Whitey Wobble’s Busy Week

Posted on May 15, 2013 by catdepot

My mom loved her flowers!

Meow Mighty Lou,

Hope you remembered that today is Mother’s Day! My Aunt Amy helped me get my Mom’s favorite flowers and I gave them to her this morning. She was so happy!

Keeping mom off her feet

This has been a busy week for me. I have been taking care of my Mom. She had a little accident getting off my Dad’s Harley and twisted her knee. The doctor says she can’t play golf or walk very far for 2 weeks. I have to sit on her to keep her down. She is doing better and can do a little more now with her knee brace on.

I'm the only caregiver in this house!

Harley doesn’t understand and I have to fight him off when he jumps on Mom. Mom says I’m her little angel! I think she means Great Caped Caregiver! I have been wearing my Cape so that Mom remembers that I’m in charge.

The Caped Caregiver!

Have a great week, Mighty Lou. You know where to find me if you need me, good buddy. Make your mom feel special today! Our moms gave us forever homes and I hope lots more moms go to Cat Depot and find their forever cats to take home.

Later good buddy,

Whitey Wobbles

Trying it on for size

Dear Whitey,

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom hurting herself. You are doing one good job of sitting on her to keep her down. They sure do like to move around, don’t they? Isn’t it nice when they sit in one spot and let us rest with them? I love it. I wonder if my mom can have a trip on the Harley so she can hurt herself just enough to let me take care of her for two weeks. (Uh oh, did I just say that?)

Yes, I remembered it was Mother’s Day today. I see these other cats around here trying to claiming her for their own but I know I’m Number One in her book. I gave her some kisses this morning. She loves my tuna breath all over her face, I just know she does.

They got a nice orchid to take to my grandma today. I thought I would get up where I’m not supposed to be and try it on as a hat.

Just Right!

After a little adjustment, I think I got it just right. I like it off to the side just a bit. Don’t you think it’s a good look for me?

Have a good week, my caped friend. We’ll blog next week.

Your friend,

Mighty Lou

Someone's got to keep up the tough guy image.

Oh Dude!

What are you thinking…wearing a flowery hat? That is going to wreck our “tough” guy image! No more flowers on your head! Give them to your Grandma….she is a girl and they love flowers. The only time us Caped Dudes can wear flowers is on Halloween. I do have to say, you looked mighty cute with the orchid on your head! Did you get in trouble or were you smart and you didn’t let the humans catch you?

Time to go sit on my Mom. She is trying to do too much!

Later Caped Hero!

Whitey Wobbles

The mightiest

I, Mighty Lou, do not get into trouble.

I, Mighty Lou, rule the roost!

I am, after all, Mighty Lou.

Later Dude.

Whitey’s Weekend

Posted on May 6, 2013 by catdepot

Meow Mighty Lou!

Whitey's Cousins at the Beach

Looks like you had a great weekend. That sliding stuff looks pretty cool. By the way, you really look cool in your Cape! My Week end was crazy to put it mildly. My Mom brought my 2 cousins (Sophie & Savanna) over to stay with us while their Mom and Dad went on vacation.

Lucky me

My Mom also decided to do a friend a favor and watch her 2 dogs for 5 days…yep, dogs!

Another Dog!

To top it off, Sophie & Savanna brought their dog, Eddie, with them! It was like an invasion from outer space. Dogs & kids everywhere.

I tried to stay out of the way much of the time.

Getting a bath

I am teaching Harley to be one of my “peeps”. He bathes me and makes donuts on my back.

Birdwatching

This morning we spotted some birds right outside the window. That was pretty exciting, but we couldn’t get at them!

A visit to Cat Depot

I told Sophie & Savanna all about the Cat Depot. Sophie knows about it cause she went to “Critter Camp” last summer. She is going again this June. Maybe you & I can go?? Sounds like they have fun…even made treats for the cats last year.

Sophie & Savanna went to visit all the cats at The Cat Depot. They came home and told me all about the cats & kittens (over 130) that don’t have forever homes yet. Wish we could go get all of them and bring them to our houses! My Mom says I can’t.

Anxiously awaiting the baking festivities

Well, I better go help my Mom. She is getting ready to bake goodies for the tour at Cat Depot on Thursday. I like to sit on the counter and watch. Sometimes Harley & Daisy join me.

Keep up the exercise..you look awesome, dude!

Until next week,

Whitey Wobbles

Mighty Lou’s Monday News

Posted on May 6, 2013 by catdepot

Mighty Lou at the top of the slide

Dear Whitey,

Talk about a busy weekend! I think my parents heard you talking about your exercise program. Evidently they thought I needed some exercise, too, so they whisked me off in the car. We went to a park and here’s how my adventure went:

I sat at the top of the slide to survey the area. It was a nice park and I was pretty happy I was there. I was thinking:

Should I?

Dare I?

I did have my cape on.

Down the slide

And then, yes I did it…

I slid right down that slide like I’d done it all my life!

My parents thought I must have fallen so they put me at the top again.

I slid again.

