Words from Mom

Mia and Ghost wanted me to update all our friends on how the family is holding up. We had a good Thanksgivng but it was a little depressing because we cleared out most of my Mother's clothing (it was a lot). Fortunately my sisters were able to help a great deal and most of the clothes were donated. Christmas is going to be hard again this year (last year Mother was in the hospital during Christmas)...

In other news... I'm working on my Christmas shopping. I always seem to get my neice & nephews a lot of stuff that they want... Speaking of the kids, I saw where the Poi Rats & Cats human sister Kinsey is being home schooled this year. My sister has home schooled all three of her children - she is still home schooling her 13 year old & 10 year old (my oldest nephew is in college). Hope that is working out well for Kinsey & her Mom.

Weather is bad here tonight (thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and high wind) so I need to sign off now. Hope everyone has a safe evening and that the storms pass through without causing any damage...

Bad day

Mom took me to stabby place this morning!!! I had two sticks for vaccinations but then they did other things to me! And that mean old vet talked about my age & that I needed more dry cat food & less stinky goodness! All because I've lost weight. It not fair!!!!

A word from Mom

I've taken over the blog for today to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and purrayers. My Mom lost her battle with cancer and even though we miss her terribly - we are comforted by the knowledge that she is no longer in pain. I just got back from the funeral home not long ago and the number of people and flowers was overwhelming for myself and my family. Thanks to all of my friends & family for all the in person & online comforting thoughts & purrayers

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

Tears in Heaven

Grammie went to heaven today. We have to go take care of Mom. She wants to thank all of you for your purrayers.

Happy Purrthday!!!

We have two purrthdays to celebrate today! Today's is Mom's oldest sister's purrthday - Happy purrthday Phyllis....

Today is also that handsome Beau's purrthday too. Beau is having a chat party on

Beau's Blog

. We hope you both have a wonderful day.

Happy Anniversary!

A word from our Mom...

I (and the cats) would like to wish my parents a very happy 49th wedding aniversary! That is a LONG time!!! I would like to also thank all my online friends (both human & feline) for all the prayers (or as the girls call them purrayers) for my family. Mother is still in a lot of pain and is now taking more pain medicine. I believe the pain medicine is helping Mother be more comfortable. Now back to the girls.... Jen


Mom is very concern about Gramma & we are doing as much as we can to help Mom feel better. Well at least I am - Ghost hisses at her. I think Ghost has athritis in her back paws causing them to hurt and to limp. I hope she feels better she is always grumpy if she has to go to the V-E-T.... Mia

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone has a safe one.

Who thought it would be a good idea to change the clocks??? My tummy alarm goes off at same time no matter what Mom's clock says! Probably a human idea.

We have been busy helping take care of Gramma lately. Mom says it is hard to watch someone you love suffer with the pain that Gramma is having. Please keep Gramma in your purrayers & thoughts.

Mom said that we could list some things we agree on... like we both like Stinky Goodness & naps. We are interested in your favorites too - what are your favorite foods & toys? We will list ours too but will wait & see what our poodie friends say first.

When we did our 5 things list, Mom made us choose different crushes so we want to list five that we agree on as well... Beau, Jasper McKitten, Mattingly, Oreo & Timothy Dickens.

Mia's Five things to come....

Gramma Update!

We haven't given many Gramma updates lately because there hasn't been much change. Things have gotten worse right now since Gramma isn't getting much sleep now. We hope our friends will remember Gramma in their thoughts and/or purrayers....

This is me (Mia) doing what Mom calls making Gramma's hospital bed more comfy. Gramma wasn't on the bed at the time.

See my new scratchy pad!!! It has some great catnip on it. Mom said I'd better use it and not the couch to scratch on.

This is Gramma's hospital bed at home. I was checking it out before she came home. But now I can't get on it cause Gramma is home!!! Thanks to all our poodie friends for the purrayers but please keep her in them cause she is still very weak.

Hello.... Gramma's hairballs (what's that - Mom said it was congestion that caused Gramma to cough not hairballs) are clearing up some so we hope she gets to come home soon. It very tiring waiting for everyone to get here to feed us!
