Undercover Mousie!!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:32:00 +0000

Armani: What mom? Stuff came from the lady in the blue suit for us?

It's about time!

Woot!! Undercover Mousie!

We all had to run over and check it out! We sure had a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact......

....That Charli and I had to play with it again later that night!

The action was fast and challenging. Expert paw-eye coordination was needed. I was very swift on my toes!

This Undercover Mousie is THE BOMB!

We give it 24 paws up!

It Was Not Stuff For Us....

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:29:00 +0000

Mom did some shopping online from our friends' Etsy store, Beaded Tail.

We thought for sure when the package arrived that it was stuff for us. The cute card even had a cat on it!

We were sure it was stuff for us because the packages had pawprints on them!

We sniffed and searched through the boxes for stuff for us.....

....but it was stuff only for mom!

She bought 4 new pairs of earrings!

Armani told mom that the next package that the man with the brown shorts or the lady in the blue suit brings to our house, better be for us!

Thank you Angel and Isabella at Beaded Tail! Mom loves her new earrings!

Happy Valentine's Day and JB Update!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:00:00 +0000

I told mom all I needed was a Pepsi, but she still drove me down to Dallas to a specialist called an internist. I got to take two of my favorite mice with me.

I got poked at, my armpits were shaved for an ultrasound and I had pictures taken of my insides again too. I told them my heart was healthy, but mom needed peace of mind so she would not worry.

I was pleased to see that the specialist liked all sorts of animals too just like I do in my Big World Blog!

He had pictures on the wall that showed him helping a Tiger and an Anteater!

So my tests all came back pretty normal for my age. I have only a slight heart murmur, which is not serious at this time, and I do not have heart disease or cardiomyopathy.

I am just a VERY spoiled finicky 12 year old senior LadyCat, with a sensitive tummy.

Mom, you can give me that Pepsi now!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY,

TO MY MOM AND ALL OUR FRIENDS!!

(P.S. Mom says it is Pepcid AC that I will take when my tummy hurts)

Heart Murmur for Valentine's Day

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:52:00 +0000

I have been sick for the last 3-4 days, throwing up a lot. I have not been my Spunky Munkey self. Mom had been very worried, so she took me to a new vet today, that specializes in cats only, since I have had a lot of health issues over the years.

Mom was hoping when we got there that there would be a good report on me. There was a nice colorful mural on the wall, so mom tried to think happy thoughts.

Armani came with me as mom wanted to have his teeth checked out since on his last check up to the other vet, mom was told he needed a tooth extraction.

Armani did not seem to realize he was in a vet's office so he started snoopervising!

Then he even did an elevator butt and even gave head butts to the vet! Armani, get a grip!!

The verdict on Armani was he did not have to have a tooth extraction yet, so mom was very pleased about that. So was Armani.

Me, on the other hand, not so good news. The vet listened to my heart and found I have a heart murmur, which is not good and this means likely cardiomyopathy. The vet put me in a towel and took me to the back room to steal my bloods. I have a furless spot on my neck now! The full blood test results won't come back till about 72 hours, for the special cardio blood test.

Mom is very worried, so please purr for her not to worry. We will update you all more when we have the test results.

Purrs,

2/9/12: JB's mom here with an update. The vet just called with JB's cardio panel results. They came back with a "red flag" indicating likely heart disease. I am so worried about my little girl. I have scheduled an ultrasound for Monday morning for her. The vet said the heart murmur scale is subjective but she put it at a 3 on a scale of 1-6. Please purr and pray for JB. Thanks everyone.

Pink is For Girls!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:16:00 +0000

JB: Armani, you really need to get out of my pink bed.

Armani: Zzzzzzz...

JB: Armani! Pink is for girls!

Armani: Zzzzzzz...

JB: Armani, you don't even fit in that bed. Get out NOW!

Armani: Zzzzzz...

JB: You better not be putting all your ManCat smells in my bed. Pppfffftt. Boys.....they sure are annoying!

Slinky Slimey Saturday!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:17:00 +0000

This morning we are pleased to report that JB's Big World has collided with JB's Small World!

Charli was the first to discover this exciting event!

Gaia was very happy to make a new acquaintance. Secretly, I think Gaia invited him inside during the night!

Mom was not pleased.

Mom shrieked!

Mom yelled and then shrieked again! She said she was doing this so the rest of us would not come over and try to eat our new friend.