And I did it a third time.

I loved it!

Me beating Dad

Dad and I did a few rounds with the basketball.

Once I beat him the fun was over so I moved on.

Enjoying the See-Saw

It was Mom’s turn to entertain me so we did something more quiet.

I liked the see saw.

Each time we came down my cape flew in the breeze.

Pull-ups are hard

Pull ups were not as easy.

I did have to use a little back foot action to help me.

Swinging!

Swinging was fun.

My cape could really flow in the breeze.

People were impressed because it looked like I was flying around.

Time for a rest

After all that activity I needed a break.

This nice shady bench was perfect for a nice little cat nap.

I had to look around to make sure my parents were occupied somewhere else so I could get a break from the activity.

It was really a nice day.

Might Lou in the park.

Who knew?

Until next week, you be good, my caped brother.

Exercise is Growing on Whitey

Posted on May 1, 2013 by catdepot

Exercise is Ok

You aren’t gonna believe this, Mighty Lou! I actually am liking this exercise stuff. Look what I learned to do today…stretch back legs while doing deep knee bends with my front legs! Am I good or what? That’s what Cape power can do.

Try it. It would be good for your legs. My Mom says it is important for you to exercise with your diabetes.

Whitey Wobbles

Dear Whitey,

I saw that picture of you doing and enjoying your exercises. That’s not for me. Please ask your mom not to insist that I exercise to strengthen my legs.

Mighty Lou prefers his "close to the ground" stance

My legs work fine for me just the way they are. As you can see by this photo, they keep me closer to the ground and closer to any stray food laying around.

You keep up the exercise my caped friend. You’ll be big and strong to protect our caped domain.

I’ll keep doing it my Mighty Lou way.

Later!

Mighty Lou’s Weekend Caper

Posted on May 1, 2013 by catdepot

Dear Whitey,

Exciting weekend over here!

I eat in the kitchen and keep seeing my humans get my food out of this little room inside the kitchen. Seems like all of the good stuff is in there. I always try to see what’s in there but they are quick to shut the door on me. If they can always come up with food from there, I figure it must be stocked with stuff I’d like to get into. My eye is always on it. Well, this weekend my mom made a mistake. She left the door open just enough.

Mighty Lou checking out the secret cabinet

With just a little flip of my mighty paw, I was able to push the door all the way open. I went in to look around. Just as I thought! It was stocked with good stuff. Now the only question was what did I want?

Decisions, Descisions

Ah, here we go. I can get this out of here with little or no trouble. Just a little tug.

Success!

And it’s down. Now let’s see how to get into it. It’s not in the usual can so it’s probably easier to open.

Seems soft and easy to get into. Let’s see……what’s the best approach?

Let me just get on the other side here and get into this thing. Maybe if I brace it with my body I can get a better grip on it.

I can smell Victory!

You’ll see that when I braced it with my mighty left paw I was able to get a good grip on it and bite through the plastic.

This is going to be good! It’s big and tasty and I am going to party!

Settling in to enjoy the stolen snack

Curses! Right after this picture was taken, my mom took my treasure away from me.

All my work was for nothing.

In the end I didn’t get the snack I was after and I had to wait for dinner.

You ask how she found out?

You ask why my mission was foiled?

You ask how the Mighty Man lost his prey?

Tattletales!

Well I ask you to just look above my head in this picture and you’ll see the two little stool pigeons!

They brought mom in to see what was going on!

Stoolies!

I’ll get ‘em!

Until next week, Dude.

Mighty Lou

Hey Mighty Lou,

You need to keep a better eye out for those darn “spy girls”. If you have to put your Cape on….do it!

Whitey's new nap location

My weekend was not quite as much fun or exciting as yours. My Mom decided that all 3 of us 4-legged kids were getting a little too lazy and that we eat too much. Guess what that means? EXERCISE! Oh no. I just found a good place to take long naps!

Whitey doing Pilates

The 1st exercise we do is stretching. Mom says this is Pilates. Ya right….

More exercises

Next we do knee bends.

Whitey does the Curl

Lastly is the curl…I’m good at that.

Safe in my new hiding place

I will find a good place to hide tomorrow to avoid this exercise stuff.

Humans think exercise is good for us…keeps us limber and less body fat is good. I’m not sure why, I just listen! Mom says if we play with our toys more and chase each other, that counts too! I’m off to chase Harley! More next week good buddy.

Meow,

Whitey Wobbles

Daisy Doodles Writes a Check?

Mighty Lou Poolside

Happy Summer…….well, almost!

It’s been warm around here so I decided it was time to break out the pool gear and get out there.

Those girls are bothering me again. They’re always all over the place and looking at me. I give them the Ole Mighty Lou stare and they run. Sometimes I run after them but it’s just been too hot lately. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the summer warmth on my old bones, but sitting poolside always makes me feel a little cooler and more relaxed. The girls are not allowed outside so I can be alone. I think my humans let me go out because they know I can’t run off with my limpy legs. At night when no one is looking I’m working out though and I think my legs are getting stronger. One of these days I’ll shock everyone and just take off for the hills. I’ll come back though because I have it made here, but I’ll show off anyway.

