Furtunately, neither one sampled the pills, and purrcaushuns was taken just in case they did. No erectail dysfunkshun goin on with these two curious boykits!

= Foster Care fur Villagers =

The TenHouseCats resently discobered that they were to be put in foster care fur awhie. Altho they wasn�t happy about it, they unnerstood that their mom would be away from home fur awhile (see �HOOMAN BEANS� below fur further infurmashun), and wouldn�t be able to take care of them. The THCs is in several nice homes around the Mew York state area, and hope to be reunited with their mom again before too long.

= Maple Syrupin =

Some of the kittens had a wunnerful time, and was quite purrductive resently, after they went out maple syrupin. They tapped trees, collected sap, and carefully boyled it all down into yummy maple syrup. Much of it was used on Pannacake Tudesday at EmCin�s Caf� at a huje pannacake brekfast, and it continues to be featured on a weekly brekfast menu there ... there�s a lotta syrup!

Poor Bayli got a the full monty ... shaved down to the skin on accounta she was matty (she don�t let SnowtaMom near her with a brush!). Ironically, Bayli has had a complete purrsonality chanje since then, and wants to cuddle more ... that�s a plus that her hubby Henri Wiscat is enjoyin!

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= SnowBunnaBean Whee
BunnaBean wasn�t feelin up to purr lately, and debeloped a lumpie on her neck. Wheesmom thot it mite be cansfur, but as it turned out, it was more like a cyst that had red stuff in it. So fur she is doing okey, but is still bein watched.

= Noblekits =
Several of the Noblekits, includin Greyboy, Gus, Gatito, and Thunder has been dealin with various illnesses or owies lately. Some dealt with respurratory or tummy issues, while others had eyegoopies and other stuff. So fur they is all doing betterer, and hope they continue to.

= Sassy Alasky =
Sassy resently was found to have a lumpy on her, and after some worried days while a bopsy was being purrocessed, releef finely came. Sassy was found to NOT have cansfur, and is doing better again.

= Kaeli & Becci Snowta =
Kaeli also developed a lumpy on her legg not long ago, and since she had cansfur last year, it was a scary time wait fur the vetdokter appoinkment. Lukkily, a needle bopsy showed that it had no mast (cansfur) cells, and mostly fat cells, so no cansfur!
Becci endured a repeet of a tummy upset episode like she had in Janyooary, with not eatin and barfin pink stuff all ober. Once again, she recobered within a few days, so it prolly an irritable tummy situashun or a food allerjy.

= Riley Catnip
Riley had some of his toofers out not long ago, and recobered from the eggsperiense okeydoke. He is bein watched in case any of his other toofers or mouf start gettin bad again.

= Valentine NY =
Valentine manajed to get himownself a case of the ringyworm not long ago, which resulted in a disgruntled household as they ALL had to get baffs and treetments. Hopefully the course is now done, and all are doing betterer.

= Loki & Grizz Meowzers
Loki, who was tootered a few months ago, has been givin pre-lessons to his lil bruther Grizz. Grizz is skeduled to be tootered him ownself on Monday, and wanted to be purrpared fur what would happen. Their pawrents, Kelby and Ashley Catnip-Snowta, has been purromisin lots of treets when the purrcedure is ober with.

= Bradley Kasiacat
Brad has been going back and forf with how he is feelin, and is still eggsperiensin difficulties gettin around with his leggs. He also havin trubbles gettin his tummy to adjust to his medisins, and he and his pawrents gotta deal with messy ooopsies now and then. As of late, he�d been doing not-too-bad, tho.

HOOMAN BEANS

= Aunty MaryChristine TenHouseCat =
Aunty MC resently underwent a quintuple bypass operashun on her heart, and the last we heard, she was doing okey recoberin. She hasta be in a rehab home fur awhile, so she can get all well before she can go home. Alla the kitties is currently in foster homes, cheerin Aunty MC on to get betterer, so they can go home too. They mite be movin to a diffrent place, so effurry is sendin lotsa Glow and good wishes that all goes well.

= Aunty Lenore Ccarlini =
Aunty Lenore has been bouncin back and forf between a rehab home and the horsepiddle, battlin infekshuns and other complicashuns. She is hopin to be able to get back to the rehab home, and then to REAL home again soon, and sez alla glow and purrayers helps her a lot.

= Aunty Bette Connecticat =
Aunty Bette was able to go home from the horsepiddle last month, and altho we hasn�t heard many updates, the Village all purrays and glows that she is doin and feelin okeydoke, and enjoying bein with the kitties and Aunty Sue again.

= Aunty Norma Wiscat =
No, Aunty Norma is not sick! :) She just bizzy bizzy and doing neato fings! She got to fly ober to her most faboritest place in the world tho last week ... France! She bisited Gay Purree while there to give a speech (in Frenchie, no less) to some other impurrtant hoomans. She also made a trip not long ago to ... we furget, mebbe Katsas? ... to also talk about impurrtant stuffs. The Wiskitties miss Aunty Norma when she�s gone, but know she enjoys these trips, and happily await her homecoming again.

THE FOSTER CONNECTION

Foster aminals continue to come and go at the NY home, with the latest bein a Scottie dog who is stayin fur awhile. The black purrshun kitten Swiffer is still there as well.
Ober in Wiscatsin ... no, not at the Wiscats� house, but at Aunty PHStilts� house, there is a new foster goggie. The furst one in fack, a lil minpin named Zuzu, who is doin well adjustin.
Aunty Dottie Catnip is furry bizzy these days as usual ... trappin feral kitties, gettin them meowdical treetment and tootered and playin spades. She helps out at a spade/tooter clinic often, and finds it rewardin to see how many kits are bein TNRd.

