WOW! Like a Lion Roaring.

 Wellsir, I have no doubt now at ALL (not that I did anyway) that Donkey IS the prime member of Katie's family.  I was asleep.  Sound asleep and I heard the "SOS Emergency! HELP!  Call the Police!" sound of screeching coming from down the hall and then,  into the bedroom.  L-O-U-D.  It came to a  died-down first-halt in the entrance of the bedroom and it was Her Majesty, thought I didn't know it yet, announcing the Important Entry of Donkey, Himself.  

He was laid on the carpet and the roaring went down to a horribly loud level lower than what announced him!  I spoke. I thanked her for the warnings, or the announcement, whatever it was.  Thanked her a goodly four times over her howling.  She got on the bed, walked up my legs and perched on my belly.  I wished she hadn't but knowing I would kill to have it happen on down the line, I just tried to go back to sleep. 

Here is the personage who was properly hailed, and then, announced. 

Lying supine on our bed.

He may be looking for a girl Donkey.  His profile.

Donkey, much loved by his fur Mama.

My main gardenia bush.  First bloom.

We will see if Donkey comes in again!

WOWZERS......that donkey gets quite an announcement of its' entrance doesn't it. It's well loved and reminds us of Angel Sammy's "Mr. Rags"......won't be long before that donkey needs a few "bandages" !!!!

Hugs, Pam and Teddy

Katie, you really know how to announce donkey don't you. Well it looks to me like he deserves to be announced proud and loud. Of course your mommy might have liked a little bit more sleep.

John Bellen said...

Haha! Katie is like my Moxy when he yowls - they take no notice of our having heard them the first time. It shows that Katie is in good form.

Good work, Sweetheart! Donkey is fortunate to have you making announcements! Oh what my mom would give to smell that gardenia! It’s her favorite fragrance in the world. A friend gave her cuttings from their bush last year & the plants look good, but no blooms this year! 🙀 Kat, Your Loverboy ❤️

Playing with Donkey sure causes a ruckus!

Much-loved Donkey, indeed!

The J-Cats said...

Looks like Katie really really loves Donkey. And she is willing to share him with her Mommy. That is a Great Honour, Ms. Carole!

Donkey is fortunate to have such a good mommy cat who loves him bunches. Cooper Murphy often brings "presents" in the night and also announces them with much pomp and fanfare. He learned this behavior from Mau and only began using it after Mau went to the RB. Hope Katie allowed you to go back to sleep.
