Dream Comes True

Way back when I got Leo, over 8 years ago, I had this dream. I dreamed that someday I'd have two gray cats snuggled up together. Those who've been with us since then will remember that we had a senior gray kitty, Star, when we adopted Leo. They did NOT get along.. They moved to sort of tolerating each other, but were never friendly.
The closest they would be to sleeping snuggled up together was to be on opposite sides of a king size bed with two human buffers between them.. (Ok, I'm exaggerating a little.. sometimes they'd be on the same couch too, lol)

Leo and Glitter have come close to snuggling by sharing a pillow next to me, but they, (and I mean Leo mostly) prefer that there's at least my arm or that much space between them.

And then! Last night this happened!

 Glitter: I've never had an issue. I don't care who's there, when I want a place, I just take it. I'm that determined.

Leo: I don't like it.. but hey, it's cold today. What's a chilly mancat to do? When I warm up, I'll give her the slow paw to the head, it's how I hint that she's not wanted here. But I have to sneak it in before mom notices because she takes my paw before I can connect if she sees. Anyway, that's all, nap time now...zzzzzzzzz

(It actually ended better than I could have hoped, no slow paw of doom, Glitter got warm I guess and left before Leo woke up! I'm still beaming!)

 Two days until the auction!!!!! Please share the news if you can!!

Glitter Requests and an Auction Announcement

Glitter had some words for me.. (Pardon the blurry cell phone pictures)

Glitter: Hey, you need to move that thing.. 

Move what thing??

 

Glitter: That lappy-top thing. It's in the way of my cuddles..

Ok Glitter, I'll take a little break, just for you..



A break from what, you may ask?

From getting the new Winnie's Wish Holiday Auction ready to go!!

That's right, a new (and long overdue) auction will be starting up on November 8th and going through December 8th! It will be in our fun Insta-Auction style so you can win your bids within three days of bidding instead of waiting until the whole thing is over!

I have so many wonderful things for kitties and humans alike! Things for you, things for gifts, things for everyone! I sure hope you'll turn up and see the fun on the 8th!

Here's our Auction Badge, please feel free to take and share it! Thank you!

Side bar size!

Three more days, I can hardly wait!!

Baby It's Cold Outside

Seriously, it's getting SO COLD already! Does anyone else remember when we used to have springs and falls in between winters and summers? I sure do miss those seasons..

So does Cashmere, she's looking for some warmth!

Cashmere: Someone make the hots come outta this thing already, will ya?

My niece, Twin2, took this picture since I have none on my computer since the crash. I still have my camera but it's been acting up a bit too.. Guess I'm gonna need to drive the cats crazy with the flashy flash thing soon so I can start posting more regularly.

Vintage Halloween

I didn't want another month to pass without a post from us and as the last day of the month, today, is Halloween, I went through my old posts to find a Halloween kind of picture. What I found was one from way back in 2012! When Star was still with us and before Glitter and Cashmere joined us.

Princess Star and Viking Leo say Happy Halloween!! And pass over the treats, bwahahaha!

The reason I had to go looking for an old picture... is my laptop crashed. Big time. As in the hard drive is non-operable so I can't even get my data off of it. Meaning... I lost all of my pictures, everything. I'm going to try one of those data recovery places and hope for the best even though I know they're expensive. If it was anything but the hard drive, I'd do it myself, always have, but this is out of my scope. Darn it!

That's only part of the reason I haven't been blogging, but I'm really really hoping to get back to it. Gotta take more pictures of the kitties! And this time, save them somewhere else than just the computer before deleting the memory card..

Happy Halloween all! Or Happy October! Or just happy to see you again!!

Belated Birthdays Caturday Art

Well, I've done it again. I've been late on every event in the kitties' lives this year, so why not be late on their birthday as well... And I missed our blogoversary entirely in April.

On August 27 Leo, Glitter, and Cashmere turned 9!
Nine!!
NINE YEARS OLD!!

Say it ain't so! Why, they're still my babies! My little bitty (giant) kittens!! Who let them get this old?? Was it you?! Well, I don't like it, not one bit! They must stay babies!

And because it's Caturday Art as well, I think I'll art up their baby pictures!

Here's the original. Only one of Leo's sisters is missing from this picture. Mitts was playing, they were watching her. She wasn't as scared of the humans as the rest of them were when they arrived at Winnie's Wish.

The other three sisters were adopted as well, so happy for them! Happy birthday wherever you are, girls!

Happy Birthday to my babies! Happy Birthday Leo! Happy Birthday Glitter! Happy Birthday Cashmere! I love you all!

On behalf of their birthday I've sent a whole bunch of litter and some treats to Winnie's Wish. I invite you all, either on behalf of my kitties birthdays, or because of your kitties, or just because you love kitties, to make a donation or Wish List purchase on Amazon for Winnie's Wish!
Every bit helps as there is no other funding for Winnie's Wish except us. And every little bit is so appreciated! So if you can, if you will, please do what you can from where you are! Thank you!

Winnie's Wish Wish List on Amazon link

Daily Dose blog link, with a donate button on their side bar

Of course, if you prefer, there's a donate to red Winnie's Wish button on my side bar and if you use it, I will use it to send wish list items to Winnie's Wish in your name (I have amazon prime, no shipping costs!)

Mostly Missing Mancat Monday

You know when you go to take a picture because your kitty is just too cute and the little bugger moves just as you snap the shot? Well that explains today's picture!

Leo: Time for my pettin', I'll come to you this time!

So why use that shot? Well, I adore that feathery tail of his! Especially when the tip of it flips over from side to side as you see here so it looks like a big fluffy question mark!

Aside from that, the "mostly missing" part of the title kind of describes how we've been blogging lately! It's my fault. Not that it would be the kitties, right? But still, it's been bugging me that I can't seem to get myself together enough to blog more. I have a lot of reasons, but they would start sounding like excuses and that's just boring. Basically it boils down to that I used to always try to post around midnight and now I can't and I feel weird posting in the middle of the day. But now I'm thinking I have to get over that and just post when I can and not worry about what time of day it is!
So, here's hoping we won't be mostly missing any more but will be at least partly back!

We'll work on being better about commenting too.. I've been visiting, but for some reason when I use firefox, which I've had to start using for most stuff, comment boxes are missing for a lot of the blogs I read. I'll try to figure it out so I can comment more, just know I am reading and we loves you all!!
