Rainbow Bridge Remembrance #CaturdayArt

"I have only slipped away

into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were

to each other, that we are still

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute and unbroken continuity

I am but waiting for you

For an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All Is Well."

-excerpt from poem 'Death Is Nothing At All' (Henry Scott Holland)

 

Approaching the two month mark of the loss of my Clooney, I will acknowledge that it's been a loss that runs very deep and still seems, in part, a bit of a dream.  I want to thank each and every person who left a comment for me as it has been a piece of my healing. When I lost Inka, we were not part of a blogging community and it has touched me that others have shared this particular loss with me.  The cat blogging community holds such a special place in my heart and I am grateful for your support.  Again, thank you.  Gentle purrs to each person who is remembering their beloved(s) today or every day.

Caturday Art

"When you don't know what else to do and things are strangely bizarre, why not ask the Universe to show you something beautiful today?"

CLONING BREAKTHROUGH

Hello there Audience!  I'm here with some breaking news from Headquarters...

Having had all this time on my paws during this period of isolation, I've been sequestered in my Secret Research Laboratory.  And I have made an important scientific discovery that will no doubt change history...

News of my "Cloning Breakthrough" hit the press first thing this morn...

That's right folks, I succeeded in cloning Toilet Paper!  Can you believe it, felines?!  No more shortages from now on!  May our Humans rejoice!  

Happy Spring everyone!

Sunday Selfies Surprise

Hear ye, hear ye Audience!  Read all about it!  Neytiri here with a few big announcements...

Firstly, since it is the Chinese New Year, we want to wish you all a 2020 filled with Joy, Vitality and Abundance (and lots of rats mousies)! 

And most importantly, I wanted to include you all in a Belated Lucky 13 Gotcha Celebration for Clooney.  This Tuesday, January 21 was his 13th Gotcha Day and Ducky and I decided to splurge on a surprise gift for him.  Using the corporate credit card, we commissioned a "Caticature" from a Famous Artiste.

Caticatures By Monte

What do you think Audience?  We think he captured us "purrfectly"! 

And now for a selfie of our Mancat of the Week...Clooney!  We are joining the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop

with our furriends at The Cat On My Head.

Caturday Celebrations With Clooney

Anybody out there?  It's me...The Cloon!  Long time no see!  I have a story to share with you all... 

Earlier this week, I was chillaxin' on the catio, minding my own beeswax when I caught wind of something...

Yep, a little birdie whispered in my ear some news that I took great offense to...

I heard that I had an appointment with the dentist and she was planning to steal one of my prized possessions...

 

This here sensational fang...

Can you believe it felines?  My left fang was about to be stolen!  

 

Realizing that my days of vampire impressions were about to be over, I decided to hire a photographer to capture some purrfessional photos of my prized fangs while I still had them...

While I spent the last few days being waited on hand and foot (or paw and paw) by my Human, My Human was also deep into planning a very special event for today.  She decided to throw me an elegant garden party to try to make up for having my toof stolen.  Today, I am spending my 12th Birthday in style...

Neytiri was busy making the centerpieces for the tables...

I was the official whippy cream tester...nothing like the "good stuff" to cure what ails ya! 

And once again, Neytiri put her Martha Stewart Baking Lessons to good use, making special desserts for the guests...

 

Neytiri was also in charge of the youngest of Clooney Claus's Deers, who has been hanging around Headquarters lately in training for next Catmas Eve...

The baby fawn was getting into position to direct traffic to Headquarters for my Birthday party...

 

This video shows the fawn in action...

 

And a purrfect ending to Caturday night with my own purrsonal fireworks show...

 

Yep, I think the Royal treatment is quite befitting to Yours truly, Mr. George Clooney!  What do you think, Audience?

 

9 Lives of the Num-Num Fund

Hello there Audience, the news has traveled that the 
Num-Num Fund has had 9 Lives...

The Drepung Loseling monks have gathered to commemorate 

our 9 lives...

We have had lots of fun here over this past 9 years...

We have treasured the friendships and camaraderie of the blogging community.  You all have a special place in our hearts...

We wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!  

May you indulge...

in your special treats of choice... 

And may you feel the #love in whatever form it takes...

Kitty kisses from Clooney & Neytiri!!!

GOTCHA DAY KING

Hello there felines, I was officially crowned the Gotcha Day King today...

Neytiri served me salmon and shrimps in bed...

And then Varmit the Marmot had a very special surprise for me...

As it turns out, the hibernating and striking Marmots had been crafting a very special work of art this past year.  They did the big reveal to commemorate my 11th Gotcha Day!  Can you believe it felines?! 
 

To celebrate we are making some special Moscow Mules Meowls for everyone...

Step right up and Neytiri and I will serve you your special bevvy! Let's PAR-TAY!!!

Catmas Rascal Fiasco

Twas Catmas Eve and Clooney Claus's deers came a-knockin'

Headquarters was dark

Definitely not rockin'...

Earlier that day, Mini-Cloon had scheduled a fitting

All the hats were lined up

The niptinis hard-hitting!

  Clooney Claus had zoned-out

He had not been about

Delivering nip mice

To felines naughty and nice.

 What a fiasco

He missed Catmas

That rascal!

Not only that

But he had a secret.

Ducky's relatives

Were all arriving in sequence.

Hoping to sample

Neytiri's holiday baking genius.

 On route to Headquarters

They soon would arrive 

Catmas now gone

Boxing Day would suffice.

We hope you all had

A fabulous Catmas!

Season's Greetings & Happy Holidays to all...

And a New Year filled with magic!

Gotcha Perogies?

Well hello there Audience!  Since we have been MIA for mucho tiempo, we wanted to show you what we've been up to...you can see that we have been busy chillaxin' and catching up on our beauty sleep...

Day or night, no matter...separate or in tandem...

But we will wake to tell you the next chapter in the exciting and continuing saga of Clooneyland and the striking Marmots...

When we last left off, the Marmot Whisperer was sequestered in the Secret Research Laboratory working on a master plan to bring the marmots out of hibernation...

Finally, he was ready to reveal his secret plan...He enlisted the help of Ducky and Mini-Cloon to carry it out...

Perogies!  Yep, you got that right...

The Marmot Whisperer went hard to work making homemade perogies to lure the Marmots out...

Neytiri headed for the patio to survey the backyard of Headquarters...meowing "Gotcha Perogies!"

Carefully she monitored the Marmot status...

Reporting nada, nothing, no Marmots in sight...

Neytiri then came back inside to celebrate another "Gotcha"...

It's her 7th Gotcha Day today!  We are celebrating with a Mexican theme complete with maracas, sombreros, fancy umbrella drinks and a very special dessert...

Neytiri put her Martha Stewart Baking Lessons in play once again and created a Tres Leches Cake...

Hmm, maybe her baking will bring those stubborn Marmots out of hibernation...stay tuned Audience!

Whaddaya mean Cinco de Meow is over and I missed it?

In the meantime, let's PAR-TAY!
