ChriStmas ShoPPing, KittyS and a GiVeaWay I wOn Back In May.;)

Good evening everyone!!! gosh it seems its getting dark at 3:30pm these days..and on super gloomy days it sure gets dark quick..although it started out to be such a gorgeous day..I got the babies out for a bit today...but at around 3pm..it just got the gloomies..I had to take my sunny E bunny to the vets today..not sure if she has allergies or a cold..which is like a herpes virus..thats what the doctor said today..and he said that 80% of cats have this virus..and they get it once..they will always get it..so keeping an eye on her for 24 hours to see how she does..she is miserable..she has a watery eye and she is sneezing up a storm..she has calmed down a bit..but she is wanting to be left alone..so may have to put her on antibiotics...The picture above is by a gal that made my cat nap inn dustpan..and I thought this would be a great gift to give to my little sister..so I told her what she loves and holy cow she outdid herself..I love this so much I want it..but my last name is not Trane..I think I asked her to make me one like on saturday or sunday..and she is done already..don't you love it..I know Lecia has been purchasing a few of these and they are all wonderful..;) You can find her here. Unfortunately she is closed down till Januray 3rd..she has an upcoming wedding to attend..so I got in under the wire on this one..;)
I just wanted to show you where my kids love to sleep..Millie (or jelly belly) as we call her loves to sleep up on my fabric..that is her spot..
Gracie is usually here or on our bed snoozing between the pillows.
Here is my little sunny E bunny yesterday..I covered her up in the blankets and she seemed to love it..
you can see her peeking out of the covers..and here is Pody Lynn..she usually snoozes on the other side of the bed..but there was a pillow in the way and the bed wasn't made.;)
Back in May I won a CSN certificate of $40.00 to use at their store..and I had till December 31st to use it..so I got a deep fat fryer like the one shown above..I can't wait to make fried onion rings or french fries..or donuts..etc..fried chicken...will let you know how I like it..I only had to pay 28 dollars difference and I got free shipping..so that was a nice little win..:) well that is it for me... I have one stocking started for our men overseas..I am going to start the other one tomorrow...will try to post them when they are finished..both will be different..I hope you all had a great day today..;) take care and thanks for stopping by.;)

  8. Hi Gina:) Oh boy, poor kitty. It should last only a week or so. We never had to get our Bugsy antibiotics though. It just went away on its own. I wish they could call it something differnt though. I mean c'mon... herpes?? Reminds me of that movie "The Ice Pirates". LOL.

  12. The dust pan is great! Love it!

    Hope your kitty gets well soon. Dealing with FHV can be such a pain. I have had a LOT of experiance with it being in rescue. Some advice if I may. If your vet didn't already tell you about this...

    Try L-lysine – Give 250mg per day


    Oral administration of l-lysine is helpful in cats with FHV. 250 to 500mg per day per cat is the usual recommendation. 250mg per day of l-lysine in kittens and small cats. 500mg of l-lysine per day is better for adult cats of normal or large size. It takes some time to notice benefits from this (several weeks) so please give it some time. Most cats will eat these tablets if they are crushed and mixed with food. These tablets are available over the counter at any store theat sells vitamins. I usually get mine in powder form at the Vitamin Shoppe

    L-lysine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein. It does not have much effect on the cat's body. It works for herpes virus because the virus is an RNA based virus. Due to this, the virus has to fool the body into making DNA. L-lysine interferes with this process because it resembles the amino acid the body really needs for the conversion. This interferes with virus reproduction and in chronic cases of herpes virus it helps to inhibit the virus and allow the body to deal with it. So it really doesn't have much effect on the immune system and it doesn't interfere with other medications much. It is generally safe to use this amino acid for treatment of herpes virus while using other medications or while treating other conditions.

    Ok... off my kitty soap box now. Sorry... I'm kinda a pro at the cat thing. lol!

  13. Ohhh to live a cats life.
    Sorry one of yours is ill.
    Our cat seems to loose a patch of fur then it grows back again. I am thinking it is stress, can't imagine why though.
