Girlcats on Monday

Kitties!  I hope all of you kitties and woofies had a wonderful smooch filled day with your pawrents.  Because even though we are furbabies, our human pawrents are that, pawrents.  We get the care and love and attention that any family member deserves.  And we are loved as tenderly as we love our pawrents.  Case closed when I say I hope your Mother's day was grand. <3<3

I squashed up against mom's knee..the inside part at the back of her leg for sleepies night before last and down on her feets last night.  I even let her turn over!  Some of you said I was too harsh thumping to the floor three nights ago leaving her without me...and I considered that and agreed.  So I decided to lay up against her the next two nights.  It's been coldish in here at about 67 degrees in the bedroom at night.  The heat doesn't come on until it's 69 degrees, so I needed her heat.  (She needed mine).

Mommy went out with the youngest human brother for lunch on Mother's Day.  He came back here to the house and they had a good deal of the afternoon together.  She asked him to please move the spare bed (MY bed!!) in the back bedroom so she could get the Admiral's furs out from under as the bed was too ungainly for her to move.  Admiral spent a good deal of her last 12 months living here UTB, as she was sick.  Her didn't feel well so that's where she went to rest.

Kitties, there was enough fur to make another kitty!  Mommy used her two hands with Platex kitchen gloves on to scrape up the furs from the carpet before vacuuming.  That saves a huge clog in the vacuum and mommy felt the silkiness of Admiral's curly Tortie furs again as she gathered them up.

These are from her tummy area, her undercarriage furs and they sure don't look like her glossy multicolored furs, no, but they are hers, mixed with several years worth of mess that was also down there.  You see specks of paper mixed in.  Mommy's baby girl.

Caturday Kitty

Happy Caturday Kitties!

It's warmer now so I generally sleep at the foot of the bed rather than up against mom as I do when it's cold. (it's not affection as much as I am trying to benefit by her body heat!)

So, having said that I will move to this:  It was the deep dark night night time and I know she felt me walking up to her waist area.  I know because her breathing changed (Mom Here:  I was about to turn over as I do about 4 times per night due to some pain issues- so I was indeed awake).

Here I am, earnestly pleading my case. Would this face lie?

Meanwhile I arrived at the desired location and leaned against her with my sweet warm and softly furred self to take a leisurely bath.  I felt in my bones that mom smiled.  (Mom Here: I did.  But I was having a very real need to TURN OVER and relieve the pain)

Meanwhile, hoping to continue my complaint without her interrupting again...I finished my bath and settled deeply into her waistline to sleep the night away. Mom?  Take it away...I know you want to!!

Mom here:  I had to turn over.  I wanted her to stay where she was but I had to turn over...there was no help for it so, I started over, very slowly I might add, to lie on my back. But NO!  Up she got and ker-thump! onto the floor not to be seen the rest of the night!  Sheesh!

Me again, Katie.  I had to smile though because she laid on the edge of the bed the rest of the night (occasionally turning like she was on a rotisserie as usual!) in the vain hope of my return.  NO way! See you at breakfast mom!

Fankful Fursday

Kitties! I am fankful every day for my home.  I know all of you are as well.  The love our pawrents shower us with is something to be fankful for every day.  Of course, we loves them right back and just as much.  Here I am, finking of momma and wondering where she was all that time before she finally got there to the v-e-t's office to choose me. How do you like the length of my whiskers?

I waited a long time for mommy to choose me. 

Hanging out wondering when mom will play with me.

Mom found some wild columbines and here is one just for you kitties.

 I think I will take a nap and get ready to play laters.  Hop in your tunnel and come on over.  I need the company and I have a LOT of toys for us to play with.  AND mommy has a heavy hand with treats.  NOM!

The BAG! and a pee ess

Kitties!  I want to show you how mighty and magical I am! Yesterday while mom was on the talky thing with Mariodacat I decided to show what a mighty warrior girl I am.  Mario will attest to this on accounta he heard every bit of it!

See my favorite shopping bag?  Well, look at the hole I punched in the bottom of it with my mighty paws!  And that's not all Kitties.  Knowing full well that mommy has no video capacity, not only did I punch through the bag---I also inserted just my head in the bottom of the bag where the hole is and I ran with my head in the bag alllll the way across the room!  Mom was beside herself beholding my mighty prowess.  Then, I took my head out and turned around to slip my whole self inside the bag!  I put one arm out of that self same hole and grabbed my fishy (with the feathery tail) and dragged it into the bag with me.  Then I commenced to wrassling with it.

