Alley Cats and Angels of NC: Sometimes you HAVE to
Alley Cats and Angels of NC: Sometimes you HAVE to: Sometimes intake closed means when an emergency arises, you find a place to put a couple little kittens because the consequences of not doi...
New Tactic and...An Award!
Kitties, I have finally adopted what many of you do, to roust up my mom on any given morning.
I am getting her up at 0630 as I always did now that I have adjusted to the time change (Fall Back). However I can tell she does not wish to get up when I want her to. This morning I went through my indexed book of "Cat Tactics for getting Them Out of Bed" and I happened on chapter 8. I have no idea how I kept missing that chapter and the valuable information it contains.
I followed it exactly Kitties, and it worked. I despaired of it working however. I had crept up the bed softly and put my face up against hers as always. However, chapter 8 states "Lick their eyelids" so I did. Amazingly, that did not bring a response. (Mom here: Oh yes it did! I was trying with all my might not to react to the eyelid thing, but it was awful) So, following outlined procedure I laid down with my back facing her, backing right up against her chest and chin as close as I could make it. She later mentioned she felt my heart beating for the first time ever. That's how tightly up against her I was. My Tuxie body was warm and the purring was my extra touch to charm her. Adding my heartbeat was genius. Thank you chapter 8!
Well, she continued to be asleep (Mom here: I desperately wished for sleep) so I went to chapter 9. It instructed that one walk carefully and politely around the human's head and settle against the human on the other side..purring loudly and being sweet as sugar. Voila! Her arm came out of the covers and over to me to enfold me. Ahhhh....TOUCHDOWN! Breakfast within minutes! Mission Accomplished. The End.
Kitties, Nerissa, of Nerissa'slife gave me an award. The MOUSES! Award. See?
Mouses! I never expected THAT! But I am honored to have it and I thank Nissy for it. Here's a Tuxie smooch too, Nissy! One must use the word Mouses! in their bloggie and of course thank the kitty who gave it to them. In my case it was Nissy who is celebrating his second Blogaversary! Go congratulate him on this achievement. I will pass it to Niko and Goro San on Gorogoronikonniko site.

Bed Hog Extraordinaire
I admit it. I am a bed hog. Of the first water. There are kitties who equal me in expertise, but none better than I am I would warrant. I can spread out from one side to the other and all the way to the top and bottom. Mom has the edge to rest on.
Another feature I have is: I troll the bed at the veriest first light of day checking to see if Mom is conscious. I wait quietly by her face if it is still dark, testing the waters so to speak. I lean in close to see if her eyes are closed and if her breathing indicates sleep or (pump paw in the air) just pretending to sleep.
I feel I got her attention (she did) when I horked on the carpet and when I scratched the same carpet a moment before. Those sounds wake moms up from a sound sleep. Rather like their baby humans once upon a time when they were stirring in a room away...moms can hear everything.
Mom is going to work out this morning so she may as well get in there and make the bed, dress and assemble her face, pretty much in that order.

Ginger Jasper by Katie's mom
Today we learned that Ginger Jasper, whom we all loved so much, flew away from us to the Bridge.
When I saw that email from Ann, tears immediately formed in my eyes and I went to the link even though I wished it were not so, it was.
I loved that precious boy. I will miss him terribly as will the rest of us.
Carol and Barrie, I send my condolences and my love to you both. As many have already said, Jasper knew how much you loved him and he loved you, his mum and dad as well. Very deeply.
Good bye for awhile dearest GJ. We will all meet again in the by and by. And while I wait, Katie and I will watch for your brilliant Star tonight.
Good night darling GJ. All our love.

Meowy Monday a Bit Early
Kitties, another dear girl cat left her family and flew to the Rainbow Bridge. Her name is Midnight and I have put her sweet likeness from Ann, on my sidebar. Too too many of our kittie and woofie family are flown away, and it makes us sad.
Mom was busy yesterday for certain, she was a good part of the day today and will have a lot of time to play more with me tomorrow. I was exercising my claws on the carpet..arms stretched out while under the coffee table but I only got two each (claws) digs in when mom's really scary eyes looked at me and I stopped without her saying a word!
I have been on patrol like I really mean it after the Siamese looking cat was walking about under my nose right outside my windows in MY YARD! I had a hissy fit, yes, and I was upset. Mom sprayed the Nutri- Vet and walked away. I was still extremely agitated but mom went outside and chased the cat away. Twice. But I have been keeping vigil for 24 hours now. After hissing at mom, I walked toward her and she moved slightly away from me but my eyes were normal and I was walking normally. I stretched my neck out and headbonked her chesticle. Four times. I was apologizing for hissing at her when she came up on my having fits over the stranger cat. Over all, I did better with Siamese and even slightly better still with long haired black kitty. But make no mistake I hates 'em boaf.
Look at me a few hours ago all flattened out on the little desk in the kitchen (mom said pay no mind to that fire hazard in the plastic file where she has like a YEARS worth of stuff jammed into it!!!) as I was enjoying the heated air coming up from the hot air vent. Cell phone pic again. She says that's the only way she can catch me any more.

Caturday
Good Meowning!
I have to listen to Mom holler and rant for TWO, count 'em, TWO football games. One is my favorite brothers university, MTSU at 1300 and the other is for the VOLS this evening at 1900 where the hope is they can vanquish Missou. Remember, the VOLS are rebuilding and have made visible progress this season. However it will take another two years for them to be where they need to be and mom scare the fur off me screeching when they win.
It was cold in here last night. Down to 66 in the bedroom and I crept up against mom. She was slightly awake when I gingerly put one foot in front of the other testing the billowy sheet and blanket before stepping down and then, that moment when my warm Katie body settled against her tummy.
I have been starting our evening off by laying my cheek against hers when we first settle in bed. That is precious to her, I know. I close my eyes and drift off. BUT that keeps her from turning out the light and turning over. So she and I have compromised. I get to lay my face on hers for 15 or 20 minutes, then she turns out the light. We lay there a few minutes more and then, I jump down for awhile.
Mom is adding grain free dry foods into my regular sensitive stomach dry and I don't like it. She is still trying. They had little variety in wet foods in the form I like..minced or chopped. I am not a pate kitty! The companies seem to make pate more than anything and strange flavors. What's up with THAT!?
Gotta help Mom make the bed before brovver gets up from his. He is visiting till afar the game from arriving after work yesterday for a chicken supper!
