To a cat lover every cat from the beginning of time
has been utterly and amazingly unique ~

Thinking Timothy

~ If you would know what a cat is thinking about,
you must hold its paw in your hand for a long time ~
-- Jules Champfleury --


I do wonder what they are thinking,
they have secrets that we'll never know.

Weep for the animals.....

There can be no justification for causing suffering to animals
simply to serve man's pleasure
or simply to enhance man's lifestyle
- - The Dean of York --

'Noah's Ark' of 5,000 rare animals found floating off the coast of China

This may be too hard for some to read.
I did not read all of it.
It's just so very sad.

Why I Don't Garden ~~

~ Animals do feel like us..also joy, love, fear and pain
but they cannot grasp the spoken word.
It is our obligation to take their part and continue
to resist the people who profit by them,
who slaughter them and who torture them ~
-- Denis de Rougement --

My sweet Boyz, Bob and Patrick.
We went walking last week and they enjoyed a little oak tree.

Photo Hunters assignment today was to find something

Of course I think my little Calico Kitty-Cat, Sara
sitting on a sunflower cushion in a blue chair with my
Rainbow Angel Holly Belle Asbell's bandanna behind her
is Purrfectly Colorful :)

Happy Hunting Everyone!!

Turtle and Trash and Booth

~ One man's trash...~

Someone told me that cook books sold well. Yesterday I bought 15 and today a few more, some pictured above. Also some Tiara, which has pretty much run it's course around here, but, it's something to put in my booth!

The Kitty-Cat tail and backside belongs to Timothy. I've had him since 2002. He was thrown out of his house by a man after his wife left him, and survived on his own for quiet a while. There must have been a good reason she had to leave Timothy. He is a true lover, nothing pleases him more than sitting in my lap, well, except for food. Timothy enjoys his food
It's beyond me how anyone can dump or kill an animal. I truly hope everyone that reads my blog understands that I cannot tolerate reading about any kind of abuse, any of any kind. If one wants to kill an animal, I'd rather not read about it. There are other solutions.
Oh! Almost forgot the rest of the story..Turtle.
On my search for trash to turn to treasures, I happened upon a turtle in the middle of the road. Managed to pull over, go back and get her. Brought her home and put her deep in the woods on protected property close to a creek. I've rescued many, many turtles, this was my second this year.

Photo Hunters - Cooked/Cooking

~ You cannot do a kindness too soon,
for you never know how soon it will be too late ~
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson --

No!! I didn't cook my Patrick Goat!
Stepping way outside the box here :)
I noticed last week how sunburned (cooked) his little head is
and have been putting sunscreen on him. It's sorta hard to do,
and he and Bob head-butt so much it just comes off.
Happy Hunting everyone!

This Is Maggie

~ Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test
(which lies deeply buried from view),
consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals,
And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle,
a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it ~
-- Milan Kundera --

This is Maggie.
She is an African Elephant. She lives alone in a zoo in Alaska
She has fallen/gone down twice this week for hours.

Friends of Maggie
is an organization dedicated to seeing that Maggie
is moved to one of four premiere institutions where
she can live in a warm climate with other female elephants.

Please
take a few minutes and read a little bit
~ about Maggie ~

Thank you Lisa for caring about the Elephants!

More Flower Frogs!

~ Though boys throw stones at frogs in sport,
the frogs do not die in sport but in earnest ~
-- Bion --

As promised, more flower frogs.
The holes that the stems of flowers go into are seen better in this angle.

The large green frog has a texture, and under it there is a wire frog.
These sat in the bottom of the vase instead of on the lip of the vase.

Meowmie, you need to move the big one to the front.
So much help from Bandit, Maggie Mae and Napoleon.
Most of these, and I have about 50, are from yard sales!

Timothy can always be counted on to guard things, especially Temptations,
but he'll settle for Flower Frogs today :)

To see a Really Great collection of flower frogs, see FroggieB's Collection. So many different kinds, I think she has about 600!
Another collector HERE

Thanks for your interest in my Photo Hunters Frogs, and come join us! This weekend it's Cooking/Cooked. I may have a hard time with that one since I don't!

Also, thank you all that came by with kind words for me concerning Georgia.

Rest In Peace TeaCup

~ If God created man in his own image,
you've got to wonder;
in whose image did he create the nobler cat? ~

After a hard battle with an awful infection,
TeaCup lost his life.

There are auctions to help with his huge vet bills.
Please go to my blog friend
No Jumping From The Bridge
to see the different auctions, as well as her beautiful beads
that she is offering to help with TeaCups expenses.
Thanks!
