Looking Both Forward and Back, It's All Good

Destroying the lamp switch in 3, 2, 1,...

Hi guys! Ricky Tiki Tavi here. Life is fun in our little corner of O Hi O! So much to do, so much to learn! I learned what a window is. You cannot jump through it. It's impossible to do no matter how many times I try. But you can have a blast with the lamp cord. It's my new favorite toy. I think I have been given a new name. "No No Ricky". I hope I get to keep my other name. Ricky Tiki Tavi is a lot nicer...

So, what's been going on you ask? Wrestling with Rudy, exploring what's inside the trash cans in the bathrooms and why, oh why I can't get through glass windows? Daddy discovered that he can't fly when he took a 20 foot spill from a ladder a month ago and he's been recovering ever since. Once Mommy got over her heart attack after witnessing Daddy's failed flying attempt, she has been taking care of him. He's a lot better now, but for the first couple of weeks she had to help him with his chores. He sprained his ankle pretty bad and now I have another game - Daddy calls it "let's try and kill Daddy". I call it "I just want to walk where Daddy is walking." Fun times kitties.

Mommy has been working a lot of hours and she was gone all of last week hunting for green papers away from our little corner in O Hi O. She got back on Friday and everyone was pretty happy to see her return.

While she was away, a great thing happened...

 



Bob and his new Mom

Bob was our little shelter's longest resident. Mommy wrote about him 5 years ago here. He came >>>this close<<< to living at our house, but four cats had always been the limit here. So on Thursday a wonderful thing happened. This wonderful lady had lost her kitty and she and her husband wanted a kitty to help heal their heart. Bob was their guy. We are happy to report that he's settled in nicely and loves sleeping with her and his new Daddy. YAY BOB!!! If you check out our little shelter's facebook page you will see what an awesome week it has been.

I have been told by my sibs that there is a very good day coming this week and it involves Turkey! And it means that I get to meet my Mommy's very best pal. Auntie Lois is flying in to meet me and help me celebrate my very first Thanksgiving! I can't wait to meet her and let her spoil me even more than I have already been spoiled. My sibs tell me that she is awesome!

So, I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday and you get lots of treats.

Mommy and Daddy are thinking of sweet Parker Pie and will acknowledge her six month anniversary of going to the Bridge on Saturday. Thanksgiving was one of her favorite days. There will be a special prayer said for her at the Thanksgiving table. She's what our little family was grateful for. I have such big paws to fill.

Anyhow kitties, I love my life here and I am grateful for my family and for all of you that have welcomed me into the cat blogosphere. You rock!

Happy Thanksgiving and remember, the window aways wins...

Parker - I Am Not Being A Pest!

My lookout spot

There's a lot of action in the kitichen today kitties! From the looks and smells of things, I think we are going to have company comin'. Mommy is whipping up all sorts of goodies and try as I might, nothing is landing in my mouth. But don't worry, I am nothing if not persistant. And if it comes to it, we can all work as a team! I think the five of us can take her!
I hope all of you are at least enjoying some good kitchen smells - and hopefully some treats! Oh, and not being called a pest...

I'm Dreamin'...

So...what am I dreaming about?

The man of my dreams!!! Oh...and Tripper too!

The Rudy Report

Salvete kitties, it's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! What a nice weekend we had here at Casa De Parker. Out on the deck with a little vitamin D3, a little 'nip and some leaves to bat around. It was all good! After having no tastes of chili last weekend, we got lucky because the 'rents made some turkey thighs in the hotbox - we all had a taste and I am here to tell you that it was gobble-gobble good!
Mommy has noticed that I am a little more mellow than normal. She also noticed that I feel a little lighter when she picks me up to cuddle. So I guess Karma has come to bite me in the 'tocks and I've got to go and see Dr. Joe. At least that isn't until next weekend. I think I am just fine, I'm 11 and a half, it's time that I relax more and spat less. I show no other troubling symptoms, I still play and scratch the big scratching tree with gusto, but Mommy wants to make certain there isn't something wrong that I'm not telling her about. 'Rents - they worry too much!
Our fireplace is waiting for a new part, so Puff is pining away for it. Our computer is still one breath away from going to the great computer heaven in the sky, and our computer guy still says "wait for this great sale that's coming"! So we can still only post and comment a little bit...
AND as you can see by the photo, Parker is trying to hog in on my time. Some things never change!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here in O Hi O!

Turkey flavored Smoochies to all of you.

We are thankful to have you in our lives!

Wordless Wednesday - Parker's New Loves

Photo Hunt - Birds

...this was easy, here are 2 birds in my freezer. Thursday's dinner!

But the thought of the day is Go Blue!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Siegfried: Most of us here In O Hi O want to wish all of you the most happiest of Thanksgivings.

Roy: Yeah, Most of us...

Yeah, Yeah, whatever, let's get this show on the road Mommy and pop this bird in the oven!
...But truly and sincerely, all of here at Perfectly Parker hope your day is filled with love and laughter and something to be thankful for. We are blessed and are grateful for the many friendships we have made with you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

With many kitty smooches,

My Thoughts On Autumn Weather

You know what kitties? I like cooler weather. I love the radiators being on, I love the fireplace (when I can get near it) and I love the snuggling with the 'rents. The Autumn leaves and colors are beautiful, you can nap and dream about the turkey that will be cooked in the not so distant future. Yup, I like cooler weather. However...
I believe Diamond gives all of you readers my perspective on having it snow so early in the season. (That's right, he's taking a pee-pee!)

Now, on to something warm and wonderful...

Niko and Cloud gave me this - thanks to you cute kittens!

Siena was so kind to think of me and gave me both of these lovely awards!

AND My wonderful pal Huffle was so thoughtful and passed this lovely award on to me!

I would like to pass this on to any kitty who had snow yesterday!

Stay warm and dry today!

If You Listen Closely...

You can't hear political ads on TV anymore!

YAY!
