We Have Kittens! 😻 Meet Miko and Milo! 🍁 Happy Thanksgiving!

We Have Kittens! 😻 Meet Miko and Milo! 🍁 Happy Thanksgiving! Miko and Milo were found all alone by my dad’s workshop in my parent’s backyard in early October. So I went to their house and caught them. They were about 5-6 weeks old at that time. My daughter, Angel & I have been taking care of them and we are keeping them. 

They were a little sickly when we first caught them, icky eyes, upper respiratory infection, worms, a little underweight too. They were on eye meds, antibiotics, gas drops, dewormer and nutracal for a little while and are much healthier now. They are so adorable and loving! They purr so loud and play so hard! We will be introducing them to the other cats soon. They all know there are kittens in Angel’s room. We have let them see each other through the open door. I will be posting a lot more pictures and some videos all over soon! Miko (pronounced Mee koh) My daughter Angel named them & they are her babies and I am their Nina! 🥰

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving today with your family and friends! ❤️

💜 Kazu has Diabetes 😿

Kazu has been diagnosed with Diabetes & has started treatment. He had just had bloodwork and urinalysis done the middle of December, because I felt like he was off then. Not his normal, active playing self like Romeo & Quincy. All of that bloodwork and urinalysis came back completely normal. His blood glucose was right in the middle of the range 127. The range is 72-175. So since she couldn’t find anything wrong with him, we just had to wait till he developed any more symptoms. February 16 Kazu started being treated for a UTI. I also noticed he was drinking more water. About 3 days into his UTI treatment I still didn’t think he was right so I took him for more bloodwork and another urinalysis. Thursday 22nd morning my vet called called and said Kazu has diabetes my heart sank. His blood glucose was almost 400. She wanted me to bring him in to learn how to give injections and go get him a prescription for insulin to start asap. Kazu started out getting 1 unit of insulin every 12 hours. It is the tiniest little amount of insulin not even a fourth of an inch. We are also adjusting his diet and probably everyone else’s diet to make things easier and possibly help prevent Kazu’s other two brothers from getting diabetes as well I hope since this seems to be genetic. There is a possibility that Kazu could go into remission since we caught this very early so I am hopefully. Kazu’s went to the vet yesterday morning 2/28 for 9am to have glucose curve monitoring. His numbers still stayed in the low 400s for his first 2 checks then high 300s for the second 2 checks. Kazu was on 1 unit of insulin every 12 hours, now I gave him 1.5 units last night and then starting this morning he now gets 2 units of insulin every 12 hours.  He has been really good about the shots. We just distract him with some of the lickable tube treat and he doesn’t even know he’s getting an injection. Kazu goes back for his next glucose curve monitoring in two weeks unless something change. I have been reading and researching a lot online about cat diabetes. I want to be fully educated and able to care for him the best I can. Kazu does act like he feels a bit better so I will keep you posted on how he’s doing! I can’t believe that he also has diabetes just like what happened to Forrest. At least this time I knew what to watch for. It still kills me that I didn’t know what was happening to Forrest until it was too late. I will always feel like I failed Forrest because I didn’t know what was happening. Please send me all the good vibes and well wishes you can for Kazu. This has been a lot to deal with for all of us and especially Kazu. Xoxo! Carrie

Pensacon ❤️ Thank you!

Pensacon was this past weekend. It was a good show! I saw a lot of familiar faces and met a lot of new people too. Thank you so much to all of you that were able to come out to see me. I really appreciate your support. Everyone really loved my new painting too so that was nice. I’m sorry I haven’t posted about my new painting and also Pensacon anywhere other than my Patreon yet because things have been kind of crazy the past couple weeks. I’ll be making another post about this very soon. Everything with the show went smoothly with actual load in and set up. Everyday of the show day was good too. This loadout was our fastest time ever so that was great too. I am very glad to have my only show of the year out-of-the-way! Now I am free to work on things. I need to get done here at the house, new art, updating my website and lots of other things I’ve had on the back burner for the past two years.

Xoxo!

Do you have any unusual New Years habits or traditions? Any plans for this year? I'd love to hear about them :)

Follow Carrie's Artwork & Tigerpixie Fantasy Cat Art on,

What's New At Tigerpixie Fantasy Cat Art First, I would like to give a big Welcome to all of my new subscribers :) Thank you so much for your support! I have been very busy behind the scenes adding new things to my website and working on some other projects for my art and also a few things involving my cat Anakin. Today I have to share with you my New Enamel Pins (seen in my update) are now available! I also have the Original Linework Drawings for each pin available as a special set with one of the pins. Even better, I'm having a 20% Off Sale for My Birthday Week & Everything* even the new pins and originals are on sale! Last and certainly not least I want to introduce our new kitty Arya! She had a very rough start in life but is now doing great and making herself right at home with us :) My first 3 Enamel Pins are now available! "Day of the Dead Cat", "Maneki Neko Luck" and "Halloween Black Kitty"! I had ordered 50 of each design to start with and they did really well at DragonCon! I only have a little over 30 of each design to list on my website, Etsy etc. So if you really want them I wouldn't wait. If DragonCon is any indication they will go fast and once gone it will be a little while before I am able to get them back in stock. They are priced at $15.00 each BUT with my 20% Off Sale this week they are only $12.00 each! See them all here, https://tigerpixie.com/shop-cat-art/cat-enamel-pins My Tigerpixie Collectible Pins are soft enamel and metal pins. I personally redesigned my original artworks and chose the enamel colors to be perfect for each pin. The pin sizes may vary and will be listed in the description of each individual pin. The pins have two secure "locking" backs to keep them from getting lost and keep them straight and in place. All of my pins are stamped on the back with the copyright symbol and my name, ©Carrie Hawks, Tigerpixie. The Pins will come packaged on a backing board in a clear resealable sleeve and are mailed bubble wrapped in an envelope for protection. Where to wear your Tigerpixie Pin Flair? On a Lanyard, Hat or Scarf... On your Lapel or Shirt Collar... On your Purse, Bag or Backpack... In the Extra Holes of your Belt... On a Jacket or Scarf... Decorate your own personal Collectible Pin Board... That's just a few ideas. There are so many more! :) About These First 3 Pins... Of course, I had to make my "Day of the Dead Cat" first! :) My "Halloween Black Kitty" looks like he was born to be a pin! This little guy came out so cute! Purrfect for Halloween too! I thought my first "Maneki Neko - Luck" would make such a cute pin! Also who doesn't want to take a little extra Luck with them everywhere they go. Original Linework Drawing and Enamel Pin Sets There is only 1 Original Linework Drawing and Pin Set of each pin image available. These are my original 8" x 10" pen and colored pencil line work drawing I created for my custom pin designs. This set includes the drawing on Bristol paper and one of the pins created from the artwork. They are truly One Of A Kind since this image was only used to create the pins and I am not selling prints of them.  They are priced at $125.00 per set BUT with my 20% Off Sale this week they are only $100.00 each!  See them all here, https://tigerpixie.com/shop-cat-art/cat-enamel-pins  My Birthday Sale! 20% Off at Tigerpixie.com  Now through October 9, 2017 I thought it would be nice to have a sale for my birthday this year!
