World Cat Day 2012

Oh, dear, World Cat Day has sneaked up on us and we're stumbling around today in a humidity / heat daze, but we'll do a quick post. 

Uh, we're blank.  Four cats and we're blank.  Ah, saved by the World Cat Day graphic.

Oh, World Cat Day is simply a day to celebrate all things cat.  We can do that.  The best way to celebrate?  Sleep on it, have a snack, sleep on it some more, annoy Jan, eat her snack, sleep it off, clear Jan's desk items to the floor, trip Jan .... You get the idea.  It should be a fun day even though the weather is enough to even make the dogs sluggish.

Mom Paula of Twinkletoe Tails lost her mother yesterday.  Paula has written such loving posts the past few days, including My Mom is at Peace..  She and her mother must have had a wonderful relationship  What a blessing to be able to be a comfort for someone you love and to say the things in your heart..

It was an expected and peaceful passing, but losing one's mother is still painful.

And we're still praying for Zoolatry's Poppy Vic. 

Tuesday Ramblings

Hey, it's me, Cyndi.  You do remember me, don't you?  I'm the beautiful kitty, the only female feline now that Cotton is gone. I have a few minutes so will try to type fast to finish this before Jan sits on me so she can use the computer.  (She is absent-minded, you know.)

 We were very surprised to stop by Alasandra, the cats & a dog blog (Scylla, Socks, Artemisia & Fenris) and find we'd received the Thinking of You award from them. 

We're supposed to tell you 7 things we love and think about daily.   Hmmmmm.  In no particular order -

1.  Food.  We love to eat.  Is it time for dinner yet?

2.  Treats.  We seldom get any but we think about them anyway.

3.  Blogging.  We love blogging but Jan doesn't let us do enough of it any more.  Is there an award for being a computer hog?  If there is, Jan should receive it.

4.  Our friends - especially those that are sick and the families of those that leave for the bridge.

5. We woofies love to walk Jan.  Maybe we should get her lost and sneak off so we can use the computer while she's finding her way home. (Yes, we really do think of this and love the idea!)

6. I (Rusty) love to go outside and be king of my doghouse ... um, cathouse.  Please, Jan, open the door!

7. We all love to nap.  In fact, it's time for another one.


We're supposed to give it to 7 bloggers.

Gracie - Percy & Rusty say she should get this for starting the Tabby Cat Club, which they belong to.
Amber deWeenie - She always makes us laugh.
Puddles - She just about makes us laugh puddles.  Not a good thing, since Jan would have to clean up.
Frankie Furter - Mayor of Blogville and personal teacher for his brother Ernie.
Quill - He is young but he caught on to blogging quickly.
Katie Isabella - She stole her mom's broken heart.
Hunny Bunny -Quiet, pretty, understated.

 

Mom Paula of Twinkletoe Tails has become caretaker of her mother, with help from hospice.  Her mother has AML, or Acute Myeloid (or Myelogenous) Leukemia.  Please pray for Mom Paula and her family, as they gather to spend time comforting her mother - and each other.  

The Zoolatry Human, Ann, who has made so many purrs and prayers graphics for others can use yours now.  His Y90 cancer treatment was Monday and he has not done well since. Vic was admitted to ICU yesterday.   We can imagine Ann is stressed and worried.

Our thoughts and hearts are with Ann and Paula.

Mr. Emerson has not posted in months.  We had hoped he would resume blogging, but he has passed away.  We are very sad for his family.  We send them purrs and pawhugs.

Weekend Belly Laugh

Hey, this is Sam.  Remember me?  It's been a while since you've seen my handsome face but it's really me. Excuse me for lying down but we've all been rolling on the floor laughing and we just have to share with you.  

We haven't had time to really enjoy the pet Olympics going on around the blogosphere, so when a friend sent us a video this morning we agreed we just have to share it in the spirit of the competitions. Buddy, Merci and I might not be in competition shape but we can imagine participating.

This dog is a winner!  At something.

Thanks Rumbles & Diego

Wow, it's been a whole week since our last post.  We kept intending to post but our brains just wouldn't engage..  We're not as young as we used to be and this indoor heat / humidity really drains us kitties and woofies.  Jan isn't doing so hot either.  Wait ... that can't be right. Well, you know what we mean.

We Funny Farmer Felines have just posted a new interview at Mousebreath on our New Zealand friends, Rumbles and Diego called Rumbling Ham with Rumblepurr & Diego.  We hope you will go by and read it, then visit their blog and say hello..

We are very thankful for those friends who have participated in an interview (and those who will in the future). You've all been great to work with and we're looking forward to doing many more cat blogger interviews.  (We aren't discriminating against woofies. We love woofies!  It's just that Mousebreath is a kitty magazine.)  . 

We're a day late for Cokie's Thankful Thursday blog hop, but since participants can jump in any time during the week, here we go.

 And speaking of Cokie,  he's doing better but can still use your purrs and pawhugs.
