from mamma's paws....

!

Yup...Cat days of summer...

I don't know about efurryone else, but i like it. it's nice and hot. all that sunshine on my furs...delicious!!

We have lots of creatures around the yard right now too!! First, there are lots and lots of little neekerbreeker froggies..all different sizes and colors! I don't chase them, but they are rather interesting to watch while i sun myself. Oh! And we have chipmunks!! Ok, i always knew we did, but mom did not. I guess the chippies have decided that our yard is a safe place for them to live and that me and Odinn aren't going to eat them, so they are around alot more out in the open. Well, they may not have to worry overmuch about us, but what about the 2 little girls next door? I KNOW that both of them hunt here. I watch them all the time. Miss Cappie likes to lay on my driveway over the creek (its all dried up now) and wait for the creek chippies to peek their heads out of their holes. And Miss Calli - well, I am not sure where she goes, exactly, but i HAVE seen her heading towards the back yard. I hope she is careful, acuz that is where the coyoteez travel too!

Me and moms dog Lucy are getting to know each other a little bit now. I kind of trust her...but not really. She is LARGE! But she does seem to be respectful, and doesn't get too close. I guess I'll see how it goes. Mom hopes that we work things out so then maybe i will come hang out with her more. Now Odinn - I put him in his place every time i see him. Need to remind him that this is MY HOUSE! He must respect my Athoritay, as Eric Cartmen says!

Ooo, getting close to suppertime here...wonder what mom is making????

Haven for the Economically Challenged

Well...mom is now unemployed. Yup. She is freaking out a bit...and now a good friend of hers just lost her job too. Mom got to thinking maybe there is something all of us catsters with financial difficulty can do for each other. And we know that the difficulties just don't come when your pawrents are unemployed. All kinds of things can happen to make things tight. She got on Catster looking for a group that addressed this. She didn't find it, so i talked her into creating one.

Enter.... Haven for the Economically Challenged

(mom doesn't know how to make linkees...sorry! if you can't find it mom will send you an official invite with the linkee)

We have created this site for a few reasons.
First of all Catster is one of mom's happy places. She feels safe and loved and valued here. And in turn she values the experiences and knowledge of others here.
Secondly she is convinced that if we band together (Crazy Cat Ladies and Cat Daddies of the world UNITE!!!) and share our information we can help each other.
Thirdly she knows how alienating it can be to be unemployed. Or employed and just short of cash. Sure everyone understands, but suddenly - where you were once out in the world, now the world has shrunk to the size of your computer. You feel alone. You feel like there is something wrong with you. People understand, but do they REALLY feel you? Emotional support is necessary - even just a place to vent and get the bad juju off your chest. Just let it all hang out. Helping others has the benefit of also helping yourself.
A Fourth - it would be nice to have one place where all the deals and whatnot can be found - rather then having to search all over the innerwebs.

We are hoping that this group will be a big success. She is hoping that we can help to make the load a little lighter, inspire ingenuity, nurture hope and spread the love.

With love and kisses and soft purrs and bright shining hope for the future!!!

the mother of all days!
