Top Cat Tuesday...a message from Elsie Fallulah Graves

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

It is now times for Top Cat Tuesday.  Many of you who follow us on Facebook know that our Little Joey Cartwright Graves III has been goin' through some hard times lately.  He got all confusaled when his adopterated mama, Mazie Grace, got so terribly sick and had to go to the hospitals.  He started actin' all mean and growly and hissy and swatty...with all of us...includink our mommy.  

Our brand new vetrinarians, Dr. Mark...who we like LOTS...checked Joey on the insides and outsides...there is nothin' physically wrongs with him...he's just kinda screwed ups 'cause Mazie was gone for so longs and then came backs.  

Mommy pulled us all together for a family meetink and asked if we could all be a little patient with Joey as he works through all of his many issues...I think everybody knows how I have feeled 'bout Joey from day one...I shoulda had him as a snack back when he first came to the house.  But, I can't change the fact that he is here and is obviously stayink.  So, if mommy asks me to be nice for now, I will 'cause I loves her and it is important in my role of Top Cat that I sit a good exzamples.

And so, we has all been avoidin' Joey 'cause he's so dang mean right now...he hits us all...even mommy...and growls and hisses, too.  And you don't even wants to know how awful he is to Mazie Grace.  But for some reason, he was partickularly nice to me over the weekends...so nice that this happeneds:

I knowed this picture would be leaked onto the innernets...so I wanted to make sure that I controlled the message...please note the followink:

1. Just because I am layin' there cuddled up with this little pest does NOT mean that I am enjoyink it.  I am definitely takin' one for the team.
2. Notice how my eyes is all sqwinty like somethink smells bad...that's 'cause JOEY is a stinky boy.
3. No, Joey is not coppin' a feel of my bosoms...you dirty-minded peoples need to git your minds outs of the gutters.  My boyfriend, Rudy, will knock you into next Sunday if you start nasty skanky rumors 'bout me.

This is just a picture of ME sittin' the right exzamples for the rest of the Whiskers & Purrs Gang...I take my job as Top Cat very real seriously and I am very real good girl.

Please pray that Joey gits better...fast.  I ain't so sure I will be able to keep bein' so kinds and jintle with him...

Very truly yours,

Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves

Top Cat Tuesday: On a Booger Watch

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

First of all, as Top Cat of the Whiskers & Purrs Gang, I want express our best wishes to all of you for a wonnerful holiday week.  We hope Santa Claws bringed you a big ass stash of toys and treats and the rest of this week brings you lotsa lap time with your beans.

I am sad to share with you this mornink that the W&P Gang have now gone into a high level of alert due to the seriousness of health issues goin' ons here.  Mazie Grace still has her feedink tube.  She ain't zactly thrilled to be eatin' her foods so mommy is still tendin' to her almost every minute of the day and nights.  Our alert level went up to Level Three UH-OH on Sunday mornin' when it becamed apparent that mommy was not feelink goods.  She said that a ragink gang of evil boogers come down the chimney with Santa Claws and attacked her.

Booger attacks ain't no goods.  Mommy feels like craps.  So...I am watchin' over her to make sure she maintains strength...at least enoughs to be able to open our Fancy Feast cans...priorities, y'all.

I hope you all have a wonnerful week with your beans...remember...you is the only laptop that matters.

Very truly yours,

Top Cat Tuesday: A message for Santa Claws

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  It is now times for Top Cat Tuesday.  Well, life is continuin' to git back to normals now that Mazie Grace is homes.  We are very thankfuls that the doctor's said she don't got that awful lymphomas.  Today she goes back for the specialist to check her feedink tube and check to see how she is doink.  Mazie has been havin' a hard time swallowink solid foods...she is innerested in foods but...when she tries to swallow its...it seems like it hurts her.  Mommy called the vet and they think maybe the feedin' tube is out of position just a little bits...so... they is gonna do an X-ray to make sure it's okay and if it's not, they is gonna fix it.    Mazie still loves for mommy to tube feeds her...she purrs so loud and hard that mommy can feel it vibratin' through the syringe as she is puttin' the foods in the tube!

Today is the last edition of Top Cat Tuesday before Santa gits here...I have a special message for him...I just want him to know that I can honestly say, on behalfs of the whole W&P Gang, we have all been good children...as much as it pains me to say it, even Joey.  This has been a hard year...mommy has had so much goin' ons with her family and then Jimmy died and now Mazie has been so sick...and through it all...every single member of the Gang has been good and kind and sweet.  So, Mr. Santa Claws, BRING ON THE PRESENTS!...I means...please, sir, if you have some toys to spare, we sure would like to have somes.  And, Mr. Santa Claws, sir?...All of our friends on the innernets has been good, too, so please be sure to give them some toys, too, 'kay?...'specially my boyfriend, Rudy, his brother, Boob, their little sister, Gertie Parker and Joey's girlfriend, Frejya Macro who lives all the way over in Londons.