Several of the Noblekits, includin Greyboy, Gus, Gatito, and Thunder has been dealin with various illnesses or owies lately. Some dealt with respurratory or tummy issues, while others had eyegoopies and other stuff. So fur they is all doing betterer, and hope they continue to.

Sassy resently was found to have a lumpy on her, and after some worried days while a bopsy was being purrocessed, releef finely came. Sassy was found to NOT have cansfur, and is doing better again.

= Kaeli & Becci Snowta =
Kaeli also developed a lumpy on her legg not long ago, and since she had cansfur last year, it was a scary time wait fur the vetdokter appoinkment. Lukkily, a needle bopsy showed that it had no mast (cansfur) cells, and mostly fat cells, so no cansfur!
Becci endured a repeet of a tummy upset episode like she had in Janyooary, with not eatin and barfin pink stuff all ober. Once again, she recobered within a few days, so it prolly an irritable tummy situashun or a food allerjy.

= Riley Catnip
Riley had some of his toofers out not long ago, and recobered from the eggsperiense okeydoke. He is bein watched in case any of his other toofers or mouf start gettin bad again.

= Valentine NY =

= Loki & Grizz Meowzers
Loki, who was tootered a few months ago, has been givin pre-lessons to his lil bruther Grizz. Grizz is skeduled to be tootered him ownself on Monday, and wanted to be purrpared fur what would happen. Their pawrents, Kelby and Ashley Catnip-Snowta, has been purromisin lots of treets when the purrcedure is ober with.

= Bradley Kasiacat
Brad has been going back and forf with how he is feelin, and is still eggsperiensin difficulties gettin around with his leggs. He also havin trubbles gettin his tummy to adjust to his medisins, and he and his pawrents gotta deal with messy ooopsies now and then. As of late, he�d been doing not-too-bad, tho.

HOOMAN BEANS

= Aunty MaryChristine TenHouseCat =
Aunty MC resently underwent a quintuple bypass operashun on her heart, and the last we heard, she was doing okey recoberin. She hasta be in a rehab home fur awhile, so she can get all well before she can go home. Alla the kitties is currently in foster homes, cheerin Aunty MC on to get betterer, so they can go home too. They mite be movin to a diffrent place, so effurry is sendin lotsa Glow and good wishes that all goes well.

= Aunty Lenore Ccarlini =
Aunty Lenore has been bouncin back and forf between a rehab home and the horsepiddle, battlin infekshuns and other complicashuns. She is hopin to be able to get back to the rehab home, and then to REAL home again soon, and sez alla glow and purrayers helps her a lot.

= Aunty Bette Connecticat =
Aunty Bette was able to go home from the horsepiddle last month, and altho we hasn�t heard many updates, the Village all purrays and glows that she is doin and feelin okeydoke, and enjoying bein with the kitties and Aunty Sue again.

No, Aunty Norma is not sick! :) She just bizzy bizzy and doing neato fings! She got to fly ober to her most faboritest place in the world tho last week ... France! She bisited Gay Purree while there to give a speech (in Frenchie, no less) to some other impurrtant hoomans. She also made a trip not long ago to ... we furget, mebbe Katsas? ... to also talk about impurrtant stuffs. The Wiskitties miss Aunty Norma when she�s gone, but know she enjoys these trips, and happily await her homecoming again.

THE FOSTER CONNECTION

Foster aminals continue to come and go at the NY home, with the latest bein a Scottie dog who is stayin fur awhile. The black purrshun kitten Swiffer is still there as well.
Ober in Wiscatsin ... no, not at the Wiscats� house, but at Aunty PHStilts� house, there is a new foster goggie. The furst one in fack, a lil minpin named Zuzu, who is doin well adjustin.
Aunty Dottie Catnip is furry bizzy these days as usual ... trappin feral kitties, gettin them meowdical treetment and tootered and playin spades. She helps out at a spade/tooter clinic often, and finds it rewardin to see how many kits are bein TNRd.

Febrooary 12, 2011

Happy Balentyme�s Day!! Now where has the time gone? Seems like the Mew Year just began, and now Febrooary is upon us. The Villagers has been dealin with a lotta ruff wether this winter, incloodin sub-zero tempurrachurs, feets of snow, and lotsa rain, dependin on which part of town you lives in. I fink it safe to say that this winter has seemed really long alreddy, and most of us are reddy fur Spring!
Balentyme�s Day is comin up soon, and many shoppers is out and about buyin Balentyme�s cards and candie fur their luved ones, and checkin out the flower and joolry selekshuns. A danse was held the other nite, with lotsa food and fun, and romantikal dansin. Stay tooned fur more infurmashun on upcomin Spring ebents!
As usual ... the wish we all have for a new year is that all of us and our hoomans stay safe and healfy. And as usual, that isn�t always the case. The Village has losted several residents in the past month, and others have been dealin with illnesses. We remain eber hopeful though, with the coming spring and new life springing furth, that our fambly and frends will all be safe and happy.
I know we keep purromisin to get more frekwent issues of the Mews out, and we really do try. Time just seems to have a way of gettin away from us, and we will continue to get out as many isshues as we can! We apawlogize iffen we don�t get all the mews that�s been happenin in The Mews, as it seems our sekretary�s brain has turned into a sieve and she don�t remember nuffin unless she write it down, and then she lose the notes! Fanks fur unnerstanding, and we�ll do our bestest!
Remember, all the most up-to-date mews and infurmashun is on the What�s Mew Meeting Hall message boards at http://forums.cathobbyist.com/forum.php?catid=63#80990 and on all of the other MeowChat message boards.

Happy Winter!

