Legs - Wordless Wednesday

P.S. Today is Maggie May's Gotcha Day. Read how she was Gotcha'd!

Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)

*Mommick- v. meaning to bother or annoy with intensity

Poor Maya can't get a break from Maggie, actually none of the cats can. Maya just happens to be Maggie May's favorite to pester. Isn't that what little sisters are for? It all starts with some innocent face licking, but you know that always leads to the bitey!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY CORY AND ELLIE!

In honor of Cory and Ellie's Gotcha Day, we are joining in the commentathon and donating 25 cents to United Paws, for every comment we get on this post today! Be sure to stop by and wish them a Happy Gotcha Day and read their amazing adoption story!

Freak On A Leash

Ahhhh! Fresh air and sunshine! Everything was perfect, except the fact that the lady had me on a short leash. What's that about? Can I not be trusted?I had my eye on a delicious birdie, but every time I tried to run after him I couldn't get farther than 10 feet! Darn leash! It was totally ruining my game!
How am I supposed to get any hunting done when you have the leash attached to your belt loop, woman?
This is my "hey lady, hows about takin' this ridiculous leash offa me so I can catch some birds" look.
The look didn't work and I'm so over it. Let me back in cause it looks like Ferris is ready to come out. Once he realizes he will be on a short leash, he may change his mind!


We were abandoned on Saturday for the lady's bff's wedding. There was cake, but it was not made of nip. They did not shower us with gifts when they decided to roll in at 12:30 am Sunday morning. The servants are lame.

It's Alright

The lady has really been missing Cal a lot lately, which is to be expected. We really think she tries to repress memories to keep from crying. We've told her that isn't very healthy, but she doesn't listen to us --well what are we gonna do, we're cats!

Well, her new blogger friend Shelly did such a wonderful thing for her. Shelly put a memorial of Cal on the Critters Pet Memorial site. Shelly has a page for her beloved pets who have gone to the bridge and she added Cal as a friend. When the lady saw Cal and the wonderful things written, she was so surprised. The memorial really helped her to find comfort and peace. Not to mention, she cried like a baby! She is so thankful that she has a place to visit Cal. Thank you for your kindness, Shelly!

Interesting story......Cal left for the bridge around 9:00am the morning of March 26, that afternoon around 6:00pm the lady and her mom did their 4 mile walk around the neighborhoods. The lady was avoiding being in the house as much as possible, so the walk was good for her that day. She has done this walk many times, but do you know what she saw this particular day? A black cat walking through the grass. She pretty much knows all the cats in the neighborhood, and this one didn't belong. She had never seen the cat before and has never seen it since. And trust us, she looks for it every day she goes walking. A friend of hers said it was Cal transitioning and she totally believes that. He probably just had to make sure she was going to be alright.

Though you have gone from my life

You said that it would,

Now everything should be all right

Yeah should be alright.¯
