Baby Rider
Location: Brookfield, Missouri, USA
I found Rider one the side of the highway. When I put in the car with me she fall sound to sleep… so I named her Rider. Her ears were in very bad shape. They look oily in this picture from all the cleaning we did over and over. That was four years ago this June. She is now a beautiful, sleek black kitty. My Kitty in the weeds.268 Comments »

Good morning TDKers!!!! Happy Tuesday!
How do you feel?
Cutie Pie Rider… Awwww…….
Lucky kitty for you to have found her! Sweet lil face.
Tinkerbutt …..cousin to fuzzbutt
Brandi Lee,
How did the kitties and dogs like the homemade food you made them the other night????
The fuzzbutts LOVED chicken.brown rice and carrots……….I am making more for them today !
How did you make it? Mine, except for a few did not eat it.
Hi Elene,
How are you doing today? How are your fuzzbutts? I am happy as today is my day OFF! I slept for 12 hours last night! Of course being woken up every couple of hours by Perry wanting food!
The other day I worked 8 hours and boy did my back hurt! Yesterday was only 6.
Elene, boiled in chicken broth
the I put it in the blender they scarfed
Also, use some human gravy, as suggested yesterday. I tried it and it works very well. I would also suggest using some concentrated bouillon. The kitties love strong smells-
Excuse the stupidity, but I think I did something wrong. I haven’t cooked any meat in about 15 years, so I feel like a novice cook. I boiled boneless chicken breasts in water, with rice, carrots and a bit of broccoli. I’m sure it was well cooked. After it cooled a bit I put batches in the blender. Seemed to shred the chicken and got all tangled around the blades. Was that normal? I know there has to be something wrong with my method.
add the broth when you blend
try chopping the meat into cubes should go through the blender easier
is there a recipe for this posted somewhere that I missed???
I have some of them in the TDK cookbook but am looking for more! I want to send out a new version at the end of today, so If your recipes are well recieved by your furry friends, either post them here, or email me at
TDKcookbook AT gmail DOT com
This is the email to recieve the cookbook as well.
Thank you so much for doing that. i will sensd an email later in the day for my updated version!
You’ll also find it on Calvin’s page. You won’t have any trouble recognizing him. He’s the one with the remote!
thank you. i am nervous about trying them (Tiger gets massive poops sometimes, he’s even blogged about it) but would really love the comfort of knowing that my furbabies are safe.
You are so welcome!
can somebody help? I canot acess the cookbook at this site. my computer say invalid syntax, whaever that means.
It’s an e-mail address, Becky. Send a mail to TDKcookbook AT gmail DOT com (replacing the AT with @ and the DOT with a .) and ask for the recipes to be sent to you.
I’ve tried several times too, to no avail.
Tommorrow morning (with the new kitten) or the end of here (so it is easier to find) put your email address in code. remember to use AT for @ and DOT for . I will send you a copy.
MerD.
What kind of food did you buy your kitties last night????
The new picks of Bobbie Boo are so great! She is such a beauty!
I worked late yesterday, and did not make it. They got ham! and were happy.
My kids go ga ga over turkey ham. Just opening the package and it’s like sharks in a frenzy!
At least she wasn’t an Uneasy Rider..
She’s a sweet girl.:)
Rider is very cute. I love the little claws sticking out and her bright little face.
That that is an easy rider. I love the cute expression on her face.
His little faces looks like he is saying hey mom what’s for dinner.
you mean cooll rider from greese!
Sweet little Rider is very cute. I love the little claws sticking out and her bright little face.
Rider (pictured here showing off her claws) looks so sweet. I’ve always had a soft spot for black kitties.
What a cutie! I love her eyes.
heh heh heh. look at her little claws! All bright eyed! what a sweet baby indeed!
This is one lucky black kitty! Very lucky indeed!
Good morning all TDK’ers! Rider is so cute! Let’s save him for Huddy’s Mamma to put in her backpack on wheels.