: Just Lounging

Do you ever get to go the pool? I love it. Just thinking, sunning and being Mighty Lou. My humans got me a pair of sunglasses. What the heck?! Do they really want me to wear these? I’m Mighty Lou. I do not do sunglasses. I have beautiful, expressive eyes why hide them behind shades? I’m wearing my mighty cape tag and my bell already, how much do they want me to wear? Humans. What are we going to do with them?

You know, Whitey, I’m pretty lucky. I was on the streets, sick, hungry and with no place to go. There really wasn’t any hope that I was going to live much longer. If it wasn’t for those girls from Cat Depot who scooped me up and took me in, I wouldn’t be out here at the pool. I wouldn’t be anywhere. You ever think about that? We are really two lucky felines. So if our humans want to buy us sunglasses, give us a birthday party like you just had or do anything else, shouldn’t we just let them have their way? They gave us a way……a way to continue living.

Oh no she DIDN'T!

You see what I mean? A guy has a reflective moment and feels a little tug of thanks on his heart and this is what happens! You have got to watch these humans every single second. I’m tellin’ ya it’s a never-ending chore.

Mighty Lou - Out!

That’s the end of my relaxing day at the pool. Foiled again by human intervention. I’ll write you again next week but right now I’m out of here.

Cape Power Love,

Mighty Lou

We think alike!

Whitey Wobbles Poolside

Hey Mighty Lou,

I was just thinking about you as I put my towel by the pool to get some sun. Daisy always gets the lounge, and I prefer to be closer to the water where I get the “sea breeze”. I have to use lots of sunscreen since I’m so fair. I can’t believe you let your peeps put pink sunglasses on you! Come on dude…don’t let them catch you off guard like that.

I have been busy training baby Harley. Now that he is the big “1,” I don’t have to watch him so much. He is always getting in trouble though. I plan to spend more time relaxing this summer. Looks like you are doing the same.

We are so lucky to have been adopted from the Cat Depot. My Mom was just going to Foster me until my broken leg healed, but I convinced her & my Dad to keep me forever. It was easy! I purred all the time and snuggled them whenever they picked me up. I was pretty cute if I have to say so myself. My 3 siblings and I were dropped off at the old Cat Depot on 301. We had to stay in small cages…not like the luxury suites at the new Cat Depot! Thanks to a lot of generous people & volunteers, they built a “Ritz” for cats! I hope they all get forever homes like we did.

Green toys are the BEST!

Hey, I have a cool fact for you that I read on my Mom’s computer. We see green and blue the best. That explains my favorite toy.

Glad to hear you are exercising your legs. You have made great progress since your new Mom & Dad took you to their home forever. I know they really love you.

I guess they are ok....sometimes.

I guess you have to put up with all those girls like I have to put up with baby Harley and “Princess” Daisy. They are good snugglers though!

Hope we can meet at The Cat Depot again soon, good buddy.

Cape Power rules!

Birthday Present for Whitey Wobbles

Posted on April 1, 2013 by catdepot

Whitey Wobbles with his Birthday Present

Hey good buddy!

I wanted you to see the cool birthday present I got this morning. Feathers are my favorite! I also got some stinky little pillow…my brother stole that already. When I’m done playing with my feathers, I will chase Harley down and get my stinky pillow. It’s great having a birthday. I get to eat treats whenever I beg today!!!

More later, Mighty Lou…Harley is bugging me. I’m off to teach him a lesson!

Your Caped friend,
Whitey Wobbles

Happy Birthday, Dude!

This is your day. You get to keep all your toys, treats and the stinky pillow. Harley needs to back off. Go teach him a lesson. And enjoy your birthday!

Mighty Lou

Harley’s in Trouble

Posted on March 29, 2013 by catdepot

Harley Showing Off His New Bow Tie

I’m on a time out for the whole day and wondered if any of you can convince my Mom to let me off. I turned the radio on at 4 this morning to listen to some music and my parents got all mad at me! I just don’t understand! I do love my new bow tie my Mom bought me. What do you think? She said it’s for my birthday. I will be the big “1″ on March 25th!

Meow….Harley Snider

The Wise and All-Knowing Mighty Lou

Harley,

The problem is that you got CAUGHT turning the radio on. Always wait until your sister is around, turn the radio on and then run. They will think she did it. She’ll go into time out and you’ll be free to enjoy your music.

You’re young. You’ll learn.

Mighty Lou

You are the best mighty Lou! I hope I’m as smart as you when I grow up. Maybe I will earn “Cape Power” someday. Whitey Wobbles says “no way”, but I’m gonna try.

Harley

Harley,

It will take you many years to even be considered for the cape.

I’m patient…sometimes. I will work very hard at being a cool dude like you and Whitey.

Harley

Harley, Harley…how the heck did you turn on the music??

Lynn Rasys, Cat Depot

Easy…just stand on the buttons!
