Thankful Thursday ~ Mommy's Home!

Leo Here: Mommy's home! And boy are we thankful! She was gone for elebenty hundred days! But she's home now!

Cashmere: So's daddy!

Leo: Yeah well, it's the mommy I'm more worried about. She's my best pillow!

Cashmere: Daddy's MY best pillow!

Leo: Well, you keep him held down and I'll keep Mommy held down. Glitter can float between both (but really, not to my mommy, not when I'm sitting on her.. no one takes my mommy time!) and we'll keep them from ever trying to go away again!

Glitter: We all need to work together to take care of them!

Leo: Holding her down IS taking care of her! If I can just shut up the shouts of 'my drains! my stitches! my bruises!' I mean, sheesh, she keeps disturbing me with that caterwauling! If she didn't want me to lay on her stupid ol' drains she shouldn't be covering them up with the big soft pink blankey! Am I right? You know I am.

Cashmere: Daddy doesn't have any of those problems. So I got the better one to take care of!

Glitter: That's because he's not the one who had surgery, silly, mommy is. Daddy just had to do the waiting thing. Sounds boring..

Leo: hey, I'm not done talking here! Now where was I... Oh yeah, the mommy whining. It's a good thing they sent her back to us with them bottles of pills that make her sleep a lot, she's quiet then!

Glitter: Pain pills you mean, they don't make her sleep, she just sleeps when the pain goes down.

Leo: *mutters* know it all sisters.. Anyway! I like the makes her sleep pills, and she's not nearly so hard to medicate as a certain sister who shall remain nameless (but I'd be even worse if it were me) coughCashmerecough! And I try my hardest to distract the daddy man from doing anything that makes her whine by walking back and forth over her, keeping him from touching her. It's not easy being so cute they can't yell at you! And if somesister would do her job of keeping daddy pinned down better..

Cashmere: Hey!

Leo: Then I wouldn't have to work so hard at my job! Maybe you both need to work on daddy and I'll take care of mommy all by myself.. yeah, that sounds about right! Ok, it's settled! I think we have this covered now!  And thank you, friends, for all your comments and purrs and prayers! I know mommy appreciates them all! Time for naps now, we'll try to let mommy comment and visit when she's feeling better, ok?

Glitter and Cashmere: Bro, we need to talk.. with our paws..

Leo: Sorry, already called nap time! ZZZZZZzzzZZZZ

MeARRRRRow, It's Pirate Day!

It's late (ok early AM), I had MORE pre-op testing today (3 hour drive each way), I'm exhausted, not sleeping because of nerves anyway, totally missed our 30th Wedding anniversary (because of the regular pre-op testing last week, also 3 hours each way and about 4 hours of testing/talking/preparing), surgery moved up to this Thursday, more anxiety filled nearly sleepless nights.. But..
I have NEVER (to my sleep addled memory) missed a Pirate day yet and I'm not going to now!

 

There's no way I'm up to making new pirate pictures, so please bear with me and pretend it's throw back Thursday Pirate day! (Way Back Wednesday?)

 

The first Captain Leo I ever made! (I think, remember, sleep addled brain here!)

A better Captain Leo!

And the girls, Glitter and Cashmere, Mercat sirens luring pirates to their deaths!

Wouldn't be right to not include the fierce Pirate Queen, Star, our own special angel.



 

 

 

Arrgh! Yo ho! Drink up, me hearties! Walk the plank! Shiver me timbers! It's the pirates life for me!!

 

 

(Ok, THIS is probably my last blog for a while, surgery and recovery, yup, 3 hours from home! Won't be back until Sunday most likely, but don't worry about the kitties, they have someone here caring for them and the house!)

 

Have a Great Pirate Day!!

WTFriday

WTFriday is the day I like to share what I call "What The Freak?" pictures. This one is not some odd optical illusion like last week. This is a What The Freak is with this cat??

Glitter finds the most unusual and uncomfortable looking places to lay! I don't get this cat! With all the cat beds and furniture, why does she sleep on stinky shoes?? Uncomfortable stinky shoes!


First, daddy's work boots. Why??

Glitter: I don't think I like the tone of your question..

Then my shoes, completely on top of one of them, half on the other.. How can that be comfortable??

Glitter: You wouldn't understand. It's a cat thing..

Then TWO pairs of work shoes!

Glitter: Ok, I admit it. This one takes practice. Don't try it at home, kittens!

And finally.. go ahead, hold your nose, you know you want to... Two pairs of work shoes AND the stinky socks that were inside them!

Glitter: Ok, this is only for the serious shoe sleepers out there, not for the faint of heart.

Cashmere: Seriously, the floor smells better!

Glitter: Some people just don't understand the art form.. Useless to try to explain. Philistines..

I just don't get it.. Do you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make the Winnie's Wish Quick Auctions go so well! I'll have the total and the check sent to Chrystal soon! It went even better than I hoped thanks to all of you who shared, posted, and bid! (I'll say this much, looks like you all helped the kitties to the tune of over a grand!) All items are currently winging their way to their winning bidders!

