Friend Friday

My dear furriend Lady Audrey of Simba's Antics gave me an awardie today! I'm supposed to tell one illuminating fact about myself.  Goodness, you know all of my history.  I will speak of my name which is Kathryn Isabella.  My human brothers voted on my name when I first came into the family.  My middle brother wanted Isabella...as in Queen Isabella because I AM a Queen after all.  (Also  Countess Von Bremerhaven).  But No one made it unanimous as to Isabella so a first and middle name were considered.  They decided Kathryn was alright but I would be called Katie.  My oldest brother did not prefer the Katy spelling for some reason so we made it Katie.  My name was almost going to be Anne.  So, Katie for my oldest brother and Isabella for the middle and youngest.

I'm supposed to nominate five furriends for the award and so: I nominate Ayla at MarksMews.

I also choose Brandi of Catitude.

 And I nominate Penelope of Mewsings of Garden Cottage Cats.

 I also nominate Sister Precious who is a beautiful Tortie sisfur to Brian.

I also nominate Squashies, adorable sisfur to TK at TK-Furrever Home.

And a sixth, Mr Darcy at Purrfect Haven.

I will be looking forward to reading all of your answers,  I added one more for good measure,and here's some huggles and kissies.

Thursday in the tiny garden

We have a very very tiny little garden, but that's all we can have.  Wild critters roam freely here and eat anything you grow if you aren't especially cautious.  So we have our garden in containers.

We checked and right now, we have three green tomatoes and 2 bell peppers.  They are supposed to be red peppers but that isn't going to happen I don't think.

I told Mom not to get so rhapsodic about my fur any more.  But it looked pretty that evening.

Gleaming Wednesday

Furriends, I was lying across mom's lap last evening being groomed lightly.  There was one light on off  to her left as she sat working with me.  I was facing toward her right side covering her entire lap.  She was combing me and petting me..stroke of the comb..stroke of her hand over and over.  As mom almost had her hand to my long sleek back and side furs..she saw a pinkish glow appear  on my furs. She stopped and held her hand just above my waiting warm soft satiny back.  She raised her hand..the glow went away.  She brought her hand back..the glow reappeared.  Kitties, my furs are so gleaming and smooth after a combing and petting that she actually was seeing a reflection albeit a soft one, of her hand--the image of which was being reflected onto my back.  Now that is smooth.  The light was just exactly right...her combing had turned my furs into satin... and her strokes had laid my black furs down all in a tidy mirror-like row.  That was something to see.

Kitties, I hope it is a sunny beautiful day for you.

All About Me.

Oh Kitties, don't furrget why mommy gives me my allowance.  It is for me to save to give to Anycat  who needs it
and for just in case I have an extra big v-e-t bill.  It's not for noms or toys for me.  I have everything I need.  If I am extra goods, I get to have some more to put in my piggy bank.  So far I have been goods.  I have not bomited and horked up anything for a week..until last night and that was a simple plain hairball and not my fuds.  Mom never minds that.  My mom brushes, Furminates and combs me but..hairballs apparently happen despite all I and mom do.  I am still eating hairball formula fuds, by the way.

It was colder'n kraut the past three nights and I had to lay on and up against mom to stay warm.  That mean ol' furnace never came on because it never got to the temp it is set to (68f)  in order to go on.  It was 67f in our bedroom but not in the hallway where the thermostat is.  So I was a cold cold girl.  Mom is mean.

 CK, mom forgot to run my bloggie thru spell check yesterday which would have caught her typos.   No kissies for HER! That was embarrassing.   I'll just bake here in my sunpuddle till I get over it. Till later, kitties and woofies.

PEE ESS:  Mommy forgot to schedule this for tomorrow.  SIGH.  I may have to fire her.

Meowy Monday

Kitties and Woofies, what a beautiful day and another thing besides the sun that made it bright was mommy gave me my 'llowance again.  She made me put it into my piggy back and now I have $4.00 Kitties.  I was a very good girl all week and I didn't hork and bomit all week so far.  All bets are always off as I never know when I might but so far, so good.

It has been cold at night.  It got down to like 52 degrees these two nights and so it got cool in the house as the temp didn't go low enough in here (67 degrees f) to make the furnace kick on.  So I did what any normal kitty would, I piled in onto mom during the night and sucked all her heat up.  I'm in there on my red blankie right now.  This is being typed from a script I left mommy.  My blankie is soft and warm and I have loved it sunce I was given it.  When the house has the hots though, I tend not to sleep on it much but when it's cool..I am glued to it.

Mommy said I could make a post for Thursday in the Garden.  I hope she and I remember. We have a wee wee wee tiny little garden.

Here I am...wish you were here too.

Caturday and a Sleek New Me!

Kitties and Woofies, look at ME!

Oui Oui  made this for me and all of the CB as a tutorial and I just love it!  Mommy does too and is presently using it as her own avatar on Face Book.  Maybe she wants to look more bewteefuls so she's using my pretty face! That will definitely be an improvement.  Kidding, Mom.  Just kidding.  (Heeee)  Oui Oui got my feminine mustache and my half of a white chin on the other side.  Thank you Oui Oui.  Kissies and Paw Hugs.

Furriday and the Mice Are Stirring

Kitties and woofies, my mom despairs of keeping track of my most favorite mousie for me.

This is the very one that I treasure.  It belonged to Robin, who has been gone 16 years, and then to Admiral and now to me.  I love this mousie and this is the very one that I placed at the small of mom's back night before last after Mom had lain on the floor trying to fish it out from under the china cabinet.  It took her awhile to find it again for me and then to fish it out... and I was just so happy to have it back.

 She put it on the floor for me that day, and I placed it in the bed that evening as I said before.  When she got up she threw it onto the floor for me to play with and Kitties,  it disappeared again. Sure enough, with the flashlight held between her toofs again, and her on the floor dislocating her shoulder just about AGAIN (kidding) she finally got it out from under and now, it is on a shelf. She found my corduroy ball as well  and my jingle ball but those  were under the sofa. She later found some hork from the Admiral UTB as she was looking for more of my treasures.  (she knows it was the Admiral's hork..it is that dessicated).

You may ask..why doesn't your mommy stuff something under the china cabinet so this mousie business won't happen?  Well, because anything used to do that would show from across the living room.

Here is a photo of the troublesome and much traveled mousie.  Its tail disappeared years ago and the other side of the mousie is messy. The key is there to show you how small it is.  That is one of those little keys with which you would lock a little "strong box" that holds important papers.
