This will be short because mom is sick with a 102.4 temperature. She has a bacterial infection in her lungs, whatever that means. Anyway, before mom got really sick today, she gave me lots of my favorite thing in the whole world, Meow Mix treats. Usually, I only get two a day because they are fattening. But, mom knows I'm a little upset, so she gave me more.
I'm upset because she is taking care of 2 feral kitties that need to learn to like humans, so they can get a good home someday. So, she has been cuddling them quite a bit, and that makes me feel insecure. Dad will have to cuddle them this weekend cause mom is really not up to it.
This week Weekend Cat Blogging is being hosted by Catsynth so go over there to see where all the cool cats are. And, before mom got sick, she wrote a nice thing about how we met and how I got my name. It's at Skeezix's Scratching Post. And if you want to vote for me there, that's cool too!
Sher,
So sooorry U are very sick this weekend. Plez get well sooon!
Sooorry, Upsie, sometimes we must share the things we love the most.
Love,
Bonnie

Sorry to hear you're not well. When you're better, check out Thing 1 (or is it Thing 2??) on my site

Awww poor Sher! I hope you're feeling better SOON! Being sick sucks. Poor Upsie is surely worrying about her mom. You're so kind to be giving some loving to the feral kitties. Are they really anti-social? Are they in their own space?

As sson as this photo loaded, I was laughing so hard! You always come up with the most droll captions for your Upsie posts. Thanks for that. Tell Upsie to be useful and make you some chicken broth. Hope you're better very soon.

Oh Sher! Oh man, I am so sorry you're sick! That sounds pretty nasty. If I could, I come and feed you a big bowl of your own salmon, ginger, and rice soup which, by the way, I made the other evening. Delicious! Take care of yourself, okay?

My husband & I just experienced the whopping cough so I can really empathize with you. Being sick is just the pits. Get that kitty to curl up on you tummy and keep you warm. Feel better soon.

I hope that your are feeling a lot better now...
Upsie is absolutely gorgeous on this picture! Her hair is superbly fluffy and nicely combed.
Those 2 kitties are really cute!

Oh Upsie! Your poor mommy. Give her a cuddle and tell her I hope she feels better soon. And be nice to those 2 kitties. They don't yet have the wonderful parents you have. :)

Sending big get well wishes from the east coast. That's a high fever, and somehow I bet a lung infection is uncomfortable. I'm guessing it involves a lot of coughing.
The expression on Upsie's face is priceless -- she looks good and irritated. I guess sharing the house with squirrels is bad enough, but kittens? Talk about irritating.
