feel like a MILLION BUCKS!

That's it for today, my dear friends on the innernets.  I hope you all are havin' a good week.  Thanks for not givin' up on us and continuin' to visit our bloggy!

Very truly yours,

Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves

Mazie Monday

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin'...today is Monday so that means it must FINALLY be Mazie Monday!  I just wants to say that I have missed everybody on the innernets.  We missed you all but it has just been a tough few months for mommy...we hope you guys ain't given up on us.  

Well, my dearest peoples on the innernets, I do have some more bad news to share...see, lots of ya'll might remember that back in the spring time, I had me my 3rd eyeball operation to fix my busted up eyeballs.  We was so hopefuls that I would git my eyeballs to workin' and it would last for ever and evers.   

Right after the big operation, I could see...oh peoples, it was wonnerfuls!  I could see mommy and all my brothers and sisters.  But, well, I'm so sorry to have to tell you that it just didn't last.  See, scar tissue has formed back over my eyeballs again where my Unkle Doktor Blair operated.  That means, well...I hate to tell you this but...I am now back in the dark...again.

I am sad and so is mommy but...well...I want everybody to remember that I was borneded blind-as-a-bat.   I've had 3 operations and they have helped me some but...I guess I'm just not supposed to be able to see.  But I am a very happy girl...I git 'round real good...I run up and down the stairs real good!  And, I gots my Little Joey Cartwright Graves III to raise and all my brothers and sisters to love me and...mommy is flat out crazy over me...I guess it all boils down to this...whether I'm in the dark or not, I am loved.   Life is good and I am very thankfuls.

I hope you all have very real good week.

Very truly yours,
Mazie Grace

 Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  Today is Sunday...it is time for Meet the Senator Sunday.  It's also Vowintimes Day.  You know, I'm sure that today is a very stressful day for so many of the womens in the world...wonnerin' what to git me for Vownintimes Day and wonnerin' if I'm gonna call them and ask 'em out for a date and stuff.  I wants to say right now that I am sorry for 'causin' so many womenses hearts to break.  Here it is Vowintimes mornin' and I ain't for sure yet who I'm gonna ask to be my Vowintime.  I mean, there are so many womenses and just not enough time in a day for me to git to 'em all...what with me bein' a high-powered Senator and all.

It's not just my animal magnitisms that drives the ladies wild...it's all that power and stuff that I gots.  I mean, all I gots to do is let out one hiss, a growl and start barkin' like a seal and...dang...I'm tellin' you...stuff starts to happen.

So I just want to say that if I could git my freak on with all the womenses of the world today, I sure would...but I gots to help my brothers out and make sure they git their share of experiencin' womens and their womenly ways...I can't hog 'em all...So...Brad Pitt, you can keep your skanky Angelina; George Clooney you can keep your current bimbo of the week; BoyToy Jesus you can keep your dried up old Madonna...I'm gonna sit back today and think real hard 'bout who I want my Vowintime to be...you womenses on the innernets might wants to sit by your phone 'cause you might just be the lucky one I call later today.

Very truly yours...and Happy Vowintimes Day from all of my family,

Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

We're back...

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

The past few months have been hard...real hard...mommy's mommy is still very real sick and there's no hope that she will ever git betters.  In fact, she will just continue to git worser.  She has somethin' called "dementia" plus, 'cause of some doctors makin' lotsa big mistakes, she can't walk or really take care of herself no mores.  Mommy and her daddy worked so very hard back in November and December...thinkin' that mommy's mommy could come out of the nursin' home and live in the new house that our mommy worked so hard to git set up for them...but...it just wasn't meaneded to be...they bringed mommy's mommy outta the nursin' home at the beginnin' of January...but she is in such bad shape, there's just no way that mommy's daddy could take care of her by himself.  And...Medicare won't help pay for no kinds of medical care 'cause mommy's mommy's medicare benefit has run outs.  So...after bein' home for just one week, mommy's mommy had to go back to the nursin' home...forevers and evers.  Our mommy has been so sad 'cause of this...we're talkin' REAL sads.  It makes her cry when she thinks 'bout it.

Mommy just ain't had the energy to help us with the bloggy and, well, we unnerstand.  We has been tryin' real hards to take care of mommy with a lot of purrin' and head buttin' and stuff.  Since mommy ain't had a lot of brain cells to give the bloggy, we have been doin' some Facebookin'...but...now Facebook has turned into a place where mean people can bully nice, honest cats like us so...mommy said a real bad cuss word and then..."We're gonna go back to the blog full time!"  

We are happy to be back, dear friends on the innernets.  Please don't think we didn't want to blog but mommy has just been through a real hard time and we is tryin' to be gentle with her and not fuss at her too much.  We have received tons and tons of emails from our friends on the innernets out of concern 'bout why we ain't been bloggin'.  All them emails made us git a little drippy-eyed.  We sure do appreciate it and we is gonna do everything we can to git back to bein' the super-dooper bloggers we used to be.

Over the next few days we'll update you all 'bout all that has been goin' on in the Whiskers & Purrs House...Little Joey has become a man...Elsie is startin' to look like Super Model...Mazie Grace is back to bein' blind as a bat...the drama and intrigue has continued to go on even though we ain't been bloggin' 'bout it...we'll git you all catched up over the next few days...

That's all for now but just know that we love you all and, to our real friends on Facebook...please just visit us here everyday instead of on Facebook.  It's safe to be with the Whiskers & Purrs Gang...we won't let nobody say or do mean things to each other here.  

We loves you all.

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang
