Perfectly Parker - Remembering Our Angel

A year ago today we lost our wonderful, sassy, sweet, fabulous, gorgeous, loving and much loved Parker Pie.

There are no words to describe the hole that Parker's passing left in our hearts. She opened up a whole new world to us with our Cat Blogging friends. She was born a feral and died a much loved, spoiled housekitty. Not a day goes by without us thinking of something that reminds us of her. Ricky Tiki Tavi's meow, an empty (!) food dish, a chewed up toy mousie or the empty spot next to my pillow that was her special spot. If heaven means that you get to meet all of your loved ones when you pass, I look forward to seeing her and getting one of her trademark smoochies. No one gave 'em better.
We love you Parker Pie. We always will.

A Dozen Years...

My 'rents have been married a dozen years today. They are celebrating by taking Diamond Doggie on a walk to raise money for A Lotta' Love Pet Rescue this morning. Ain't that romantic? Oh, then there's dinner and a movie tonight. They really are a cute couple of 'rents. Happy Anniversary!
Smoochies!

Formerly Feral Friday - Not Happy...

Hey kitties. You know what? Next week at this time the 'rents will be over a thousand miles from O Hi O. And me? I will be stuck here with my sibs and a sitter. This sux. Why do they need a vacation? Aren't I a daily vacation? I mean...well...just look at all this cuteness!

Wordy Wednesday - The Good, The Bad and The Awful!

First is the good news. Rudy had a GREAT birthday and wants to say "thanks" to all of you for wishing him a Happy Birthday. You kitties rock! He's a little wiped out from all of the fun.
The bad news is that I have not been able to use my Ham Mick. Some calico keeps her bootie in there all of the time!
The awful. Mommy and Daddy are leaving us for 2 whole days this morning! They are going to Canada for a celebration. Just because it's their 10th wedding anniversary does not mean they get to leave us and have fun without us! Something about "romance" and "their time"...and blah, blah, blah...
The only good part about this is that our sitter is on her way over. She's very nice and Diamond and Rudy and I like her very much. The calico sisters are not as happy about this.
I might not get to visit very much for the rest of the week, but I will get spoiled and I am practicing my pathetic kitty look to get the maximum in Temptations. How am I doing so far?
