Toes on Tuesday

These toes belong to Smokey!

 He has kissably soft toes...go ahead, we'll wait for you!

Smokey had his annual vet visit the other day, and his blood word came back with slightly elevated kidney values.  We are going to start adding some special food into his diet and go back in three months for another test.  Purrs would be appreciated for this most handsome senior mancat!

Tail, Toes and Tongue Tuesday

 Tail

 Toes (you may need to biggify to see those coffee bean toes sticking out from his balding leg)

 Tongue...that grass is tasty!

The End

Toes on Tuesday

Tanner and Auntie show off their toes...

Toes and Tummy Tuesday

Love those stiff chicken legs Tanner! I don't think Smokey is appreciating the 'show' he is getting!

Tanner loves the nekofly...he is crazy rolling around on the floor. We call him our roly poly!

Toesday Tuesday

Tanner would like to thank everyone for all the purrs yesterday...he felt comforted all day and did remarkably well at the vet school. It was rotation change day too, so he had about 4 students with him at all times. He did not mind the extra heart listening and prodding. He is happy to say that no orifices were invaded during this visit! He tolerated having his blood pressure taken too (they squeeze the base of your tail for this). I believe he behaved so well because of the purrs...thank you all!

His heart remains stable, but they are concerned about his risk for developing blood clots in the left atrium. We are discussing the option of an anticoagulant medication for him. I have many more questions to ask the vet before we start this medicine though.
Now on to our regular post...Toesday Tuesday...

Toes featured today are moms. Tanner has always loved to play with moms toes and enjoys when she sits with him so he can play...

Some kitten is in need of a nail trim....better to catch nekofly with, I suppose.

Got it! Mom's toes are the best!

Toes and Tummy Tuesday

Smokey shows off his cute toes, his yoga skills and his bald belly...in one post!
Giving a good wash to those cute chicken legs...love those spread toes...

Leg down...washing the belly...Smokey washed his belly bald in September 2009, and the hair has not grown back yet.

Here's a close-up of the bald belly...it is nice and warm :)

Have any of you with stress bald patches ever grown the hair back? If so, how long did it take?

Still washing...love the pointed toes and the tail position...you go Goose! Brother Tanner could take some washing lessons from Smokey!

BTW - This is Smokey's favorite place to sleep...he takes over my pillow every night :)

Toesday Tuesday

Smokey is showing off his cute coffee bean toes today...resting on a kitchen chair. This chair is a favorite of all the boys...it is angled so they can sit in it and look right out the door to the bird feeders. Smokey could watch the birds if he would wake up :)

Toes and Tails Tuesday

Tanner was playing hard last night and stopped for a rest in the cube...it was the craziest pose, I was thankful my camera was handy!

Do you have a name for this pose?

Toesday Tuesday - A Contest

Today we feature the toes of two of the Four Crazy Cats...can you tell who they belong to? I'll give you a clue...it's not Tanner!

I'll do a random drawing of the correct answers and send a small gift. Good luck!

Toesday Tuesday

Toe shots today to celebrate Toesday Tuesday!
Tanner's back foot...what long toes!

Smokey was laying on all of his toes except this little bit of a back foot...so precious!

Devon's front arm, in an awkward position :) Looks like an alien arm or something...cute coffee bean toes though!

Enjoy...tomorrow, a surprise visit from some flat cats...wonder what that's about?

Toes on Tuesday

Smokey today showing off his gorgeous toes. They are so soft, it's almost like he's never worked or been outside to rough up those toe pads.
Laying there just asking for his toes to be tickled...who could resist?

I couldn't! Sweet Smokey Feet!!

Tummy, Toes and Two on Tuesday

Cousin Sophie and Smokey enjoying some catnip toys...
Sometimes catnip brings out the naughty :) Or are those flirt whaps?

Smokey back to looking super cute showing off his tummy...

Might as well wash a few toes...

Toes on Tuesday

Today the toes featured are moms. I love to play with her feet! They don't always smell so sweet, but I don't mind.
It's fun to try and grab toes around her feet...it makes playing more challenging.

Sometimes she gets my belly with her toes while I'm trying to play with my toys...this is fun too. Cause then I give her toes a big bunny kick!Sometimes I use her feet and toes as a launching pad...I can push myself off and slide across the floor to get another toy. I love this too!

Other times I just like to lay claim to these toes, so the other boys don't get any ideas...I'm not sharing mom's feet. She's all mine.

Toesday Tuesday

Devon's dainty feet with the super white nails...what a cutie!