But I think as small as our visitor was, mom was scared of him.

Then what happened?

Mom flushed him....

Then we had breakfast.

Happy Saturday everyone! May your Saturday be as slinky and slimey as ours was!

Happy Snuggles & Purrs

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:55:00 +0000

Mom left us for 6 whole days for a bizness trip, and she just got back this morning. She says she has red eyes, but I don't know what that means.

Naturally, I wanted to be upset when she got home, but I just could not stay mad for long, so I am happily purring and snuggling with mom most of the day!

Happy Caturday, Everyone!

GRASS HOG!!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:18:00 +0000

We need to give an update on our farming project, which we got as a gift from our friend, Prints the Cat!

Charli was a good helper, and helped to mix the soil and plant the seeds. She did an ok job, but kept wanting scritches from mom, so she got distracted. We planted oats, wheat, barley and rye, and all were 100% organic!

Our crop started to sprout very quickly!

Hey mom, we think you watered the barley too much!

Charli was very proud of her crop, and took just a small taste of the young tender grasses.

But then along came Gaia, the GRASS HOG!
She mowed, and mowed and MOWED the grass down!

Gaia: Do you all have a problem with this??

Looks like we will have to order more seeds for a new crop!

4 Year Blogoversary, an Aromatic Christmas Surprise, and Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:24:00 +0000

We can't believe it has been exactly 4 years today since I started my Small World blog! There have been many changes in my CatHouse along the way, but the one thing remains constant and that is that we have met so many wonderful friends through blogging. We love you all and thanks for being our friends!

