This morning, like most mornings, there was a three cat wake-up committee in bed. Buster was had been walking and jumping on me for a while with pointy paws, but it wasn't having as much effect as he liked. Dot cuddled and occasionally licked my wrist with a raspy tongue. Then, Spicey decided that...

Spicey stopped eating Thursday evening, and got bloodwork at the vet yesterday, which were concerning enough that she was admitted for an overnight stay at the emergency vet today. Spicey managed to be a little bit of her spunky self, fighting with the techs. But an ultrasound has found that she...

Spicey has continued to go downhill despite yesterday's treatments with anti-neasea, fluids, and antibiotics. So today, I gave her over to TED for and IV and continued intensive treatment. She's scheduled to remain at the hospital for the next two or three days, and she'll get x-rays and...

Yesterday, Spicey hopped up on my office chair. I thought that she was going to climb up on my lap to sniff my nose, or look for treats on the desk, but instead, she just settled in next to me and purred a soft purr. We both just sat there for a while like buddies. I wondered what she was doing...

I set up Spicey in a former spare bedroom upstairs, quite far away from Dot and Buster, and from where I normally spend most of my own time. My long term idea was that she'd first have one bedroom, then two bedrooms, then the entire second floor, and then I'd start thinking about...

Since that day Spicey managed to get past the gate to play downstairs, she's been demanding more time downstairs with me and the other cats. I've obliged by letting her out for a while twice a day. The first few times out, Spicey mostly explored, excitedly trotting from room to room, taking in all...

Lately, Spicey will insist on hopping up on my lap, particularly right before bedtime. She just hops up on my lap and sits and kneads on me while purring and headbutting. I wonder where she picked this up, and whether she ever did this to Suz? After a while, I gingerly pick her up and put her back...

When I opened the door to Spicey's room today, I got an unexpected response. She hissed, came right up to the door, and tried to come after me through the crack! Spicey pulled at the door with her paw, tried to headbutt her way through, and finally gave a couple of swipes through the opening. I...

I found little Spicey sleepy and oblivious on the living room floor, with front paws tucked and back feet stretched out elegantly behind her. Seeing her in such harmless repose, i thought I'd take a chance on a straightforward approach to catching her. I prepared my gloves and armor. Spicey...

I noticed Spicey sitting at my feet, staring at me very expectantly, looking all furry & cute. I didn't have any snacks that should interest her, just some raising and pumpkin seeds, and she'd just eaten, so I was puzzled about what she wanted from me. On a lark, I picked her up (she got a dangly...

Spicey has been getting injections for the past few weeks. I found something that distracts her enough to allow me to handle her back and neck safely - Liv-a-Littles freezed dried beef treats. Spicey loves the flavor of her treasts, and they're tough like jerky and force her to chew and chew and...

Spicey has come home from the vet, and her legs seem a bit stiff, probably from being constrained to a cage for the better part of a week. Even with Dot and Buster here, the place seemed so empty without her! She's currently going all around the house, sniffing everything, and alternately...

Today, Spicey hopped onto my lap for the first time since I'd gotten her. She wanted a bite, or two or three, of the spicy wings I had on my plate. She licked and nibbled at my dinner with an eager expression on her little mottled face. In yet another first, I decided that this would be an...

Spicey's lately been loud and insistent about being allowed to be with the rest of the family. When she's on the other side of the screen, she protests by crying and crying, and rattling and scratching at the screen. This reminds me so much of when she was in her carrier on the ride home from Suz's...

Spicey's stitches were taken out Tuesday. Shes now collar free and eating me out of hous and home. Her fur is looking smooth and shiny. Thank you so much for all your purrs. Suz&Spicey

She's home now and still woozy. She's on pain meds and still affected by anesthetic. Chris created a temporary litterbox for her. She was given a long acting antibiotic because she's hard to pill (very feisty). She's starting to settle down. Thank you for all your purrs. Suz & Spicey

Is Spicey a Dave?: I was getting washed up when I felt a paw (claws in) cop a feel. Treed Kitty: I found a floor to ceiling cat tree for a reasonable price. Spicey loves it up there. They also had a fish on an elastic cloth covered rope. We attached it towards the top she love to play with it. She...

Spicey, my cute little untame girl has been with us for over half a year now, and seems quite accepting of everyone and everything. Every morning, I get a visit in bed from Spicey. Usually, Dot and Buster will already be with me, since they often sleep on top of the covers, or on me. When Spicey...

Spicey was in a particularly playful mood, and was hopping and scrabbling and chasing the other cats. Dot and Buster scurried out of the way as Spicey pounced at them and did a little jig. All of a sudden, I felt claws digging into my calf. "OW!!!" I said in surprise and pain. I turned to see...

A lot of people had been asking me how Spicey has been doing. Things have been going pretty much exactly the same for the past month or so, which has generally been a good thing. Spicey has a healthy working relationship with Dot and Buster, which is to say that they usually ignore each other. :)...