And I have to say, it was a huge blessing that everyone responded so quickly to emails telling them that they won! Everything but the math is done and well ahead of my surgery date! Thank you thank you thank you!

I have not been blogging much since the end because of getting ready to go (surgery is 3 hours from home) and pre-op stuff (who knew that would take an entire day!) Not to mention all the 'not sleeping because now it's real and I'm nervous/anxious/ready to freak out! Considering the surgery is next week, you probably wont see much of us for a while! But please remember, we love you all and appreciate you all and will be back into the swing of things as soon as possible!

Hugs and purrs to everyone!

Sunday Selfie and Final Auction Day

I love this picture of Glitter. Doesn't it look like she knows something you don't? Love her smirk!

Glitter: How had could it be to know something mom doesn't? We kitties know all and tell nothing!

One thing I wish she could tell me is how to stop getting eye glare.. Darn flash!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is it!
The Winnie's Wish Quick Auctions ends Tonight at Midnight! It's your last chance to shop, last chance to bid, last chance to make sure you win your item!

Thank you!!

Caturday Art

I decided to use the picture of the girls sleeping together that I posted on Wordless Wednesday. Greg is always saying he never sees any of the kitties sleeping together, so I had posted those as proof that yes they do! Maybe not cuddled up, but certainly together!

Anyway, here's the original:

 

And  here are my Art-ified ones!

WTFriday

Way back in ...May! I 'thought' I was going to start a new thing, but then, just as I sort of predicted, forgot!

Here's what I wrote on my first WTFriday:

Don't you all have those pictures of your kitties that make you say What The Freak? I sure do! 'Cause kitties is freaky! Mine are anyway. And hey, I've seen a lot of yours so don't go thinking I'm alone in this! ;)

I might try to make WTFriday a thing for a while. If I don't forget.. because, ya know, I'm about as freaky as my kitties at times! hee hee


Yup, forgot! But then, I got this picture! And it's a real What The Freak??

Cashmere: Am I here? Am I gone? You don't know! Neither does mom!

I have no idea what happened. Obviously I must have moved, thus the blur. But.. Cashmere looks like she was there at the start of the picture and was gone before it finished clicking! Half of her is gone! But the eyes, they are bright and clear, so explain that one!

I don't know about you, but I'm freaked out! I mean, you can see the carpet THROUGH her! Yeah, freaky!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Know what should also freak you out? The Winnie's Wish Quick Auction is over in 2 days!!!
Ok, maybe not freak out, but hurry and check out the final items that were added as well as some other goodies that have been passed up!

Remember, all bids help the kitties of Winnie's Wish!

Be sure to check out the adoptable kitties on the sidebar of Winnie's Wish/Daily Dose blog and please please help them find their forever homes!

Here are a few items that have no bids so far!

 

 There are other items without bids, and some with bids that you might not want to let get away!

Wordless Wednesday With the Girls

~~~~~~~~~~~

I have added the last of the puffy pet beds to the Winnie's Wish Quick Auctions. I believe these will be the last items I will be able to add seeing as how the auction will end on the 10th (although I was considering moving it to the 12th if need be) There's only days left to get your bids in if you want something!

Remember, every bid helps the kitties of Winnie's Wish! They are full up and go through food and litter quickly! Not to mention medical bills and other daily expenses. Every little bit helps!

 

 

Also, don't forget that there are some really adorable kittens and some very sweet adult kitties who want, need, deserve! homes of their own! Please share the kitties on the sidebar of the Daily Dose blog!

Donations and wish list items are always appreciated too!

Toes and Tail Tuesday

Mystery Cat: Toes and Tail Tuesday? Ok, here you go!

Mystery Cat: Good idea, turn out the light, all the better to see the toe hawks! What's that? You're missing parts of me? Well, I thought all you wanted was toes and tail, no? If you guess, I'll reveal!

.

Keep guessing..

Got it? Or give up?

Ok, here I am!

Glitter: That's right! It's me! I must say, it's not very polite to catch me at my bath. Don't worry though, I am not stopping. It takes a lot of work to keep all this fluff looking so good!

Glitter: Hee hee hee, I really kept you all guessing, didn't I? Hope you have a terrific Toes and Tail Tuesday!

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't believe it's the 5th already! The Winnie's Wish Quick Auctions end on the 10th! There are still many cute items left! And sometime before tomorrow, the last of the items will go up! I have several new Puffy Pet Beds almost finished and ready to go on the block! Large, small, and the new mini size!

 

Remember, every bid helps the kitties of Winnie's Wish! And time is running out!

 

Be sure to stop over at Winnie's Wish, The Daily Dose blog, and see all the wonderful kitties who seriously need homes! Share one or two of them and feel the joy of helping them to find their forever family!

Floofy Friday

Cashmere: The best way to display your floof, my dear kitty friends, is in a place right in the way of the humans. Like in front of hallways!

 

 

Cashmere: If you can get a fluffy sister to spread her tail out to block the rest of the way, all the better! Now, I think I'll take a nap right here. I'm a floofy road block!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple more items up on the Winnie's Wish Quick Auctions today! Remember, the entire auction will end on the 10th this month!

Every bid helps the kitties of Winnie's Wish!
