Mort's Mishaps

Fantabulous Easter

Today is Easter Sunday. This is mainly a religious day for different beliefs, I'm told, but it is also the kick-off for Spring. Like the whistle at the start of a race, or a coin toss before the Superbowl. Celebrating new life, new beginings, a new year awakening after the winter hibernation. My brother Percy is a hunter, and he spent the night looking for bunnys and eggs. But all the eggs were right here today, sent from all our wonderful friends. Thank you to all the furs who thought of my family today. We did our best to send everyone egg baskets, but at times technology just didn't want to cooperate, so if we missed you, it certainly wasn't our intention and we wanted to get eggs to everyone. We did get alot out, so we're happy about that. It was a beautiful 77 degree day, usually our Oregon Easters are spent in the rain so it was truly a blessing. The human girl was sick, so alot of the day I hung out with mom and my human boy. I'm inseperable with my boy. We've been together since I was a kitten and he was four. He and mom played Super Smash Brothers on the Wii. Mom is getting good, she placed second and had some knock-outs playing Kirby as her character. My boy wanted to cook dinner, so he made garlic bread pizza with 2 cheeses, green red & orange sweet peppers, olives, and salomi (on his). It was real good, I nibbled some leftovers when no one was looking. They watched It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown on tv. I got alot of belly rubs from mom today. Jacks tried to cut in on our trio, but I pushed him down. This was my day and it was a wonderful Easter.

My name is Mort

I would like to tell my story. My name is Mortimer, but my loved ones call me Mort. I was named after Cary Grant's character in Arsenic and Old Lace, Mortimer Brewster. As distinguished as my name appears, I am admittedly and eternally clumsy. I fall alot, not graceful like my brother Jacks. I am best friends with Alec, mom's human son, so I suppose we're brothers, too. We share a bedroom, and I spend most of my time in there. I'm old now, so I don't go out much. Alec was 4 years old when I was a baby kitten, and we bonded over a long piece of string. We've been inseperable ever since. I am 12 years old now, with some health problems. I have stomach issues and have to eat canned food now. I went through barium x-rays and a stomach scope, but my stomach is shaped wierd so food sits in there and takes a long time to digest, so I can't eat kibble. I also have bad eyesight so I over/under jump and fall alot. All these peculiarities endear me more to my family. So, this is my life in a nutshell, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.
