Finally Friday

Sheesh, Mom, can't a fellow have some quiet time? 

ALONE?

Thanks. Turn off the light as you leave.

Well folks, we made it to Friday. For some of us, we had our doubts...

Mom says this should, hopefully, be a quiet weekend for us.

Enjoy yourselves out there, and stay safe.

Little Monroe, Newest Angel

Our furriends over at Random Felines lost their tiny foster orange boy, Monroe, on Tuesday. Please visit them if you can. They are very sad.

We here at The Whiskeratti extend our deepest sympathies for your loss, and also thank you for all the hard work you do with fostering cats and kittens. You bear many burdens doing this work, and on behalf of the feline community, you have our admiration and gratitude (as do all the other foster families out there).

Wordless Wednesday

Mancat Monday - I'M BACK!!!!

I'm glad to be back on MY regularly scheduled day. But we all know how GIRLS are. Gotta keep 'em happy, I guess.

This weekend was pretty eventful. Lots of noise outside - wind and rain. Mom says it was really awful. Leia and I stayed near her most of the time so she wasn't too anxious.

In other news, I'm eating well again. I still don't like having that medication twice a day

but it's working, and that makes Mom very happy. 

She was putting in some serious OT to get me to eat enough.

We hope that everyone out there stays safe and dry and has lots of bottled water (if they need that).

Happy Monday!

Our Caturday Is... Matthew is Being VERY Rude

Mom says people here don't typically park on the lawn. 

But she's grateful for the neighbors who were banging on doors to let us know, 

hey, probably want to move your car!

If you biggify and look at that blue hatchback behind her car, you can see how high the water rose. And that car is about the same height from the ground as Mom's.

PS: It's only 1:54pm here. Many hours of rain left to go.

Finally Friday

Thank you all for coming along with me during my special week. It's been fun! I wanted to finish up the week by adding a few random Me Facts:

1. Mom says I'm a kitten half the time. I can break out with Spontaneous Playing anytime. No toy is safe from me!

2. T-----, I mean, that orange purrson, really is the great love of my life. I will snuggle up with him every chance I get, but he's often cranky about it. So very often I wait till he's sleeping and slip in next to him for some quality time.

3. Mom usually reads for awhile before she goes to sleep. I will come up and lounge on the window desk until she's ready. When she puts her book down, I hop over for some snuggling and purring before I tuck myself into a corner by the headboard.

4. I also come up after she finishes standing under the water to have some Girl Time. I feel it's very impawtant to have a well socialized hoomin, don't you?

5. I'm the brave one in this house. I have a strong startle reflex but I bounce back very fast. If we get a strange happening, I'm the first one down when it's over.

 

We hope everyone has a great Caturday. And that we all stay safe and dry out there.
Mom says there is a cranky storm named Matthew who is being very rude right now.

Very Wordy Wednesday

Today, I'm going to share the Story of Leia. (That's me!).

Almost twelve years ago, Mom needed a companion for... y'know, that orange person I'm not naming because this is MY week... so she went to the Stabby Place because they had a ladykitten who needed adoption. I was on the counter in a small PTU so people could see me. It has taken many years for me to not be traumatized by having to go into a PTU too.

I had just been returned that morning from another home. A lady had taken me but she had other furry folks there; I was so scared I climbed the drapes so I got returned. But it was noisy and crowded! It was awful. But then my REAL Mom chose me, and after I'd been spayed, I moved home. She said he, and I, were just that right age so she wouldn't bring me into the house until after I'd Graduated.

Me in my early days. 

It wasn't so great at first. I got chased under a chair and stayed there for a long time, because SOMEONE was totally jealous. But eventually that all got worked out; this home was much quieter and nicer, and Mom gave me all the space I needed to adapt. I wasn't too sure about her either, then.

A year later.

But now it's great. We're a family, I think Mom is splendifirous - I luff our girl time! - and I am definitely Princess of our household. I dispense nose rubs and head bonks to her on a regular basis, and I luff to sleep on the pillows with her too.

And that is the Story of Leia. Happy Wednesday!
