Holy Cats

You see the above picture. We were going outside everyday and it had even reached 75. We don't have any pictures to prove this but it snowed here this weekend. It got very cold and really snowy and it even stuck. Luckily it is gone now but we have wind. Mom says that if I was to go out today I could be a Patches kite. That sounds like it could be a little fun.

Today is the day Dad finds out the results of the biopsy. Mom and Dad are trying to be really hopeful that things are not bad. We don't really want our Dad to have more surgery but we also don't want to think about the awful c word. Mom has yet to hear about the job yet. She has been feeling a little down thinking about it but whatever happens she is glad that she at least still has a job.

Our Grandma and Grandpa cat came to visit last weekend to get things ready for the baby. If we aren't around much in the next few weeks that might mean Mom had the baby. She is our primary typist but we will beg Dad to come on and make an announcement. Her due date is April 10 but she has had a few rough evenings with little sleep and she says she is ready to be done. We will keep checking on our friends blogs even if we can't post so we won't go away completely. We will update tomorrow about Dad's appointment. Wish us luck.

Fifth Photo Meme

We've been tagged by Tristan and Crikey for the Fifth Photo Meme. It took us a few days to post this because we have been busy. We'll talk about that later. Here are the rules:

1. Open a document or file folder.
2. Click on the fifth folder.
3. Click on the fifth photo.
4. Post the photo and describe it.
5. Tag five other bloggers for the Meme.

We had to alter this a little because our 5th folder did not have 5 pictures in it so we went to the 6th folder and chose the 5th picture. This picture was taken January 5 of 2005. This is one of my first times in the snow and as you can see it was very deep and I sunk down pretty far.

We are terrible at choosing others for these things because it seems to be by the time our Mom gets around to doing these, they have been passed around. It is a fun meme so if anyone would like to do it then go for it.

Wordy Wednesday

This is an old picture of us. We never lay together anymore like this and mom wishes we would be more nice to one another. We have some news about our dad that we would like to share. Our mom and dad went to his followup appointment about his biopsy and his sleep study. We didn't get such great news, but it is not all bad either. With the sleep study they found that dad was stopping breathing every 30 seconds. That is not such good news but they are going to give him a CPAP machine that will make him stop snoring and make him get some good sleep. His snoring has been going on for 10 years so we can't wait for him to finally sleep well and allow mom and the new baby to sleep as well. As for the biopsy on his larynx they found moderate dysplasia. Mom says that dysplasia means abnormal cells. There are 3 forms before they are cancerous, mild, moderate, severe. That they found it at all is just a lucky break and our dad is only 25 (which seems old to us) is good. Now our dad has to go every 6 weeks to get the camera thing shoved up his nose and down his throat to keep an eye on it. If anything returns they will take it out. Most people who have this type are heavy smokers and when they find anything on the larynx it is later in life. Our dad does not smoke but did grow up around smoking. We would like to encourage anyone who smokes to stop and think about what you could be doing to your body but more importantly, look at the others around you, especially kids. Enough of the doom and gloom. We will need continuous purrs from everyone through this but we are glad that we have the ability to know this early and to keep an eye on it. As for our mom, she goes to the doctor today to checkup on the baby and hopefully schedule some sort of picture taking of it inside her. This sounds weird but we'll let you know how it goes. Oh, and its snowing again. Maybe another 4 inches by tonight. Mom will take a picture to show later. Sorry for the wordy post.

Caturday

We hope everyone had a very good Thanksgiving. Even though our mom and dad were gone they came back today and brought with them some turkey and some pumpkin pie for us. When they came home something else was going on outside. It is hard to tell from the pictures but it is snowing. It has snowed a couple times this winter but it never sticks to the ground. Mom of course, scoops us up and makes us go out and see the snow. We don't really care for the cold outside. We are not savages, we require heat and 12 square meals a day. It is really good to have our humans home again. It is kind of boring without them around and we don't get fed as often. Now we are going to rest with mom and look out the window. We are going to try to visit some friends too. It is hard to get around to everyone and comment, but we are always reading the posts. Oh, we've done some Christmas card exchanges on other blogs but if anyone wants a card from us or would like to exchange cards we would be delighted to send them out. Just email us at kaltsaskats at gmail dot com.

Cats love Obama!

Well, the election is over and boy are we tired. We stayed up late to watch Obama's speech. Mom and dad are so happy that we finally have a President who is going to be an inspirational speaker and not one that makes them cringe or laugh when he opens his mouth. The weather is starting to change now and it makes us said. We had mid 70's the past two days and will be down to 30's by Friday. They are also talking about the terrible white stuff called snow. Mom always has us go out in the first snow that sticks and takes our picture. Seems cruel if you ask me.

Nemo has to go to the vet tomorrow to have his eye looked at. It seems like each year at this time his eye gets really irritated. We are out of drops so back to the vet. We all think he is just allergic to himself. Our dad is also having some surgery on Friday so we will be worried and pacing the floor until we hear things are ok for him.
