World Cat Day

The authority on "catness" is the cat.

-David Hawkins

Each of my cats has been an authority on something:

C=character

A=adventure

T=trust

S=sweetness

In loving memory of Doogie (2nd photo) and Inka (3rd photo).

REMEMBRANCE WEEKEND: ANGEL PARADE

You've taught me so much. 

 I've watched how you live,

how you chase after life.

You inspire me to greater things.

...to lay...my sorrow...aside

And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.

Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

In honour of Miss Sweet Praline, there is a party in Remembrance of  all the Furry Angels at FLOOF AND FUR

Thankful Thursday...on Friday

My Human says all of her felines have had very distinctive walks.  None of us has "sounded" like the other.  She could always tell who would appear in the room by the sound of their walk, except for "Girlfriend" who would appear like magic, silently. 

So, my Human is thankful for:

Doogie's Hop
(Doogie only had one back leg so she could hear his hippity-hop)

 Girlfriend's Gracefulness
(She was so light on her feet and walked silently)

Clooney's Strut

(She says I walk with a lot of purpose and swag and sound like a herd of little elephants)



Neytiri's "Ragdoll Shuffle"

(She drags her little feet and you can hear her "hairy" paws)

IN LOVING MEMORY OF DOOGIE HOWSER PhD
(1991-2006)
Now gather around felines, this is Cloon with a little Christmas Eve message and story. This is a special evening as it marks the 3rd Anniversary of the passing of Doogie, my Human's first ever feline. Theese guy was quite something I'm told. It was before my time, but his story is legendary. Doogie was strong-willed, independent and full of soul. He survived a 10 story jump from an apartment window when he was only 8 months old. (Someone was pet sitting him at the time and my Human was not there.) He ended up losing one of his back legs in this incident, but that didn't slow him down. After a few weeks, he learned to walk again with his 3 legs and was still a force to be reckoned with. He had travelled all over the United States and Mexico with my Human and was her main man before I entered the picture. He loved Num-Nums and preferred the Fancy Feast Sliced Turkey Feast, so if he had been at my Num-Nums Taste Test Challenge he would have picked "B" on the ballot. (That's OK, I won't hold it against him - he was "old school".) Doogie loved plants (hence above photo op), bugs, birdies, exploring, looking out windows, gray babe mousies, and most of all he loved my Human. He is now one of my Human's "Guardian Angels" and likes to watch over things.
...Raise a mini glass of cheer to Doogie
and felines continue to be "good girls and boys" this evening as "CLOONEY CLAUS" comes down the chimney tonite. Actually, could you leave the front door unlocked for me, it's a lot easier...and instead of milk and cookies...you know what to do...it's all about the NUM-NUMS...