That's it for now, dear friends on the innernets.  I hope you all have a wonnerful Christmas holiday!

Update on Mazie Grace

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Top Cat Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  As most of y'all knows, Mazie Grace is not feelin' so very goods.  Mommy taked her to the Hospital for Very Sick Cats, also knowed as the Veterinary Referral & Critical Care Hospital, last nights.  They was there for a very real long times.  

They poked our Mazie Grace and squeezed her stuff and drained out lots of her bloods.  The good news is that they did not find any infections, no obvious masses in her insides, her liver seems to be quiverin' rights and her thyroid is doin' whatever it is that thyroids is supposed to dos.  The bad news is that they don't have any idea as to why she is loosin' weights and not eatin'.  She was real dehydrateds, though, so that's why she didn't feel good over the past few days and probably why she quitted eatin'...

They keeped her at the hospitals so they could hook her up to an IV and give her fluids to help her feel all betters.  Today, somebody called Miss Internist is gonna poke and squeeze her some mores and they are gonna do an ultrasound of Mazie's insides. The ER vet told mommy that it could be a lots of things...includin' inflammatory bowel disease or...lymphoma.  

We are sads...and worrieds...AND MAD AS HORNETS AT THE VET THAT WASTED SO MUCH TIME WITH MAZIE.  Mommy has been tellin' the flippy dippy dumbass girl that examined Mazie 3 weeks ago that somethink was wrongs.  She said "oh no...Mazie is fine"...Mommy had her at the vet's office 2 times beggin' them to find what was wrong but she just flipped her hair back and said "nothin' is wrong"...See, our real vet, Aunt Doktor Dugan, retireds...so we is STUCK with the two loser vet's that are still there.  Mommy is findin' us a new vet so we never have to go back there.  BUT...before we leave that awful place, mommy is gonna give that dumbass vet a piece of her mind regarding her negligence, lack of professionalism and unethical approach toward Mazie Grace's care.  I wish I could be a fly on the wall for that little conversation!

But for nows, we is 100% focused on gittin' Mazie Grace home and healthy agains.  We ask that everybody would please pray for our sweet little blind girl...she was pritty skeert last night...you have to remember that she is blind and didn't know where she was or what was goin' ons.  On top of that, she had never been there before so she was skeert.  Mommy tried to comfort her but...we ain't sure mommy was much helps.  Please pray she gits better real quick and comes home even quicker.

We will keeps everybody updated on Facebook and the bloggy.

Very truly yours,

Top Cat Tuesday...on Wednesday: Great Aunt Elsie

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  I am very real disgusterated.  Yesterday was Top Cat Tuesday and mommy said she was "too busy" to help me post to the bloggy.  I'm tellink you, you just cannot find good help these days...Anyways, we is gonna post today because I gots some big ass excitin' stuff to share with all my friends on the innernets.

Mommy has been helpin' her aunt that lives in West Virginia 'cause she has somethink called "Alzheimer's Disease".  Mommy helped to git her into assisted living and now is workin' to start sellin' her house.  She has been tryin' to sort through her things in order to figger out what to sell, what to keep, what to trash...and she founded a big box with old old old old OLD pictures.

One picture in particular reminded her of someone real specials in her family.  See mommy was real close with her grandmother on the her dad's side.  She teached mommy how to do fun things like nittin' and croshays and stuff...you know...playin' with strings.  When mommy was borned, her grandmother was already pretty olds...all of her family had already gone to heavens.  But mommy heard all 'bout 'em...she had forgotted 'bout the beautiful little girl in this here cool picture...

Carl Fleshman, Elsie Fleshman and Lyle Fleshman circa 1891

The little girl in this picture is Miss Elsie Lillian Fleshman.  She is mommy's grandmother's older sister. Elsie was born in 1891...uhm...that was 120 years ago!  This picture is old old old...you know...like my mommy!  The two little boys are Great Uncle Carl (left) and Great Uncle Lyle (Right).  Mommy's grandmother had not yet been borneded when this picture was taken...she was borned in 1893.  

Now personally, I am very extra prouds of Great Aunt Elsie...I think she is representin' all Elsie's in the whole world quite wells.  First of all...she is ROCKIN' one fine hair-do with that big curly-que thing on the top of her head.  And, you can tell she obviously knows how to travel first class, all decked out on that fuzzy blankits...(mommy says that blankit upsets her 'cause it is probably furs...but they probably didn't have faux furs back then...)...Also Great Aunt Elsie is the center of attention in this picture...she is surrounded by mens who obviously adores her...

Unfortunately, Great Aunt Elsie kinda had a sad life...she died in 1953...she had Parkinson's Disease.  I am proud to say I am part of a family with a such strong role model for Elsie's all around the worlds. Today I am goin' to ask all of my friends to have a moment of silence in honor of Great Aunt Elsie.

