This little chunk of kitty cat and fuzzy rat cyber space is dedicated to two of my all time favorite pets, my cat, Vianne, and my late rat, Elliott, affectionately known as "Bubby".

Kitty gone bananas!

I was at the pet store last week to pick up a few items on my way home from work and as I was perusing through the new kitty toys, my eye fell on a big fat banana. Stuffed full of 100% organic catnip, I could just smell its potentcy before it was even brought up to my nose. I had a vague memory of some feline loving friends mentioning something about this fruity fantasy toy and I figured I'd let Vianne check it out for herself. Being that she is rather choosey about which of her toys actually get played with, I was a bit skeptical, but was willing to risk the $6 just on the off-hand chance that she might get some fun out of it. When I arrived home and presented the furry little queen with her ripe gift, I was quite pleased with what I saw. I found myself clapping my hands together and giggling with delight as she visciously attacked the banana, biting, kicking, licking and rolling all over it! So in short, the banana was a big success for my tough little critic! She liked it so much I even went back and got her the Cigar! Try out a banana on your own furballs and let us know how it goes :) Vianne gives the Yeowww! Catnip toys two paws up!




Image hosting by TinyPic Note: Due to the large amount of chaos in my life currently, I will not have time to update this main page on a regular basis. I have changed my settings so that only one blog post will be seen on the main page at a time. This way you won't be seeing a string of old posts taking up space on here. They are not deleted. You can simply view them in the archives. So if it appears that I have not been around for awhile, I'm still here, just haven't had time for adding new blogs. I will, however, be trying to keep up with the Furry Friends Forum, so I'll see you in there!

Purrs and Bruxes,

Image hosting by TinyPic Elliott blessed my life as a tiny one week old pup several years ago. I hand-raised him and we shared a very special bond. He will forever remain, not only one of my favorite rats, but also a favorite pet as well. Read his story in my April 2, 2005 post of his obituary.

Image hosting by TinyPic Vianne decided to own me back in January of 2004. At the time, I was working in an Animal Control Clinic as a vet assistant. Entering the shelter as a stray and after having already gone through her vet exam, work-up, and being a Pet Pal candidate for adoption, it was determined that she had been exposed to a URI from her littermate and was being held on observation for signs of illness. During those few days, I absolutely fell in love with this tiny ball of fur that would simply purr and "hug" me as I held her, not try to squirm away like most kittens. When she began a sneezing fit, she was placed on the euthanasia list. I simply could NOT allow such a sweet heart to be lost that way. I immediately signed up for kitten fostering and she has been a bundle of laughs and a dear friend ever since!
