It’s I
again, Princess Ruby. Last month I blogged about escaping from Ruby-Traz, which
is my version of Alcatraz. Mind you, I do enjoy it here at the clinic.
Sometimes I just want to be able to explore what’s on the outside of these
walls…and of course taste all of the yummy food the world has to offer!
Speaking of food, Thanksgiving has come and gone and do you think I got even a
tiny piece of Turkey?!?! Absolutely not! You would think that someone here
would have the heart to give this Princess at least a nibble, but, apparently
not! It is called ThanksGIVING you know.
We did have
a busy November especially with the big wind storm. Unfortunately, a few weeks
ago something I believe the humans call a tornado hit around this area. We had
several cats and dogs that had to stay with us for shelter. Our awesome staff
took them in with open, loving arms while times were rough. The staff helped in
trying to find their lost owners. They put pictures and descriptions on
Facebook for owners to view. There are still two cats who have not been matched
with their owners yet. We aren't sure if they even had a place to call home
before the storms, but I do hope that we will find their owners soon. I can
barely handle sharing this clinic with Cooper, let alone two more MALE cats!
On a lighter
note, Christmas is right around the corner. My favorite holiday, of course!!
Everyone here is in the holiday spirit, and not to mention…it’s a time for
presents! I feel like I have been an exceptionally good Princess this year. So,
I’m sure Santa will bring me lots of goodies.
“Dear Santa, I like lots of treats!
Any kind of treats, lots and lots of treats.”
Well, I
should probably get going, Cooper is heading up the….ohh, Cooper, are you ok?
He just fell out of the Christmas tree. Silly cat! Every year the technicians
tell him not to do that.
Anyway…Merry
Cat-mas!
XOXO,
Ruby
Hello again, folks!
It’s me Cooper, back to spread some joy. The holidays are fast approaching. This is a time when I notice that most people, even the staff here at the clinic, are very distracted. And it's no wonder, with all of the decorating, shopping, and constant holiday bustle that comes with this time of year.

When you come in to visit us during the holiday season,
you'll notice that our lobby is filled with festive decor! One of my favorite
decorations is the Christmas tree! I love it! So many colors, ribbons, and
lights... but every year, when I finally get a chance out of my busy schedule
to climb to the top and "inspect" all of the decorations on the tree,
it never fails; one of the girls ALWAYS pulls me down and takes me back to the
treatment area. I mean, come on, it is my job to make sure everything's in
order both in the treatment area and the front; they should know this!
Now, I can understand why they are concerned. Many cats
have hurt themselves trying to climb Christmas tree; whether it be from
falling, biting into a string of lights, or even ingesting a long piece of
ribbon or tinsel. With “normal” cats, an owner has to be very careful to keep
these items away, as some Christmas hazards could even be deadly! But the girls
shouldn't worry about me. I've had extensive training.
I don't know about you, but we've still got quite a bit
to do before Santa comes! Speaking of the jolly big guy; what presents are you
hoping for this year? I know what I’m hoping for!! I could really use a new
mouse toy and treats, but I have a feeling that all of the techs are conspiring
to give me a dental cleaning. Not that I couldn't use one, but really girls...
catnip would be appreciated much more.
Well, I better sign off. I hope to see you in the clinic
this month!
Merry Christmas,
Cooper