Bob and I went to the local Whole Foods store yesterday after work and tried to find some organic kitty food, but all they had was for adult cats. Is there a website you could recommend, where I can purchace organic kitty food for the little guy?
If you have a Health Food store nearby try that..(not Whole Foods but the smaller type) Otherwise Trader Joes.
Go to http://www.naturalpet.com as well.
OOPS! The website I was trying to refer you to is http://www.onlynaturalpet.com
If you’re thinking of making fresh food for your kitties, I found Whole Foods has ground organic chicken backs and ground organic chicken necks, for a pretty reasonable price. They’re serving me well, until I can get the grinder needed to grind whole chicken & fish into cat food (including bones & some organ meat).
Here is a good site, Great Dane. Friendly customer service, too.
http://halopets.com/
Thanks, everybody. Bob and I are now going to try it out - he’s already trying to sit on the keyboard!
I’ve got another question. In searching through the abve-mentioned cat food sites, I can’t find any food that’s just for kittens. All of them say for cats and kittens. Am I supposed to feed Baby Bob the same food as grown cats? I thought kittens and cats needed different kinds of nutrition?
They usually do… I’d call the toll free numbers for customer service and ask about that. Maybe you could supplement Bob’s food with KMR formula.
Cute little Rider
Shoplifting your heart
From the highway beside her
Could be a black art
In the car soundly sleeping
No cause for alarm
New mom’s heart is leaping
Baby is safe from harm
Rider was found with problem ears
Fixed with stuff like grease
Now she’s a healthy moggie
And Brookfield is at peace.
She is such a pretty girl
A cutie to be sure
I would remember the place she was found
And keep coming back for more.
Now that is a keeper. And I love Ivory Bill’s last line.
me too
Some kittens just make me smile when their picture appears, and Rider is one of those!
sweet baby congrats to all you gator fans WAY TO GO GREAT GAME EVEN BETTER OUTCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WooHoo! *holds arms out and moves them to chomp-chomp*
SEC! SEC!
I graduated from the University of Florida in 2004…. It definitely is GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!!!!!!
My dad worked for the UGA athletic dep’t from the time I was 1 until I was in my 30’s.
I grew up surrounded by people who wouldn’t pull for the Gators with three engines out on the team plane. I am proud to say that I am among them!
IT’S GREAT–TO BE–A GATOR HATER!!!!!
*puts down bullhorn, returns pom-poms to beautiful cheerleader in red and black, gives Uga a “naked dog” from the Varsity, and snorgles Baby Rider.
How ’bout them dawgs! Ginny, when was your dad at UGA? My father-in-law taught there until he retired. He was in the agronomy dept. My dad taught at Southwestern in Americus at the same time. English prof.
My dad was at UGA from 1965-1999. He spent all those years part-time at the AD, and worked as an accountant full time from 65-75 (mol) in Business Services and from 75-92 at the Ga. Center for Cont. Ed.
Where did your husband go to HS–Central or Cedar? If he’s in his late 30’s to mid-40’s and went to Clarke Central, I might know him. I was CCHS, class of ‘82–Go Gladiators!
Still, all my cousins went to Cedar Shoals, and I once, in a moment of teenage stupidity, dated a guy who went to school there. So even if he was of the “other persuasion,” if he’s the right age I may know his name.
The first time I saw the dawg UGA I asked if it was short for Uga-Lee.
Yeah, but he’s so ugly, he’s cute!
You don’t align with the North Avenue Trade School, do you? (Ga. Tech to the uninitiated)
My favorite teams ae Noter Dame and Cornhuskers.
if your a “cornhusker” fan I can send you pictures of the inside of memorial stadium I have a partime job working home sporting events and have some wonderful photos I took last fall after the new addotion was finnished
That would be wonderful Athena my email address is: loveandjoy55ATYAHOODOTCOM
His family lived in Jefferson and went to school there. We’re late 50’s. You are still a baby. Gotta love the babies.
She fell asleep because she knew she was safe! My rescue kitty fell asleep in my arms the 1st time I held her.