LOCAL MEWS

= Winter Angels =

The Village has lost a few familiar faces in the past coupla weeks:
Marvin MidasK9, who had been battlin kittney failure and aneemia, took a turn fur the worser in resent days, and it was his time to become a Rainbow Bridge angel. He is sadly missed by his momTerri, dad, fursiblins, and many many frends in the Village. We will see you again, deer frend, and until then, watch ober us with smiles .... {{{ }}}
Longtime Villager Petie Furlorida mysteriously passed on resently to the Rainbow Bridge. She is missed by momKathy, brutherkits Spencer, Jebbie, and Bailey, and her goggieson, Tarrigo, LDS Poucette, and many frends. Wishing you happiness now, Petie .... {{{ }}}
Jade Polar suddently took ill, and despite all the efforts of her mom and vetdokter, Jade made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge resently. She leaves behind her sad momHeather, hooman gramma, and many furry siblings. She will be greatly missed by all who knew Jade, and her lejendary appetite fur the unusual. Enjoy that wunnerful Bridge Buffet, Jade, and we�ll see you again someday ... {{ }}
Two foster pets at the NY household also made their way to the Rainbow Bridge. George, a JRT who debeloped some disorder in which he couldn�t fink or act rite, was sent in kindness to the Bridge where he is well again. Maria, a tortie kitty who was a purrmanent foster, also became an angel the same day due to unfurtunate circumstances. Fly on free and happy and well .... {{{ }}}

= HonkyTonk Kitties =

The Village residents were transfurmed into Urban Cowkits resently, when the �rodeo� came to town! The local waterin hole was transformed into a honkytonk with the arrival of a mekanical bull by Pepper (and later a replacement by Unka John), and contests were held to see who was the best bull rider. Many tried their skills at ridin Ol� Snorty, and while some were tossed hither and thither, others held on fur deer life until they was green. A wunner Mexican buffay was enjoyed by all, with many yummy eats. It was a most grand time, and hopefully will become an annual ebent.

= New Bizness in the Village =

Unka John Hulakits has resently put out a sine fur his brand new bizness. It�s called Unka John�s Belly Wub Klub, and accordin to John, membership is free to all! Now that�s a deal! All are welcome to skedule 15 minnits appoinkments at any time ...

BULLYTIN BOARD

= Meowipedia Purroject ... It�s COMING! It�s COMING =

The Meowipedia will be published soon ...Really!! Tthe final touches are bein put on it as we meow! Don�t furget ... there�s still time to send in entries fur the Meowipedia/Dikshunary Purroject! Bayli is nearly done with the furst edishun, but is still akseptin more entries at phkellen@pethobbyist.com until actual publicashun. Revishuns will only be made thereafter effurry 6 months or so, so get �em in while you can!

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Octavia ThreeCalicos
Octavia was not eatin resently, and it was found at the vetdokter�s that she had some pollyps in her ears, and mebbe in her throat too. After an ankshus few days, sturjery was purrformed, and the pollyps was removed ... none in her throat at all! Her momKaye was so furry worried, and then releeved, that Octavia camed thru just fine, and she�s now home recoberin with lotsa luv and speshul treets.

= Casey and Riley Catnip
Casey has been havin a tuff time with his kittney issues lately, and been eggsperiensin some aneemia. He saw the vetdokter, and has been slow seein a lil bit of impurrovement in how he�s feelin and eatin.
AuntyDottie resently found a broked toofer on the floor, and soon discobered that it had furmerly belonged to Riley. Off to the vetdokter he went, where it was determined he gots some immune fingy that causin him to reject his own toofers! Dental sturjery is skeduled fur soon, and it was all found that Riley gots azzma, so he will get some kinda treetment fur that as well.

= Tillie, Becci, Kelby, Larry, Remi

Becci becomed furry ill fur seberal days in Janooary, with much barfin, some with red stuff. She saw the vetdokter, who did x-rated pichurs and stoled blood fur tests, but effurryfing was a-okeydoke. She prolly just got into some food that she was llerjik too, and was soon fine again.
Matilda has been battlin UTIs fur quite a while now, with strainin and red stuff all ober. After two auntybiotics and x-rated pichurs and cultured labrador tests, it was determined that Tillie gots a e. coli infekshun. Unfurtunately, she is now havin trubbles and red stuff again, so more auntybiotiks are prolly in order.
Remi and Larry bofe saw the vetdokter fur blood stealin tests, and while Remi�s buns is a lil worser, nuffin much to worry about yet. Larry�s hyperthighs is better than last time, but still way too hi, so he gots to take more pills ... and also some other pillpills fur his azzma.

= SnowBunnaBean Whee
BunnaBean was found to have a lumpy by Wheesmom resently, and effurry has been been sending Glow that it isn�t anyfing too bad.

= Cathy NYC
Cathy continues to bringed to the vetdokter fur water torchur, and off and on tests, but so fur seems to be doin purrty good with fings.

HOOMAN BEANS

= Aunty Lenore Ccarlini =
We hasn�t had any updates on Aunty Lenore resently, so if anyone has, would you please share them with us? Fanks! Glow continues from effurry ....

= Aunty Bette Connecticat =
Aunte Bette had been in the horsepiddle fur a furry long time, gettin treetment fur her lookeemia. The good mews resently was shared by Aunty Sue that Bette is able to come home, and in fact should be home rite now. We all await more mews of how Aunty Bette is doin, and of course continue to send Glow ...

