Poor Lotte

Lotte got back home yesterday, and our VET told us she needed to wear a cone for 10 days. So we got a little cat cone, and she wore it, bumping her cone to everything in de house, etc. but no real harm done. Philip (our 8 year old syberian) was hissing to her, because of that stupid cone, but still, it was ok.

This morning, still nothing weird, untill she started to wrestle with the cone, and from one moment to another, she jumps up, screaming, nails out... Her cone shifted a little because of the pressure from her "wrestling match"with it, and she got the cone stuck in her mouth... it was bleeding already. So I yelled to my husband to get some scissors, and I hold her, cut the bandaid that holds her cone, and "released" her. I held her as a baby for quite some time (usually she doesn't like that so much). And I asked my husband to call the VET, what to do now, but 1 thing was for sure, that cone was not coming on again!

15 minutes later, my husband went to a VET in the neighbourhood, to get us a "kitty bodysuit". It's way more comfy, and she has a lot of freedom in it.

This is how she looks in it.

Rolling on her Back

Lotte getting neutered today...

This week, Lotte will be 6 months old, today she went to the VET to get neutered...
Tomorrow evening will be getting her back, and we're really curious how she will be like, different or just her active self... we'll see.

This picture is taken yesterday, right after her nap...
Her eyes are green, and her coat is shiny black

I will keep you posted if something new will happen...
Btw, cards are on their way to get posted, but I have troubles making good pictures at the moment.

Christmas card

Wow, It's been a while, since i've posted some new stuff, but well, it's very busy here, with that little devil (aka Lotte), and all the medical stuff we've been and going through.

This card is 1 of the many kinds of christmas cards i've made for my friends and family. BUT the only one i've been able to make a picture of. Why? because I simply forgot to make a pic of the other ones, and they are in the mail allready.

Hope you do like this card... And I hope the receiver does too!

Philip meets baby Lotte

Philip meets Lotte for the first time... Our big guy doesn't know what to do, and he started hissing... (he never ever did that before)

He went to the livingroom, and that's it.

Lotte is so tiny, but smells pretty bad (the smell from the shelter she's from).

I take her out of her "bench" and clipped her nails (just as Philips nails are). 

She has a kitten litterbox, but the firs thing she did after taking a run, is going into Phil's (clean) litterbox... she sniffed and sniffed, and crawled out. Just too funny!  After that we made a little mistake... we have lots of cabinets in our kitchen... and she crawled underneath and behind one...OOPS

Next thing was taking her to a seperate room in her safe place (the travel bench), with water, food and her litterbox, so she can sleep and get used to the new situation without her brothers, sister and mom.

Only thing I hope, is that Phil will play daddy soon, and stops hissing asap...

New 'baby' in the House

So Sorry for the silence, but a lot is going on here.
Next to a lot of medical stuff, there is some fun stuff too...
Her name is Lotte. She is a 8 week old kitten, and she will be joining our family starting thursday.
So Philip (our 8 year old cat) will have a little baby girl to care for and teach, and have fun with, cuddle with etc.

I will "bore" you with lots of pictures of our little one soon...
