Remember Mom?

Today four years ago, Admiral left for the Bridge and things were terrible here at the house until I got here to help.  I am grateful for my mom and she is grateful for me.

Donkey turned up missing again Kitties!  But after a day, mom remembered she had slipped him into her purse to keep a four year old sticky person from playing with him.  Donkey couldn't take that as he is still in rehab from the back surgery mom performed on him.  So he came out among the rest of our buddies there in the basket on the floor again.  He (and I, as I had to do without him)  punished mom by his not coming into the bedroom last night.

Christmas is coming kitties!  Get ready for some new toys!

Where ARE You?????

Kitties, it was awful.

Donkey disappeared for all night and most of the day.  We looked the house over for him.  It would have been horrible if he had gone and certainly if he had not warned us. that something was amiss.  He hadn't even left a NOTE Kitties!

We were getting VERY concerned as to 1.  His safety (had he been kidnapped??) and 2.  Had he gone away from us over something we could have remedied easily had we known?

We wrung our hands and paws and searched and searched the same places over again.

Then,  Mom happened to see a glimpse of black mane and a bit of gray body.  It was DONKEY!  OH fank the codfish!  It was Donkey and he was alright.  He had not gone off and left us nor was he kidnapped and he was uninjured as far as we know.  He was jammed back behind a base speaker between it and the wall.  It was dark behind there.  He had to have been frightened.

Tonight I will make it up to him and have him up in there in bed with us.  He must have made a wrong turn at Albuquerque on his own way in.

Good night Moosey, Romeo and Georgie.  I will see you again by and by.  Wait for us.  Oh!  Your stars are brilliant, little loves.

My Day!

This is my day, Kitties!  Good Grief!

Ooooh Kitties!

Kitties!  I am waiting for mommy's tail to de-puff and for her furs on her head to smooth out again as she got really p-i-scribble scribbled at someone where she worked out this meowning.  They were rude to her and Mom did not take the high road!  I will talk to her about that!

 But while I wait, I will stay up here in the crow's nest of my tree.  I only started going up there again after practically a years absence!  I am tracking introoders from post to post and  the crow's nest covers the largest area  in cat  visibility of the back of our property.

Kitties, I had to speak sternly to her yesterday about where my piggybank is and why I am not getting my allowance?!  She used it with my OK to contribute to kitties who needed it from time to time.  But then, when she used it all for some kitty, it disappeared!  I beg your pardon, Mom?  Really?  Go find it!  I want my dollar!  I get a dollar a week Kitties IF I have been good.

Meanwhile Favorite Brother is still here.  Got here noon yesterday and leaving about then today.  I enjoyed his company and even helped to put him to sleep by roosting on his chest after he went to bed.  I'll have you know I left mom to do that!  So he's special!  Other Favorite Brother will be here on the 21st.  Can't wait.

Easy on Sunday

Kitties,  I'm taking the day off.  I work too hard.

Rest in Peace Ossie Cat.

Kitties, do you remember a few weeks back I asked if anyone's mom or dad knew anything about Ossie's medical condition?  Mom had posted his report from the vet for all of you as well.  His mom tried so hard every way she knew to save his dear life, but several days ago he flew away after letting his mommy know he was ready to leave.  And his mommy is bereft.  My mommy knows that feeling.  All of our parents go through this when one of us runs away to the Bridge.  We are fur children and cherished as family members.

Ossie and she were close companions and each loved the other as much as they possibly could.  Ossie was deeply loved and cared for as the precious innocent he was, entrusted to  the care of his mommy.  Ossie loved his mommy just as much as she loved him.

Theirs was a "meant -to -be" story.  His mommy saw him in a pet food store up for adoption and it was truly love at first sight.  The star on his chest showing his singularity sealed the deal.  He came home to begin the life of a cherished companion.

Here are his mommy's words to me about Ossie's last day.  I know that most reading these loving anguished words can feel with her the sense of loss and sad emptiness in the home now.

 The mass in his body was too much for him and he was shutting down (kidney failure). We spent a quiet day with me gently loving on him and he gave me a look that was OK mommy, this is it. I stroked his tiny cute ears, rubbed his chin like he likes, kissed his head, massaged his paws the whole time telling him how much I love him. 

Yes Momma, he is waiting.  And my momma sends you every bit of her compassion and support to get you through

I love you Mom. 

Ossie, Beloved Companion to His Mom Evy

Whew!

Yupper, I had a great poopy!  Yesterday too.  Mom said she will check today but at least it was the upset of my routine.  Fanks you for the suggestions and good thoughts and purrs.  They ALWAYS help each of us when our pawrents ask for them, don't they?

Mom has to gather ALL of my toys and all of my scratch pads up out of the living room as Sticky person and his mommy are coming over.  He crawls now!  I wonder what I will do?  Stay tuned!  (not to worry, neither mom nor the baby's mom will let anything happen to me.   Promise).  But my toys are going UP and HIS are coming down onto the floor.

  He had my chicken leg and  my ice-cream cone (mom does have a picture of it) munching on BOTH of them last time he was here!)

Meanwhile, I must prepare and make mom play with me before he gets here.  I may be in my chambers UTB later, so I'd better  get while I can.
