Terryfying Thursday

Smidge here reporting on our adventure.....We have been putting a new roof on our house and the guys were here a week ago for several days working.  After the first day of activity, us cats liked watching  from the screen porch.  The guys came back this week to work for one day on a roof project before they add the insulation.  It was early morning and they swooped in with their trucks, ladders and saws, busy doing the carpentry work. Mom noticed none of the cats were visible in the porch except Al who was busy snoopervising from the doorway.


Mom went inside the porch to see what was going on. I could care less and was napping  in the sun. But where were all the other white cats?  She looked all over the porch for them and then smiled.


The chairs are now covered in fleece blankets so we have nice warm spots to snuggle when we sit out on the screen porch in cooler weather.  She lifted up the blanket and sure enough there they were - all 7 cats crammed under the chair and behind it under the blankets, terrified of the workmen and all the noise!



My silly siblings...wonder why they hid this time and not last time?  But Only was still not found....Mom knew he has a special hidy place inside in one of the cupboards.  He is a big fraidy cat and hides at the slightest new thing.





Mom opened the door and there was Only, siting on Pop's golf travel bag in the cupboard. Now all were accounted for!  Have you ever seen such fraidy cats before?

They finally came out as the day wound down and the activity stopped.  They will be up all night for sure and keeping me up with them, making up for lost playtime!

Chica on Wayward Wednesday


Senior cat Chica has been a wayward girl this past week or so. She has been up to her naughty tricks.  A favorite thing to do when she wants attention  is - she gets inside a box and then pummels it with her paws until Mom goes nuts and tells her to stop.


 We have also been having our toilet paper rolls shreaded but no one admitted to the dirty deed. 


Until one day Mom saw a piece of white paper stuck to  Chica's fur...guess what it was?  Guilty as charged! For an older cat, she has been working overtime to get into trouble these days!


Chica has been an avid box fan for her whole life but this takes the cake.  One day this week, Mom came into the kitchen and found Chica sound asleep on the floor with her head inside one of Pop's beer cartons! Crazy huh?





Uh oh....here she comes now...
"Hey Mom whatcha writing about me?  That's not fair, I'm not a trouble maker - I'm just mischievous!  Right guys?" (wink)

Hope you're having a fun and mischievous day too!

Mancat Monday with Snowball


Mom went pink!  After such a great turn out for yellow and Livestrong Day Mom decided to go pink for the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I told her I was mancat enough to go first on Mancat Monday!


I am one plus sized handsome mancat - ladies don't you agree? So...excuse me while I freshen up.  Want to look my best.






Those gorgeous ladycats will be knocking on my door soon, I bet! Are you going pink too?

Livestrong Day - Oct. 2, 2010

 
Posted by Picasa

 We are joining in with many other bloggers today for Livestrong Day sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation to bring awareness of cancer and support to cancer patients and survivors across the globe. Thanks to Ann of Zoolatry, Jan of  The Cat's Meow, Chandra of Life from a Cat's Perspective, Linda from Ozark Mountain Cats and so many others who helped pull this together.



We wish to honor the memories of those who lost their struggle with cancer.  Mom's father died of pancreatic cancer, her mother had breast cancer and skin cancer, sister in law Ann had Hodgkin's and breast cancer and cousin Allison died so young from ovarian cancer.  We even lost cats Clarence and Nick to intestinal cancer and Bunny dog to stomach cancer.



And so many of our dear ones and fellow bloggers have the disease and are giving it their best shot to survive or have already passed that crucial five year marker with no recurrence.

Drawing Winner and Forever Friday

Thanks to all our readers who stopped by for our 300th post celebration and Mamacita and Rosa's Gotcha Day. Using the Random Number Generator we chose a winner - the enchanting Miss Kitty! Congrats to her and her Daddy! They just won a copy of Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper.

Last week we told you about a great organization that rescued and placed feral cats - Alley Cats and Angels in North Carolina. Well, we are featuring a few of their kitties as this week's Forever Friday kitties.



Named after the Disney TV show, Sunny with a Chance, poor little Sunny has suffered a head trauma and is at the vets being cared for. He is OK other than than wound.

Sunny and her siblings, three pretty tabby kittens, were born to a feral mom and were finally relinquished into their care. Sunny has a head trauma with some part of the skull visible. However, other than her head, she appears to be healthier than her siblings. Her siblings are terribly underweight for their age. They named these gorgeous kittens - Sunny, Stormy, Cloudy and Windy!

They were all taken to the vet and given the full spa treatment - cleaning, bath, clipping etc. They are now in a foster home waiting for Sunny to get released from the vet. Please stop by their blog to say hi and pass the word on so that these sweet little ones can have a great forever home. And do follow them like we do - they are such a caring group of folks and do wonderful things for homeless cats.







If you buy your flea products online please read an article Mom  posted on her other blog about counterfeit products. And do stop by to link up with us on Sat. Oct. 2 for Livestrong Day!  Mr Linky is set up to be shared so you can put it on your blog too!  Just grab the code and post it under your Livestrong post and publish.
