Shadow and Kittens

Shadow and the Kittens

Friday Ms. Shadow moved her kittens.  They went from the little box to an old stand that is on the balcony.  

 Tracibug moved some things around so they could be comfortable 

 As you can see they really liked that.

 So content in their new space.

Sunday morning rolled around and yikes it was a little cool ..... 

so when TraciBug went out to feed Shadow she took some old towels to put down for them ... it didn't go very well.  Shadow kept on moving them out of the way when she laid down ... while she nurses the kittens she kneads and since none of them were laying on the towels they were just getting pushed out of the way. 

So in the end TraciBug just put the towels down and hopes they will get them all situated.  TraciBug has put several tubs outside for them, but Shadow doesn't want anything to do with them. 

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures and have a wonderful day!!!

XOXOXO,

Ms Shadow Kitty and Her Kittens and Some Misc Stuff

Hi all!!!  We are going to try and get back to posting on the blog, it won't be daily, may be kind of sporadically, but we are going to try to post.

Let's start with some misc stuff!

TraciBug, once again, has changed jobs!  She was very excited when this job came up and she knows MamaBug would have been so happy for her.  She is back to work in the Medical Field, TraciBug went to Medical Assisting school many years ago before LaurynBug was born.  She hasn't been in the Medical Field since LaurynBug was born, so this is truely an awesome opportunity for her.  She works normal hours now (8-5) and has weekends off.  She is working for a practice of 5 surgeons who specialize in Colon and Rectal surgery as well as general surgery!  She is really loving her job.

LaurynBug has a boyfriend and has for about 6 mos now.  He has been so supportive of her through this difficult time.  She has been struggling some with the loss of her Mimi, but she is getting some grief counseling and is doing much better.

Korinna has turned 14 .... YIKES ... and got to go see Justin Bieber in concert for her birthday!  She had such a great time!  TraciBug thought there were way to many screaming girls LOL

All of us kitties are doing AWESOME!!!  Andy doesn't hide as much and actually sleeps on TraciBug's bed WITH Shelly laying on it to!  He hasn't had any owies lately.  The two of them still have altercations, but nothing like before. 

Sierra is still Sierra!  She is all over the place and her and Shelly still play like crazy!

We will get some update pics of us cats soon!!!

Until then enjoy some pictures of Ms Shadow and Kittens

As you can see they are in a pretty small box.  TraciBug stopped at Big Lots and got a clear plastic container and put some old towels in the bottom.  She is hoping Shadow will move her kittens in the container so they will have some more room.

When TraciBug was out on the balcony putting the container out, Shadow was softly meowing at her.  So she leaned forward and put her hand in the box and started scratching Shadow's head ... Shadow really like this!  TraciBug didn't mess with the kittens at all, but did see there are 3 little of them.

We have food and water out for Ms Shadow and are purrrayyyying she doesn't move them tonight!!

OMGosh these kitties are so little!!!!

XOXOXO

Wednesday Stuff

Shadow still hasn't brought the kittens back :o( hoping she will so we can keep them safe.  There were some suggestions about me trapping Shadow and have her fixed.  I had planned to do that the last time and never could make it to the training class :o(   And then Shadow would disappear and I would forget, she'd show back up and I'd start thinking I needed to go to the class ... and well, it was just a vicious cycle. 

But there is an organization that will teach me to trap her and provide me with the trap.  After trapped  I take her to them and they will spay her and after she recovers I will have to go pick her up and then release her back into the wild ...... never to bring kittens to my balcony again! LOL  This organization is funded for only specific zip codes and mine thankfully is one of them!!! :o) The job I have now should allow me more wiggle room to get a day off to go to the training.

So onto Mom.  She really is doing ok  - all things considered.  She really isn't loosing any more weight ... just loosing muscle tone and body mass.  She is getting a little more confused about things. 

To be honest with everyone, it's getting harder for me to go see her .... I don't want to remember her this way.  :o(  

Anyway, hope everyone has a good Wednesday!  

I'm working on a special post and special graphics for Andy's Belated Birthday!!  

XOXOXOXOXOXO,

TraciBug

I'll leave ya with a few pictures!

The girls getting their play on!

Remember Me??? .. and a JudiBug Update

Yes, it's me Shadow!!!!!

Oh and by the way .... I have to share my post with a Bean .. thought I would give you a heads up!!!

I went on a long adventure, the beans hadn't seen me around for a couple of weeks.  I can't say what I was doing on the adventure ... because what happens on an adventure stays in the adventure.  I'm doing pretty good, the bean says I'm awfully skinny and that I look more like Sierra now (who ever that is ... but I'm thinking it's that cat that is always staring at me from the other side of  the glass).  The bean keeps "hoping and praying" that I'm not pregnant.

So I have just been hanging out on the balcony.  I got into the plants which is why there is dirt all around me -- I don't know why she doesn't like me sleeping in them.  The beans are so nice to give me food and make sure I have clean water (especially since it's been so hot .. in the triple digits).  I still haven't made friends with any of them ... I'm still scared.

I hope everyone has a lovely day ... and now a word from the bean ...... 

I visited with Mom yesterday.  She was a bit under the weather.  She had a lot of pain yesterday, from both the cancer and teeth.  She did so much enjoy the cards (there were about 5 or 6 of them - thank you very much).  Her pain is increasing again so they are increasing her morphine.  She is still having problems using her phone.  I am working on getting her a land line, hoping that will be simpler for her.

She thanks you all for all the love, hugs and prayers that you have given her.   I know you all are praying for me as well, but have a specific prayer request.  I'm the one who has to carry insurance for Korinna.  My insurance goes into effect July 1 and payroll deduction starts.  I'm going to be paying about $400 a mos for helath, dental and vision ..... this is the most I have ever had to pay for health insurance through an employeer.  Great company to work for, but health benefit is horrible.  So, I either need to find a different full time job or get a part time job.Please pray for me wisdom on how to handle this.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!!!

Sunday Sunday

Shadow getting some use out of the box, after project balcony clean up...... 

 The box now ... after our week of rain :o(

Wordless Wednesday

Freaky Friday with Shadow and the Kittens

Project Balcony Clean Up 

We aren't sure what all the fuss was about, we were perfectly happy, but one of the beans came out and started gathering up all the leaves and stuff that was on the balcony and moved stuff around.  Most of the time we were busy playing at the other end of the balcony and one us did have to hide.  Mama ended up leaving, but came back when the bean was finished .... as you will see from the bottom pictures we are A-Ok and getting used to the changes. 

Oh and there was a question asked in yesterdays comments how Shadow leaves and comes back ... explanation and pictures are provided below

The washer and dryer are on the balcony and there is not a patio covering or awning.  A few of the neighbors have tarps attached to the end of the roof and then secured the other end to the balcony railing (boards).  We went one stop further and built a frame so that laundry could be done while it was raining.

Shadow's great escape

Viola!!!!

The tarp is going to need to be replaced very soon, there are now a lot of little claw holes. 

What the kittens were doing during the clean up 

Yoshi coming out of hiding

Peek a Boo

This is where they hid when Shadow first brought them

What the kittens did when clean up started in the area they were playing in ..... 

Yoshi on the other hand is trying to get over to her siblings

Yoshi FINALLY makes it over to her siblings

Yoshi still wants to play .... 

 Yale wants to sleep

Shadow returns

Patiently waiting for it all to be over ..... see who else is checking out what is going on

 Yale wanting to explore

Yale decides to join his/her siblings

Soooooo cute!!!!

After a short nap ... the family is up and investigating things

We hope you enjoyed our Freaky Friday with us!!!
