Bailey: So, I was happily snoozing away on the bed in a nice big sunny spot, when Mom picked me up. That is NEVER a good sign. Mom knows I don't like to be held, and the only time she does this it's not a good thing! I was right, she put me in "the crate", then the car, and took me to the V..E..T.
Tatiana: Ha ha, I didn't have to go!
The Dog: why are you in there, why are you in there, huh? huh?
Bailey: So, fine. We get to the V..E..T, and we go into a small room right away. I can hear Mom telling the V..E..T about my fat lower lip, although the swelling has already gone down. He asked who bopped me in the mouth, and they were LAUGHING. HEY HEY!! This is not the time for jokes, humans! Get me outta here! Then, I got plopped onto a table. Hey, there's a window, cool....Hey, wait, what are you doing to me? Don't..do..that. Catpals, I squirmed and wailed and meowed and howled...
Tatiana: Hold on a second. I've been to the V..E..T with you before, and that is not how you ever behave. Admit it.
Bailey: Sigh...fine...I purred and headbutted...please don't be ashamed of me.
Tatiana: PShht, what kind of cat are you?
Bailey: The same as you, Tatiana - you behave at the V..E..T, too!
Tatiana: Busted...grumble, grumble.
Bailey: Can I finish now?
Tatiana: Whatever.
Bailey: After the poking and prodding, the V..E..T left the room for a few minutes. They let me look around the room which was pretty neat . Nice window, checked out the exam table, went under the chair, headbutted Mom and made her pet me and fuss over me. When the V..E..T came back he said I had Eosinophilic Plaques, which is basically a sore, most likely caused by an allergic reaction. He said it is likely to re-occur, and if the swelling lasts several days to come back in, and he would give me a cortisone shot. SHOT???? I don't like the sound of that! Mom is currently in research mode, but if any of you cats out there have experienced this, we'd love to hear from you!
Tatiana: Is it contagious? I don't want your icky stuff, ya know. At least give it to The Dog.
Bailey: Nope, not contagious. After all of that, Mom brought me home and told me what a good girl I was. Then she gave me CHICKEN - meowza!!! I gave her more headbutts then took off to catch up on my naptime.
The Dog: Where ya been? Where'd ya go? Huh? Huh? Oh, a cookie, thanks!
Bailey: My cat brag of the day is that I now weigh 12 lbs. After about 4 years of "dieting", I've dropped 8 lbs - Mom is so proud of me!!
Cats need a place to express themselves. To meow, purr, and have some fun.

This week it's Bailey's Birthday!
Tatiana: It's Bailey's birthday this week. I asked Mom what she was going to give her, and Mom said she has no idea. So, I said I would ask all my cat pals for suggestions!! Bailey isn't into treats, and doesn't play much, but she still likes to race around the kitchen with her toys now and then.
Also, Bailey has a (gasp!) vet visit on Wednesday. She has a fat lower lip, and Mom wants to get it checked out. Bailey or I will post afterwards to keep you all updated.

Mom, Stop Screaming
Mom came home today and when she opened the door, the dog and Tatiana were there to greet her. Mom said "Where's Bailey?". You see, I am always by the door when Mom comes home. Always. ALWAYS.
Mom walked down the hall, calling for me, but did not find me. "Bailey, where are you? Where's my Bailey Girl?". Mom was getting a little worried. I am always at the door. ALWAYS. Mom told the dog to find me. He did nothing.
Then. Mom walked into the kitchen. There I was, lying down, looking up her. Looking smug. Mom said "Bailey, are you ok? What's wrong?". Then. Mom looked beside me and saw it. She thought it was one of our many toys. The ears looked rounder than she remembered though. Then, she noticed the tail. Mom said she pretty much froze in her spot, realizing I had caught a mouse.
YUP, I caught a mouse! Mom started screaming and ran out of the house. She really did, I'm not kidding. The dog looked very confused. Tatiana went to look for her, and saw her texting Dad, telling him about the mouse and "TO GET HOME NOW."
Mom did come back inside. She kept screaming if Tatiana or I went near the mouse. Why was she screaming?? I did a good thing!
Dad finally came home, got a box, and took the mouse away. Why did he do that? That was my trophy to show off to everyone. I looked around for it afterwards, but it was gone.
Hey, maybe I"ll find another one!
(You better, NOT, Bailey!!!).

Sharing
We do not share most things. Once in awhile, to give Mom some exercise, we will curl up together. This makes Mom go running for the camera. Last week, we decided we had been slacking in our motivational moments for Mom and totally surprized her by sharing the ledge in front of the window.

