Tuesday Tummy

Mom got a new tummy shot of me that she likes. Actually it has less to do with the tummy than with the way I was covering my eyes while I napped. She thought it was pretty cute. I think she is overly involved with me and how I nap, but she didn't wake me so its OK.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms: Moms of human children, Moms of cat children and Cat Moms of cat children. Mom and I were wondering what to post for Mother's Day until Mom opened the card that I gave her, and decided to show it to you as our post.

Hail to thee, all you Royal Momnesses!

Photo Hunt - Digital

Last summer when my human brother got married, the "gals" went to have manicures and pedicures the day before the wedding. Here are three of the sets of toes ("foot digits"). Oh and of course, these are "digital" photos.

Feed Me Friday

Mom says she is "busy" so a pic and not too many words. This is my pose if they sit down to eat and I would like something too. I am very patient, but obvious. How can they resist?

Tummy Time Thursday

Eat your hearts out, kitties!

I entered this picture in OKCats Tummy contest:

Join the fun and submit your own tummy shots if you haven't already done so. Then after the 7th will be the voting.

Wordless Wednesday

Remembrance Sunday

Today, along with many others, I am remembering all the kitties who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge, especially those I knew well who went this past year. My cousin Flossie, Yuu-Chan, Molly, Inigo, Annie, Maurice and Sweet Praline. Also those my humans had before me: Smudge, Kimi, Belle and Rusty. Also my auntie M's kitties Kimi-2 and Amy. From Mom's childhood, Davy, China-cat and Preebo.

I will have Mom look later today for other pictures of Smudge and Kimi, but here is a picture of Rusty and Belle getting to know each other. The only one of these kitties I ever knew in the fur was Rusty: he lived here when I came to live here and we were pretty good buddies.

Later: Here is a picture of the Abyssinian Kimi when she was young: my humans got her before they had any children. Then when my human sister was just a baby, Kimi had 3 kittens. Here she is with her newborn kitties. She was over a year old, but she looks like a kitten herself! She lived till she was 15 years old.

And here is one of the kittens with the baby a few weeks later!

And finally, here is a picture of Smudge. he was my humans' first pet together and he lived for 15 years. He lived in the most places with them, 2 apartments and 2 houses, and even had to live with the grandparents for a while (where this picture was taken) when he was "evicted" from their apartment. For most of his time with them, they also had Kimi, but for a couple of years he was their only baby.

I have Angel Squillions in honor of Smudge, Kimi, Belle and Rusty on my right hand side bar, as well as one in honor of my cousin Flossie, so we are always reminded of them.

Photo Hunt - Square

I am so late for posting for either Thursday or Friday that I am going to put up my post for tomorrow now. Mom has not been a very good secretary, because she is still recovering from her virus, and also been having to take care of Dad who caught it from her. She has been going to work some days, but it takes a lot out of her. But she is definitely on the mend, as is Dad. We will try to do better with posting.

When I have a chance to be out on the deck, I like to go under one of the small square tables. It seems I like the shade it provides from the sometimes bright light, as well as feeling secure under there. Here is a picture from last summer, when my humans set up a small table inside my Feline Funhouse to try to convince me it was nice. I was happy to go in there, but didn't like it if they zipped the Funhouse closed.

Although we did not have any tornadoes, we did have some pretty strong storms yesterday. (Where my human brother lives they had hail as big as softballs on Wednesday night and tornadoes nearby!)At one point the rain came down so hard for a while that we had a lake in our back yard. And hereabouts we do not need more rain. The rivers are already at flood stage.

Wishing you all a sunny weekend.
