Showing Love For Daddy and Opt to Adopt Blog Hop

Aren't cat guys the best? Even if they do kinda steal all the kitties.... Greg, I'm talking to you, having a cat parade follow you around the house and I'm just sitting here with itchy fingers wanting to pet any of them! Yeah yeah, I know.. You don't encourage them. Which is probably what attracts them to you! Can't you, for once, get all squeaky voiced, reachy, grabby, touchy so they'll run to me?? :p

Anyway, here's to cat guys! We think you're wonderful. And congratulations to Cat Daddy Jackson Galaxy who just got married!

Leo showed some love to his daddy.

See, this is what I like 'bout you, daddy, your furs are turnin' our color! You're trying to match us and I totally get the compliment!



Oh! hey momma. I'm just pattin' daddy on the head to show him some love. Why you gotta flashy box me, it's not like this is unusual, is it?



You guys pat and scritch us on the heads all the time.. What's the big fuss about? Sheesh. This my daddy and I loves him!



I know Leo, and I think it's sweet. I think it's even sweeter that even after you surprised him by patting his head, that daddy didn't move and let you keep doing it! Awwwwwww!


We saw this shirt on Angie Bailey's face book page (the Texts With Mittens lady) and HAD to get it for our cat daddy's birthday! it's the most awesome thing ever! (Mostly because our cat daddy has at least five batman tshirts that kind of resemble this.. hee hee) You can find it HERE.
He may have given me the raised eyebrow look when he opened it, but later, when there was no one else around, he said it was a pretty cool shirt. See! I know my catman! He may not want to admit it to everyone else, but he loooovvveeesss the kitties, every one of them!

We hope you show some love to the cat men in your lives today!

Furry Visitor

Oh my goodness did we have a busy week over here at the Celestial Kitties home! Even more than the already too busy getting stuff done for TSO's wedding. It was shower time and we had lots to do but we were so happy and had a wonderful time!

The busyness did make it impossible to visit or even post since Thursday, yikes! We missed you all and will try to catch up but we also have to kick dress making and other wedding things into high gear as we are less than two months away now. So please forgive us if you don't see us a whole lot, ok? We still love you all!!!

On to today's post!

There were one or two days of open doors around here (and boy do we wish they were back!) and Leo found, or tried to find... a furry pal!


Where? I don't see no new furry friend?
 
 

Is he over that way?
 
 

Wait.. is that... I think I see....
 

Hello? Are you the furry friend? Um mom, are you sure he's friendly? I mean, look at those teeth!



You wanna talk teeth, pal? I ain't trustin' those fangs of yours, not one bit! Please stop looking my way so I can scamper away when you're not looking.



Yeah, I know he's hard to see, it's from across the room through a screen door, but if I got any closer I'm sure he would have run.

Thankful Thursday

I know what I should have done! I should have saved yesterday's picture for today and used it for Thankful Thursday! Right! Did you see it?? All four of my kitties in the SAME PLACE! And Star, Ol' Princess Hissyface herself, NOT HISSING! Napping in fact!

No, she was not napping first and then everyone else came up, she finished her snack and went to lay by the door, not caring where everyone else was! Now, Leo's bowl is the one closest to her, he had left already but came back after she layed down. Cashmere is cleaning up Star's bowl even tough you can see her bowl next to Glitter is not empty.

Glitter will go from bowl to bowl and nibble a bit from each. I think she has to make sure everyone else got the same thing.. Cashmere will also taste from all the other bowls, just usually after a bit. It's actually unusual for her to be in Star's bowl while Star is in the same area! And seriously unusual for her and/or Leo to be that close and not be getting growled at!

What about Glitter getting growled at, you may ask? Go ahead, ask, I'll wait. La la la de da.. Sorry, what was that? You want to know about Glitter and growling from Star? Well so do I! It's the funniest thing! Star does not growl or hiss at Glitter (much)(knock on wood that I didn't just jinx it!) We think Star kinda might almost sorta in her own way maybe might not hate Glitter!

This might be because from the moment she arrived, no matter what Star did, hiss, growl, carry on, all Glitter does is sit there, sometimes look at her like "What is your big hairy deal, lady?" or basically ignore her. Cashmere will do that a lot of the time, but she will also run off, giving Star the win. Glitter makes every encounter a draw or a nonevent.

It's really kind of awesome!

Here's another thing for my list of things to be thankful for! And it happened just last night!
With this girl:
(Oh no, she's only got two legs! What happened?? :)  Seriously, does that look comfy?)
Hello kitties and peoples. I'm kinda thinking I kind of like it here now.

Cashmere was supposed to be the shy scared one. In fact Greg keeps asking me if I got their names mixed up! As if! These are Leo's sisters so I've kept my eye on them from the start! Anyway while Glitter is NOT shy, she also won't come up anywhere with a person.

