Rainbow Bridge

So many of our furriends have gone to the Rainbow Bridge.  Far too many and now our dearest Fin has traveled there.  She was among the first of kitties we knew when we started blogging back when Admiral was here.  We are so sorry to learn this sadness this morning.

I have Finny's picture in the sidebar right now and I will remind efurrybuddy that I have a Rainbow page where I keep memories of my furriends who have gone on before me.  Please feel free to visit them.  Some of my Twitter furriends have gone on as well.  It's a very sad week.  But I am grateful to be here and to have all of you as my dear furriends in the here and now.❤

Tuxie Tuesday (and Tortie Tuesday for all the Torties out there)

Cinco de Mayo

If for no other reason, mom is celebrating Cinco de Mayo because she finally got a clue.  Yes Kitties and Woofies..she hauled me off to the v-e-t for a manicure and pedicure!  I had been scratching the carpet, the bed, anything I got my claws on.  Mom had the hammer come down and bonk her on the head and realized it had been a long time since my nails were cut.  I won't let her do it so she took me in.  I have not offered to claw anything since.  Mom's clue:  "Let them grow too long and when they stick as I walk..I am reminded to claw!

While I was there, one of the two hospital cats that live there got into my carrier.  Cliff is a beautiful Maine Coon. He filled my carrier up.  He was enjoying being there. BUT *I* was a hissing virago when I saw him in it as I was there to be deposited myself.  Cliff was not impressed with my display and had to be picked up and put on the floor.  My hissing knew no end when I was put in!  Cliff smells!  Mom took the fleecy "floor" out when we got home to wash away the Cliff smells.

That night when we went to bed, I was my usual sphinx on her chest but then, I elbowed my way upward and laid my head down on her mouth..my cheek was across her lips.  She got to kiss my cheek for a long time. She also got  her face tickled by my furs and whiskers for an equally long time.  She was hot and itchy but hey..worth it, right mom?  Heee heee.

My Girl.  She IS sunshine on a cloudy Day.  She is  warm and sweet as the month of May.  She's my girl.  pee ess: The kitty looking in is the stained glass rendition I had made of her.

Introoder Alert! Introoder Alert!

Kitties!  It was awful.  There was an introoder on MY territory yesterday morning.  I was on patrol as of course I should be and all my vigilance paid off.  There he or she was..brazen as daylight creeping over the morning horizon!  Bold as a shout in the dark!  A long haired black with green eyes introoder.  You can see him next door by the fence lying there drooling over my Bird TV, the bounder!

I called mommy but in a soft tiny voice.  She could tell by my tone however that something was amiss.

When she  got into the room where I was she saw me scrubbing furiously on the window pane trying to get out to box that introoders ears! I was telling mom all about it continuously for minutes.  I was telling her blow by blow- if only I could get out there to do my duty.

Mom could only get a picture through the window and screen but I told her that was fine.  The picture would do as evidence in the Sheriff Harley Poleece Line-Up once I reported this indignity and affront to me and my property,  that was sure to take place later.

Always on guard.  That's me.  Nothing gets past me (except multiple hairballs).

Wishful Wednesday

I wish I may---I wish I might---always have--- sunpuddles and light.

Tuesday Tuxie

Happy May Day Kitties and Woofies. Here is a flower for you.

Kitties..mom and I can't seem to win.  We changed to the hairball formula but when mom noticed that I was only eating maybe half of my breakfast and supper, she knew what was coming.  Yup.  I have horked up three or so hairballs a day for three day.  Magic number 3 I guess.  She was gone all day yesterday and had some well formed sausage sized hairballs waiting when she got home.  She told me she wasn't surprised due to my not eating much yesterday morning.  Showed her my tummy was upset. She said she's getting a Furminator very soon now.

By the way, to reiterate, we have carpeting all over the house except the kitchen and bathroom.  So mom can't really place things where I scratch because I scratch any and everywhere I please.  I thought I'd mention again that I have 4 scratch pads, two scratching posts, (one carpeted post and one rope post) plus a hanging scratch pad off the  door knob.  I don't like the rope post at all, just the carpet one. I use my Ess for scratching too and my scratch mat, my boxes and my large donut shaped rolly ball thingy with the scratch pad center. Nothing works to keep me from clawing the carpet as well unless mom sees me and sprays me.
Naughty is my name..clawing is my game.

Mom and I hear the Meow Mix song in there in the living room.  "Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow..."  Mom will he singing that under her breath all day.  Heeee.  MOL

Oh and I sort of punished mom for being gone yesterday.  I just laid forlornly on the carpet near her and
refused to get on her lap.  Showed HER! I kept that up till we went to bed. Go off and leave ME, will you!