THE FOSTER CONNEKSHUN

A tempurrary foster kitty ... a guestkit, really ... is stayin at the Wiscats� house fur ober a month. His name is Willie, and he�s an older gentlemenkit who belongs to some frends of AuntyNorma�s. Willie needs to get water torchur and eat speshul food, but so fur he�s been doin real well and seems to be enjoyin his bisit with theWiscats. It�s kinda a homecomin of sorts fur Willie, in a way ... AuntyNorma found Willie as a Wee Willie kitten, and adopted him out to her frends, long ago!
There�s a new fosterkitten at the NY household .. somefin that is a bit of a new eggsperiense. A lil black Purrshun kitten named Swiffer came into foster care, and is bein taken cared of by the NY fambly until he can get some vet checkups and tests done. No doubt he�ll be adopted soon after he is listed, as he is quite the lil cutiepie!

Happy Mew Year, and a belated Merry Kitmas! Wow, the hollydays is just comin (and goin) so quikly around here! As the year draws to a close, we want to tell all of our subscribers how much we appurreshiate them, and wish all a furry happy and healfy Mew Year in 2011!
The Villagers all enjoyed Turkey Day furry much, the most yummiest day of the year! Effurry was all abussle with purrepurrashuns fur Fanksgivin ... turkees was bein thawed, bred was bein baked fur stuffin, cranbabies was gettin cooked up, and acourse the punkin pies was coolin on the windowsills. Many gathered togeffur to enjoy the feast with their frends and famblies. It was a day to be fankful fur all that food, acourse, but most impurrtantly to give fanks fur all the good in our 9 lifes. What wass you most fankful for this year?
And then came Kitmas, such a majical time! The Kitmas trees were up in the Village Square, all lited decorated; the lites were strung on the storefronts, and the poinsettias and holly baskets are still hung on the streetlamps. Villagers bussled around from shop to shop, gettin gifts fur their luved ones, and more goodies fur Kitmas dinner. The kittens snuggled in bed early on Kitmas Eve to await Sandy Claws� arrival, and were wide-eyed with joy on Kitmas morning. Adults held close their luved ones, and enjoyed the hollyday season ... and the reason for the season, whicheber you hold in your hart ...

Beautiful angel, we�ll see you someday ... {{{ }}}

Sally Anne Snowta resently made her final eggscape. A furmer feral who was an inside cat fur the past coupla years, Sally constantly amazed all with her houdini-like eggscapes from the pen.

Buttercup and the rest of the Midask9 clan were worried when their mom desided to take a peek at a lil black smoke kitten, but they knew fings would work out fine. Little Luna is now learnin her way and place in the household, and all is well.

= Grate Eggscapes! =

What is it about fall and spring time that makes kits wanna eggscape into The Out? There resently been a rash of nawty kitties dartin out.
Noodle Midask9 scared his mom and fambly and frends last week when he darted into The Out while a goggie was going out. He distappeared into the cold dark nite, and effurry was furry worried about him. MomTerri set a trap, and by the next day, little Noodle was back in The In, safe and sound and warm again.
Smig Kasiakit made a brake fur it a few weeks ago, when she sneeked outta her garaje and went fur a stroll. Not findin any chippies to chase, Smig stopped to smell the flowers, and was soon recapchured and brought safely back to The In.
Timmy Notta Snowta also annoyed his fambly when he repeetedly eggscaped from the pen despite constantly fixin any appurrent openins. SnowtaDad and Shelley Barnsnowta called and paced about lookin fur Timmy, finely findin him by the goat and sheep pen. He was chased back into The In, and finely his eggscape root was patched fur good.

Gonzo resently tried to grow a second head, but it didn�t quite work and ended up just a small growth on his noggin.

Cathy had quite a scary eggsperience (her mom too!) a few weeks ago, when she ended up in the horsepiddle fur 4 days. It wasn�t quite determined zackly what is going on yet, but between ultrasounds and other eggzams, it appears she has a kittney infekshun and some tummy trubbles.

= Tiger & Darby Polar =

Tiger has been in the horsepiddle dealin with CRF, and currently is home gettin water torchur and other care from momHeather. He doesn�t wanna eat much on his own, so at least we heared, he was gonna have more tests at the vetdokter to see how he was doin.

>^..^< #190 >^..^<
Somewhere in Time and Space, 2010

Taahdaaahhh! Here it is, a isshue of the Mews, finally! We apawlogize fur it takin so long, but we is makin a grate effurrt to continue bringin you the Mews that you need to know!
Autummmm has fallen, and here we are again in Octobrrr! The summer was long and deliteful, but there�s somefing just kinda cozy about the cooler tempurrachurs of fall, and awaiting the the comin winter hollydays. There�s alreddy been frost on the punkins here at Clover Blossom Farm! The gardens didn�t do so well this year, so it�s almost a releef that they is startin to fade away. The ragweed and pollen been takin a heaby toll on bofe animals and hoomans alike, at least around here, so these are the days that a frost seems almost welcome ...

SnowtaMom heard the commoshun, and runned outside, but Timmy wasn�t givin up his purrize. It was screechin, Timmy was screeching, and SnowtaMom was about to join them when the vole wiggled loose and runned away. Timmy was all leggs and unhappiness as he was toted to the house, but later on catched a snakey in the basement, so he was in his glory again.

Kaeli the GoldenBeast, was resently found to have a lump on her belly. After sturjery to remove it, and the repurrt from the labrador, it was found to be cansfur (grade 2 mast cell toomer). So fur, the vetdokter feels he got the cansfur out, but since this may recur as more lumps or systemikally, Kaeli needs to be checked often.
Kelby and Larry saw the vetdokter resently, and as usual, Larry enjoyed his bisit while Kelby whined like a lil grrrl. They both had blood stoled, and Kelby didn�t get pee stoled despite two sticks. Results will be furthcoming on how they doin on their medicashuns.

