Remembering Our Bandit

If you live to be 100,
I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day,
so I never have to live without you.
- Winnie The Pooh -

One day in 1994 Mom grabbed a little kitten from the road.
He lived with us until January 3, 2009,
He was a crazy cat and we loved him!
We will see you at The Rainbow Bridge, Bandit.
We love you!
The Bunch and Mom Bobbie.

Photo Hunt ~ Fast

Animals are such agreeable friends,
they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
-George Eliot-The Photo Hunt theme for today is FAST.
These are two of our Rainbow Angels that
left for the Bridge this year...
Bandit left us January 3rd, at 15 years of age,
KittyBoy left on March 12 he was just over one year .
Time with them was so fast and we miss them so.
For probably happier Fast themes check out
TNCHICKS Photo Hunt.
Happy Weekend to all our furiends..

Remembering Bandit on Tuxie Tuesday

Don't cry because its over,
Smile because it happened!
-Dr. Seuss-

In 1994 Momma grabbed him up
from the middle of the street.
Such a tiny little kitten.
Such a joy he brought
to this house.

He grew up to be a most
handsome Tuxie boy and
was always into every
thing that went on in
his house.

On the third ofJanuary
this year, he told us that
he was ready to go to
The Rainbow Bridge
We sure do miss you,
Bandit
and we will see you again.
~ The Bunch and Momma

Thank you so very much....

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.
I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
-Mother Teresa-

We want to thank everyone so much for the kind words.
It was hard to get up this morning without Bandit's
'Meoweee Get Up! Meoweee Get Up!'
We will miss him terribly **tears**
A big Thank You to KC for the graphic,
it is beautiful.

...and Momma Bobbie

Mancat Monday ~ Bandit and Malachi

Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
-St. Francis of Assisi-

Hai, Bandit here....Some good news for me!

We got some new medicine last Friday and I have not had diarrhea for two days!! This is almost a miracle for us, as I've had it for so, so long. I had pills for three days, and we started a liquid today for three days. Many of you have asked about me, so we thought you would be happy for us, too! Just hope it continues (and Momma really hopes so!) Mom Bobbie here. We may have celebrated too soon, as it came back this afternoon *sigh*

As you know, this is my new brofur, Malachi, who the neighbor started feeding when he went to her house this fall. Since there is a cat over there that did not like him, he visited us. Now he has been tutored (he misunderstood all of that, see below!) and he lives inside with us.

Momma said 'Another mouth to feed'..we said 'It is OK, we will manage'.

I came from a house close by. Momma catnapped me in 1994 when I was walking in the middle of the road. There are a lot of cow cats there, and we think Malachi lived there, too. Many years separate us, but we think we're probably cousins. What do you think?

My Blessed Photo ~ Noah

Count your many blessings,
name them one by one.

Remember when I posted about Momma taking me
to the Animal Blessing by Dr. John?
You would think Momma would put her glasses on so
she could see and not squint those eyes!
Well, Dr. John and I looked pretty good.

The cat has too much spirit to have no heart

-Ernest Menaul-

Momma had the nerve to eat a Little Debbie thing
Right In Front Of Me!
I am feeling better, still have tummy trouble.
I have lost a lot of weight, and am trying hard to be well.
Thank you for all your purrs, prayers and good wishes.

By associating with the cat, one only risks becoming richer.

-Colette-

I have been feeling bad for a while.
Momma has taken me to two vets.
I may have IBS, but they don't think so.
Momma and I would appreciate your
purrayers and prayers.

even if you're not talking.

-Sarah Bennett-

Bandit: Look at this, It looks like Holly Belle.

Bandit: Yes, one of the bestest ever!
KittyBoy: She smells nice.
We're glad The Mom went to

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!

We join The Cat Blogosphere in a weekend (((Hug))) in memory of Bonnie Underfoot

Our Snuggle is here!

~ A world without cats...I dare not think of it ~

Mom bid on and won a Snuggle over at Lisa's No Jumping From Bridge
She sent some green papers and we have a new Snuggle.
Maggie Mae, me (Noah), Bandit and Timothy were very interested!
Since I'm the largest KittyCat here, I get to lie on it first.

The Auction was for CHURCHILL who has some heavy vet bills.
To add to the family's woes, his Mommie is at the hooman vet hospital now!
We hope that Churchill makes a complete recovery and his Mommie, too!

Easy Like Sunday ~ Bandit

After all is said and done
along comes somebody
who wants to know
what happened

Bandit here. Catching a few rays of sunshine.
Haven't been feeling very good lately.
Of course that meant a trip to the VET.
She said all is fine.

That didn't make me feel any better.

*Be sure to read below about Daisy's interview!*

I'm The Bandit! Mom picked me up when I was walking in the middle of the road. I was just a little baby. That was 13 years ago!

She calls me her Crazy Cat, I don't know why.

I can't decide if I should get up and investigate that new toy or just stay here.

Maybe I'll think about it some more.

**My brofurs, Bob and Patrick, are honored to be Daisy The Curly Cat's NOMSS friends!**
Daisy had a special interview with them, and they are out there prancing around all over the place!
I'm very proud of The Boyz ~ See interview HERE
