It was Cloud, not me

Mom put batteries in her flashy box and says this is the evidence photo.

Dad, the cat who knocked all the stuff off the table near your computer was Cloud. Because it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS Cloud who jumps up on the table. I NEVER do that. The cat in this picture is Cloud, it's just that the flash made my furs look lighter. Oops, I mean HER furs look lighter. Yeah, that's it.

No Evidence

Mom's camera battery died so she can't retrieve the photos she calls "Evidence" right now. So here is a photo that Dad took on his camera instead.
See, I'm innocent.

Help Mom Choose!

Cloud: Mom says she needs everykitty's help deciding something, but we aren't allowed to know about it yet. Hmmm...

Mom: OK kitties, Ann from Zoolatry emailed the kittens some updated blog header choices recently. This was convenient, because they will be ONE YEAR OLD soon (July 2nd). I intercepted the kittens email and have posted the sample
So, I am opening up voting on the two headers that Ann sent, and the one with more votes will be the new header. The headers are below, and you can click on them to bigify.
Thanks for voting! There will be a poll posted on the right side, and polling will be available until June 30th.
OPTION 1:


OPTION 2:

International Box Day

We let the "Cat out of the box" early yesterday by mistake, so we gave Mom the bitey and made her fix it!!

Zoolatry had a wonderful idea. Today is International Box Day and we will post photos of us in boxes. Also, Mom asked that we showcase a photo of our one who came before, Texas, in a box too. He loved his Utz box.

We'll start with the Big Guy and his UTZ box.
Look Left.



Look Right.

OK, safe to sleep in the box.


So, now Niko in some boxes. All of the photos below are old, so you can see us a little tiny kittens again, but most of them are also "out-takes", so you've seen similar photos as these, but not these exact ones. Enjoy!







Now ME in a box.




Lastly, here we are sharing a box.

Awardie!

We got an award from Socks,Scylla,Charybdis, and Fenris.

Mom switched to an overnight shift a few weeks ago, and so she's been adjusting to the new schedule and has had trouble keeping up with the blog since then. She thinks she's finally getting adjusted to it though. The problem is it's been so long since we got the award (we tried to post last week but blogger was not letting us upload the photo, and then Mom got busy again) that we don't know who has already got it so we can't pass it along. But thanks so much for this awardie!

Test Results from the V-E-T

Mystery # 2 is solved! (Mystery #1 was the mystery of the Red Bump, which was fleas. Mystery # 2 is mystery of the Cat Pee)

Cloud:
Well, it seems that it was probably ME peeing all over the house, but I won't tell.
The V-E-T called Dad Sunday and told him that Niko's pee was normal, but mine had crystals in it. They asked Dad if there was still somecat peeing around the house, and there isn't, and there is normal pee in the boxes. So they said for now just keep us on the antibiotics to be safe, and hopefully my crystals were a reaction to the stress from the fleas. If any more pee is found around the house or if I show any other symptoms I will have to get more tests to find out more about my crystals, the doctor said it may turn out that I have stones. Has any other cat had crystals in their pee before? Mom is a little worried because she's never had a cat with crystals before and she doesn't really know what to make of this. (Okay, she's worried because Mom worries a lot in general but shh I didn't say that).
Thanks for all your purrs and comments- advice welcome.

P.S. Oh and we also got an award last week. We didn't forget, Mom says we will announce it formally very soon.

Pills!!

Niko: We tried being cute. We tried pretending to be asleeps.

Cloud:We also refused to pee anymore after being separated. So we figured she would just not take us to the V-E-T. But instead, she took both of us!

The mystery of my overgrooming and red bump is solved! I have FLEAS :(
So did Niko. The V-E-T thinks maybe one of us just got stressed enough to start going outside of the litterbox. But she sent us both home with antibiotics and took samples of our pee (wierd!) just in case one of us has a UTI. We also got Flea goop that the beans have to put on us once a month. Neither of us peed outside the box today, so Mom thinks we must be feeling better.

Oh No's

Niko: Oh No's!

Why are we being separated? Why did you call the V-E-T?
Cloud:MOM! We don't know anything about all the pee puddles in the house! We swear!

Mom: Somecat has a V-E-T appointment at 3:30 EST today, hopefully I'll be able to tell who is peeing everywhere by then. I suspect Niko, since he had the pee problem last time, but last time he didn't want to pee at all, this time somecat is peeing everywhere.