"When the cats away, my heart goes with her"

= Cat�s Eye on the Nooz =

In dis edition I wanna tell myown story of how I came to liff wid Mommy. Our six-year annipurrsary is Oct. 16, witch also happens to be National Feral Cat Day.
I used to be a stray dat hung round Mommy�s �partment complex. It wuz a hard life. One nite, sum of us stray kits were playin �fite� games in front of Mommy�s door, an she walked by. She smiled at us an talked nice to us. I decided she wuz sumwun worth gettin to know.
Soon thereafter, I decided to act. I waited an waited outside Mommy�s door, fur her to get home. An when she finally appeered an opened de door, I ran rite by her, an rite to de �frigerator. Mommy fed me lunch meet an I ate a whole pack. After dinner, I sat in de livin room wid Mommy while she watched TV. She left de door open fur me to leeve, but I wuzn�t leevin. Not a chance. I needed a home. When bedtime came, Mommy closed de door, an I stayed. A reel furry tale.
An dat�s one cat�s eye on de mews of de aminal world.

LOCAL MEWS

= Grate Eggscapes! =

Kitties are at it again with silly eggscape attempts. Maddy Wiscat resently desided to scoot out into the garaje when momNorma opened the door to put the trash out. She wiggled unner neath the metalmonsters, but knowing she couldn�t go far, momNorma simply shut the door and waited a lil bit. Sure nuff, lil while later, Maddy was quite reddy to come back inside the house again with her fambly.
Sally Snowta is quite the Hoodeeni kit .. bofe comin and goin. She resently eggscaped the pen again and ranned off acrost the road to the abandoned farm. While SnowtaMom was bizzy lookin fur her off and on in furry tall weeds, Sally somehow sneeked back wifout bein notised, and SnowtaMom found her back Inside the pen, lookin at her like �What?� Sally still isn�t sayin where her sekret escape root is.

= Scary Day =

The Whees had a scare not long ago, when they smelled burnin stuff, and found out that some wirin was bad in the Nuthouse. Effurry was okay, and nuffin was an emerjency, but they gots some fixin to do wif it. Sammy was concerned about eggscape plans in emerjencies, and many other Villagers started finkin hard and makin plans on what they would do in such cases too.

= Innernet Roller Coasters =

Computers and innernet ... it�s definitely a luv/hate relashunship sometimes! The Pepsicola fambly resently had a storm, and zzzzttt ... there went their innernet connecshun. Franci finks that the modem mighta gotten fried durin the storm, and has called a repairguy, but they can�t come until later in the week. So, they is not able to get online, and we sure that is not a fun fing, but hopefully they will be back by Friday nite.
Meanwhile, ober at Clover Blossom Farm, the SnowtaKits finely got hi-speed innernet conneckshun after a long time on dialup. Russell was a good helper to the installer fone company guy, while Lynsi soopervised his work from her shoobox. We is quite sertin that the guy thot SnowtaMom was a goofy cat lady, cuz her offis is filled with cat stuff, incloodin the decor, the beds, and the real cats, MOL. The SnowtaKits are now bizzy spearaminting with all the fings they now do online.

Tarrigo NY got to strut his stuff resently when he and his fambly was in a purrade fur the rescue. They had a wunnerful time, and lotsa hoomans wanted to pet the lil guy, who enjoyed the attention. He also got to ride in a metalmonster with no top on it, which was cool.

Wildlifes is effurrywhere these days, eben inside. While Smig KasiaKit hasn�t come acrost any more chipmunk �recreashun,� Sammy and his fambly been see in some whees and other critters outside the NutHouse in Squirrel City.
Ober at Clover Blossom Farm, there�s critters all ober. Altho bald eagles are common in this area, it not effurryday one is rite in the yard nibblin on lunch, and the SnowtaKits enjoyed watchin it out the winnows. They was also surprised as they could be to look out the kitchen winnows one day, and see a bigg black BEAR munchin the the trash can fur brekfast! Lukkily, she lumbered off soon and didn�t harm nuffin.
In the farmhouse, tho, iffen it isn�t snakeys in the basement, it�s .... hoppin dust bunnies in the livin room! Jordi and Becci were plesently surprised the other day to find out that Paloma�s declarashun that dust bunnies really do jump was troo, when one hopped acrost the floor. SnowtaMom rooned their fun by snatchin up the dust bunny, not tellin the kits that it really was a tree froggie encased in dust and fuzzies. There have been several of these �bunnies� in the house, but they is carefully uncocooned and released outside again.

LOCAL MEWS

= A Furry Speshul Angel =

EmmaJean SnowtaKit made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, June 27, at home in SnowtaMom�s arms. Emma had been furry sick fur months, which turned out to be cansfur, and a bopsy and transfoozlin weakened her condishun. She�s no long sick, or slow, and is a furry actiff, brite, and happy kitty now again, reunited with her biolojical momcat, Sherrie. She is surbibed by a sad SnowtaMom and SnowtaDad, her bio dadcat, Larry, her momcat Melly StLouie, and her sisfur, Franci Pepsicola, and many siblins and frends. Be free and happy, little one ... and our arms will hold you again some day .... {{ }}

= New Villager Comin Soon! =

With effurry sunset, there is a sunrise, and the Village is now lookin furward to welcomin a new lil resident in a few months. After debates and decishuns, Zade and Tares Meowzers has come to the conslushun that it is okeydoke fur a new lil kitten to come into their fambly. A beeyooteeful lil Norwejian Forest Cat named Hodgepodge �Podge� will be adopted as soon as he is old enuff to leave his mamacat, and become their new bruther. Effurry is furry eggcited ober this mews, and can�t wait to meet this lil guy that surely Ash had a paw in sending.