Sharing
Mom is fostering 2 gorgeous black cats right now. They are beginning to be friends. Their names are Rose and Prism. Today, they shared some yummy canned food, so Mom thought Sharing would be a good theme for Wordless Wednesday. Although, we have not been wordless at all, oops!

Rescued Cat Poem
If you have adopted a cat, fostered a cat, volunteer with cats, or just love cats, read this beautiful poem. Kleenex required.
Rescued Cat
Once I was a lonely cat,
just looking for a home.
I had no place to go,
no one to call my own.
I wandered up and down the streets,
in rain in heat and snow.
I ate what ever I could find,
I was always on the go.
My skin would itch, my feet were sore,
my body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat,
or gently say my name.
I never saw a loving glance,
I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me
was really lots of fun.
Then one day I heard a voice
so gentle, kind and sweet,
And arms so soft reached down to me
and took me off my feet.
"No one again will hurt you,"
was whispered in my ear.
"You'll have a home to call your own
where you will know no fear."
"You will be dry, you will be warm,
you'll have enough to eat,"
"and rest assured that when you sleep,
your dreams will all be sweet."
I was afraid I must admit,
I've lived so long in fear.
I can't remember when I let
a human come so near.
And as she tended to my wounds,
and bathed and brushed my fur.
She told me about the rescue group
and what it meant to her.
She said, "We are a circle,
a line that never ends."
"And in the center there is you
protected by new friends."
"And all around you are
the ones that check the pounds,
and those that share their home
after you've been found."
"And all the other folk
are searching near and far."
"To find the perfect home for you,
where you can be a star."
She said, "There is a family,
that's waiting patiently,
and pretty soon we'll find them,
just you wait and see."
"And then they'll join our circle
they'll help to make it grow,
so there'll be room for more like you,
who have no place to go."
I waited very patiently,
the days they came and went.
Today's the day I thought,
my family will be sent.
Then just when I began to think
it wasn't meant to be,
there were people standing there
just gazing down at me.
I knew them in a heart beat,
I could tell they felt it too.
They said, "We have been waiting
for a special cat like you."
Now every night I say a prayer
to all the gods that be.
"Thank you for the life I live
and all you've given me.
But most of all protect the cats
in the pound and on the street.
And send a Rescue Person
to lift them off their feet."

Wayside Waifs Wednesday - Featured Cat!
Hey everyone, this week we are featuring an extra special kitty, so please be sure to forward this on to everyone you know, ok?
Share Bear came from a hoarding situation. There were about 20 cats, and Share Bear is the last one. It's sad that he is still waiting for his forever home. He has been waiting a very long time. He is such a terrific cat, so let's all help him to get adopted, puh-lease!
Learn about Share Bear by clicking on his photo. Thanks!

NEW TV SHOW ALERT!!
OH MY CATNESS!!! There is a new TV show called Must Love Cats. Mom is really excited and can not wait to watch it. She already has it programmed to record the series! Make sure your moms and dads know about it, too! We are very excited.
Must Love Cats is a celebration of fascinating felines and the fascinating people who love them.
From cats that saved their owners' lives to swanky cat-only hotels, the series spans the realm of all things "cat." It offers a potpourri of amazing feline stories, jam-packed with interesting factoids and trivia bits.
The show is hosted by musician John Fulton, who combines his love for ditties with kitties. He is on a mission to prove to himself and the world that America is filled — north to south, east to west — with cat lovers, and is in fact a Cat-nation.

Two Cats Are Better Than One!
Way to go, MOM, for missing Wayside Waifs Wednesday! Sheesh, she has no excuse, so now we are trying to make up for her laziness/forgetfulness. We know Mom loves all the kitties at Wayside though, so I guess we'll let it slide THIS TIME.
So, we are going to feature 2 pairs of cats that need to go home together! Did you know having 2 cats is better than one? Yes, it is true!! Even though we tolerate each other, we play together and once in awhile can be spotted curled up together. We keeps each other company! And, we torment the dog too, bwa hahahaha.
Our first dynamic duo is Mini Mouse & Velvet. Velvet is the black cat, and Mini Mouse is the Torti. These 2 are littermates and are very bonded to one another. They get along fine with other laid back cats, as these 2 can be quite shy at first. But, they are very friendly and love to get attention. They have been waiting to go home for a very long time. To learn more about them, please click on their photo.
Little Grey & Sparky came from the same home. They are having a hard time adjusting to being in a shelter environment and are still quite shy. Sparky is a little more outgoing. Grey prefers a quiet area, and would prefer you to speak quietly to her as well. They are both gorgeous cats, and would be so much happier in a home with a loving family. To learn more about them, please click on their photo.
