The humans and fur siblings there are very sad, but be assured, Wally is doing well at the Rainbow Bridge and we gingers are playing and romping happily together, free of our thyroid sickies at last. <br />

May you and your furbabies all be very blessed in return. <br />
<br />
We have these two lovely pictures to add to the blog, the first one created by Ingrid Pipo and Dalton, and the second one is by Alasandra The Cats and Dogs - she posted it on the Tabby Cat website for all the tabbycats there to see. Thank you's to them both. Mom has no photo editing talents other than cropping, so these, and Ann's one, are real treasures. <br />

Simba is on his way, no longer bound by Earthly pains and sickness. He was our very sweet boy. We are very sad but we will be okay.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone who commented on his last post. The comments were a great source of strength for us. I, Mom, tried to write a reply to each comment, and I send my love back to you.<br />
<br />
Hopefully in the future I can keep Simba's memory alive by visiting your blogs and seeing your sweet pets.<br />
<br />
Ann of Zoolatry made this beautiful picture for us. Thank you so so much, Ann.<br />

<br />
It seems I have had a habit of posting on the 3rd of a month! Though not very frequently, lately. I am pretty sure this will be my last ever post. I am 16 1/2 now and my health has been declining. I have had hypothyroidism for quite a while now, and though that has been under good control, some other things have been happening. I have had a few seizures, and now my legs, especially my back legs, don't want to listen very well to the signals they are getting from my brain. Wanna keep this light, so I will tell you that I look pretty funny when I walk. I still purr and give Mom a few whisker tickles, but on the whole my life has become pretty limited. I eat quite well but I have still lost a lot of weight. (Mom has always used the nickname "Bony" for me, even when I was NOT bony, but now the nickname suits me well. ) My litter box and food and water dishes have been moved into the family room so I don't have to go far. I only go out on the deck if Mom carries me.<br />
<br />
A recent picture of me:Yes I can still occasionally do crossed pawsies!<br />

<br />
<br />
It has been a GOOD life. I couldn't have asked for parents to love me any more than mine have. I have had many long and wonderful years enjoying my deck, watching chippies and birdies down below, feeling the breezes, listening to chirps and faraway woofies barking. I have even been buzzed by a hummingbird!In my early years I even got quite frequent chances to go in the real grass and bushes, and sniff all the smells down there. Rusty was my first pal here, and then after he flew away, I was on my own for a while until Audrey came to live with us. Now since Audrey had to fly away too, I have been king of the whole house, MY house, with MY servants. Dad is not going to have much to do anymore, without his trips to Petsmart to get only my favorites, and his twice daily attention to the litterbox.<br />
<br />
So we would all appreciate some purrs as Mom and Dad make the decision to help me to the Rainbow Bridge where I can run and play with all my old pals there, and the kitties from this family who have gone before me. It will probably be in a few days' time. Like a good son, I will await my parents' eventual arrival and then we will cross the bridge, all together.<br />
<br />
Sending you all my best nosekissies and gentle paw pats! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Simba<br />

I have been AWOL for a long time. My humans are paying too much attention to the grandchildren (4 now), hence my blog has fallen into disuse. But I am pretty fine. Almost 16 now! When my humans are traveling I miss them, but my friend Caroline takes care of my needs very well. <br />
<br />
We love this from TICA, the International Cat Association in 2015. Katie Isabella and her Mommy encouraged me to post it after I sent it to them.<br />
<br />
Have fun and Merry Christmas to all.<br />

They were among my very first blogging friends. I know their parents must be missing them both, and Flynn especially, since this leaves them without a kitty to share love with. Run and fly free of sickness dear sweet Flynn. One day we will meet again. Please give Eric some head butts from me too, as well as ALL of our friends who have gone before.<br />

On a happier note, one of the best things about blogging pets is meeting and getting to know bloggers from all over the world. We share a special bond in our love of our animals. Condolences to Jackie and Igor as they miss their dear sweet Flynn, but know that we hope you will continue to blog and tell tales of your travels and your life in Devon. http://www.twodevoncats.blogspot.com<br />

Yes, I know. Long time no see. It is my typist's fault.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, a little while back we had some amazingly warm weather, considering it was February. Mom took some pictures to show how I was enjoying the deck. I do still go out when it is cold, sometimes, but I don't stay very long.<br />
<br />
So here is me peering through the railings at something. She needed to zoom to get this. see below for why). When Mom tried looking through in that position she doesn't get what I must be looking at. A whole lot of pachysandra growing down there, with a rare chance of seeing a chipmunk or squirrel. <br />
<br />