= Snitchin Treets =

Sometimes kitties realize that iffen your moms don�t give you treets when you want ... well, you just gotta helps yourownself! Tita Hula Pepsicola desided that her mom wasn�t bein too fair when she made a coupla porkychopps fur dinner, and didn�t eben offer any to anyone. So, when momConnie�s back was turned, Tita made off with the porkychopp herownself. Her mom wasn�t too upset, and Tita eben got to enjoy some of her stoled goods.
Larry Snowta is a yeggman ... he luvs yeggs. Cooked, raw, eben the shells ... He luvs yeggs! Iffen Snowtadad leaves a bukket of yeggs on the table after bringin them in, it�s a sure bet that sooner or later, there will be a scratch-thunk-roll-splat! noise comin from the kitchen. Larry scoops the yeggs out with his paws, rolls them acrost the table, and onto the floor, where he then gobbles up his little snack.

= EmCin�s Caf� Reopenin =

After a short closure due to the owner of EmCin�s Caf� makin her final journey, EmCin�s is back open once again. EmmaJean Snowta left her Caf� to her sisfur Becci, and Becci soon was lukky enuff to have Paloma Abycat sign on as brekfast and lunch chef. SammyWhee has also joined the Caf� staff as the early mornin prep dood, along with Maddy Wiscat-Ccarline and Willow Pepsicola as waitresses. Becci purromises that the food will remain as it always has been ... good ol�fashuned country cookin.

= Zoom, Zoom ... Interrupted =

When Willow Pepsicola desided that a berry pickin trip would be fun at around the same time Jordi Snowta aksidently clicked on an Audi metalmonster webpage ... well, the wheels started turnin! The lil ones desided to buy an Audi with their combined 8 greenapers, and drive to the berry patch. Unfurtunately, the growed-ups put a kibosh on the plan when they started lecturin about borin stuff like drivin tests, insurance, and all that. The lil ones desided that mebbe ridin their bikes was much betterer.

BULLYTIN BOARD

= Meowipedia Purroject ... It�s COMING! It�s COMING =

The Meowipedia will be published soon ... the final touches are bein put on it as we meow! Don�t furget ... there�s still time to send in entries fur the Meowipedia/Dikshunary Purroject! Bayli is nearly done with the furst edishun, but is still akseptin more entries at phkellen@pethobbyist.com until actual publicashun. Revishuns will only be made thereafter effurry 6 months or so, so get �em in while you can!

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Triller Whee =
Triller tooked a tumble off a table or desk the other day, and injured hissownself bad enuff to do a lotta yellin and not much movin. After a trip to the emerjency vet, they wasn�t able to do much for him but give him pain meds. On Monday, Triller will see his regular vetdokter fur inside pichurs in case he gots any broked bones or somefing.

= Meadow Catnip =

Meadow Catnip has been going up and down in her sweetness level, and her momDottie been havin a hard time keep in it regulated. At last repurt, Meadow wasn�t roller-coastin too much, and it�s hoped she�s on an eben keel again.

ON THE FOSTER FRONT

A new foster named Pushkin is at Bendy Shrimpie�s house. He is felv+, but after healin up from some injuries after he was abandoned, he will be tested again, and hopefully be adopted out. There�s always new fosters comin and goin at Tarrigo�s house, and we�ve lost track, but as fur as we know, effurry is doin well.
Several of the moms has been bizzy wih adopshun ebent and fundraisers, and also helpin to trap and vet feral kits ... kudos to them fur their hard work!

HOOMAN BEANS

It�s been a hard few weeks fur some hooman pawrents of Villagers. Shelby�s momKelly unfurtunately had been havin some severe infekshuns in her foot, and despite several operashuns, the doctors was not able to save her legg. Aunty Kelly is upbeat about fings, and since she alreddy purrfishent in her wheeliechair and Shelby purromises to help her out, it seems she will be doing just fine.
Aunty Tessa Purr uneggspectedly found herownself in the horsepiddle with heat exhaushun and dehyderashun. She gettin water torchur and stuff fur a few days, and hopes to be back home again with the kitties soon. Aunty Linda Kitkat also had a horsepiddle stay, and is eggspected to be back in chats soon.
Marvin and Buttercups momTerri had a nasty-go-round with a canopener which bit her, and she hadda get sewed up like a frankenkitty on her fumb. The SnowtaKit�s grampa had a bad lawnmower attack his foot a couplea weeks ago when he stumbled, and he gots bad cuts and lost part of a toesie. Bofe is healin up nicely.

LOCAL MEWS

= Chipmunk Luv =

One thing that Smig Kasiacats learned resently while on a walky-walk ... don�t innerrupt chipmunk luv! Not only do it get you yanked by your leash, but it somehow makes middle-ajed ladies go goofy-crazy! ;) While on a leashed walky-walk, Smig manajed to come upon two lil chipmunks in a carrot patch contemplatin a future fambly, and wanted to pounce on them. MomBarb quikly pulled her back so Smig couldn�t have chippie cookies fur lunch, and Smiggle wasn�t too happy about it. The chipmunks weren�t all that happy either, and jumped back in the carrots to no-doubt continue their family plans.

= Purrty Pichurs =

Several kitties has been postin pichurs of themselves on the boards, and it�s nice to see them �in the fur.� Tita HulaPepsicola posed fur a luvly pichur resently, and her her dadJohn was most eggcited to see his girl be so happy with momConnie, and feelin at home. Mufassa and Isis Michcats and their mom had fun with a dijital cambra and some fun effex, and posted some nice pichurs with fancy borders. Make sure to check them out!

= Movin On Up =

Luna and Rame Funz lerned not long ago that they and their mom would be movin to a new compartment. They were a lil worried, as were their mom, about how they was gonna get used to a new place when they still wasn�t quite used to each other, but other kitties soon assured them it would all work out. Many gave helpful hints on makin the move smooth.

