yumiko wif safestixAll des years of pickin up a stick n throwin it fur a doggy pal and we never knew just how dangerous dat could be. Wooded sticks and twigs have sharp jaggedy edges dat can stab a doggy in da mouth n gums and makes dem bleed. Little bits of sticks can break off and choke a doggy. Or dey could swollow dem and cut up der throats and guts! Heck da stick could even get stuck in da ground a poke out da doggies eye. (now I r skeered of sticks too! ma humanz sumtimes throws lil sticks when I am in da yard wif dem cause I run affer dem, but I dunt fetch or chew on dat sticks likes doggies do.)

When humanz pick up dem sticks to throw fur a fun game of fetch dey dunt allows stop to fink about da safety of da game dey r playin.  but it did not takes me too long to finds some furrends dat actually had bad stick injuries so I fink it iz time to stop and finks afore u throw dat next stick.
yumiko wif safestixA great alternative to off da tree limb sticks are [amazon_link id=”B0058ORITY” target=”_blank” ]SAFESTIX[/amazon_link]. Dey are designed by a guy in England and DogToys.com broughted dem over to da USA for to keep doggies safe and now it appears dat KONG iz going to be licensing da toy design too! So you should be able to find [amazon_link id=”B0058ORITY” target=”_blank” ]SAFESTIX[/amazon_link] just about anywhere now!

Da safestix r maded from a tough, non-toxic rubber and hab rounded ends so da toy won’t stick into soft ground (keeps da ends from gettin all muddied up like a real stick doz).

Just like last year we did our bestest to halp both kitties and kiddies. So we did our annual Toys for Tots donation cleanin out da house of some of H2’s collections (we gibbed away all her Beanie Babies we hopes da kids do likes dem) and we buyed some Webkinz for da kids too! I wanted to keep sum of dem soft plushies fur maself but H2 said no dey r for da kids. When H2 dropped da toys off at Toys r Us and da sekurity gurad saw her comin wif three big bags of toys he did fanks her n sed god bless. Dis did make H2 feel really good and knowin all dem kids will hab good xmases makes us all feel goods too.

Toys for Tots

We also did finally gets to gib da donations from last months contest/drive for da box kittehs. We did only raise $180 but H2 rounded it up to an even $200 which Edgar did gib to dem when H2 and Edgar wented to halp wif being Santa Paws at Petsmart. Again I would likes to fanks EVERYBUDDY wot donated for to halp da box kitties!

Sicky BorisAz u all should knows by now I haz been sicky and not online too much da past week. Last Friday I wuz throwin up and poopin liquid poos. It iz bad enuff to hab me barfin cause I NEVER barfs and I did many times thru da day n night. I cry like sumone iz hurtin me big time too when i throws up. But den to top it off with pure liquid poos — dis wuz not good, NO WAY! At least I wuz makin it to da litter box for da poo part so all da humanz needed to clean up were da barfisodes all over da house.

So come Saturday morning ma humanz rushed me to da v-e-t. Dey did poke me and prod me and I hads a fever of 103.5. So I gotted a shot for da fever and meds to takes in case dem foster monsters did gib me giardia or campy bugs! Da humanz were told da meds were yucky tasting and not to use pill pockets or else I would foam at da mouth like a kitteh wif rabies. (skeery no?) So da v-e-t did gib dem a pill shooter, but it wuz too small and would not hold da big yucky pills. So dey had to hold me down and throw da pill in ma throat da old fashion way. Thanks goodness H1 would do it cause the day H2 tried (4 times afore givin up) I did drool and foam at mouth like da v-e-t said. It did make H2 feel so sorry dat herz even tried when I alreddy felt so bad. (I gonna milk dat one for a LONG time now).

Even tho I wuz gettin pills and ma poopin stopped i wuz still not nommin much nor drinkin but ma piddles seemed like lots more so ma humanz gotted worrieder and tooked me back to dat darn V-E-T yesterday. Pffffft!

At Vets OfficeDats when I gotted even more pokes n prods dun to me! Temperature wuz normal. Herz did not feel big hard poops in me so no worries der (but I hate hate hate dat finger poke!). Den dey tooked me in da back to steal sum of ma bloods! Well let me tells u, I wuz not gonna makes it easy on dem no way no how! I did wot dat vet called an alligator death roll every time dey tried to stick me wif dat fing. Ma humanz could hear ma YEOWS from da back room! Den da vet returned wif me wrapped in a blankey, dat is how dey finally got me to gib up ma bloods.

