We are still "here!"

Hi Every Fur!
I think it is apparent that we are having problems keeping up with posting happenings here on Catster. Mam has become enamoured with quilting and making diaper covers for our human baby neighbors. Me 'n Blossom, help her by choosing fabric....we lie on it to let her know our choice. We also dig in the cupboards where she keeps her "stash." She has stacks of projects..... Me, Da 'n Blossom suspect she will never get them done!!

It has been pretty hot here, just like most of the country. I don't go outside much these days. One of my favorite places is Mam's closet. For some reason it seems to be a little cooler than other parts of the house. Me 'n Blossom, we both like to lie on the trundle in Mam's sewing room. There's a ceiling fan in there. The heat doesn't seem to bother Blossie so much. She still spends quite a bit of time on the lanai and on the deck around the pool. She likes to roll around like a dog (yuck!) and let the sun shine on her tummy. She has no class, that one!

*yawn* Time for my midday nap.

Birfday celebration....not.

Last week was my birfday. 'N did anyone care? Noooooooo! At least I do not think so. Friends of Mam 'n Da brought their
d-o-g Cadi over to spend the night 'n help me celebrate. Yeah, right. I ended up spending the whole cat-darn day under Mam's big bed. When Cadi finally went into her crate for the night, I came out to eat. So much for an exciting, wonderful, Ollie-centered day. However, some wonderful furriends did remember my birfday:
I got messages from
Rooster 'n the Clowder
Casey
Angel Sam, Kiki 'n Ember
Gidgit 'n family
I got purresents from
Monida - shamrock
Annie 'n the Junctions gang - shamrock
King Henry - shrimp
Hazel Lucy (remembering her in my heart) - Irish top hat
Calvin-knead-on, aka Cal-Pal - rainbow
Oliver 'n Dewey - shamrock
Mia, Mile, Xena Princess Warrior, QT Angel in Pink, et al - Shrimp
Luke - pink ribbon
family of Ava 4 ever, Andy, Arli, Augie, et al - Shamrock
Oliver Winston Parsons, Mardi Gras Mask
Teebo, Callie 'n Rose - cupcake
Izzie 'n Zoo Gang - balloons
I hope we have remembered everyfur. Mam keeps reminding me that I cannot fire her so I have to put up wif her less than purrfect secretarial skills. *sigh*
Thank you to all of you 'n best wishes for a safe 'n sane Saint Patrick's day. I love you all.

pee-ess
Mam did make up for the lousy birfday the next day wif extra hugs, kissies 'n her 'n me cuddle time. I forgive you Mam. But just a little.

Whoa Dere! It's Been a Long, Long Time!

Hi Everyfur!
I kept telling Mam I needed to write in my diary 'n when she finally listened to me, she was ashamed to see how long it has been since we posted anyfing.

I have been busy. I have many responsibilities 'n I've been supervising many things now that we are here in Florida. Like when Da reads the morning paper, I keep him company by sitting on it. When Mam is working on her quilting or her beading, I lay down right in the middle of her project. When the birds are on the feeding platform, I crouch inside the pool cage on the deck 'n watch them very, very carefully. When Da sits on the sofa to watch TV, I cuddle up next to him and when the sun is out in the morning I like to sit in the screened in porch on the front of the house. That way I can see if anyone is coming to see us. When Blossom leaves food in her dish, I finish it for her. But when the little boys next door come over to swim in the pool, I go under the bed. I do not like splashing water.

I hope you-all have a wunnerful weekend. It's shaping up to be a very nice one here.

Feeling frisky....

I have been feeling very frisky today....for some reason I feel reely reely good 'n I'm letting everyone here know. MOL! I have been giving that little redhead Blossom some doses of her own medicine. Earlier this morning, I hid behind one of my favorite blue plastic shopping bags and waited for her. When she walked by, bam! I jumped out 'n ambushed her. MOL! She flopped up against the wall 'n her hind feet went up in the air 'n the fur on her back stood up 'n the fur on her tail stood out all over. MOL! It was so funny! It was worth the wait to see her like that. MOL! I'm still laughing about it.

Memories of Thanksgiving past

Whew! I sure am happy to be done wif Thanksgiving! The house was full of people having a good time eating, drinking, watching football. There was a lot of giving thanks, I think. I gave thanks that the low slung,slobbery, barkie rascal Riley had to stay home. MOL! I spent most of the day on Mam 'n Da's big bed....different people came to say "Hi" to me. That was nice. I like to see people one at a time. Today has been even better. Me 'n Blossom have been sleeping all day out on the lanai. heheheh! Now we will be up all night. Mam 'n Da, watch out!

Yay! No more diary comments!

Today when I opened the Community Page, the furst thing I saw was that there were no more "diary comment" thingys in our activity posts. Thank goodness! I can understand that someone thought may we would like to know that kind of stuff, but let's face it.....it did make things pretty congested, especially for kitties who like to make comments! Thank you, Catster folks, for listening and adjusting accordingly. It is appreciated.

Grounded!! Well, kinda.....

Some men came today 'n took the screens off our lanai playroom. Then they brought in power washing stuff. I got very stressed at first 'n licked 'n licked 'n licked back by my tail. Mam saw what I was doing 'n distracted me so that I would chill out. We aren't going to have any screens for a few days, probably, so me 'n Blossom are grounded to the house until the new ones go up. Mam says then we will have a lot more room to run around. I guess it is a fair trade-off.

Riley, go home!!

Our dogfur cousin, Riley, is here for the winter. Not here in our house, but here in Florida, just down the road. Well. sometimes he's here. Like yesterday. I was having a really nice siesta on the bed in the guest room 'n that litte low-slung, hairy, noisey, nosey peacock feather chewing dog came rrrrrunning into the house 'n straight for me. He startled me so much that I ran through the house 'n under Mam 'n Da's big bed so fast that mine wittle feets didn't even touch the floor. Mam closed the door so he couldn't get in, but he kept coming to the door 'n making sniffing noises. Riley, go home!!

Oh My Cats.....it's how long until Christmas?

MOL!!! Mam had a reality check today 'n just about had a panic attack. Living here in perpetual summer has thrown off her season clock. She just realized she doesn't have much time to sew a couple of Christmas projects and get them in the mail in time for the holiday. She wants to sew quilts for two of the grandies. This is about all the time she will let us have, so we haf to say "later, furriends!"

Happy Monday......

We had hoomin company this past weekend. This means we couldn't take our afternoon nappies on the bed in the guest room. In the afternoon the sun shines through the curtains and we lie on a bright yellow sheet Mam puts over the bed so our fur doesn't get all over the purrrty comforter that looks like the beach. Today the hoomin company is gone and the yellow sheet is back on the bed. Life is good.
