Going to the vet!

We have been using the World's Best Cat Litter now for a week. I think it is working pretty well. I know Nemo is using it but I never see Patches in the litterbox. We still have another litter box with the regular litter in it. We were happy that not only are we using a cat litter that isn't full of chemicals, it is also made in Iowa, where we live. That makes us happy.

In other news, it looks like Nemo needs to go back to the vet. His eye is getting all read and goopy again. We battle this every year it seems like. We are also going to see what the vet says about Nemo's weight. Mom is concerned, Nemo has been on the diet of dry food but continues to eat wet food and other food but he looks so thin. We are going to see what the vet says.

Litter Help

Sorry we have been absent. Our mommy has been sick on and off for a month so she was too lazy and tired to help us blog. We have been visiting though, just not commenting. We have a problem and really need the help of the cat blogosphere.

We have been using Fresh Step litter since the beginning of time. We have two, sifting covered cat boxes. Mom is sick of the litter dust and litter getting stuck in our paws. She is also sick of feeling that she is being bad to the environment by using all this icky cat litter. We have been trying to get away from chemicals as much as possible and have been really paying attention to our food and what is in it. Now we want to look into different litter solutions. Mom and Dad went to Petsmart today and they purchased feline pine clumping and World's Best Cat Litter. We are going to try them both and see what we like. The idea of flushing our litter clumps sounds great. Much better than putting in a walmart sack like we usually do. Can you tell us what kind of litter you use and if anyone has recommendations that would be great. I'm hoping to not have to purchase 2 new litter boxes but will if need be. So please help us figure out what is the best non-clay based cat litter.

Look what we got!

So we have been searching Hallmarks for this and we gave up finding it. Then Mom and Dad made a quick stop in a store and found the whole section and low and behold there was the card. Mom and Dad jumped around and told the people they were with that they knew the cat on the front and that we were all a part of the cat blogosphere. Boy, did they learn their lesson. Don't mention that your cat blogs and that you read other cat blogs and expect people to take you seriously. Oh well!

And just an update from all the comments. We cannot imagine going to the vet any other way than on our leashes. We have both only been in a PTU when we went for surgeries so we do not even like to see that thing. On the diet front, Nemo was sitting on our regular scale and it said 14lbs. Now that might not be accurate but he looks a lot thinner already. He has learned how to knock a bag of food over and get into it now so we have to keep things put away. We are also not that strict on that diet so Nemo does get to eat some people food and his regular stinky goodness and treats. We have cut down on fancy feast to only once a week so that seems to be making the biggest difference.

Vet Visit-Thursday 13

So we haven't been on to blog because we are hissed off. Here are 13 things we heard when we went to the vet.

1. Wow those cats do well on leashes.
2. You guys are so pretty and handsome.

3. Wow, that is a big cat.

4. Bark, Bark

5. That bump on Patches foot must be some sort of wart.

6. The dandruff is probably more annoying for the people than the cat.

7. Don't be scared.

8. You only need one shot today.

9. Everything checks out good.

10. We will see you again next year.

11. Patches weights 11.19 lbs

12. Nemo weighs 16.8lbs

13. We need to put you guys on a DIET!

We've been on the diet for a month. Patches isn't much of a problem but it is easier to put them both on the diet because Nemo will eat her food anyway. Nemo seems to be lighter as it isn't as painful as he walks on us and his harness is looser. But boy does he meow for his food in the morning. We hope to get on more often. Stay tuned for more pictures.

Happy 6 month Birthday to our brother Owen.

Wordless Wednesday

Oh My Cats!

Nemo here. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the blog to wish me a happy birthday. I wanted to post earlier about my birthday coming up and then about my birthday but I've been real lazy. I also just got out of my nip coma from my birthday. My mom thinks I might have a problem. See, I'm a nip addict and I'm a mean one at that. I accidentally bit my mom because she had been giving us pinches of nip and I thought her hand was nip. Once you get on that nip, it does funny things to your vision. I just wanted to share some pictures from my birthday. I didn't get a tuna cake because for the last couple weeks we have periodically ran out of stinky goodness and the humans were too lazy to go to the store so we have been getting tuna some days. Sounds like we should run out of stinky goodness more often.

Here I am eating a catnip cane. I'm intense.
This is my mean face. I was trying to eat the catnip sprinkles.I got the munchies and mom shared her vanilla pudding, even though I bit her.

I had a great birthday. It is actually my gotcha day though. We aren't real sure when I was borned but I was brought home on labor day. Oh well, a party is a party.