Dey gonna checks ma kidneys, livers and make sure I not gettin diabetes or nuffin like dat. We still waitin on the results of da stolen bloods. Now I haz to make a poopy so da humanz can take in a stool sample for to make sure der no bugs or worms in der still. Danr foster monsters gibbin me fings n makin me sick!!! Oh and dey won’t leave me alone and dey knows I dunt feels good!!

So please pity me! And fanks u all for keepin me in your thoughts, purrs & pwayers through da pawcircle!

Dis stands in da middle of da floor and da light randomly runs in circles on da floor. It makes us kittehs go crazy! Best fing iz you can set speed and time so da toy shuts off by itself (dat alone is a beary pawsum fing). Set it fur 5 or 10 minutes wear out da furkids and it shuts off!

I am sure u alreddy knows wot Angry Birds iz. If not it iz a fun game fur ur phone, ipad or even computer (go download Google Chrome browser and play sum Angry Birds now). It iz a very popular game and u can finds Angry Bird merchandise all over da place. Well Hartz wuz smart enuff to jump on dat bandwagon and dey r makin officially licensed Angry Birds cat toys and dog toys wot r purrty pawsum. We gotted da few toys to try out and guess wot? We gotted some to gib away to ma bloggy readers to. So sum lucky reader gonna wins dem sum way cool toys.

We gotted da Angry Birds Birds Gone Crazy cat toys, which iz a six pack of plastic balls wif rattles in dem in da shape of da different Angry Birds and of course da piggies. I am not a huge fan of balls (not hates dem like Katherine Heigl tho).  But da foster monsters LUB balls and especially ones wif rattles in dem like des. However, dey did only bat dem around a little bit. Seems dey not likes balls unless dey can carry dem around. But dat ok cause we also gotted da Angry Birds Catnip Heads. They are almost as da same fing as balls but betterer cause dey iz Angry Birds MOL. Da catnip heads are refillable…dat means der a pouch wot lets u put fresh catnip in dem and make dem new toys whenever you wants.  Der iz also da Running Bird toys wot vibrate and wiggle der butts when u pull der tails and of course da WAND! we all lubbed da wand toy. Human2 usually removes bells from our toys but since we weren’t going to be playing wif dis one by ourselves herz leaved it on da toy. Boy were we happy herz did too! Da wands come wif two heads so you can swap dem out and hab even more fun wif dis cool toy.

Okay, I knows not everybuddy watches der kitties 24/7 while dey playing wif der toys and even leaves da kitties home alones wif toys all day. Well sum cat toys can be just plain dangerous iffen u doz dat. Fur instance the following two items look harmless enuff but der r dangers fur kitties and I wants u all to be aware of dem.

The products in question are both from the Ourpets brand Go Cat Go! and they are the Darn Yarn Balls and the Sparkle balls, both shown below.

Sparkle Balls
Sparkle Balls have tinsel around dem.

Darn Yarn Balls
Lose yarn and Strings on Darn Yarn Balls.

This time of year everybuddy warns pet owners about the dangers of putting tinsel on ur xmas tree, but wot about having tinsel in your cat toys???

As you can see by da top pikshur the green ball looks ok, but u can seed loops of tinsel comin off the purple ball. Wot kitty would not sit down and nom dem loops til dey got a piece of tinsel out? I knows I would and my foster monsters would too!

Sparkle Ball with loose tinsel

See the loosened tinsel. Could damage a kitties insides!

Da Darn Yarn Balls simply have yarn glued to a thin plastic ball with a metal bell inside. Yes, fun to play wif but also fun to pull yarn off and eat it or even get around neck and strangle kitty!!!

Darn Yarn Ball with Dangerous strings

Darn Yarn Ball with Dangerous strings

Darn Yarn Ball with Dangerous strings and bell

Easily removed from the thin ball once strings were pulled from ball!

Please be careful out der when selecting your cat toys. Never leave your kitty unattended until you know how der gonna play with a toy. Fur sum, non-destructive kittehs, these balls would be fine. But I dunt finks it worth the risk of hurting ur cat or habbin surgery to remove strings, tinsel or bells from their intestines, do u?
