Anna Sue on Thankful Thursday

I've been on a constant diet for the last two decades.  

I've lost a total of 789 pounds.  

By all accounts, 

I should be hanging from a charm bracelet. 

 - Erma Bombeck -   

Hai Furriends and Beans..

Mom has put me on a diet because I am diabetic, and I am doing just fine so far! We discovered this before my brofur Napoleon had to run off to The Rainbow Bridge. Mom was pretty busy with worry. She is an expert at worry and had two of us to keep her worrier busy. I get an injection of insulin and go to the VET to get tested on my ear. Can you see where they steal my bloods?? It does not hurt, but Mom said it distracts from my beauty. I say it gives me character. 

We want to thank everyone for their kind words about Napoleon. We sure do miss him around here. He was here a long, long time. He was 12 years old when I came here in 2004. He was a great cat and is now at The Bridge with his sisfur, Georgia. This is one of Moms favorite photos of them, because she was so tiny and he was so big.. but she did not let that stop her from telling him what for!

We know they are happy and running free and healthy.

Thank you again for all your sweet thoughts for our boy.

We are Thankful for the Cat Blogosphere!!

~ Anna Sue and Mom Bobbie

Napoleon is gone ....

Grief is like the ocean; 

it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. 

Sometimes the water is calm, 

and sometimes it is overwhelming. 

All we can do is learn to swim.

I've lost one of my best friends.

I've known him over 20 years.

He was a wonderful cat. 

I'll miss him so...

Until we meet again, 

g'bye Napoleon,

I love you..

Monday with Napoleon

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening,

 be patient. 

It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear. 

 - Pooh - 

Mom said I could not climb to the back of the chair.

It appears I was not listening.

Just had my fluids, and feeling better..

Hope all my furriends are feeling good.

Happy Monday!

Napoleon on Monday

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...

 there is something you must always remember. 

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, 

and smarter than you think.

 But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... 

I'll always be with you.  

  - Winnie The Pooh - 

Hai Furriends!

A friend said they would like to see some photos of me when I was

younger. That was about thirteen eleventy squillion years ago!

Well, now.. it was a little bit difficult because there are no

pictures of young, handsome me in digital, and no scanner. 

 My sister-bean, Rene' said

 'Take a picture of a picture!'

Very good idea, and here they are.

Above is my sisfur, Georgia and me when we first got here.

We were pretty old 'kittens' but probably not a year old.

Above is my brofur from a different Mother, Mr. Nicholas.

He was Mom's heart cat and she loved him lots.

She called him her 'old man' .. now 20 years later..

she calls me her 'old man'.

She still misses Mr. Nicholas.

Above you can tell how all the other kittycats would lay with me.

I would bathe and lick them all, and love them.

Miss Emily, Mr. Nichollas and Little Sara are around me.

Miss Emily still wants me to groom her, but I'm a bit too weak

and she knocks me off balance when she head bonks me.

Well, that is me over 20 years ago.

Mom was just a kid then, about 49 years old. 

We have been through a lot, my Mom and me.

Wishing every fur and bean a good week!

~ Napoleon

Mancat Monday with Napoleon

I still have a full deck,

I just shuffle slower now. 

Hope you all are having a good Monday.

I'm doing all right. Have started making Mom open several

kinds of food before I decide which one I want, if any.

Right now it seems to be Whiskas in the little flat container,

Of course Mom is out of those.

Happy Monday to all..

Napoleon on Friday

The Shadows: Some hide, some reveal.  

- Antonio Porchia - 

Hai Furriends!

Mom does not know when I was born. Actually, she never knew, as her son-bean brought my sisfur and me into the house twenty years ago. He was going to find a home for us, and asked Mom to just keep us for a while. It has been a long while! My sisfur Georgia left for The Rainbow Bridge in 2007 when she was 15 years old. Since then, I have lost my hearing and my eye sight, but at the age of 20+ I think I am doing fine! Mom is thankful for my sense of smell, because I love to eat and that, of course, keeps me going.

