ManCat Monday

Oh ManCat! How come Coco gets to wear a pretty dress for her Thanksgiving holiday photo??

And we get to be...well, Turkeys??

That just goes to show that we are very accommodating ManCats!

Besides, all our friends know Disco looks best nekkid anyway!

Caturday Saturday

Coco and Disco enjoying some sun, while it lasts...

And how pleasurable is a sun bath? Very!

Frootbat Friday

Here's a blast fromt the past, HahaMeow!

This foursome is some of our kittens from back in 2009! Teri called them the "The Flower Children"...Dandelion, Daisy, Buttercup and Clover.

If you ask "How did you get them to sit still for this cute pix"...patience and about a dozen shots that didn't turn out...just like taking family portraits with kids in them, someone is always looking away, have their eyes closed or is making a face!

And just so you can see, that they aren't born with huge Frootbat ears, here's a pix of 3 Cornish Rex kittens at 11 days old, with little Frooty ears!

Thankful Thursday

Teri's thankful she is is working again, and just finished her 2 week training period and got kudos from her supervisor!  She told her that she's been doing really well and that her tech skills are shining through, with great information for their clients and correct, too. She said she appreciates that Teri is on their team!!

We are getting used to her being out day hunting again, but she is still getting used to her 4pm to midnight shift, hence not too much blogging was happening while she was in training. 

MamaKatz, enjoying some sunshine in the garden.

Now that she is on her normal schedule, she's gonna try and get on a regular blogging schedule, too! This week, her days off were taken up with raking leaves, helping a friend with a photo shoot and taking one of the kitties staying at our B & B to the vets for her yearly exam and vaccines.

Last week, we go some very sad news. . . The CatMom of Soc and Spike had a heart attack and passed away suddenly. Teri was very sad all week, because she had been telling Soc and Spike that they would soon be going back to live with their CatMom and now when she looks at them, she feels sorrow at their uncertain future.

Their CatDad was hospitalized recently and it may not be in their best interest to go back home to him right now. . . Teri is so conflicted about what to do, so she will take her time and make a decision with the kitties best interest at heart.

But she knows how important our love and support was after our CatDad died, so she has personal experience to guide her, too. But it will be a difficult decision to ponder for her. 

And on a happier note, Teri has tried many things to deter us from unraveling the toilet paper, even fashioning a little toilet paper protector, hahameow! But on one of the cat groups she is on, she saw this suggestion and it works!

You take a liter plastic bottle, the kind that soda's come in. and you use a box cutter to cut a piece as wide as the toilet paper roll and you make a cut across the width of the circle and slide it over the roll. You take the first few sheets and guide it through the opening and use it without having to take it off the roll!

 So we think that makes for a Thankful Thursday for Teri, even if we don't get to have fun playing with the rolls any more!

Wordless Wednesday

Just in case you think that Coco Couture Cat is the first of our family to wear a wig. . .

This is a Pop Art canvas featuring Nani, who lives on as Teri's avatar from time to time. . .

Nani crossed the Bridge, but is fondly remembered every day when Teri looks at her amazing picture! Sometimes, she wonders what ever happened to the artist that transformed this photo of Nani. . .

Into this!

She thinks maybe he went to the Bridge, too and found Nani there. . .

Here is something she found on the web about him, just click on his name to learn more about him:
