The Cat On My Head: Toe Bean Abstract Art

We guessed Kizmet's toe beans, and were correct. 

15AndMeowing: Awwww.....Monday

We threw our paw in the air for a red-white-and-blue shirt, and we won!

Cheeto at Cats Veterinary, Clinton Township Michigan

We received a HUGE boxful of stuff from The Cat On My Head; see the top pic.

Another package arrived from 15AndMeowing, and Manny was pressed into service; see 2nd pic.

The third pic is Cheeto, a resident cat at Cats Veterinary, where Chili Bruce and Manny were being treated in an unmannerly way (according to them) yesterday morning.

That why Manny was easy to dress, as all of his fight was gone.

Those bald patches on Manny's head, plus scabs or sores on his chinny-chin-chin made The Hubby nervous, and he decided it was time for an expert opinion.

CB went along too, just in case they share some skin issue.

While Da Boyz were having a blood draw, a pawdicure, and other indignities, Cheeto wandered into the room to help me destress by allowing me to love on his amble ginger torso.

We are additionally thankful that we have a great veterinary staff, as they found really nothing wrong with Manny (unless the chin area doesn't clear up in a reasonable timeframe) but CB lost a bit of weight and has some bad toofs.

Dental for CB is scheduled for July 21.

Could be that CB was overgrooming is brofur due to his ouchie mouth, thereby causing the bald patches.

Thank you, The Cat On My Head and 15AndMeowing, and Cheeto too.

Let's Hop!

Take Me To Your Feeder

7/2 is World UFO Day, and some of us believe that cats are from outer space, so...

7/2/1924 is the date of the UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico.

Bonne Fête du Canada

Canada Day, formerly known as Dominion Day, is the national day of Canada. 

A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867,

I'm so bad, I vacation in Canada even though I'm American, and the Canadians didn't try to kick me out!

Hahaha.

I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, and since Canada Day is July 1 and Independence Day is July 4, there is an annual fireworks display on the Detroit River so both Detroiters and Windorites could celebrate together on either side.

Plus, we Michiganians could tune into Canadian radio and television, so I grew up watching hockey, and singing along to O Canada.

American TV didn't cover NHL Hockey back then very much.

Where Eastside Cats is located on a map shows that we are actually NORTH of parts of Ontario.

Yes, we are NORTH OF CANADA.

*smug mode*

We have the highest respect for our Canadian neighbors, because we've always felt we were simply two sides of the same coin.

Good on ya, Canada!
