HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Those of us here in the Catdom would like to say "Happy Father's Day" to all of the fathers in the world. Sometimes Dad's don't get the recognition that they deserve. Well we would like to say we appreciate Dads. My Dad has been gone for a long time over 20 years, and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. It may just be a fleeting moment or a memory of something from my childhood. So always remember to call your Dad, just to say nothing but, I Love you. Happy Father's Day Dad, I know you watch over me. Happy Cats and grateful daughter.

Jinx, the escapee. Or I spent the Night away.

At my house never assume anything, and I mean anything. Jinx likes the outside, and will try anything to get there. So last weekend I call home when I am on my way from the beautiful north. It was hot and sticky, I figured by the time I got home all I would want was a nice shower, and to be cool. So as I call, my family is like we didn't know we could turn on the air. Duh! And then I get the news. Ah Mom, Jinx got out sometime last night, not sure when, and so did Jezz, but we found her. We looked for Jinx, and just can't find her. So as I am driving, I think great just great. But I remain calm. I tell them that she is under the neighbors house. I am then informed that it had been raining quite a bit at home, and everything was soaked, especially under the neighbors deck. Okay she's still under the house I say, go out bend over and call kitty, kitty. When I get home I go and start calling for her. Nothing. I still know she is under the house. Cat Mom knows. I check again in about 30 minutes after I shower, still nothing, so I just let it be. She has to be hungry, and wet. She will come home. After awhile I think, dumb cat, I'm going to bed soon, and I need her to come home. Once again out the door over to the neighbors, calling here Jinx, come on kitty, kitty. Then I hear her crazed meow, I'm here come get me. She had decided to finally come from under the house. Now if you can imagine a wet muddy long haired cat, well that's what I had before me. So I scoop her up and proceed to the house, thinking I'm going to have to give this cat a bath. Not even a favorite thing to do. I'd rather walk through fire. I get her inside rub some mud off her, put her down, and off she goes to the food and water. Dumb cat. Hope your big adventure was worth it. Happy cat. After thought, my poor family was beside themselves, cause they lost Jinx, all I was thinking, hmm now you know how your Mom feels when I can't find you either. Serves you all right. Parent Logic.

Good Morning.

What a fine day it is. Yes it's a bit foggy, but so what. Thought I would tell you a story about Jeykll. Now we all remember that Jeykll is a large black cat. His nickname is Mr. Pees A lot, sorry buddy. Well for some reason a few months ago he started to sleep on the pillow next to me a night. Heck if I know why. He would wait until I was all settled for the night and just before I turned off the light he would sit on the floor and meow, so I would tell him okay come on up. He would jump on the bed walk over the top of me, nearly crushing me, not really but it felt like it. He would then arrange the pillow with his paws and lay down with his head on the pillow. Just like a tiny human. I have never figured out this behavior, but it is one of the things he does. I am always amazed by the things the cats will do, fix blankets to their liking, sleep in odd positions, chase things only they can see. Sleep on my keyboard while I am typing, Jinx. Race around the house, irate each other. Attack my feet when I make the bed, because someone is always under the bed waiting for a victim. Drop furry mice on the bed, and somehow always find them under the covers. How do they do that anyway. Made bed, mouse under covers. Magic I guess. Well that's all for today. Enjoy your day. Hugs from the Catdom. Happy Cat.

It's been a long time.

It's Saturday June 13. We've been gone a long time. Things to do people to see. The Catdom is doing fine, they are all fat and sassy, Momma Cat included. We have missed checking in with the world everyday, but as I said things to do. Over the last few months we have evolved and grown. I fixed up the house, it is oh so much more cat friendly. Away with the carpet in the living room, Phantom can now throw up cat food without me having to scrub carpeting. Nasty job that is. Mr. Pees a lot and I have come to an understanding. I don't leave my bathmat on the floor after I shower and he doesn't pee on it. Winter was tough on everyone it was so cold, and the cats did have cabin fever along with Momma Cat. We just wanted to throw open the windows so we could hear the birds sing, and take in all the wonderful smells. Hmm Coffee is ready, need coffee. Oh that's good. First cup always makes me smile. That is until a cat comes along and has to investigate the cup and shake a few hairs into it. That would most likely be Jinx, you know she just loves to type. But today no cats. I'm visiting a friend, the house is quite and I am enjoying the peacefulness. Momma Cat just has to get away from the RAT RACE once in awhile. Even though the kitties are in capable hands, and being fed, watered and the litter boxes scooped I do worry about them. They are my furry babies, part of my family. I know when I arrive home tomorrow Jezz, will snub me, Phantom the attention whore will follow me everywhere, Sophia still mostly could care less, Jekyll will look at me and I know he is thinking, really you left me with the bearded one, Jinx, happy girl will just be happy. Well that's all for now, I'm going to enjoy my coffee and the view outside. We have so many new pictures to add so you can see everyone is fine, still have that upload problem, but never fear, it's all good, we will borrow another computer and be back in business. So from the Catdom, Have the BEST DAY. Happy Cats, Happy Momma Cat. Hugs.