= We�ve Got Talent! =

Acourse effurry knows that kitties are purrty talented critters, but some of our Villagers are quite amazin with their talents! There�s fridje door openers, mail carriers, hiding, bitin, climbin, squeezin ... we are a talented bunch, no doubt about it! Check out what we can do, and add your talent at http://forums.cathobbyist.com/view.php?id=125286,125286

= Eggscape =

The bane of SnowtaMom�s existence lately is the mysterious �hole� in the kitty enclosure that only some kits seem to be able to slip thru and eggscape. Sally was resently spotted scalin the top of the enclosure, wantin back in, after somehow gettin out. Timmy not-a-Snowta also eggscaped and was roamin the top of the pen wire, but jumped down when he saw hoomans comin. He led them on a merry chase around and around the house and unner the porch, the rain and wet and mud, afore he was finely collared and dragged inna house again.

= Bad Computer =

Don�t worry iffen you haven�t seen SammyWhee around lately ... his computer�s been actin up, and he hasn�t been able to get online. As fur as we know, effurryfing is fine and dandy otherwise.

BULLYTIN BOARD

= Meowipedia Purroject ... It�s COMING! It�s COMING =

The Meowipedia will be published soon ... the final touches are bein put on it as we meow! Don�t furget ... there�s still time to send in entries fur the Meowipedia/Dikshunary Purroject! Bayli is nearly done with the furst edishun, but is still akseptin more entries at phkellen@pethobbyist.com until actual publicashun. Revishuns will only be made thereafter effurry 6 months or so, so get �em in while you can!

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= EmmaJean Snowta =

Unbeleefably, EmmaJean is still strugglin with her respurratory illnesses after 6 months now. :( Anuther kind of auntybiotix made her feel a lil better, but as soon as she was done with them, she gots sicker again. She is eatin, which is a good fing, and sometimes feels okey, but mostly not too actiff. SnowtaMom is helpin her feel betterer with a steemer, allerjy-type medisin, and lotsa speshul food and huggs.

= Meadow & Nicky Catnip =

Nicky has gotted his staples outta his bum now, after his owie has healed, and he�s doin well again. Meadow seems to be gettin her diabetikalness somewhat unner control with insolence, and her mom is happy about that.

= Ghiradelli & Oscar Shrimpie =

Ghiradelli been havin some ear purroblems, and altho he don�t like the ear drops that his mom puts in his ears, it seems to be helpin him feel better. Oscar wasn�t eatin or feelin well, but it turned out to be a bad toofer. It�s hoped it will be able to be taked out soon and make him feel all well again.

ON THE FOSTER FRONT

Tarrigo and his momMary NY had a good time last weekend when they purrticipated in the annual goggie-and-hooman walk fur their local aminal shelter. They came in second place fur most donashuns gathered, despite a late start, and enjoyed the walk furry much. Concatulashuns!
Surprisinly, there isn�t any new foster babykits up at the Wiscats� house yet, but no doubt there will be soon. The Catnip Crew and their mom is always bizzy lately, helpin to trap and tooter feral cats and kittens, and foster any of them that come their way.

Little angel with tude ... {{ }}

= Scary Times =

Sammy Whee manajed to put the whole Village ... not to menshun Wheesmom ... in a total panic resently, when he becomed furry, furry ill. It was feared that it may have been his time to fly off to the Bridge, but with the Glow and support of all in the Village ... and luvin care fromWheesmom ... Sammy made a remarkable recobery.

Yes, your eyebolls is not deceevin you ... that longhaired black kitty you see around the Village ... the one usually dressed in lavender ... is none other Sammy Whee�s hubbykit, Pepper Ashintosh! Pepper returned to help glow fur his hubbywhee�s recobery, and ended up enjoyin his visit and desided to stay. Longtime residents were happy to welcome him back. Pepper�s return to the Village then led to ...

= New Bizness Now Open =

Looking for just that rite way to commemorate a speshul ebent, or just like a purrty pichur? A new tattoo shop has resently opened in the Village, under the ownership of Sammy Whee and Pepper Ashintosh.

Bejebul tattoos are their speshulty, and the Villagers were very pleased with the results.

= New Bruther? =

Will there be a new resident in the Village in the near future? Zade and Tares Meowzers has been feelin that Ash may be reddy to send them a new bruther in the sometime-future. Altho Zade is not that keen on the idea, Tare may just like havin a new playmate.

= Paw in Mouf Dizease =

If you see Justin NYC with a gagg ober his mouf, don�t worry ... Cathy took it upon herownself to keep her bruther in check in chats at times!

There�s been lotsa fun times goin on in the Village lately. There was a speshul Mom�s Day pardee in which the hooman moms were given corsajes and served speshul treets by the Villagers.

Unka John Hulakit looked espeshully fetchin in his hoola skirt and corsaje as an honorary mom. ;)
There was a Sinko da Mayo pardee with lots and lots of grate mexican food, much of it made by Mamacita Noblekit, and Paloma Abycat. Pinatas for the little ones, and dansin fur the adults made fur a wunner time by all.

LOCAL MEWS

= New Villagers =

There�s some new faces in the Village, so make sure you stop by an introduse yourownselfs to our newest Villagers!
Ober at the Idyhokit Clan�s homestead, there�s a new goggie sisfur fur the kits Their mom bringed homed a nice new sisfur a few weeks ago, and she is spending time getting adjusted to her new fambly. �Kadie� is fittin in real fine with effurry so fur, and the Idyhokits are bizzy teachin her the house rools.
At the TenHouseCats� place, there�s anuther (surprise, surpise) kitty arrival. A beeyooteeful black Weejie (Norwegian Forest Cat) named Midnight is now makin herownself at home with the other GazillionHouseCats, and hopefully will be able to make an appearance on the boards or chats sometime soon.
In Wiscatsin, Marvin Midask9 and his clan also have a new goggie sisfur. This one isn�t a choklit lab or goldenbeast, but a peek-in-the-knees goggie. Her names is Squishy, and bein not much bigger than the cats, she no doubt is gettin along just fine with them in her new home.

