What is up with calling this baby it? Is this baby a boy or girl? This baby is very adorable…..

It’s possible the owner doesn’t know the kitten’s gender, but I’m guessing it’s more likely that it’s a blip in translation.

Pulga is frowning. *Puts the frowning Pulga in the backpack*

My aunt had a dog named Pulga. That was one mean dog.

Hope everyone & their cat-babies are well today. I’m listening to Pearl Jam and having a breakfast croissant. Life is good.

Me next. She is so small and tiny. “Kisses her little pink nose and squishes a paw for Dee. Cranks up the volume and slips away” Thanks HM!

Dog gone it!!! Is that a dirty word on TDK? Was walking at lunchtime and missed being able to pet Pulga! Oh well , I enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine. Now back to my windowless cubicle for the afternoon.

Hey, you’re right! There is sunshine in Ohio! I’ve been in a windowless meeting room all day. My cats are probably in seventh heaven, playing in sunbeams at my balcony door.
Did I miss petting Pulga? and can someone tell me, what’s an “emo cat?”

 
 
2007-04-17 17:05:42

I’m next,such a darling little kit-pats her head steals a bit of croissant and dashes-Life IS good.

HD — cuz there “virtual” croissants! 0 calories! I’ll take two, but put diced sausage in mine, Mom to Tiga! But how rude….that is of course if you’re making enough for ALL of us…shouldn’t be too hard, eh? LOL!

Huddy’s Mama,
I guess since your breakfast disappeared, I can save you some burritos and a piece of cheesecake for lunch?
I gather, that you like burritos and cheesecake. I seen your reply to my post late last nite. How are you and your boys? Doing well, I hope.

 
Comment by Huddy's Mama
2007-04-17 21:52:22

Ok burritos and cheesecake it is! Mmmmm…burritos. Me and the boys are great. I’m gonna go right home, take a shower and hop in the bed so they can worship me.

I actually got here early for a change! What a cutey prowler! Probably too young for a catnip lure into somebody’s back pack.

I have her in the backpack, Jeannette, but you can pet her.

Comment by Great Dane
2007-04-17 18:19:26

You still have her, HM? I left little Bob at home today and I miss him! (eventhough I was awakened at 5:40 AM by said little guy sitting on shoulder and dropping crinkly silver ball on my face to begin a highly entertainibng round of fetch!!)
His “punishment” was a “paw bath” to clean litter from his little paws. I seem to have discovered that it’s not necessarily the litter, but the fact that Bob pees so much with his kidney issues that the litter can’t keep up and just gets wet and clay-like eventhough I give him new litter every day! Doesn’t help that he always pees in the same corner of the litterbox!

Great Dane rotate the box so there is clean litter on the spot he likes. I am so glad he is a peeing king and not blocked up.

Comment by Great Dane

Hm, but his litterbox is triangular!!!!!!????????

So then you have three corners instead of four.

It sits in a corner?

Comment by Huddy's Mama
2007-04-17 19:05:02

You left Bob at home? I know you must miss him. I was bummed when Sebastian and Huddy got too big to take with me. Maverick was 3 when I got him, so he never got to go to work with me. I don’t think he’d want to. They didn’t name him Maverick for nothing.

Sylvester has been bugging me all morning for attention so I sprayed his little carpeted “house” with the catnip mist and now he is passed out. Oh the wonders of catnip.

 
Comment by paulajeanne
2007-04-17 20:18:22

I have got to get me some of that catnip spray!

 
Comment by Karin from SF, CA
2007-04-17 20:28:09

I bought it from PetSmart here in my area. The label on the bottle says “Whisker City and underneat that it says Catnip Mist (Brume d’herbe a chats). For more information on Whisker City products call 1-800-806-4229

Sylvester loves it and when I spray it on a scratching post, he tries to lick the post as usually I give the catnip in plant form and he eats the leaves I pick off the plant for him. He is so spoiled but he gives me a lot of joy and love and is worth it.

Thanks for your kind words Renee. Everything is great at home and the work flood was caused by an overflow in the bathroom. It apparently backed up early Sunday morning but nobody noticed until the guard made his rounds three hours later.

When my neice was graduating from law school 7 years ago in Cleveland I got to go to The Football Hall of Fame. I have a picture of me hugging Mike Ditka’s bust too bad he couldn’t hug mine! I be bad! I grew up watching him play for Da Bears then coached.

Hey Susan in GA, did your niece graduate from a Cleveland law school or Akron? I ask because I graduated from Akron’s law school 7 years ago! Would be totally weird if I know her! Send me an e-mail on one of my Catster pages if you want (click on my name above this post to go there).

Mary, I would encourage your manager to let you all go home if it is all wet and stinks. The mildew could start to create a health hazard and I think the management would prefer to have a couple of days off versus being sued for putting you all in a unhealthy environment.

Rowan,
Hi, Ina was posted on Jan-20-2007. Nyan was posted for Nov.6, she was a tiny sleeping kitten. They’re all so cute. My first thought also, was that Pulga reminded me of Ina.

This from abcnews.com. Is this food problem ever going to end?

————————————————
Natural Balance Pet Foods Recalled

WASHINGTON Apr 16, 2007 (AP)— Natural Balance Pet Foods recalled two kinds of pet food after receiving reports of animals vomiting and experiencing kidney problems, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday.

The recall includes all date codes of Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food. The company does not know the cause of the problem, but said it is focused on one particular lot.

Natural Balance Pet Foods is working with the FDA to investigate the matter and is urging consumers to not feed either pet food product to their animals.

Thank you. That is my cat’s food. Guess it is back to Hill’s prescription for them.

Pulga is so sweet and so tiny. I wonder how old (s)he is?

Cute Overload for one pleads with fans to vote for it and almost every nominee has at least put the brag badge on their page.

Kittens look funny when they are so tiny their heads look two sizes too big. I guess they named her “Pulga” because she is so small.
She reminds me of Chloe when she was that age. Many kisses to tis sweet baby.

Comment by Huddy's Mama
2007-04-17 16:08:53

I remember when I got Huddy, he could hardly hold his big head up and his ears were HUGE. I still have a ‘preemie’ picture of him. He looks like he’s wearing a little wifebeater. lol

I love it when they’re that small. When we first got Trixie she was all wobbly when she walked. Too, too cute!

 
Comment by Rosie in SA

I love it they are so uncoordinated at that age. All big heads. They go to swat things and fall over ’cause their head sent them off balance…too sweet those itty bitty kitties, just like Pulga.

Comment by Huddy's Mama
2007-04-17 16:28:32

I’m laughing really loud because it’s brining back all these memories of the baby Huddy. He’d get sleepy and just fall over back in those days. The momentum of his head would just send him over I guess.

Those sweet memories of the babies (human and furry) can bring a smile to the day. It’s so much fun to think back to those cute days.

That’s what I like about this community, because so many times, and in so many directions, the words spoken bring back the joys life has offered.
