Litter Surfing...I Do NOT Reccomend!

I apparently have a lot to learn...





First of all, I am OK. Second of all, I am now on medication that helps me not want to litter surf. Third of all, what kind of 'rent snaps a photo of this instead of rescuing me from the dilemma I got myself into? And fourth of all, do you have any idea how hard all of the cats laughed at me? I told Daddy if he fed me more treats I would not do this. He is not buying what I am selling...
I am so embarrassed....
Balls and bones,

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...

 

Friday Funny

One of these "tails" is not like the others...

Wordless Wednesday

The Pink Glove Dance

A few months ago Mommy and about 600 other employees particpated in taping a video to raise awareness for breast cancer. The Pink Glove Dance has gained popularity with hospitals across the nation. Our hospital decided to join in to help fight this awful disease. There are no kitties in this video, but you will see one sweet woofie who joined his Mommy (who is a breast cancer survivor - Yay!). We were all very proud that Mommy rocked the pink - I'm not telling you exactly where she is, but I will tell you she was with a big group outside in the hospital's Serenity Garden. Wearing Pink. Ha-Ha!
The local TV station taped the video and edited it for us. Here's what the news said about it...
"It's a light hearted dance video, but the message couldn't be more serious.

Employees and administration of St. Rita's Medical Center gathered for the premiere showing of the new pink glove video. 600 St. Rita's employees and 40 breast cancer survivors are featured in the dance video wearing pink gloves.
The message is about the importance of mammograms and early detection when it comes to breast cancer. The pink glove dance will be used in house at St. Rita's and it will be used in a variety of ways as a marketing and advertising tool about breast cancer awareness, weaving the message throughout the community in an effort to fight breast cancer."

Rock on hospital beans, breast cancer sux!

Parker's Favorite Present

Thanks Santa...

How Hot Is It?

...It's so hot that we all shaved our furs off and sat on the mantle!

HaHaHaHaHa!

Caution!

When stepping into the elevator at work, Mommy saw this.

I wonder where that poor wet kitty went?
