Today I want to share about a mail that we sended to our friends Hello and Mimmy. It is their birthday this month..and it is their BIRTHday gift! Lookit, I am very interested to see what it is. I know what it is, but that will not be revealed to effuryone else until it is received by our friendz!!!

Do you see what we wrote on the box???

Happy Birfday, Hello and Mimmy! We
<3 you!

I have some sad news. With the new approach of the winter, we tried to bring some of the pond fishes indoors but they were too too big for Figaro's new aquarium (that he got for the moneys he won as a top 10 finalist in the petsmart contest). So unfortunately we had to remove the fishes back to the pond and yesterday 2 of our fishes were deaded, Milton and John Nash. Dad-bean buried them in our backyard. Poor poor Milton and John. We are very sad. Here is John (the speckled one, he is a Shubunkin) and Milton (the orange one) in the photo of them when they were still in our aquarium that was too small. They were very good pets. We also have three other fishes in the pond, Vernon, Samuelson and Bazerman. We seen Vernon swimming around near the bottom but there is no signs of Samuelson or Bazerman, who are twins. Maybe they are alive and hiding on the bottom. We really hope Vernon does not die. We buyed them a pond heater and so they should survive. We are hopeful. I think they wented to fishie-rainbow-land.

I have some very very bad news and some instant good news. The bad bad news, Figaro swallowed a 1-foot long ribbon this afternoon. The good news, he is just fine now. I am writing so that anyone on the internet can know what to do in case of ribbon eating by cats.

First, ribbon is very very bad for kitties. You should not have any around!! Mommie was watching the ribbon the ENTIRE time and then she heard Figaro make a cough and he was sitting RIGHT by where the ribbon was. She thinked to herself, Figaro EATED the ribbon!!! :-( That is very bad.

She called our friend S. who is a vet and also our Uncle S. (who takes cares of us a lot) camed over and we had to "induce vomiting". Figaro had to take 2 teaspoons of 3% dilute Hydrogen Peroxide. He had to take 3 doses, 10 minutes apart. That is the Maximum that you can give, and you should give 1 teaspoon per 5lbs of bodyweight. This method works for dogs also. After that, it sometimes takes a while for the kitty to throw up. Figaro did not throw up for 2 hours! But that is okay. He was feeling very sick and nauseous and he was acting like he wanted to sleep a lot. He did not even want to take any Temptashuns. It is important for everyone to know if you do this method, it is o.k. if the kitty does not throws up right away. Also, you have to make sure first if the ribbon is lodged somewhere in the kitty's mouth (it wasnt.)

Finally, Figaro THROWED UP the ribbon. We are so so glad he is ok now!!!

He did not want to eat anything tonight but he is just relaxing and sleeping a little bit. Tomorrow we think he will eat something. He even made a small purr this evening.

Please keep your kitties safe and do not let them play with ribbons! And if this happens to you then call a V.E.T. immediately!!!

Love,

Veronica
