Thankful Thursday

My mom, Piper's mom, underwent a surgery on her carotid artery yesterday. She did very well and we are very thankful!

 Piper: I don't know what I'd do without her, she knows all the good spots!

Piper's happy and so are we! She gets to come home today, and that makes us doubly happy and doubly thankful!

Three Way Birthday!! and Comment-A-Thon!

Oh my gosh, my babies are 8 years old today!! No no, they are young, kittens even! They cannot be aging! I absolutely forbid it!

THIS is how I still think of them, without the frightened expressions maybe, and not with Spritz trying to crawl backwards under Leo.. but see, my babies!!! (Glitter in front, Leo on the left, Cashmere on the right and Spritz lower left. Spritz and the other two sisters, Trixie and Mitz were all adopted and living the good life with great families!)

 

 

 But this is how they actually are, sigh, grown up adult kitties. But that doesn't mean they aren't still my babies!

Who put that chart here? Ignore this! They are not 48! They are more like 3 year olds! Goofy and wild, and.. ok slightly lazy, but still babies!

 

Happy 8th Birthday, my loves!

And please, stop getting older now, ok?


On the special occasion of their birthdays, I'd like to remember, and remind, that they were once feral kittens rescued by Chrystal and were Winnie's Wish kitties! We had a garage sale over the weekend (the reason we haven't posted was the sale and getting set up for it) to benefit Winnie's Wish and we raised 134.50!!! Yay!

But the kitties would like to raise a bit more, so we're doing a Comment-A-Thon! We will donated $1.00 a comment up to $100!! And we'll probably send it in the form of litter and food from their Wish List!

If any of you would like to help Winnie's Wish, aside from commenting! You can send a donation or something from their Amazon Wish List! Every bit helps!! There is a donate button on the sidebar of the Daily Dose of Dogs AKA Cats With Your Coffee blog! Thank you!!!

Wordless Wednesday with Glitter

The Princess and the Pillow

Glitter is a bit of a princess. She looks down from on high (on her cat tree perch) onto the rest of us lower class creatures. At snack time she doesn't pace back and forth meowing for her treat, she sits in her spot and waits for someone to serve her. She takes what she thinks of as the best nap spots as her due and if a better one pops up, she takes that one too.

The self heating nap mat is considered prime real estate whether it's on the chair (at night) or the bed (during the day). During the day it sits next to some pillows. So which is better? Pillows or nap mat? That can change from day to day and depending on the material of the pillow case.

Apparently cotton knit (which I was giving a test and didn't care for) is hot property.

I know I appear to be asleep, but I'm contemplating.

I just know there is something amiss... I mean, I like this pillow, but still...

 

 

ah ha! Now I know! There is a wrinkle in the sheet under the pillow. Not as annoying as a pea, but still, it disturbs my naptime. Fix it, servant.

Of course, your highness. Immediately, your highness. Your comfort is everything, your highness!


By the way, please notice her gray lipstick in the last picture. Honest to gosh, it's so cute! And it defines her smile, so sweet. I have pointed out Cashmere's before; hers does not follow her lips but makes a sort of circle in the front and it looks like she's pursing her lips for a kiss. I think both of them are adorable!

I don't remember noticing this on any other tabby cats I've had in the past. Does anyone have a tabby with markings like these?

Caturday Art

For today's Caturday Art I'm using the picture of Glitter on the Celestial Skyway shelf from earlier this week.
I used both Gimp and Lunapic.

This one is called Beauty

Cartoonify

This is edge and invert. I was going for an embossed effect. I think I failed at that but it still came out kinda neat.

Illusion

This is sketch

 

 

And here's the original!

Black Cat Appreciation Day

It's Black Cat Appreciation Day! But I don't have a black cat, you say. Oh don't I? Ok, technically, not really..
but did you know that gray cats are really dilute black cats?? That's right, just like a calico with lighter colors is a dilute calico, a gray cat is really just lighter black. So really, my Leo is a dilute black cat!

Leo: I always knew I was special! About time I get some appreciation around here. (I know my mom gives me slave like devotion and all the love and snugglies I will accept, but you know what I mean..)

 

Leo: I'm gonna celebrate my appreciation day with a big ol' nap. How about you?

 

 

 

I'm gonna celebrate by giving him even more snugglies and kisses! :D

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!
