Macky, Mowie, and Sunny

Mowie is doing great. All of her fleas (and whatever else was living off that poor baby) are gone and her skin and fur are recovering nicely! I bought her a brush and gave her some special attention with it. She loved it so much, it must have felt so good on her skin. It’s only been 2 days for her without fleas and she’s come so long already! Who knew fleas could do so much damage.

Mowie’s other main problem, which left her in poor condition when she was outside, is that she is declawed. I can’t stress enough how important cat’s nails are to them, for survival, protection and emotionally. Mowie must have gone days without food because for the past two days, she’s cleared an entire can of cat food in a matter of minutes, plus a full bowl of hard food. I think she’s not sure when she’ll be without food again so she’s stocking up for winter or something. A few minutes ago I went into the garage to visit her, which she gets super excited about. I gave her a mouse and ball yesterday, to keep her busy. I never saw her play with it when I was in there because she just follows me around, but tonight she tried to play with the mouse, but the poor kitty has no claws! I’m used to watching mac and sunny kick my arm and toss toy mice like its nothing. Poor Mowie, I don’t even know if I’m making her uncomfortable by holding her because she has no nails :(

Declawing is also illegal in many countries!  Click for more about declawing..

Mowie started her amoxicillin yesterday and she takes it like a champ. I’ve never seen a cat swallow medicine so easily. This cat is a saint.

However, Mowie may have an excellent home lined up. Cross your fingers and let’s hope it goes through! She can finally be the little princess she deserves to be :)

Mowie loves the camera

ok maybe thats not mowie, maybe thats a tiger from the bronx zoo…

here’s mowie…

The vet called only 4 hours after we left to let us know that Mowie tested negative for feline leukemia! The only slight abnormality in her blood work was that her blood cell count was slightly high, so they want to put her on some antibiotics which should fix that. In the meantime, she ate an entire can of cat food in a matter of minutes. Poor baby was starving!

She’s such a nice cat, I don’t see how anyone could do this to her :(

I think I should start my own adoption clinic through macandsunny.com.

A couple of days ago, a cat wandered not into our yard, but onto our doormat. She cried and cried and just wanted to get in. She had some hair loss, which we assumed was the worst. She is super friendly, I mean such a nice cat.

After sleeping on our doormat and crying outside, I felt bad for her and went to give her attention. I noticed she is missing hair all under her belly and base of her tail, plus she had some rash looking thing under her arm. I had this terrible feeling she had cancer. After playing with her paws I noticed she was declawed. Declawed!! Who lets a sweet, friendly, declawed cat outside to die! The people up the street moved out a few days ago, I think they just left her here. Bastards.

So today my dad and I brought her to the Sayrebook vet. Mowzer was so good in the car and when we got there, she was happy to be at the vet! She rubbed up against everyone and everything, even let the vet rub her belly on the table. Everyone was in love. Turns out, as of right now, Mowie doesn’t have any signs of leukemia. Her hair loss and rash is an allergic reaction to fleas. If she hadn’t cried and slept on our doormat for 2 days, she wouldn’t have survived outside with no nails. What is wrong with people.

The moral of this story is that Mowzer needs a home! She is declawed and spayed and the nicest cat you’d ever meet. She loves attention and definitely deserves a good home. After all that she’s been through, she deserves a mansion and grapes fed to her.

Interested? :)

Mac and Sunny still have 3 adorable siblings who are homeless. We want them to have lives just as great as Mac and Sunny do, but we need help. If anyone is interested in taking some (or all!) 3 kittens, please let us know. If they’re anything like their brothers, they’ll be great pets :)

ps- the orange one is Sunny and he’s not for adoption ;)