Hope every bean and every fur has a super-great weekend!

~ Napoleon

Sunshine on Monday

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.... 

Our Mom has been sad since Maggie Mae had

to run off to the Rainbow Bridge.

We are telling her she has lots of love from all of us.

We think she is better and we will be back soon.

We miss our furriends!!

Wordy, Wordy Wednesday

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,

 of just going along, 

 listening to all the things you can't hear, 

 and not bothering.

- Piglet -

Hai Furriends!

We have got Doing Nothing down to an art.

Our Mom, on the other hand, has been quiet busy with

The Boyz...

While she was walking them around the property 

(there is not enough grass in their area,

even with the hay they are served) 

she noticed Patrick was shivering!

They had spent one very cold night in the basement,

and the next night in their regular place.

She decided to put them stay in the basement again.

Things went well until Malachi would not follow her up the

basement steps into the house. She looked around to see if

he was coming up, and Bob started up the stairs!!

Yikes!

Bob is a Very Big Goat and the last time he got into the house he

jumped right up on Moms bed  

^..^

She managed to close the door, but could Bob go back down?

She waited and listened.. he didn't move, he was right at the 

door which was twelve steps up from the basement floor.

She finally went around to the door in the back yard and saw

 that he and Patrick were both in the basement. Whew!! 

Our Mom is not big enough 

to handle Bob and his hard-headed-ness for sure!

We are glad he went down the steps on his own!!

Patrick is better today.

Maggie Mae does not feel great, but she is moving around

She gets her staples looked at tomorrow...

Mom helped out a little bit at AWARE today.

We think she will sleep well, we may have to move over!

Happy Wednesday,

~ Miss Emily, Napoleon and Jasmine

Malachi is there!

"We'll be friends forever, won't we Pooh?' asked Piglet. 

'Even longer' Pooh answered."

- A.A. Mile -

Noah, Malachi and Napoleon.

Furriends forever.

Our sisfur, Maggie Mae is recovering from

having a mass removed. We love her.

Happy Wednesday!

Two on Tuesday with Napoleon and Noah

Help your brothers boat across,

and your own will reach the shore.

- Hindu Proverb -

Hai Furriends,

We are sitting on the heating pad.

Well, one of us has more of himself on the pad. 

Can you tell which one?

Hope you are having a good Tuesday. 

The sun is shining for us, hope it is for you, too!

Flashback Friday ~ Georgia

Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.

- Charles M. Schulz -

Hai Furriends,

Napoleon here, remembering my sisfur Georgia.

She had a way of putting me in my place,

but I loved her anyway and still miss her.

She left for The Rainbow Bridge in April, 19, 2007.

It is nice to remember and honor her.

Happy Friday!

~ Napoleon

Mancat Monday ~ Napoleon

In a cat’s eye, all things belong to cats.

I still say all things belong to me!
Happy Monday,

Wednesday with the Seniors

Do not regret growing older.

It is a privilege denied to many.

Hai Furriends!

Our big computer has been broken (still is) and Mom has a big problem trying to type on the little laptop. .. so we do not get to post or visit as much as we want to. Hope everyone is OK, we are doing well. .. We still have our babycats Clare and Sally. They are so cute. We have not met them purrsonally, but we can hear them meowing and digging at the door to get out!!

Happy Wednesday!

Don't worry about avoiding temptation -
as you grow older, it starts avoiding you.

Hai Furriends,
I'm still doing well for a 19 year old kittycat!
Sometimes Mom and I do not agree about giving me fluids,
and she usually wins that one.. but I get a treat when finished.
Happy Mancat Monday!!

Happy for Precious!

I've met many thinkers and many cats,
but the wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.

Mom finally got a pretty nice picture of me.
Usually my old eyes shoot lasers, but not today.

We are so happy for Precious, she has a new home!!
