News from Meow Manor

 OK! At this point I'll try anything! I have a squirt bottle- but I had not tried vinegar and water. Neri thinks plants are playthings! She rips off leaves and carries them around in her mouth. Cute but the plants are not looking good.

[C Dragonworks]

Sometimes that works better than anything... set it to stream.... if that does not work try Bitter spray,,,Yuck or one of those type things...spray on the plants and let her get a taste of it... Bitter Apple is one but Yuck is another... just ask at a Petco/Petsmart they will have several thoughts on stopping bad kitties!!!!! I lost Fluggle my older Bearded Dragon...the Yellow one. I will miss his silly smile! But he has not been 100% for a bit.... Ended up with a Leopard Gecko who is a MESS! He has metabolic bone disorder and is bent up pretty bad...still a bit rubbery too! So I am hand feeding him and trying to get him healthy! He is a bit worse off than the Water dragon because he is so much smaller! We have named him Curly since I have Moe the Spiny Fence lizard(Swift).  OH yeah and we had another Muttonchop born yesterday!

[Queen Bonnie]

 No disasters today- yet! I repaired the ears on the Egyptian cat Neri broke.
The pepper might be helping. I just show Neri the water bottle and she backs off. She is smart!
So sorry about Fluggle!  Hugs! Hard to lose any pet. He was fun to watch. Good luck with Curly! You need Larry now!
Congrats on the new baby! Must be a busy time there for babies soon!

[C Dragonworks]

Yeah We have at least 2 goats due anytime(2 others maybe)... and then the sheep looks like 2 there could be 3.... no horses this year because Beauty did not take again... so we sold her... a barren broodmare who does not breed and costs lots in mare care is not an asset. Curly is eating well and seems to be trying hard... and who knows when and what Larry or Shep will be??!!!   Hope Neri learns fast Oreo still tries me!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Sounds like a busy time. Glad Curly is doing well!
Neri is smart but persistent too. She tipped over a big plant today.She adores dirt and leaves! I wonder if she will help me plant my veggie garden? I want constructive behavior. Not destructive. She gets lots of time outs on the screened porch when she is bad.
I am hoping all this rain gets out of the system before Sherwood!
It is coming up soon.
I bought my Scarby Season pass. Now looking for rides! I did OK last year.

[C Dragonworks]

Still no baby critters! Yeah I am tiring of the cold,the rain, the overcast...ICK! I want sunshine... some rain is OK but this persistant stuff is old! You just need to find toys Neri likes! Maybe get her a couple of big leaves and a palm frond or two that she can haul around and kill... Oreo is sulking...I have been on the computer a bit more than he thinks I should... Hauling horses in the AM so gotta keep this short... if we have new babies tomorrow will let you know! Still trying to work out Sherwood. Grace(Mikes Mom) is gonna be out for the first 3 so no chance there! Maybe the last couple will work out... I want to make it at least one weekend! Things are just hecktic around here!!!!! ALWAYS!

[Queen Bonnie]

 I gave Neri spinach leaves to munch. She did not like them! She has a whole house full of cat toys. She likes to kill her own plants! Can you imagine Oreo and Neri together? They would take over the world- and kill all the plants! LOL!
I HOPE you can make Sherwood Cat! Bring Mikes Mom? Sending a spell so you will find a way.
Nargles in the pool system again! It was ON this AM and would not shut off. I flipped the breaker.
  Another part ordered$$.
Sigh.
I took the MeowMobile for an oil change. And I found some really cute boots at the thrift shop! I love our Elgin thrift shop!
Someone did something incredibly kind for me- so walking on cloud 9. Doing the happy dance.
I am also sick of cold gray days!
I am saving all my weather spells for Sherwood and Scarby!

[C Dragonworks]

Well this AM got up at 5:30.... got out to load the horses and found the truck would not move. All the rain last night made it squish and slick.... So tried to bckup nd was doing it till I hit a slippery spot with the rear wheel and it slid over and would not move! So had to wait till sunup to use the tractor to pull it up on the road... so rather than gallop we took the boys to swim instead! Very odd morning! I can imagine Oreo and Neri together!!!! That would be hilarious.... I was thinking you need to bring in oak leaves and such and put them in bowls near the plants and see if she plays with them instead... never know..it works with SOME!  Sorry to hear of your swimming hole issues... not good... Nargles are really bad!!!!

[Queen Bonnie]

 I hope your horses enjoyed their swim!
  Not sure anything would be left of the world if Oreo and Neri ever got together. They both are so full of the devil!
I will see if she will play with any leaves she does not personally kill! Good idea!
Right now she is beating up Batman.
Nice to see the sun today.

[C Dragonworks]

Hanging up and crazy crunchy toy is a great way to keep here busy! Mine love the mylar crackle balls... hanging them off a door handle so she has to jump a bit to hit it works wonders... anything she can attack!!!! That is all that keeps Oreo out of some things!!!!  We got a new cow today... she is same breeding as Georgie Girl so we named her Mae West...Moo moo big bull!  Got Danny Kaye a new blue halter today and got our Franken-Cupid display up at the gate today!!!!! He just has SOOO many incarnations!

[Queen Bonnie]

 She has toys everywhere. She loves those crinkle balls!
I will see what I can rig up on the porch to hang stuff from. She loves her cat fish toy.
So far she is doing better. I just show her the squirt bottle and she behaves!
LOL!
Yayy to a new cow. I'd love to see what you did for Valentines day! Frankencupid? He must be looking for his bride!
My love life here still goes Meow!
  No cupids in my life- but maybe robin Hood's arrow might fine a love for me at faire? LOL!
Dream on!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Neri dirt bombed the kitchen this AM. She can now jump on the kitchen counter- oh JOY!- and dug up a plant there. What a mess! Luckily she did not break the pot. The plant is a goner.
She also stole the stopper out of my bathtub! That was funny! She had to get it off a chain! I found it under my bed- after much looking.  A friend at my vet said to try to hang in until her terrible twos are over- then she might mellow out a bit. I was ready to give her away this AM.
Tachi's insulin was recalled and his new meds are double the price!
Glad I am healthy! Spending my $$$ on cats!
I need faire!

[dbaldock]

Do they make mostly straight jackets for kittens?      

[Queen Bonnie]

 She could get out of it! LOL! One of her favorite things to do is untie shoes- even people who visit are not safe!
  I tried kitten proofing the kitchen counters yesterday. Moved more plants in the garage.  OK this AM- so far.
getting excited about Media day at Sherwood this Saturday!
I think my weather spell might work!
