Photo Hunt ~ Self

A child is someone who passes through your
life then disappears into an adult.


Todays Photo Hunt is Self.
We couldn't decide which one of The Bunch
is Self, so we're showing ME and The Mom.
We went to the grandbeans school for
Show And Tell.
I had fun (I love to ride)
I was the best of all the 'shows'

Memorial Day

We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them.
-Francis A. Walker-

Memorial Day is to honor those who perished while in military service.
We are thankful that our Mom had her Daddy for many years after WWII.
Mom is a few days old here, and meeting her Daddy for the first time.
He had to go back to the war until it was over.

We honor all the men and women who have given their lives for this country.
This would be a good time to pick up your Peace Globe to display on June 4, 2008!
~ The Bunch

Easy Like Sunday Morning ~ KittyBoy

May life always be gentle with you

Hope all beans and furs are having a nice and safe Memorial Day Weekend.
We're just relaxing here at the home of The Bunch.
As the newest member, I'm relaxing more than the others because I'm safe inside!
Sometimes I will ask to go out, and have even escaped twice, but came right back.
Yes, I feel relaxed, happy and safe here.
I miss Bob and Patrick. Wonder if Mom would let them in to visit with me?
((((HUGS))))

Photo Hunt ~ Shoes

A lie can travel half way around the world
while the truth is putting on its shoes.
-Mark Twain-

This week the Photo Hunt is for SHOES!
With Mom's RA she has a hard time wearing shoes.
These are pretty easy to wear.
This was a shelf in her booth at an antique shop.
She didn't want to sell it, and thought this would be a good idea.

That's me, Bandit, in the chair and Sara is in the window.
She's so tiny it's hard to see her.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's shoes at
TNChick's Photo Hunt!

Come join us!

Hugs In Honor of Bonnie

Hugs are the universal medicine.

We were so sorry to learn that Bonnie had crossed the bridge.
We think our Rainbow Angel, Georgia was waiting to
give Bonnie a hug, just like she used to give her brofur, Napoleon...
... (if she will let her!) ...
Soar high pretty Bonnie. You will always be loved and remembered in our hearts.

We join many others at The Cats Blogosphere in a Hug Weekend Tribute for Bonnie.

Toesies and Tummy ~ Noah

Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the
world because you can't stop and rest.

Hi, Noah here!
Thought I'd show you my most favorite place
to rest when Mom is at the computer.

I prefer to lie directly on top of the keyboard,
but we negotiate and I settle for this when
she is typing. Who needs to use numbers?

Lisaviolet has some tummies, too!

ManCat Monday ~ Napoleon

If youth only knew; If age only could.

Hi, Napoleon here!

I was diagnosed in November with CRF and Mom gives me fluids every other day. It's not something either of us look forward to, but it helps me stay as healthy as I can.

I eat special food and sometimes can talk Mom into actually mixing some good food in with it. The V-E-T said it's better for me to eat something than not eat my special food at all.

As you can see I still groom myself, as well as some of my brofurs and sisfurs. I'm not as big of a ManCat as I once was, but I'm still a fine one!

Mancat Monday ~ KittyBoy

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery-

I'm the new guy here. Can't say it's by choice, although it seems to be a pretty nice place for a fella that's been living outside for a long time.

I wandered up (maybe I was tossed out of a car? Maybe my people moved away?) last summer and the Lady started feeding me. She even put me HERE on her blog.

I'd spent some nights here, but most days she thinks I went into the woods. I had at least two 'arguments' with other critters, and have a torn ear for proof! Along about then, I decided to let the Lady pet me...a little. She had made me a nice bed in a big chair on the carport.

As Spring came around, she decided I needed to make a trip to the v-e-t. This, of course, was not in my plans, as there are many lady cats down the street that I must occasionally visit. The Lady started feeding me in a big carrier, and next thing I knew, one day last week I was being handled by perfect strangers and then in The Lady's house! She put me in an extra room, but by morning I had escaped through a heat vent into the basement. The rest is a very long, very expensive story that I won't go into because I'd rather just forget.

I have taken over That Gracie's cat tree and The Lady, who from now on will be known as Mom is going to try to find her, or maybe me, another one. She will have to save her green papers because of the afore-mentioned expensive story that I didn't go into.

My name, as soon as she saw me last year, was KittyBoy, and it seems to have stuck.
If any of The Bunch comes into the front room, I just turn my head and let them sniff. I do not hiss or spit or growl. I ventured out of the front room yesterday, and just about everyfur was all right with that. The boycats are very friendly. The girlcats are not as interested in me. Most of them already know me a little bit through the screened in porch and doors. I'm just on the other side now.
I'm a nice boy and I have a forever home. Now I just need a cat tree of my own, and Mom said she's working on it, but I should be patient it may take a while!

Nighttime Visitors

Living with animals can be a wonderful experience, especially if we choose to learn the valuable lessons animals teach through their natural enthusiasm, grace, resourcefulness, affection and forgiveness.
-Richard H. Pitcairn-

We left some apples for The Boyz on the carport.

Little footprints give away the masked thieves.

We'll leave more out for them tonight!

PhotoHunt ~ Time

Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
-Carl Sandburg-
This is us when we came to live here in 1995.
That was a long TIME ago.