She wants all her pets and loving while she's standing firmly on the floor. Or occasionally while she's on a cat tree. She does not come sit by anyone on a couch and she most certainly does not go on anyone's bed which means she won't sleep with anyone either.

Cashmere has been coming up on my bed every once in a while for some time now. She will sleep between my feet when she feels like it and when she notices that I'm awake she will stomp up to my chest to get tons and tons of scritches and pets and snuggles and lovings! And yes, I'm thankful for that, but that's not new (think I've mentioned it before here).

Last night Greg sort of woke up, as people do, to shift positions, not really awake awake, just not asleep, and he bumped into something. He opened his eyes and it was Cashmere! Right up next to him. And his bumping her didn't make her run! He went back to sleep, bumped her again a few more times and still, she stayed right by him. So sweet! (When she sleeps with me and I move my legs, she will usually leave, she doesn't give me many second chances.)

When his alarm went off, Cashmere was gone. Sort of, she'd moved down to sleep by his feet! Now, I know that it might seem like Greg is taking my kitties.. but I'm just so thrilled that Cashmere is so comfortable here that I don't mind! (much) I think it's cute the way she follows him around!

The way Leo does.
And you all know Star thinks he hung the moon...
Maybe I should be worried..

Nope, sorry, not gonna think about it. Not today. Not Thankful Thursday when I'm thankful for so many things!

First, that all of my kitties were together in that first picture with NO HISSING!
Second, that Star seems to be forming some kind of friendship or at least non-hate-ship with Glitter!
Third, that Cashmere is settling in SO well after just one month!
Fourth, that Cashmere slept with Greg and didn't run when he moved!
Fifth, that I have the kind of guy that kitties love and even though he will deny it to the end of days, that he's a real cat guy who loves them back!

I hope you have lots to be thankful for today too!

Sleepy Weirdness and Opt to Adopt Blog Hop

Don't you just love it when kitties sleep weird?

Leo: Who you callin' weird?



Ok, at first glance that might not look all that weird.. but did you see the feet? For heavens sake the FEET!




And those toe hawks! Couldn't you just squee???

I know I've featured Teddy recently, but today I'm putting out a HUGE plea! Please please, help! He needs, NEEDS! people of his own! He needs a family! He's so sweet and wants to be pet and loved on! I keep saying that the cathouse is a great place, better than alternatives, but it's just not home. Just not a family of their own. And Teddy is a guy who is desperate for that family!

He wants to share pets and love with a few less than a dozen or so other kitties.. Don't get me wrong, Teddy loves other cats, and would settle into a multi cat house easily. He needs his own people! He needs a lap to sit on, a hand to pet him, a bed to sleep on, maybe some buddies to cuddle with when the humans are busy.

Will you please please help Teddy? He had a home once and had to be returned because it was... ok, let's not go there because it's the same home my girls were in.. Let's just say they are ALL better off out of that place and now deserve so much better! My girls are in a good home (in my opinion, and I hope yours) and now Teddy deserves his chance!

Are you absolutely sure you can't put another kitty in your home? How about a trial to see if it would work? Are you absolutely sure you don't have a friend or neighbor or relative who would fit a kitty like Teddy into their home and lap? Are you absolutely sure there isn't a single family in your world who could take on a loving sweetheart? Will you please do all you can to get him in a home?


I know it sounds like I'm begging, and trust me, I AM! It's past time Teddy (and the rest of the Winnie's Wishers) got on with their lives with their families! So I will beg, I will cajole, I will even press guilt buttons if that's what it takes! Teddy wants a home and I want to help him get one. Don't you?

Also featured recently, the new batch of kittens. They need homes before they grow up. People always want kittens, don't they? Let's find some of those people and tell them about these cute little things! And tell them that transport help is available!





Check out all the Winnie's Wishers at the Daily Dose blog, see them on the side bar. And please please PLEASE pass on the word about Teddy, the kittens and the rest!

Mattress Sleepers

All kitties love to sleep on beds, right? But leaning against the wall mattresses? That's just odd.
I've shown pictures of Star and Leo sitting on such a mattress in our house, and that's the reason it rests on it's short side not standing up tall. Star could climb it easily, but we worried about her getting down. Leo got up there once like that. But on it's side.. That's a different story. It's become a kitty nap zone!


This is Star taking advantage of space. See how cute and stretched out she is?





Greg managed to walk right past her without waking her up for a view from the other side. She's just the prettiest little thing!

I know you're there, I just don't feel like moving..




Wait a minute, this one isn't Star! Way too big.. it's Leo! In the same spot!

I could have a nap if you'd keep a look out for Princess Hissyface.
 
 
 

Oo, he doesn't look too happy here, does he?

My spidey sense, I mean, my kitty sense is tingling....




And here's the reason for that!

Star: That's my spot, barbarian..
Leo: Um, no speak english.. I mean cattish!
Star: You better learn it fast then! And move!
Leo: Time share?
Star: Fine, you've had your share, now it's my time!



Hope you find great sleep spots, and that it's always your time!
