Who, me??!?! A winner?

I was very surprised and happy to find out that my Valentine to Icon Baxter Bentley won Skeezix's Valentine's Day contest! It must be because of Icon's good looks. Me with the saggy belly, waxy ears, and bad heart, I have never won anything in my life, never, ever ever. My eyes are leaking a little bit. This is the best day I ever had. Thank you to anycat who voted for me. And Thank you Skeezix, for the great contest.

Who, me??!?! A winner?

Medication Monday with Pixie

Hi! It is me, Pixie! I want to share with you my weekly medication regimen. I have already told you that I have hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. I also have severe asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, extremely severe left atrial enlargement, and history of syncope, and sinus arrest with ventricular escape rhythm. I am not sure, but I think that might mean I am a little bit sick. But I have had this condition for over 5 years now.

Here are the medications I take every day: Dilacor, Enalapril, Spironalactone, and Plavix. They all have to be cut up into halves or quarters. My Mommie prepares my pills for an entire week, and stores them in my special pill box. The Dilacor comes in a big capsule. My Mommie opens the capsule, and takes out the tablets inside the capsule; these get cut in half for my daily dose.
Some of the pills have a very bad taste. And I do not like to take FOUR pills. So, I get a special cheeseball with pills inside. I don't really chew up the pillball, but the cheese makes the pills stick together, and they slide right down my throat. After all these years, I am pretty good about taking my medicines.
I also go to a cardiologist every 9 - 12 months and have an echocardiogram of my heart! I do not enjoy going there very much though.

I would like to tell Icon Baxter Bentley that, when he asked me to be his valentine, my heart felt young again! Do not feel sorry for me, I am happy almost all of the time. Except when Daisy tries to chase me around. But then my Mommie says "Daisy, NO NO." I like when she says that. A lot.

ps: Daisy wanted to show another picture of her belly for Skeezix. But I said NO! It is my turn today!

Fashion Show Friday: Our Valentine Party Dresses!

I have decided to wear my red and white polka-dotted party dress. It has spaghetti straps to show off my shoulders, and rows of frilly ruffles. I love it because it is very festive.

Here is another view. See, the front is cut away for ease of movement. This means I will be able to dance in this dress. Also, I think Skeezix will like it because my tummy shows!

Pixie is wearing a more formal gown, since she is older and more mature. It came from China, which is where I think all of the famous design houses are. Hers has beautiful embroidery on the white sleeveless top. The skirt is shiny pink satin! I think Icon will like Pixie in this dress because he is a very classy cat.

Here is another view of Pixie's frock, where you can see the beautiful flower appliques on the waistband and hem. Also, this dress has TWO layers: a deep pink underlayer, and the pale pink outerskirt. It is very sophisticated!

We also wanted to show our support to Mom Robyn from Hot(M)BC today. She has done so much for the cat blogging community, and we really appreciate everything she has done for everycat. And, I really hope she is feeling better soon too! Because she is so special, and Pixie and I love her.

Fashion Show Friday: Our Valentine Party Dresses!

Thursday Thirteen, edition #7

Thirteen things Pixie and I need to do to get ready for our Valentine's party dates with Icon and Skeezix:
1. Pick out a really cute outfit to wear
2. Help Pixie find something to wear
3. Get some Cover-Stick to hide the scar on my belly
4. Polish our toenails
5. Brush our teefs really good so we have minty-fresh breath (just in case)
6. Start an exercise program. Do you think we can shape up in one day?
7. Buy CosmoCat magazine so we can learn about what boycats like. Even though I am pretty sure it is catnip, toys, and Temptations. Also, very fast strollers.
8. Tape a quarter to my foot so we can call home, just in case
9. Practice conversations: "Hi Skeezix. Your muscles look nice tonight." "Icon, what is your favorite sport?" "How 'bout this weather tonight?"
10. Practice conversations some more. A lot more.
11. Try on makeups and perfumes
12. Clean waxy ears and trim toenails
13. Bake cookies to bring to party

Wow, we have a lot to do!

Decisions.....

Pixie and I have been going through our closet and trying on outfits to figure out what we are going to wear to the Valentine's party on Friday at Beau Beau and Angie's. This is going to be a tough decision. I can't find just the right outfit yet.....

Oh no! Pixie wants to wear the same outfit that I want to wear. We are having a stare-off to see who will win. I have tried to explain to her that I want to look special for Skeezix. She said she does not care! Because she wants to look good for Icon! On Fashion Show Friday we will show you what outfits we decided on.

And finally, for sweet Skeezix, here is one more tummy shot!
