Well, yesterday was "National Cat Day" here in the States. So, here is (albeit a day late) to the celebration of cats everywhere!!!
Speaking of cats, just a little update on our little Kiki since our vet, Dr. Heather, gave us her new meds. For the past month she has been getting her medications twice a day and has been doing rather well. Her sneezing fits have pretty much ceased. As of today, we are to cut back on her prednisone from two dosages per day to just one. If that works, then we will gradually continue to wean her off of that medication all together. We are keeping our fingers crossed! ...
The Wheel of the Year has turned and tomorrow is Samhain to us Wiccan/Pagans and Halloween to pretty much the rest of Americans. I am planning on celebrating with my sister and twin soul, Rhiannon all day Saturday. We have some special things planned for this year's ritual and I am very excited. Although, this will be my first Samhain celebration/ritual since my beloved dad's passing this past February and, for me at least, it will be a bit of a tough one, but with the love and support of my family and friends I know it will be okay.
And so, my dear friends, I wish each and every one of you a very blessed holiday filled with lots of love and many wonderful surprises!
Greetings, my dear friends and Happy Sunday to you!! Just a little update on our male cat, Leo. As you all know, our vet prescribed amitriptyline, a medication to help with his stress and aggression issues. This medication is not like volume and does not "knock the cat out" as in putting them to sleep so that you do not need to deal with their problems or anything of the like. They may; however, become a bit less playful and/or tad listless if over prescribed. At first, Leo was "under prescribed" and so Dr. Heather upped his dosage from a half a pill a day to 1/2 in the morning and a whole at night before bed time. So far, we have seen a huge improvement in his behavior. He is not picking on the other cats near as much as he had been and he is a happier kitty all around. And, quite frankly speaking, so are the rest of us! LOL!

That being said, here is this weeks' Sunday Cat Selection and another one of the cats' Disney favorites ... till next time!!!
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all enjoy the cats' musical video pick. It is "The Siamese Cat Song" from the Disney movie, "Lady & The Tramp." As cute as this song is, it is definitely NOT an accurate description of this beautiful breed's characteristics ~ LOL!
Can you
believe it has been 30 years since the release of Michael Jackson's mega
hit album, "Thriller?" Yep, this was Michael's best-selling album which
sold an astonishing 110 million copies worldwide!
Released on November 30, 1982, this masterpiece, which was produced by the
legendary Quincy Jones, held the number one position on the Billboard
200 chart for 37 straight weeks in 1983 and knocked out seven top 10
singles including "Beat It," "Billie Jean," "Pretty Young Thing," "Wanna
Be Startin' Something," and "Thriller."
I
thought it only fitting to include a couple of Michael's great music vids,
most especially the mini movie which accompanied the hit song,
"Thriller." Enjoy!!!
One of my favorite holiday movies is Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It is a rather unique combination of my two favorite celebrations ~ Yule/Christmas and Samhain/Halloween. This is Danny Elfman as "Jack Skellington" singing, "What's This?" I hope you all enjoy!
You may want to scroll down and hit the "paws" button on my Witchy Cats Playlist so that you can watch this special video my cat Midnight picked out for you called, "Stray Cat Strut" by The Stray Cats. It is truly a cat lovers favorite! And also one for the alley, uh, I mean road called, "I Won't Stand in Your Way" ~ another awesome Stray Cats song!

Aries: Anything, as long as it's got a lot of energy!
Taurus: A turtle: it¹s slow-moving, doesn¹t need a lot of attention, and won¹t compete with its owner for food.
Gemini: A talking parrot; need I say more? Well, of course I do, but--
Cancer: Anything, as long as it needs to be nurtured
Leo: A big, bold, ferocious feline, as long as it doesn¹t compete with its owner¹s place in the sun.
Virgo: Let¹s see, I have to get up at 7:30 to feed it, let it out at 7:45, at 10:00 I need to go to the grocery store to pick up three cans of food, which will cost $3.86, including tax--
Libra: Hm, good question. One the one hand, a dog is active, affectionate, and companionable. On the other hand, a cat is pretty independent and won¹t require as much time and attention. Oh, I don¹t know. What would you do? Are you sure?
Scorpio: A cat. Secretive, mysterious, and unpredictable? What¹s there not to like?
Sagittarius: A horse, of course! Let¹s hope it¹s got enough stamina to keep up with me.
Capricorn: Do I have to pay for it?
Aquarius: A hamster. First, I¹ve got to set up a detailed cage with tubes going from here to here, and an energy sensor--they don¹t make anything like that? That¹s okay, I¹m sure what I come up with will be much better.
Pisces: Fish. When their owner forgets about them for weeks on end, they¹re easy to replace. If Pisces remembers to replace them...