As I gaze into my new Magic 8 Ball into 2012, we wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!

~~~~~~~

And now, we want to thank Chester's sissie, Lucy and her siblings, for a most wonderful Christmas surprise!

First of all, we were very intrigued with the Box and some aromatic smells coming from it!

Gaia was quick to approve the smells and immediately took a BIG deep whiff!

Then as Chester always sticks his nose into things, he had to stick his nose into a little red box. Be careful, Chester, it is a Skunk!

Chester: It's ok, it is not a real Skunk, but how cool if it was!

Then we got to watch the Skunk in action, rolling around the house! Gaia still thought the Skunk might be real, so she made a funny face like she could really smell it!

Then what happened?

Well, it was New Year's Eve last night, and SomeCat must have overindulged!

We are not sure what the Magic 8 Ball has to predict about 2012 after this display by Chester!

Warm Snuggly Blankie!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:16:00 +0000

Look at what Grandma made us for Christmas!

It is as special blankie with all of our names on it! It is hand-knitted with wool yarn, and very snuggly!

I found my name on it, so I had to put my toesies on it! I can read! ~Chester

Silly little Chester.....you are not the only one who can read. I found my name too!

~Armani

You boys always try to be smarty-pants. Girls can read too!

I found my name too!

~CocoBean

You all are crazy. I don't need to read to know this is a great place to take a nap! **yawn**

~Charli

I gotta figure out a way to swipe this warm snuggly blankie, just for me. It should be mine, all mine!

~Gaia

My siblings are all nuts.

Don't they know this is JB's Small World, and this is JB's Small Blankie?

I just wish mom would come over and tuck me in.

~JB

Thank you Grandma, for our warm and snuggly blankie!

We LOVE it!

Christmas CocoBean - From Homeless to Glam!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:13:00 +0000

CocoBean is reading the Dallas Morning News!

She was featured as one of the Top Holiday Pet Photos this Christmas, by Frisco Humane Society!

How exciting!

From homeless to Glam, and all in just a couple of years!

I know I am Glam and all now, but I was not always like this.....

I was living on the streets back in the summer of 2009, and this was me back then. The Frisco Humane Society had just rescued me from the Collin County Animal Shelter, and my foster mom cared for me.

FHS must have known I was a diamond in the rough!

My mom then adopted me from Frisco Humane Society, and the rest is history! I blossomed into the Fab and Glam CocoBean that you know today!

So the moral of the story is: A Rescue Cat is a purrson too. Most of us have run into some bad luck, and we hope for a better life with a wonderful forever family, just like the one I got!

Adopt a Rescue Cat today and save a life!

We are Going to be Farmers!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:53:00 +0000

Our good friend, Prints the Cat, sent us a surprise recently and we are sorry to post this so late. Mom has been super busy, as usual.

We got a farming kit with grass seeds, meelk and a really cute card! Of course, Gaia and Chester were super excited about the Meelk!!

Gaia: You always get to drink the meelk first, so this time I think I should get to drink it first.

Chester: Ok, mama. You can drink the meelk first. Just leave some for me, because mom says you are a hog.

The rest of us were very interested in the farming kit and something called grass! Charli told us all about it from when she lived outside as a stray, and she says it is super yummy.

Mom promises to help us cultivate our seeds in the next couple of days, so we will show your our crop very soon!

We are farming Cats! Thank you to Prints the Cat!

JB is a Princess!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:01:00 +0000

CocoBean: Whatcha got on there, JB?

JB: Mom made me wear it. I think it is a Princess dress.

CocoBean: I don't know, JB. Does not look comfortable to me.

JB: It's not. Mom put it on and it weighs down on my bones, and it is itchy!

CocoBean: I sure hope mom does not get any funny ideas and put that on me!

JB: Hey, let's get Armani to try it on!

CocoBean: Yeah, let's get Armani to try it on! He'll wear it. He wears anything!

Glam Sparkly Christmas Photo Shoot!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:28:00 +0000

I don't know how I was the one that got stuck with modeling this outfit. Armani is usually the only one who wears clothes.

Ok, I will try to make the best of it, because mom says the sequins Glam me up even more than normal.

Hey, pipe down over there in the peanut gallery! I am being really Glam!

My siblings are just jealous. I am very Glam and sparkly in my sequined holiday finery!

You See, it WAS my Birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:33:00 +0000

Yesterday was my birthday. I was 3 years old. Mom forgot.

My Mama Gaia told me Happy Birthday. She remembers my birthday 3 years ago very well.

I think that is me on the left, with my twin sister, Sugar, next to me. (Happy birthday, Sugar!) Look how small my siblings and I were! We were 3 sets of twins!

Mama Gaia was a good mama.

The very first time mom saw me was this picture. It was my internet picture on petfinder. She could not resist me then and she can not resist me now.

Only thing is, she forgot my birthday.

I am 3 now, and that is a very important age.

Frisco Humane Society Cat Adoption Event!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:06:00 +0000

Mom helped organize an adoption event for Frisco Humane Society yesterday, which is the group she volunteers for. This is one of the reasons she has had little time to help me blog, but I am ok with this if more cats can find homes. :-)

It was held at the Frisco TX Petsmart. The FHS volunteers advertised and promoted it a lot, so more potential adopters showed up than expected!

It was very crowded throughout the day!

Many extra crates were set up for the additional cats purrticipating. 6 cats were adopted at the event, which was great as the event focused on some cats that had been returned 1-2 times already or were considered "hard to adopt". Alas, not all were adopted so some are still looking for homes today.

This is the center that FHS uses on an ongoing basis and has cats for viewing every week. FHS also has cats for viewing at the E. Plano TX store as well.

KitKats, Kitty Kisses and KupKakes were on hand for the human kids to snack on.

It was a great event, but unfortunately the poster boy on the event flyer, Robert Redford, the flame point Siamese, is still looking for his furever home. The next big event will be Dec 17, so I hope he finds a home in time for Christmas!

Come by Facebook and like the FHS page - Frisco Humane Society!

And here is another shot of what I think about that. Ppfffttt!

noreply@blogger.com (JB's Big and Small Worlds) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:17:00 +0000

We are helping to celebrate our fellow cat blogger, Derby's Birthday, and to present our 'Tocks to him for 'Tocktober!

Chester is always ready to show off his 'Tocks!

Armani also has a very nice display!

CocoBean, uh, a little too much, don't you think?

Gaia, has a nice set of 'Tocks, just like her son Chester does!

Charli got bashful because she has short furs, so she did not want to show her 'Tocks.

And now for the Pièce de résistance! It is me, JB! I may be a senior, but I still got it!!

Happy Birthday and 'Tocktober, Derby!

Every day we must be on INTROODER Patrol to protect our turf.

Sometimes we get distracted by BIRD TV though, when birdies go for a swim in our cement pond.

How many of us do you see in this pic?

How many of us were in this pic that you can not see?

Note who has the top vantage point as TopCat!

(P.S. All of us were on patrol, but two were in hiding in secret spots in the cat tree!)
