Healing and resting

Dear furriends,

it has been a bit silent on our bloggie. We will have to say goodbye to the idea of daily blogging because our mom needs our help as student's cats. We all love blogging, but she doesn't get anything done without us. Sigh, a cat has to do what a cat has to do. We'll be around, don't worry, but just not as much.
But first of all I have some healing to do. You see, I had my spay surgery on Thursday and I just came back from an antinflammatory shot today. Boy, was I feeling miserable Thursday and Friday! I even threw up two times Thursday night. And that little sisfur of mine just ignores me instead of washing and snuggling me like I did when she had her surgery! At least she doesn't throw hissy fits so I have my peace. You might wonder why I had the surgery only now and not earlier. Well, initially I was meant to get a little bunch of Norwegian Forest Cats. But mom and I talked things through and we realised that this is not a good idea for multiple reasons. I'm sure I would have been a terrific mom and my kittens would have had the most beautiful floofy tails, but I'm equally fine just enjoying my life like it was with Chillimus and mom. I'll just baby Chilli instead. Ha!

With this going on it was a wonderful surprise - and purrfect timing - that we received a present from our dear furriends over at Quiltcat's Mewsings today. We didn't have a clue! It's a comfy cat mat and just the thing for me now. Mom got a cotton sachet filled with organic lavender, so we are all beaming with happiness. Last year we played Paw it Forward with mom Paula and like then she sent a really pretty selfmade card along. It's sitting on our bookshelf now right next to the other one. Thank you Paula and Sylvie, Louie, Fuzzy & Gingy, this was a genuine surprise!
On Monday I have to go back to the dreaded vet. Please keep paws crossed that I won't need to wear one of these cones. I have a plaster on the incision and didn't get to it so far. The vet said I'm doing fine and I already purred for mom yesterday.
Love,
Siena Snowfox

Finally Friday - Paw it forward

Mom Paula and her four quilt-loving cats Gingy, Silvie, Louie & Fuzzy played Paw it forward with us. It's a wonderful idea - here's some information about it:

"The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and 'pay it forward' in their own way.
This is how it works...
I am going to agree to send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to the first 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry. In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog.
There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? And, remember that kindness does not have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around."
Update: We are getting the impression that times are indeed that rough that most kitties can't play although they want to. So we changed the rules to "you can pick one Paw it forward furriend plus one than wants to play and comments on your blog". We've already chosen one furriend but there's still a vacancy! : )

Siena is inspecting the load.

Mom mostly looked forward to the card which she hoped would be hand crafted by mom Paula. Her hope came true - look at the lovely card! It conveys a beautiful message, don't you think?!We BOTH got a Boogie Mat. Mom was mumbling 'Oh, she shouldn't have!' the whole time.Check out Chilli's expression in this picture, it says it all. And mom hadn't even figured out at that point that there was nip to go inside! Hahahaha! She always just thought that the boogie mats looked pretty.Guess who slept for hours on the boogie mat right on the kitchen floor where we unpacked them?Mom got a sweet fridge magnet with Ruby-Throated Hummingsbirds. All three of us got really wide-eyed when we heard that they are native to North America. Maybe for different reasons, though...

Here you can see the hummingbirds watching over us from the oven door. Funny, normally WE watch the birdies, but we guess it's okay in this case as they are very special birdies. We love them!

Just in time Paula sent us this pawsome brush. Shedding has just started - and some of you might know what that means for a floofy kitty like Siena. Magically she likes the Zoom Groom. Chilli thought it was at least very whapable.

Here's the proof that we like the All natural Tempations with salmon very much! Temptations are called Dreamies over here and we don't have the All natural ones. Yummy!

Thank you very much Paula and our four fellow felines, we will put your pressies in good use! : )
Purrs, Siena & Chilli

P.S.: If you like to comment but not play Paw it forward just say so - even if we're young kitties we understand that these are rough times.
