Patriotic Polly

Check out my newest doll in Create & Decorate magazine -- Patriotic Polly! You can find her in the July/August issue of Create & Decorate or if you can't find the magazine, order it from my site at The Cat's Pyjamas Patterns.

All kitties seem to be doing well around here. We have a new one that has been hanging around. I caught him one day to get him neutered, but he got away and he's a little suspicious of me. (Imagine that!!) But he is starting to trust me again. I've been petting him and he let me pick him up, kind of, yesterday. I'm hoping by the first of next week, I'll be able to get him to the vet. The old white kitty from down the road has been coming to see me. To start with it was about once a week. The day before yesterday, she was here in the morning, then at lunchtime, then still here in the evening. She seemed to be starving and I thought it was strange because I know her owners feed her. I tried to get her to follow me back to her house but she wasn't interested. Later her owner stopped by and said some dogs had her cornered in the garage, so I guess she came here to get away from them. :( So sad because she's pretty old. We just let her stay here whenever she wants and she eventually went home that afternoon. At least she knows where she can run & hide if she needs to.....we're hoping not to have any new kitties show up for a while. There was another but he took off before I could catch him. Who knows, he may be back sometime!

New drawings...



Lately I've been in a "drawing" mood! I love doing these drawings on paper, just black and white. I may add color later, or maybe not! I'm not sure what I'll do with them, but have had some t-shirt suggestions, which I thought was a great idea! We'll see...right now I'm just accumulating a big stack of drawings! haha!

Besides drawing, I've been dealing with some sick kitties too. Mr. Spock (my oldest kitty) is having inner ear problems again. Last Monday I got up to find him wobbly again and barely able to stand. I got him some antibiotics hoping to keep from taking him to the vet because he gets SO upset when I take him. After a few days, I didn't think he was better so I took him to the vet on Friday. He has kidney disease too and I was worried he wasn't getting up to drink enough. He was dehydrated so he got some fluids, a steroid shot and is on 2 different antibiotics. He's still unsteady but seems to be getting better. He is definitely eating and drinking more now with his steroid shot kicking in! It surely won't hurt him to put on a little weight. He had lost from  18.5 to 11 lbs the last time we weighed him. Its hard to see him so small since he has always been a big, healthy kitty until about the past year. He is 15, so I guess it is just something I have to deal with....he has been getting plenty of extra attention and I'm sure he's enjoying that! He goes for a checkup tomorrow and I'm hoping to get some good news that his ear drum is healing!
