Two more videos

These videos were on my Android tablet, and i couldn't figure out how to get them onto my Youtube account or save them onto my computer, so I had to create another Youtube account as it would only allow me to upload the videos on an account with my gmail address linked to it. I'm happy I finally managed to upload these videos, as I think both of them are so cute! The video with Muffin is correlated with the photo I previously posted on here, and the other one is of Cedric getting comfy on his pillow. :-)

Guinea Pigs Pee A LOT.

I now feel comfortable putting Muffin on the bed with Stray and even with Miracle on the bed at the same time now.. I think she now knows that Muffin is also a pet, not a toy. Still, I supervise them closely when they're on the bed together. But there is NO way I could teach Cedric to ignore the Guinea Pig if he was on the bed with her. That cat is WHACKED.

However, I can only allow Muffin to stay within the parameters of the baby blanket that is specifically placed on the bed for her to crawl on, along with the bunch of towels placed under it, as if she pees it DOES leak through to the sheets on my bed.. even if she is on the blanket with a towel beneath it. But she often drinks over half a bottle of water a day, so I suppose it all has to go somewhere..

Anyhow, I also wanted to mention something else on here that is off-topic, but since I am an advocate for animal rights I felt it was important. If you haven't already heard, Congress is going to legalize the slaughtering of horses in the US. If you are also against the slaughtering of these beautiful creatures, you can sign the petition to ban horse slaughtering here. As of currently, a little over 13,100 signatures are still needed, and the deadline to sign is December 20- so don't wait to sign!

Vitamins, mites and exotic pets

I'm trying to give Muffin a bit more excercise by letting her crawl on my bed at least once a day, plus it also helps her socialize more with 'mommy' (me, obviously). However, now I've learned to cover the blanket with a towel, as she did happen to poop on the bed yesterday..

In addition, I've also realized that it is far easier giving Muffin her vitamins once she is already exploring on the bed. And as for the yellow stains it causes, it actually will come off of her fur the next day- though fortunately I barely got any yellow on her today.

I'm really thinking that her convulsions are more due to stress than mites, but she does itch, so I will continue giving her the Revolution the next month anyways.. plus, I already paid for it of course. And otherwise, she is still very active and eats, drinks, and goes to the bathroom normally so it definitely appears that she is healthy.

On a random note, I'm watching Fatal Attractions on Animal Planet right now, and it makes me wonder how people could have all these crazy exotic animals as pets- such as buffalo and crocodiles. Yeah, I think little Muffin is about as far as I will go in terms of having an exotic pet. Well, I would also consider getting an iguana or bearded dragon- iguanas are vegetarian so I wouldn't have to worry about feeding it crickets or any other critters, but still, bearded dragons are so sweet!

Oh, and I also really like parrots. Ok, ok, I think certain exotic animals would be cool as pets, but for now it will be just Muffin, the cats, and the frogs.

Cute Video and Photos

Yesterday, I was feeling really bummed and depressed (or "impressed" as Patrick the starfish from the TV show, Spongebob, puts it... umm, never mind) before going to work, and then I spent a few minutes with my animals and felt considerably better. Of course, I still ended up having a crappy day (except for getting to leave a half hour early), but I realized how much comfort my furbabies bring to me. I don't know how I would be able to handle anything if I didn't have them, and they are pretty much what I live for. I am definitely grateful to have them.

Anyhow, I decided to post a cute video of Muffin resting with her front end in her bowl, fat hanging over, as I've mentioned she does in previous posts (ahh, it's SO cute)! And don't mind the mess all around her bowl- she does that by jumping and running all around her cage and I still needed to clean it. I posted a few pics of my cats as well, as they are also adorable. :)

Muffin & Cats!

Muffin has adjusted well to her new environment, however she still hates to be held (though I don't think that's going to change anytime soon). She does some really funny things, such as running around like a lunatic in her cage (she gets in her 'psycho' moods), and I think everyone has enjoyed having her around more than they thought they would.

Even most of the cats have gotten used to having her around. Stray never really tried to get at her, except for being curious and wanting to see what was in the cage on my desk for about the first two days. The "baby" (Stray's daughter), on the other hand, took quite a bit longer till she stopped trying to go for her, though now she will just look at her curiously once and a while. However, Ceddie (or Cedric) still cannot be trusted to be in the room with her, as he still tries to get on the chair to my desk to get to her.
  
Also, as I've mentioned before, Muffin LOVES to eat. Today she was so hungry she even stood up to reach her newly filled food bowl before I could even place it back in her cage, causing the food to spill all over the bottom. Yes, she is a pig (literally, well, sort of).
