Catnip crazy!

This past weekend I was in Baltimore for the semi-annual Pet Trade Show. The free samples for kitties is very limited and it didn't help that I was walking a dog for all three days. I did manage to score a knitted catnip monkey for my little ones at home. This was the first treat I gave my kitties after being gone for 4 days. Here is the last few seconds of how much Steve loved that catnip monkey. He's totally catnip crazy!

Comfortable?

So he tried to crawl into the bag from the back of the couch. He then fell over and landed like this. He stayed there for quite some time.

Big Red Couch

Here is a photo of my couch that I took the day it arrived. As you can see, Steve is inspecting his new home. :)

Good News

So I have started my move into my new place. WOOHOO. And I am completely exhausted. More details on the new place to come. But I did want to share my good news. Steve is fine. His blood tests came back normal and his is healthy. YAY STEVE!

Pet Food

I know all of you have fallen in love with Steve. Just by staring at that photo of him hogging my pillow. :) This past weekend was rough for me. After my best friend pointed out the food recall to me, I realized that Steve's food was on that list. I knew that Stevie wasn't quite feeling himself. So I looked at the symptoms and what do you know, Steve has all of them. Vomiting, fatigue, increased intake of water and increased urination. I honestly can't say in words how much Steve has grown on me in the last month or so. It's like he's my first born. And now he's sick, might even be poisoned.

After much conversation with Steve's dad, I kept pushing for Steve to go to the Vet. Being that this drama started on Friday, the only option was for Steve to go to the emergency vet. I have to thank Sparky because on Saturday night I started wigging out. Getting completely paranoid over Steve and this damn food recall. Steve's dad was going to take him to the vet on Saturday but it didn't happen. My paranoia grew and at 2am, Sparky offered to get into her jeans and come to the vet with Steve and I. That's when you know who your friends really are. That's a great friend.

It is now Tuesday and Steve's vet appointments kept getting pushed farther and farther. He then was scheduled to go to his regular vet yesterday. I have yet to hear any results. Steve is being watched by someone else for the week and I can't tell you how each and every day crawls by without him. He's all I think about. I miss him hogging my pillow. Scratching my couch. Following me into the bathroom. Rolling around in the bathtub. Slamming his head into me to show me love. Napping with me. Climbing into my packed suitcase and falling asleep. I miss him. A lot.

I am in the process of moving and on Sunday, April 1st the new apartment is mine. So hopefully that's when I'll get Steve back (as if he's mine!) and will stay in my new apartment. A new place for him to explore and find all the holes and corners for him to wiggle into. I wait for the moment Stevie and I are reunited!

Meet Steve. Am I in love?

I am currently cat-sitting. Meet Steve. He is so cute and I adore him. But as of late, he has become a pillow hog! And here's the proof. There is no room for me anymore on my pillow. He sleeps like this all night with me and becomes vocal if I want to take more of my pillow. But because I am a sucker for cuteness, I allow him to hog away. I am starting to believe my mom when she said I'm falling in love...
