Deer Licks and Loves Cat

Tweet

Hoppy the deer loves her kitty buddy, Tiptree! And the two of them like to groom each other and snuggle up and be best buds!

Hoppy was found as an abandoned fawn on a doorstep, and the people decided to raise her. She got big and strong, and made a best friend along the way! I was trying to find updates (this video is not new), and it looks like maybe they released her and continued to see her after.

Adorable love!

Cats and Dogs Who Hate Kisses

Tweet

Why is it that our kitties and doggies never want us to smooch them? If they don't like kisses, then they should be so darn smoochable, right?

Here's a funny compilation of cats and dogs denying their mommies and daddies a kiss. No kiss for you!


P.S. We're back! I can't believe it's been a month since the last Cute post. Bad me! This cute video had to be here though, so let's get back to it!

P.P.S. This weekend is another transport weekend! Even though I haven't been posting here as much, we've still been helping kitties just as much! Four special kitties are hitting the road on Saturday from Florida to Wisconsin and Michigan!

You Know You Love Your Cat When...

Tweet

Do you ever catch yourself doing something for your kitty and just stop and think, "Man, this is love." Even just the littlest thing?

Last night I had one of those moments. Pimp had decided he was done with his dinner, and I disagreed. As far as I was concerned, he had barely touched it (he likes to just lick the surface of his wet food... "bite" isn't really in his vocabulary, so he never actually takes a decent bite), so I decided to feed him.

Yes, feed him.

That brown belly needed feeding! 

I know he always likes his treats better out of my hand than from the floor, so I tried the same tactic with his wet food. I scooped up a small clump of a bite and offered it to him in my hand, palm up with the food near the tips of my fingers. And he dove in!

I'm not sure if it was the "bite"-sized piece or the fact that I was feeding it to him like that, but I've never seen that boy lick faster or eat that enthusiastically in a long time. So after about 10 licks when that clump was done, I grabbed another bit and did the same. And again and again.

With each bit, it seemed like he was getting happier and happier about it. My hand was absolutely plastered with smooshed down, licked over mushy cat food, but I felt like I was getting happier with every bit he ate too.

Man, this is love.

An old picture of me hand-feeding Pimp a catnip cookie. He loves to be babied. 

Together we managed to finish off a half a plate of food like that -- way more than he would have ever eaten on his own. It's not that he doesn't eat, it's just that Moo and Phantom end up cleaning up his leftovers before he gets the urge to walk over for seconds. Pimp likes to take his time with his food, a practice that doesn't really bode will in a house of piggies.

Now that I know how much he'll eat if we do it like that, and how much he likes it, you can bet I'll have a hand full of wet food way more often. Who wouldn't? It's just what we do for love.

I'm not sure why that was such a moment for me, but I wanted to share it with you all. I'm glad I shared it with Pimp! Pimp is almost 15 years old and my biggest worry is that he's almost 15 years old. Whatever he wants, however he wants it, he can have.

Do you have moments like this? What kinds of things do you do for your cats for love?

Man, I love this cat.

Three Cats Thursday: Pimp, Moo, Phantom... and a Baby Lamb!

Tweet

Happy Three Cats Thursday, Cuteheads! I wanted to catch you all up on what we've been up to since I haven't posted in a little while -- and show you the cutest baby lamb I got to meet!

First, a few of you have emailed me just checking in to see how we were doing since I haven't posted. You are all so sweet! We are all doing great. I just got back from a little vacation to North Carolina and feel fabulous. The boys did pretty good at home while I was gone. A friend of mine watched them, but obviously they missed their mommy. I'm glad to be back!

Now, on to the Cute!

Last week, Phantom tried to be a daredevil... and then didn't know how to get out of the situation he got himself in. He somehow jumped up on top of the shower stall!

Uh oh. Now what?

Moooommmm... Come get me, OK?

I heard some kind of noise as I was brushing my teeth and then looked back and there he was. He was basically tight-rope walking up there, and I had to reach up and grab him. He hugged me so tight on the way down! I bet he doesn't try to pull that stunt anymore.

Now let's get some Pimp and Moo in here...

Look how cute they were snuggling (this is as close as they snuggle, you guys!). This particular cat bed is hot property. They all use it, and it's like first come, first served. Someone is always on it!

I let Pimp have the bed today because he an old man, and elderly first!

And next... let's talk about this baby lamb! Oh my goodness, he was the highlight of my vacation!

I went to my parent's house near Asheville, NC, and we visited the Biltmore Estate. A friend of mine works there (you might remember George Ricci from the Save Loews Cats mission a couple years ago!), and so he was able to get us to where no one else can really go.

We visited the sheep barn on the property and got to meet so many cuties! I'll post more about them later -- one was a cat, of course! -- but I wanted to show you this cute baby lamb!

One of the farmers brought out this adorable one-day-old baby lamb for us! I thought he was just bringing him out to show us, but when he started to hand him over to me, I am pretty sure my mouth dropped. I got so excited!

And so this was me for the next five minutes... Happy happy happy!

Ah! He was the size of a cat. And so cute. And he baaaaaaaaed so loud! I couldn't stop kissing him.

I wanted to take him home!

Could you just die?! He was so cute! He was the runt of the litter, and so they took him to bottle feed him since his mom was rejecting him. Who would reject such an adorable nugget? He even had his umbilical cord still attached. So cute!

Thanks for keeping checking in on us, everyone! I will do my best to post more. I love sharing with you all!

Three Cats Thursday: Phantom's Nose, Moo's Wake-Up Tactic and Pimp Wants Pot Roast

Tweet

Happy Three Cats Thursday, Cuteheads! Today the boys wanted to give you a little bit of a buffet of kitty cuteness. Just some random stuff they did this week!

First up, Moo wanted to show you how he wakes me up every morning. The pictures are not the best since it is dark (he wakes up early!), but I just think they are super cute because it's really what we do every morning! He is such a love bug.

First I give mom's nose the side head rub.

The the front head butt.

And then back to the side head rub. Now she's gets up and feeds me!

And then Phantom wants you to smooch his adorable black nose!

You can't decide whether to smooch or boop me, right?

And last, but definitely not least (no one puts Pimpy in the corner!), Pimp wants to show you how serious he is about wanting some of my dinner all the time. This is his "Give me some of your pot roast" face. He means business.

Pot roast, I'm watching you.
