2008 Kitty Cat and Puppy Dog(9/18/08)

|
The kitty cat pictured here has the name of "Fido". The puppy dog has the name of "Chou Chou" (pronounced "Shoo Shoo") which is French for "cutie pie". They belong to my friend Katherine who doesn't have her own web page so I put this one up. Fido is a Singapura cat. The Singapura is a distant cousin to the Burmese. Chou Chou is a Papillon dog. The Papillon is the one of the oldest of the toy Spaniel breeds. Click on any picture for a much larger version.
Below is Fido sitting on his shelf on the wall. The shelf and the thing in the corner is a "Kitty Condo" built by http://www.catsplay.com/ which makes these solid and nice looking kitty wall climbing furniture. Notice there are no visible brackets!
Here is a zoomed out picture showing more of the cat furniture bolted to the wall. Fido (the kitty) is happily sitting in one of the half-pipes.
Here is the kitty playing on more wall furniture after we installed it on 9/30/08. The "wall-o-kitty-furniture" is pretty much done now.
Fido the kitty walking up his wall the other direction. Picture taken much later around 5/31/2010.
Fido playing with a stuffed toy named "Spot". Picture taken around June, 2008.
Below is Fido playing with spot later once full grown (picture below taken about 9/30/08). Same stuffed animal, same kitty, just different kitty size. :-)

Introducing the puppy Chou Chou, the Fido cat's new brother. He was born on August 9th, 2008. Here he is the first day home at Katherine's apartment on 10/4/08. Chou Chou asleep in his puppy bed:

Below is a picture that internally was dated 9/9/2008 so it was taken by the breeder very early in Chou Chou's life.

Chou Chou crashed out on the couch with his eyes almost shut.

Below is a 50 second YouTube video of the Kitty and Puppy playing with a puff ball suspended from a string. If you are on a Mac, click here for a high quality QuickTime Version.

Fido's ear swelled up one day like a balloon, and the vet had to put in a tube to keep it drained and he had to wear a cone for two weeks. Here he is on 9/20/09 after wearing the cone for 4 days. He's laying on the couch, and his ear is looking a lot better.
Fido just randomly chose to sit on the head of the wooden bear in the sunshine. Notice he is wearing his cone.
Below is a 75 second YouTube video of Chou Chou the dog licking the kitty's ears and face. If you are on a Mac, click here for a high quality QuickTime Version. The cat was wearing a cone because he had ear surgery, and his brother (the Papillion dog) was very gentle with him and helps clean him while he was recovering.
On 9/23/09 Chou Chou and some of his friends had a slumber party. From left to right that is Riley (Daschund/Chihuahua mix), Chou Chou (Papillon), in back is Mr. T (Yorkie) and on the far right front is Tuesday (Brussels Griffon).
