Not Spoiled One Bit!



Mi Gatita Está Sobre La Mesa! With the material spread across the table, yes, while I'm attempting to make a "tie blanket", the lovely Furgemeister decided that she should help. Help...my eye!! So, we asked Meme to come and take pictures of the lovely gatita and the new blankie of course! I made it for myself, but it looks like Furgie will get more use out of it than I will. :)

While I'm typing this blog, she is once again snuggled on the blanket. If there was such a thing as reincarnation (just pretend for a second that there is), I would love to come back as a spoiled house cat. What a cushy life!!!

Good night, y'all!

Donde' Es Mi Gatita?

Furgie has to have her teeth cleaned in February. Awww!!! Poor gatita!! I have to leave her at the vet's office for an entire day...they put her under anesthetic so they can clean her teeth. I can probably imagine I won't be very focused at work that day. But, if I don't get her teeth cleaned, other WORSE things might happen...like feline leukemia virus and more. So, I'll take steps to protect her now. It makes me wonder how any of my cats lived before. :) Here's some info on the cleaning in case you wanted to know...

There are four steps in the cleaning process that will be used on your cat:


Scaling removes the tartar above and below the gum line. This is done with hand instruments and ultrasonic cleaning equipment. The tartar which is under the gums must be removed for a dental cleaning to be complete.

Polishing smooths the surface of the teeth, making them resistant to additional plaque formation.

Flushing removes dislodged tartar from the teeth and helps to remove the bacteria that accompany tartar.

Fluoride Coating decreases teeth sensitivity, strengthens enamel, and decreases the rate of future plaque formation.
