We remember 09/11/2011

We think Alan Jackson did excellent job with this song. Hopefully, we will never see a repeat of the tragic events anywhere in the world - we do hope that everyone remembers what happened when the world changed not only for us in USA but truly the entire world was changed as well on that September day.

In Memory Of Cathy (Beau's Mom)

Words can express how much Cathy will be missed. Her sister posted the sad news on facebook that Cathy had passed after being very sick the last few weeks. The news was quite unexpected and we would like to send out purrs to Beau, Cathy's family as well as all of our cat blogosphere family.

Thanks to Cat Blogosphere for the image of Beau.

Thursday Thoughts

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray this cushy life to keep
I pray for toys that look like mice
And sofa cushions, soft & nice
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks
And someone to scratch my back
For windowsills all warm and bright
For shadows to explore at night
I pray I’ll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To NEVER tell a human
The world is really ruled by CATS

It's my Purrthday!!!!!

Hi, everyone!!! It is my 2nd purrthday today! I'm very excited even though Mom had to post my baby picture up. I was born to feral Momma cat that Mom was helping look after. One day, Mom was feeding the feral kitties and trying to see the kittens (cause she knew Momma cat had them) and she saw me & my two siblings hiding in bushes. Momma cat decided that Mom would take care of me so she took me out from hiding & showed me to my Mom. Mom picked me up (I didn't like that - I was scared) & she took me to my forever home. My birthday wish is that all kitties & woofies find good forever homes... and I'd like some treats & toys too.

I also share my birthday with Sammy Meezer and with Mom's sister so Happy Birthday to you both.

Purrs ~ Myst

Family Friday

Hello, my name is Cocoa! I just moved in and I'm new at this blogging thing. Hmmm... Mom said I need to tell you about myself. First off, I am a good girl (Mom told me so), am quite petite (Blackie is bigger than I am), and am around two years old (according to the mean old v-e-t). Mom is hoping to get a better picure but she had to have her nephew hold me because I wouldn't be still for picture. It nice to meet all of you... let me know if anyone wants to know more. Mom is thinking about posting bios on all of us to remind everyone who we all are since she doesn't help blog enough.

Woofs everyone... Cocoa

Bird TV with Myst

Hi everyone!!! Does anyone (especially Nicky) want to come watch bird TV with me? The bird feeders are right outside the windows & we can watch from table or chairs.

If you have Mom on facebook she posted a picture of the new family member, we stil think we should send it away but she won't let us.

Storms

As many of you know, storms hit Alabama (our state) and other parts of the Southeast US very hard this past week. We and our family are fine - no damage here just some thunderstorms and winds. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people & furries who were affected by the storms.

On another note... we've aquired a new member of family & some of us are plotting to mail it to North Pole (don't tell Mom). We hope to have pictures & updates later.


Purrs... Jade, Myst & Blackie

Note from Jen (AKA Mom) - my sister & family came down from Lacey's Spring (Huntsville, AL area) Thursday because although there wasn't much damage they were out of power for an extended period of time. They just got it back today & went back home. My best friend lost her Dad after extended illness so I will be running up to Rome, GA tonight & again tomorrow for visitation & funeral so I will try to have update on new family member soon. Thanks... Jen

Sweet Praline (September 25, 1995 - April 25, 2011)

ONLY THE BEST

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.

(Author Unknown)

Until we meet again Praline... we are proud that we can call you a friend & will see you again. Mia, Ghost & BG are sure to be playing with you now.

Purrs to Mom Paula ... thank you for sharing Praline with all of us!

Jade's Gotcha Day

Thank you everyone for the birthday/gotcha day wishes... it is my third gotcha day with Mom but like all good Southern ladies I will not reveal my true age. We haven't fallen off face of earth - Mom just doesn't help post much.

Purrs.....

Formally Feral with Blackie

Hello, I am Blackie... it nice to meet everyone! Purrs!!!

Formally Feral Friday with Myst

Here is current picture to compare to my baby picture! I desparately need someone to help. You see it is the Mom's birthday today & she is picking me up and kissing on me since she is home. Surely I can do something other than kiss her for birthday - I might get human germs from her kissing :(

Anyone have ideas???

Baby White Cat Wednesday

Hi, everyone... we really haven't dropped off face of earth. It just seems that way. Mom spends too much time working & on facebook to help us blog. Hopefully she will start helping again soon so our friends won't forget all about us. Maybe she will even get a picture of Blackie so he can be introduced to everyone. I made her share my baby picture - this was first one ever taken of me. Mom thought I was too cute to find a home for so I got to stay here in my forever home.

Purrs.... Myst

Golden Memories
They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane.
I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as we are called back one by one, the chain will link again.

Until we meet again Eric & Luxor...


Thanks to Cat Blogosphere for lovely pictures of Eric & Luxor

Wordless White Cat Wednesday

Mom!

As some of you know (from facebook), Mom had surgery so we are busy nursing her back to health. Jade has night duty & makes sure she sleeps soundly. Maybe when she recovers she will actually help us blog!

Purrs... Jade, Myst & Blackie

Jade's Gotcha Day

I would like to invite you all over for temptations. Kittens can go play with Myst and anyone who likes an adventure can go outside exploring with Blackie ~ Jade

PLAY!!!! PLAY!!!! Come play with me ~ Myst

Jade is my fluffy Calico girl. Two wonderful years & I hope to have many more with her along with Myst & Blackie. I'm thankful she found her way to me & can't imagine life without her ~ Jen

We are back...

Hi, everyone... we really haven't dropped off face of Earth. Mom is horrible with not helping us (she addicted to facebook). We also are having some camera difficulties so no picture of us today but Mom hopes to have that worked out soon. Purrs to all our friends....

Jade, Myst & Blackie

Mondays with Myst

HI!!!! Sorry for no pictures but I won't stay still long enough for Mom to snap a picture... I'm only about 6 months old so I have questions...

1. Why can some bugs fly? I can't catch them when they land on ceiling.
2. Why does Jade hiss at me?
3. Why can't I help cook?
4. Why is there a tree in the living room with door closed?
5. Why am I not allowed to climb it?
6. Why are there socks hanging on wall?
7. Who is this Santa fellow that is suppose to be coming?
8. Why does Blackie live outside while Jade & I are inside?
9. Why does Mom kiss me on the head?
10. Why are there closed doors?

Mom said there are a lot of smart cats on blogosphere so I'm hoping someone can help me with my questions (I have more).

Thx - Myst