= Roarin in Wiscatsin =

Anuther lion cat ... or is it a nekked chinese goggie ... is running about the Village these days, so don�t be afraid. Annie Wiscat-CCarlini was gettin some bad matts in her luvly long fur which she didn�t want her mom to comb out, so off to the groomer she went fur a fancy new furcut. She�s getting used to her new look, which seems to be quite the style around the Village these days.

= In and Out, Out and In =

Some kits just neber are happy. Inside kits want to go out, and outside kits want to come in! Ober in in Meowsouri, Willie StLouie has been chatterin up a storm to go back outside again, espeshully after he sawed a bunnwabba hoppin around the yard thru the winnow. His pawrents are sayin no way, WillieBoy, and altho he�s poutin, he knows it�s fur the bestest.
The SnowtaKits all want out too, and have been spendin some time out in their pen. But SnowtaMom desided no more until they all gets a rebolushun against buggies put on them, and new deckin put on the floor of the pen. Besides, it�s COLD out there, baby!
In Pepsicola, there�s the opposite purroblem. AuntyConnie was furry shocked to walk in the livin room the other day and find a stranje kitty standing there next to Caleb! No clue on how s/he appeared there, but figgered mebbe the collared black kitty sneeked inside when the door was opened breefly. Franci thought mebbe it was mommyMunchkin comin fur an angel visit, and just mebbe it was ...

= Critters! =

There no shortaje of critters around the Village, but some is best reminded to stay outside and away from us. Unkle Bob StLouie putted on his jakket the other day ... and founded a nasty huge brown rekluse spider sittin on the shoulder lookin at him! Fank goodness it didn�t bite him, and he was able to swiftly send it off to the spider Bridge.
Smiggle Kasiacat�s basic instinks kicked in resently when she was on a walkywalk in the garden with her mom. A chippymunk poked his head out, and Smig desided that it was HER chippie. Her mom and dad wasn�t happy that the chippie went to the chippy Bridge, but her frends assured Smig that sometimes a kit just can�t help bein a kit.

BULLYTIN BOARD

= Meowipedia Purroject ... It�s COMING! It�s COMING =

The Meowipedia will be published SOON ... Really! The final touches are bein put on it as we meow! Don�t furget ... there�s still time to send in entries fur the Meowipedia/Dikshunary Purroject!

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Rusti Idyhokit =

Rusti hasn�t been feelin too well lately, and has been havin a diffycult time gettin her sweetness adjusted. Her diabeticalness is goin back and forf with respondin to the insolence, but she still isn�t feelin up to purr. Her mom is feedin her by hand, and takin good care of her, so hopefully she will purrk up soon.

= Ashley Kitkat =

Ashley hadn�t been responding furry well to her new medicashun to help some tummy isshues, so it was desided to have eggsploratory sturjery to see iffen there was anyfing else goin on. Her mom, Aunty Linda, helped with the sturjery itself, and many bopsies were taken to see if the labrador could tell anyfing. Ashley is home recoberin from the sturjery now, and results should be furthcomin soon.

= EmmaJean Snowta =

EmmaJean has been battlin respurratory isshues fur 4 months now. She had x-rays and blood tests, and while they had some abnormalities, it didn�t quite show what was wrong with her. After seberal treetments of auntybiotix and stairoids, a diffrent kind of test was done. It showed that Emma had bordetella and mycoplasma, which is yukky bakterial type of siknesses. She on a new fishy-tastin medisin fur 3 weeks to help knock them out and stop soundin like The Cowardly Lion underwater.

= Phoenix Connecticat =

Phoenix�s eye abscess is finely healin up, and the vetdokter is pleased with his purrogress. Phoenix is not wearin the lizardbreathin collar or in a cage no more, and no doubt is way happy fur that. His eyeboll should continue healin as time goes on.

= Furmer Villager Pepper =

A furmer Villager and frend of many, it was found resently that Pepper has been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. He was losin wate, and after eggtensiff tests, it was found that most effurryfing is okeydoke, eggcept his hart. He is on some medisin now to help his blood purresshur, and is bein monitor closely by his vetdokter and momJulie.

.
THE FOSTER CONNEKSHUN

It�s kitten season! There�s alreddy several litters of kittens in Village foster homes, incloodin ober at Tarrigo NY�s house, and at Bendy Shrimpie�s home. It prolly won�t be long afore the Wiscatsin foster room is filled up with kittens again, and no doubt the Catnip Crew�s mom will be bizzy catchin kittens to rehome. The SnowtaKits are hopin against hope that there is NO kittens at Clover Blossom Farm this year..

HOOMAN BEANS

= Unkle Don Noblekit =

Unkle Don scared his fambly and frend a coupla weeks ago when his hart attacked him. Furtunately, he is doin okeydoke. He had some sturjery done on his hart, and was in the horsepiddle fur awhile, and now is make a slow but sure recobery with the helps of Aunty Dani and Aunty/Unkle Patti/Scott Whee. {{ }}

Shelby Floridacat-Wiscat�s mom Kelly has been in the hooman horsepiddle several times resently, due to infekshuns on her feeties. Shelby repurrts that her mom is doin well, and hopes that she doesn�t have to go there any time again in the future.
