Mancat Monday

Hi everyone, it's mes, Carmine!

Things is getting a little chaotic around heres.  The other day, the Mom went to get some boxes, and hers put thems in the way of my pink cube.  That's where mes talks to Jewel.  Mes couldn't talk to Jewel for a whole night!  The Mom saw that mes wanted my pink cube, so hers moved the boxes out of the way for mes.  

Mes has been laying in the boxes.  If mes lays in thems, then the Mom can't fill thems up, and wes won't has to go anywheres!

The Mom tells mes it will be nice to has more space.  Mes loves to lay near Litas, as yous can see in the photo.  Do yous think LItas will let mes lay by hers when there is two rooms or do yous think hers will tell mes to go in the other room?  

Mancat Monday

Hi everyone, it's mes, Carmine!

Last Wednesday, the apartment management peoples did apartment inspections on the whole building.  While theys was heres, mes heard something awful.  The apartment manager lady told the Mom that a one-bedroom apartment is becoming available soon, and hers told the Mom to start packing 'cause wes is next in line for a one-bedroom!  If yous didn't know, wes currently live in a very tiny studio - our main living space is a 10 x 12 room!

Mes wented and hid under the bed when the management peoples were here, so mes thought maybe mes heard wrong.

But then, the Mom was yapping about how hers needs to get some boxes to pack things in to move!!  Hers had brought my Chewy box in with my our monthly shipment of noms in it. 

Tabby Tuesday with Some Good News from Milita

Hi everyone, it's me, Lita today.  I know you missed me, right?  

It has been very crazy around here the past six weeks.  The Mom had been waiting on various waiting lists for housing for three years, and her name finally got to the top of a list.  Everything happened very fast after that.  The Mom put her 30-day notice in at our old place and started packing us up to move.  Carmine had a nasty pancreatitis flare because he got all stressed out from the packing.  Then we moved - ON MY 14TH BIRTHDAY!  What a present......MOL.  

We did really well with the actual moving.  It was the packing that stressed us out a lot more than actually coming to our new place.  I hid for most of the first night, but I am quite happy now.  

And do you know what?!

I have only had TWO ASTHMA ATTACKS since we moved here over two weeks ago!!  I was having asthma attacks at least once a day at our old place.  

The Mom said she knew the old building was making me very sick, but she still didn't expect this much of a dramatic difference in my breathing.  The Mom thinks that the spray they used to kill pests at the old place was partly to blame for all the problems, but she also thinks there are other things going on in the building that make it unhealthy - but she doesn't know what, exactly.  All she knows is that we have been sprayed here, too, to deal with the stragglers that followed us here, and I haven't coughed even once since we got sprayed.  The Mom says she feels better, too.  She isn't having those nasty sinus headaches all the time, and she's not reaching for a tissue every five minutes anymore.  

Thankful Thursday Amidst the Chaos

Hi everyone, it's mes, Carmine!  

The house is in chaos - everything keeps changing, and mes doesn't like it one bit!  Mes ams still stressed out over it all, but the Mom thinks that the Feliway diffuser is helping mes a little because mes is eating a little more than mes was last week.  Hers gives mes the delicious a/d when mes doesn't feel like eating much, and mes always loves to gobble that down!  Then mes laughs 'cause Lita tries to come and clean up my crumbs, and the Mom takes it away from hers and says, "Lita, you don't need a/d, pumpkin."  (Don't worry, Lita always gets hers own snack when mes has one).

The Mom talked to the vet about mes stress, and the vet prescribed mes something called Xanax.  The Mom hasn't given mes any yet, but hers says hers will a few days before wes make the move so mes will not be so stressed.  Hers says it will make mes feel sleepy and happy.  

The Mom still does not has a move-in date, but hers and the new apartment manager is planning for the move next weekend.  The Mom says the "higher ups are dragging their feets!"  Hers says that "the Big Guy Upstairs" has this, but hers is a worrywart and worries anyways.  So if yous would like to send purrs and/or prayers that all the moving plans fall into place, hers would appreciate it very much.  

Mancat Monday: Some News

Hi everyone, it's mes, Carmine!

How is everyone doing?  

Guess what?  The Mom says wes are moving soon!  The Mom has had hers name on waiting lists for three years, and hers finally got to the top of one.  

Mes sure does like the boxes that have made their way out, but mes sure doesn't like all the change.  Mes ams very stressed.  Mes is having a flare up of the pancreatitis.  The Mom has been giving mes nice pain medicine in addition to my daily anti-nausea stuff.  The pain medicine sure tastes horrible, but it does make my tummy feel good enough for mes to eat.  

The Mom bought mes a Feliway diffuser refill and hopes this will help mes be less stressed.  Hers is trying to keep hers own stress level down because hers knows it affects mes, but mes can still tell that hers is stressed, too.  

Mes and Lita will keep you posted on the move here and on the Mom's Facebook.  

Wes hope yous all are doing well.  Wes really miss visiting with yous!  The Mom is going to try helping us visit yous all a little more.  

Mancat Monday

Carmine's enjoying the couch at our new place.  

The babies adjusted pretty well.  Milita was angry for the first day, but she calmed down.  She's happy again now. :)

We look forward to getting to catch up with you all finally!!

We're Moved!

We wanted to let everyone know that we are now moved in to our new place.  It is still quite a mess as I have a lot to unpack, but I am doing my best to pace myself with the pain and all.

A couple of days before we left our old place, we received a set of pots and pans!!!  I cannot find my little receipt to save my life right now, so I'm so sorry I can't thank you specifically - yet - but we really, really appreciate the gift!!  I seriously don't know what I would have done if those hadn't come because I had almost nothing to cook with.  They came at the absolute perfect time!

The babies are handling the changes all right.  It's odd.....I was really worried about Carmine and yet he took it MUCH better than I thought he would.  I wasn't all that worried about Milita because she seems to like exploring new places, but she was rather upset this time.  I think it has a lot to do with being away from the roommates she really liked at our old place.  I think she misses them, especially her favorite one.

Milita was hiding for the majority of each day from Saturday until this evening.  She's finally out here exploring, bugging me, playing - doing all the things she usually would, so I think she's less upset now :)

We just wanted to give everyone an update.  We hope you are all well and having a good week!
