Spay Day for Tessa.

Tessa, growing up fast! 2012 © Colehaus Cats.

The time has come. Already, our little found kitten is ready for that big vet date. It’s spay day. After surgery, she’ll stay overnight at our favorite local vet who specializes in cats only and where Tessa will receive 24/7 attention and care until we bring her back home.

As our little girl spends her first big night away from home and goes through her procedure, please keep her in your thoughts.

A daily favorite. Tessa Loves Baker Cat and hope you do too! Turn up those speakers!

Pia and the rest of us Colehaus Cats mew a big THANK YOU for visiting our blog via Cat Blogosphere. We’ll make Mom get our birfdays and Gotcha days and Blogoversary day entered on the CB Calendar. We hope to visit* every single one of you. Thank you again!

*Seth: If we’re not already lurking on your blog like over on Huffle’s.
Maxx: What’s a lurking?
Newton: You know, it’s how I know when you’re in the litterbox but you can’t see me. That’s because I’m LURKING! Mwahahahaha
Maxx: That’s not even remotely funny.

Meet the New Kitten – Pia Bean!

Welcome Pia to Colehaus Cats! May 2012 © Colehaus Cats.

The day has arrived! Welcome Pia Bean (a.k.a. Bo)! A big THANK YOU to West Columbia Gorge Humane Society. And especially, Foster Mom D who cared so well for her, THANK YOU!

Temporarily ensconced in her lavish bedroom retreat, little Pia is enjoying all the perks of sequestered kittenhood: The finest food, the freshest water, twice a day litter scooping, humans at her beck and call. And call she does. Pia has the tiniest, squeakiest, highest pitched mew ever. Who wouldn’t want to rush to her attention with that teensy voice?

Answer: NO ONE! The cute is extra strong with this one.

Pia is eating and drinking well and is up to two pounds, five ounces. She’s had her shots and her first nail trimming (Oh boy! Mom can begin healing!) She’s also laid claim to a number of straws and a “crinkle mouse” as her personal toys of choice. As has been a rule here at Colehaus, naturally the green straws garnered her attention first, and were the first to disappear under the nightstands. No worries! Here’s Tessa’s red straws! Nom, nom, nom… Good thing Colehaus is well stocked with red straws.

A week later, Newton took to Pia from the start, as did Seth (it’s an orange cat thing, they swear), but the road was bumpy meeting Tessa. Of course, that was yesterday. Today they are tearing up the hallway, chasing each other left and right. Next month, we predict we won’t be able to separate the two. We think Tessa will have Pia believing she’s gray, not orange. Or maybe it’ll be the other way around!