<br />
She was lucky to get that picture because usually if I see her coming out the door with the camera in her hand, this is what happens and it's all over with posing. (different day, different towel from Dad for me to sit on).<br />

It is cold again now, but there is hope once March is over.<br />

Dad offered to let me on the deck this morning and when I saw the snow I backed way up!<br />
<br />
I have been napping a lot in my cozy blankies. Like this (my hibernation pose):<br />

<br />
<br />
And Mom found me two new treats: one is Fortiflora, that was recommended by Katie Isabella and her Mommy (supposed to help my digestion, but I like it 'cause it tastes DEEELICIOUS! ) The other new treat is a whole CANISTER full of Temptations Mixups, that are Catnip Fever flavor. I also highly recommend them. So I do wake up from my hiberation naps to get some fuds.<br />
<br />
I also wake up to sit with Mom at the computer:<br />

<br />
Notice that she had to move the wireless keyboard out of my way so I could get comfy. She does spoil me that way!<br />
<br />
Our Christmas tree is up, Mom has finished the (online) shopping and the Christmas cards, and I am hoping she remembers to blog for me more often. She does go around and read some of my friends' blogs for me, and sometimes lets me comment, but I would like her to step that up too.<br />
<br />
I don't have any festive header or eCard to put out for you all, but our wishes are there just the same: may you all have a wonderful Christmas or Chanukkah, and I hope you get lots of yummy treats, and maybe a little roast beast!Angel Simbahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11074602760368917569noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795115140534285276.post-62760551940961837812016-09-07T09:14:00.001-04:002016-09-07T09:14:57.556-04:00A Good Excuse this Time for My Blogging AbsenceThis time I really DO have a good excuse for my absence. You see, Mom spent most of the summer away helping out her daughter and with "our" new baby. Thus Mom, my typing assistant, was not able to write blog posts for me. So let me introduce her to you: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cuBJujGSsjM/V9ARu2WUfSI/AAAAAAAAGnY/Ju7Yrqn0PE4qT-QHzsOfoPyIamflo62qgCLcB/s1600/IMG_3094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cuBJujGSsjM/V9ARu2WUfSI/AAAAAAAAGnY/Ju7Yrqn0PE4qT-QHzsOfoPyIamflo62qgCLcB/s400/IMG_3094.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I know, it looks like my sister gave birth to a bunny rabbit! Sillies, those are not her own ears! She has quite normal human ears, in fact. <br />
<br />
Her big sister came for a visit her first Christmas, and I do hope I get to meet this little one at Christmas time as well, or near then. I like babies! They smell good and they don't move fast. Mom says this one is very opinionated, issuing little noises all the time. I guess she will be a great talker like her big sister.

Some of you who have pawrents who went to Blogpaws know what it is like - we really do need our assistants to enable us to post. These thumbless paws just don't quite do the trick with the keyboard.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my humans have been doing some traveling - not anything too elaborate or romantic like a Rhine River Cruise or anything, but two weeks here, 4 days there - it all helps to detract from the more important task of blogging. I wish my assistant scheduled posts in advance like some other creative cat Moms and Dads do, but no such luck. <br />
<br />
Anyway, here are a few pictures of me, just so you do not forget what I look like!<br />
<br />
First the sleepy shot:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VcfwF-vOuzE/V3M1gJDZ2LI/AAAAAAAAGnA/vKPLTJGpIo0dETNAEFNTeC9dk4e39KA7gCLcB/s1600/IMG_2385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VcfwF-vOuzE/V3M1gJDZ2LI/AAAAAAAAGnA/vKPLTJGpIo0dETNAEFNTeC9dk4e39KA7gCLcB/s400/IMG_2385.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then the casual crossed-pawsies one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4PKqc1dAACU/V3M1gOjBXzI/AAAAAAAAGm8/un7V1SkVVYE0jvjxKmvyOkdpfulyXBDJwCLcB/s1600/IMG_2386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4PKqc1dAACU/V3M1gOjBXzI/AAAAAAAAGm8/un7V1SkVVYE0jvjxKmvyOkdpfulyXBDJwCLcB/s400/IMG_2386.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
And finally the left-hind-leg-dangling-off-the desk shot:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mHJZD9MSRq4/V3M1gcrej4I/AAAAAAAAGnE/DWgUvZBcWqY6vdePwQYFsXVfCYeauI3LQCLcB/s1600/IMG_2664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mHJZD9MSRq4/V3M1gcrej4I/AAAAAAAAGnE/DWgUvZBcWqY6vdePwQYFsXVfCYeauI3LQCLcB/s400/IMG_2664.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

