All About Moki

Moki met grandma a few days after she came to live with me...I think she was about 4 weeks old here. She grabbed grandma's fortune cookie right out of her hand!

Moki quickly discovered the computer...she loves to help mommy type and sometimes, like in the picture below, I find her surfing the web all by herself!

At about 6 weeks old, Moki's personality really started coming out. She's part devil, part angel, very intense and has lots of Tortitude! (Apparently all Tortoiseshell cats have Tortitude.) She loves her ball track toy, but to be honest, plays with regular things like pens, earrings and balled up paper more!

And today, at 8 weeks old, she had her vet appointment. Now she's a sleepy baby...

Moki at 8 Weeks

My new little kitty Moki is 8 weeks old now...and weighs all of 2.3 lbs! She had a vet checkup today. She still has a few round worms, so she got another treatment for that, her first round of vaccinations and a flea/heartworm/etc. treatment to do at home. She has another appointment in three weeks for more vaccinations. She was very brave and all the staff ooohed and ahhhed at how pretty she is. Duh, she's the most beautiful kitteh eva! Earlier in the week, I snapped these shots of her playing with (then taking a nap in) my bra! Hilarious.

Worst Fear

Aside from surviving a tornado and being blown into a tree with my clothes stripped off, THIS is my worst fear! Dying alone and being eaten by cats! This one of the many reasons I will never have more than  one cat!

Introducing Moki

One month to the day that I lost Bridget, I brought home a new kitty. She is a teeny-tiny Tortoiseshell cat who was rescued in San Antonio. Moki is a take on the last name of the people who found her and is an alternative spelling for Moqui, the old word for the Hopi Indians. Moki is fiesty and sweet and has already stolen my heart! 

In the "Is this for real?" category...

Spotted these today when a friend posted a link on Facebook. These have to be a joke, right? Humane for who? My cat would NEVER have let me put these on her! Nail Caps for your Cat's Claws!

And then there's Bacon Bandages. And Mmmvelopes - when you lick them shut, they taste like bacon. Yep. For real. In fact, there's an entire company devoted to making products taste like bacon. Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Pop (that's Coke for us Texans), and more.  

Oh my, there are even bacon mints and bacon gumballs out there! 

Weird.