Very truly yours,

Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves

Top Cat Tuesday!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,
This is Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'. Today is Top Cat Tuesday! I have missed all of my innernet friends so much. We have been away so long...I've got so much to update you all abouts...

First of all, I have been very real busy doin' my Top Cat duties...I swear my work is never done. There's always somebody to whap and mommy's always needin' very close supervisions. I am startink to think that maybe she is a hopeless case...I fear I might never git her trained in the proper care and servitudes of the Gang.

Then, there was a big innernets skandal...somebody posted this on the innernets and Rudy gotted all hurts and sad. It made me so mads 'cause IT AIN'T ME! First of all...I wouldn't be caught in THAT bikini! Plus, my arm furs are white. And finally, I am far more womanly than that broad! Somebody pasted my head on some skinny chick's body...



Then, I decided to order myself some very fancy panties from Victoria's Secret with mommy's credit card...uhm, well...that didn't turn out so goods...them panties made my hiney hot and Elsie's Secret very itchy. So...I have declared that none of the girls in the Whiskers & Purrs Gang will ever have to wear panties agains. I think maybe only ugly girls wear panties, anyways!

And then most recentlys, we had some people come and paint the outsides of the Whiskers & Purrs House! It was very real dramaticals. Mommy thought maybe she was gonna have a strokes or somethink...at one point they had all the windows in the house wide opens...with the screens off...I really thoughted maybe mommy was gonna have to go to the looney bins 'cause she was so worrieds that one of us would git outs. But, none of us did and the painter mens is all gones...and our house looks wonnerfuls.

And so, my dear innernet friends, that's it for this edition of Top Cat Tuesday! I hope your summer has been as excitingful as ours. I will look forward to talkin' with you next week!

Very truly yours,

Top Cat Tuesday!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  Today is Top Cat Tuesday!  I have been very busy doin' my Top Catly Duties here in the Whiskers & Purrs House.  Somethin' very real dramatical happened yesterday that required me to step up and be the strong womanly Top Cat that I am!  I can hardly wait to tell you all 'bouts it!

See, back in December mommy was in the kitchen.  We was all snoozin' when all of a sudden we heard mommy say "OH NO!"...and then we heard the door to the kitchen shut.  And that door ain't been opened since!  Ever since the "OH NO!", there has been weird noises comin' outs of the kitchen...sometimes loud bangy noises, sometimes strange people comes in and outs of the kitchen and sometimes mommy goes in there and stays for hours and hours and hours.

None of us is alloweds in there.  The door stays shuts.  And sometimes, mommy shuts all of us up in the upstair bedrooms...it is just plain weirds and aggrivatin'.  So...yesterday, I decided that I had had just 'bouts enough.  Mommy had goned into the kitchen.  I runned downstairs and put my ear up against the door.  I could hear her fumblin' 'rounds in there and talkin' to herselfs.  Then, all of a sudden, she opened the door!  I took my chance and made a runs for it!  I charged right past her and runned into the room.

People, I just can't unnerstand what happened...our kitchen is GONE!  The room is empties!  The cabinets is gone.  The kitchen machines is gone.  The floor ain't the same floor no mores. The kitchen table and chairs is all gones...AND...the walls are a different color...SOMEBODY DONE GONED AND STOLED OUR KITCHEN!  And, mommy let it happen!

I am very real upsetted by all of this.  I am now conductin' my 'vestigation and will let you know as soon as I figger out what in the world is goin' ons and how it all happened.  If you have any ideas or have any information 'bout what happened, please let me know!

Very truly yours,
Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves

Top Cat Tuesday!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'...today is Top Cat Tuesday!  I have to be honest and say, dear peoples, that I am very very sads today.  Well, actually, I am a combination sads and mads...I guess I'm smads.  

First, let me refresh your memories 'bout this tryin' time in my lifes.  We have an agreement in the Whiskers & Purrs House that nobody will mention Anderson Cooper's name and he ain't allowed on our TV since he broked my heart...'specially since it was in such a big, loud way.   Well, peoples, my mommy has letted me downs...she has betrated me. See, Anderson Cooper is comin' to speak in our town this comin' weekend and mommy took MY green papers and buyed a ticket to go see him.  She is takin' time aways from her mommily duties to go listen to what that cold hearted, mean man has to say.  She would actually rather spend time with him than takin' care of her childrens.   Anderson Cooper means more to my mommy than we do.

I guess loyalty don't mean much to SOME peoples...mommy.  I hope you have fun gallavantin' 'round town with Anderson while your tiny little childrens are at home, starvin' for Fancy Feast ...and for attentions...and for love.

Very truly  yours,
Elsie Fallulah Graves