He was one of my very first blogging friends. I know I will meet you again, at the Bridge, William. Meantime, run and play like a kitten and feel free and healthy again. I bet you will be so glad to see Russell, Gracie, Olivia and Eddie again. And please say hi to Audrey, The Admiral, Flossie, Sparkle, Annie, Stella, Eric, Nerissa, Elliot, Forrest, Ande and ALL the many of our good friends who are there. Hugs and purrs for you dear Mom.<br />

Wishing all a very Happy Easter and those in the Northern Hemisphere a very Happy Spring. Though it is coolish here today, there are some hints of Spring outside, so we know it is trying really hard to arrive. Thanks to Ann of Zoolatry for the lovely graphic because I am so not artistic!<br />
<br />
This is the most recent picture of me - I was lying next to the big glass doors, glancing sideways from time to time to check out the little birds and squirrels and such.<br />

I know i have not blogged in more than a month. Well, part of the problem was that the humans went off to visit BOTH grandchildren in two different cities! Fortunately I was left in the care of my girlfriend Julie, who takes very good care of me. Although I sure have been sticky like velcro to Mom since they got back. <br />
<br />
Now when they were on their travels they had the pleasure and honor of meeting up with Katie Isabella's Mommy for lunch and then got to go back to her lovely home and meet Katie herself! If I were not so fond of Katie I would be jealous, but look at this gorgeous girl and her sleek, black, shiny fur! And that adorbs half moustache. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7fkJB89EXHo/Vuxsg3dKFJI/AAAAAAAAGlU/ZrklZve8xWgM0afxi0KXPulvW2w8gjEnA/s1600/IMG_2056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7fkJB89EXHo/Vuxsg3dKFJI/AAAAAAAAGlU/ZrklZve8xWgM0afxi0KXPulvW2w8gjEnA/s400/IMG_2056.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Now considering the historical opportunity that my Mom had to photograph Katie, I cannot believe she chopped off her lovely tail. So here is the NEXT picture she took:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SqDmjrE1nto/Vuxsgi195oI/AAAAAAAAGlM/Ht0PT6XlekkIm6SYs6IigMjaxaVlC_6Qw/s1600/IMG_2057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SqDmjrE1nto/Vuxsgi195oI/AAAAAAAAGlM/Ht0PT6XlekkIm6SYs6IigMjaxaVlC_6Qw/s400/IMG_2057.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Incredible fail! Face chopped off, tail chopped off!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now her final try: not really in focus. But at least the whole kitty is there. Look at that fabulous tuxie bib!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mom whispered to me that she just wanted to scoop up Katie and bring her home. And then when they were visiting my human sister's family, she also wanted to scoop up their Lucy and bring HER home! Fortunately for me, no cats came home with them this time. Though I would love some VISITS from those two ladycats. Fire up those tunnels and Esses!</div>

I haven't posted in about a month, due to the fact that Mom always likes for me to have a picture, and all she could get of me were sleeping pictures! And I posted THREE of those last time.<br />
<br />
Well, she managed to catch me awake, but before I stood up due to seeing the camera. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YQPfz8Euh4s/VsDveHzWn-I/AAAAAAAAGk8/UHYw8BieL2k/s1600/IMG_2049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YQPfz8Euh4s/VsDveHzWn-I/AAAAAAAAGk8/UHYw8BieL2k/s400/IMG_2049.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
She thinks I am seeing the strap and want to play with it when I do that. <br />
<br />
My whole family is closed in our family room today with a space heater because it is SO cold that our furnace just cannot keep up to make the whole house warm. It was -2 degrees F this morning outside! I am loving the coziness and sleeping again - dictating this post from my dreams. I thought the groundhog DIDN'T see his shadow!<br />
<br />
Love to you all, and your purrsons, today especially.Angel Simbahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11074602760368917569noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795115140534285276.post-67068839475363729222016-01-14T09:55:00.003-05:002016-01-14T10:20:36.175-05:00Happy JanuaryI wonder if I should even show my face, after such an extended absence. Well, the truth is, the humans were away visiting my human sister and her family for 9 days. They said it was really fun being with the little granddaughter over Christmas. But that meant I had to spend Christmas ALL BY MYSELF! Thank Cod for my friend Julie, who came twice a day to give me fuds and pet me and stuff. I do feel Mom could have blogged for me a bit sooner in January!!<br />
<br />
It has been an odd winter so far, right? First it was ridiculously warm for winter. Now it has gotten pretty raw and cold. We have had two MINUTE dustings of snow, but nothing to be able to measure. Dad says maybe he won't ever use the snowblower this winter (that has happened before, even the very first winter after he bought it!) Now this may be all global warming and such, but my humans remember having a ski trip to Vermont scheduled in February 1973 that they canceled because it was just raining in Vermont that winter! (Yes, they ARE that old). <br />
<br />
I have gone out quickly on the deck a little, but mostly I enjoy sleeping on the couch. The main differences are which blankie I choose (they are all there), or which direction I face in! I do like to mix it up a little!<br />

