Lovely Luke
Today I am sending Mom off to Denver to attend Blog Paws 2010 West. She's going out there to learn how to improve my bloggie. I can't wait to see what she learns and how we will change things. I'm hoping to be able to tell more happy stories about kitties at Wayside Waifs that have found their forever homes like I did. This is one of those stories!
Luke is a special kitty who did find his forever home recently. When he first arrived at Wayside, his right eye was kind of messed up. The V-E-Ts at Wayside had to remove it, so now he only has one eye.
When Mom met him he wasn't feeling very good and had a yucky tummy. He seemed so grateful to her to have a lap to cuddle in, rather than laying in his kennel on his towel. Mom sat on the floor and he got right in her lap and napped there for the longest time. Soon, Mom had to go home, but she kept thinking about Luke. She worried about his upset tummy and if the right family would come along to give this one-eyed kitty a good home.
Mom didn't have to worry for long though...she checked in with another volunteer a few days later and learned that Luke had been adopted! This makes me want to purr with joy! There are so many kitties in the shelter and some of them are a little different from other kitties or have special needs. I'm glad there are families out there willing to take in all kinds of kitties, even the one-eyed kitties like Luke!

Thumper the One-Eared Bunny
Mom usually cuddles the kitties when she volunteers as Wayside Waifs in Kansas City. She likes to spend time with them because they don't get as much attention as the doggies do-they have tons of volunteers and always get more volunteer hours than the cats.
Last week, as Mom was going to the back of the shelter to visit the cats not yet available for adoption, she did something a little different. There's a little room on the way where an adoptable bunny, Thumper, is staying. Mom usually walks by and says, "Hi Thumper" then keeps going on about her kitty business. This time was different, though. She decided to go in the little room and hang out with Thumper.
Thumper is a special girl. You see, she only has one ear. Rumor has it that a cat got a hold of her and hurt her ear. The hurt ear ended up having to be removed, but it doesn't seem to bother her. I think it makes her unique! For the record, I, as a cat, would NEVER hurt a little bunny like that.
Mom said Thumper really liked to be petted and sat in front of her enjoying all the stroking Mom would give. She nibbled a bit on Mom's shoes and jeans, but was very sweet. I really hope somebody gives her a good home soon, she would make a great addition to a family!
I think Mom would take her treats this week if she knew more about bunnies and what they like to eat. Do you have any ideas?

Anipal Photo Hunt #4: MY BED
This is the fourth installment of Cokie The Cat's "Anipal Photo Hunt". It's all about "My Bed". Well, I must say, I tend to sleep all over the place. Mom bought me my own bed when she adopted me but I would never sleep in it. Instead, I sleep wherever is most convenient.
If Mom's working, I sleep in her office on the futon.
Once she gets out of bed in the morning, I like to lay in her spot on the bed. Comfy!
When Grandma and Grandpa came to visit, I took a nap on the couch with Grandpa so he wouldn't feel alone.
At night, when it's bed time, I sleep at the end of the bed or right next to Mom. She calls me her cuddle bug! Nothing like a queen size bed to make a kitty happy!

Anipal Photo Hunt #3: MY FAVORITE TOY
This week's Anipal Photo Hunt is all about my favorite toy. You can see all of my toys behind me in this picture-I have a lot of them! Some of them came with the package Mom bought when she adopted me from Wayside Waifs, some were gifts from Grandma and some Mom got from the pet store-like my Nip Duck!
There are times when Mom is gone and I am bored that I go looking for one. She won't let me play with them when she's not watching me, so I have to search around to find where she's left one. Sometimes I can find one on the bathroom counter. Other times I can get up on the counter between the kitchen and living room and find one there. Those are the "JACKPOT" moments! Not only do I get to play with my favorite toy, but I get to go somewhere I'm not allowed to be (according to Mom).
But the toy I like to play with the most is right between my front paws. It's a simple ponytail holder. Mom has long hair and pulls it back in a ponytail a lot. She has tons of these hair ties all over the place. I discovered what a great plaything one makes when she took her hair down one evening and left the tie on the coffee table. I batted it off the table and all over the floor. What fun it was!