Here I am after fibbing to mommy this morning saying I was going to reenact the whole scenario for her and you.  But I jested!  I only inspected the hole and stood by my bag just as the trophy it is.

I know, I have this "who cares?" look on my face but really I am just being modest.  After all...running at low crawl across the room with your head in a hole in the bottom of a bag is a superb accomplishment.  I don't want to brag or anything, ya know?  Oh, and my donkey and lion and nanner and kickaroo there are witnesses to this moment in history!

Pee Ess: please visit my Rainbow page for the babies who have flown away to the Bridge in the past month.  Mommy helps me put them there after they have been on the sidebar for awhile.  

Farewell Penelope

Mom here:

Precious and beautiful as a fairy. That is how I always thought of Penelope.  She was the most beautiful white long haired darling I had ever seen.  I just fell in love with her when Admiral and I first met her and her beautiful fursibs and her mommy and daddy.

Penelope was one of the loved cats who lived in The Garden Cottage Cats.  She took sick very suddenly just a few days ago and her prognosis was grave.

If you can, please go by to leave a word for her mommy and daddy who are grieving and missing her so much.  Penelope's sisfurs and brofurs are also upset and miss Penelope.

I hope her mommy won't mind if I take her picture and post it here for you.

Rest in peace beautiful  girl and we will be looking for your star too, every single night.  Love to your pawrents and fursiblings.

A Note From Ossie's Mom on Caturday

Kitties!  For some reason Ossie's mommy can't make a comment on my blog where I spoke about him.

Mom got an email from her last evening and so she will cut and paste to preserve the integrity of her message and put it here for you.  She loved reading the sweet comments about Ossie and she wanted all of you kitties to know that.  Here it is:

.
**                         **                 **                    **                 **                 **
I'm Ossie's Mom and my boy is usually shy hiding from from visitors. I was so surprised by him coming out for Katie's Mom!
He certainly loved on her with numerous head buts and leg rubs.
Thank you for all the nice comments about Ossie. He truly is special to me and has been the love of my life.



Good Caturday Kitties and Woofies.  Brother came here to stay the night.  Mommy just got her new HAM radio.  She is not yet licensed to operate it but she will be before long.  There is quite a test to take first.  She's still studying while *I* help. Brother is already a HAM so he is looking it all over to make sure it is in good working condition.  It's new but may as well make sure. 

I have been trying to keep up with all the kitties who come and see me.  I throw in extra kitties from the Dashboard who have blogged, when there is time.  It's nice to have mom to help out.  

Mom is going to look for coconut oil sometime this weekend and see if it helps when my dander is more than I wish I had.  I am a fastidious girl after all!

Fe Fi Fo Fum, I Smell Boycat on Mom.

Kitties, when mom came home late Sunday I greeted her indeed but...I smelled boy cat. She reeked of boy cat.  I waited till the next day so as not to spoil our homecoming celebration but I quizzed her the next morning about who was that boycat!  I know there is a boycat I told her! I spent the night looking into the closets, behind doors and under things to make sure she didn't bring him with her.  So far I haven't found him and I admit I can't detect him any more right now but, you never know.

She explained that while she was visiting over the mountains, she went with her son who lives there, to visit his lady friend.  She has a boy cat named Ossie Cat.  A furry handsome young mancat she tells me!

 Like I need to hear another cats' praises!  From MY mom, nevertheless!  She hauled out some pictures of him and I have to say, he IS a glorious cat and he certainly has great taste...he loved on MY mommy even though I do NOT approve.  She cheated on me and came back smelling of him!  Here he is atop the fridge in his home ruling his mom.

He has a white tip on his tail and he certainly uses that charming appendage to his advantage.  He beguiled my mommy with it.  She thought it was sooo cute.

That white star like a starfish on his chest is also a beacon to my mommy!  She thinks he is SO adorable with that purrfect five point star there under his handsome face.  Ossie cat used that to his advantage and wormed his way into her heart even more.  The little furred bounder! You can see the star even better while he is on the fridge in the first picture and below in his tree.  Don't worry, he is always supervised while near the stove.

So that's what MY MOM was doing while she was gone.  Cheating on me.   Just sayin'. And all *I* got was a new water dish with strange cat designs!  I told her NO thanks..furgeddaboutit! Put it where I can't see it.

Sheesh!  Moms.