I have been an absent blogger. You all KNOW who is responsible.<br />
<br />
This selfie is to send my wishes for a very happy Holiday Season to you all - Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Winter Solstice! And of course lots of loves to you all!<br />

I hope you get some turkey, even if it comes from a can like mine (I don't do people food except for small bits of cheese and licks of yogurt or ice cream). <br />
<br />
Oh, and I definitely hope you also get a nap, a really nice, long nap! I think I may even have to skip the turkey.<br />

Nothing really bad going on, just my humans were away for 2 1/2 weeks and after they got back, Mom kept delaying and delaying about helping me post, until it got to the point she almost couldn't do it! So this is an attempt to break through that awful procrastination!!<br />
<br />
Later this week or next I will tell you the awful story about my trip to the vet for "Special Grooming" but I am still in too much shock to share that with you today (not really, that was just for dramatic effect).<br />
<br />
Here's a selfie just to prove I am still around. I am joining the Kitties Blue at <a href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/c-j-center-stage-sunday-selfies/">The Cat on My Head </a>today for Sunday Selfies.<br />

Glorious days, blue skies, no wind. I have had some nice sorties out onto the deck (the staining is all done and dry and it is pretty nice). I got this selfie of myself on Friday using the timer - the camera was quite far away so I had to crop it a lot, thus it is a bit blurry. Sorry about that.<br />

As usual my affiliate typist has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING new for me for today. If it were not for this lovely badge from Ann of Zoolatry, I would not be poking my head up at all.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6u2bJ8sErI4/Vf3I23jWDGI/AAAAAAAAGiE/A8PZNwhzVyM/s1600/Talk%2BLike%2BA%2BPirate%2BDay%2B9.19.2015.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6u2bJ8sErI4/Vf3I23jWDGI/AAAAAAAAGiE/A8PZNwhzVyM/s320/Talk%2BLike%2BA%2BPirate%2BDay%2B9.19.2015.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now we were a browsin' through me Simba Blog folder, lookin' fur all things pirate. And we found THIS badge:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now ye must notice that 2011 was the FIFTH Meow Like a Pirate Day. That'll be meanin' that today is the NINTH one! Pets rule the lands and the seas!!<br />
<br />
Doin' some more browsin' through me blog, I found that my typist was more creative back in 2010. This is what I posted then:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ahoy there, Mateys! Captain Simbad here. Aboard my pirate ship the Sea Dragon.<br />

Then we will stash the loot, swab the decks, and batten down the hatches.<br />
<br />
Swig a glass of rum! Ye landlubbers, ye'll find yer sea legs soon.<br />
<br />
Let's haul wind into the sunset. Arrrrr!<br />

I know not every picture comes out just right, but if you don't try, you won't have anything, right? I have been impressed with Summer's selfies where she gets a little off center, then adjusts, then if she still is off center, she adjusts again. She does not give up! She has sticktoitiveness.
<br />
<br />
So here we go: Try # 1:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vNJdrspqdi8/VfXogesAtcI/AAAAAAAAGhM/QNhv1sh42wo/s1600/IMG_0771.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vNJdrspqdi8/VfXogesAtcI/AAAAAAAAGhM/QNhv1sh42wo/s400/IMG_0771.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Picture took too soon - not looking at the camera<br />
<br />
Try # 2:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KwqyOT07GDA/VfXogV5ek4I/AAAAAAAAGhE/TAfz5xXtCTA/s1600/IMG_0772.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KwqyOT07GDA/VfXogV5ek4I/AAAAAAAAGhE/TAfz5xXtCTA/s400/IMG_0772.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Slightly better, but still not good.<br />
<br />
Try #3:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLCQ43aX5cQ/VfXogVYWOXI/AAAAAAAAGhI/YVhry2GdwH0/s1600/IMG_0773.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLCQ43aX5cQ/VfXogVYWOXI/AAAAAAAAGhI/YVhry2GdwH0/s400/IMG_0773.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Hopeless.<br />
<br />
Oh, well, I guess Summer is an award winning kitty for a reason!!!<br />
<br />
I guess I will try again next Sunday. Time for a nap in my ManCat Cave.<br />
