Directions To Home...

Dear Mommy,
Get on that bridge and head towards my meow. I'm not sure where you are, but you need to come home and give me a smooch and a treat. Now.
Pleaseandthankyou,
Your furry child,
Parker (the perfect one)
ps - can anykitty guess where she is?

Formerly Feral Friday

Today I'm just chillaxin' and waiting for Mommy to get home from her business trip to Montreal. We have a nice long weekend to look forward to with not a lot of plans. She's been very, very busy with her hunting the last few months.
I am glad that the Monkeys are watching out for her in Montreal! Mommy told Daddy that Montreal is a very beautiful place and that it is very progressive and friendly.
That's all well and good, but she needs to come back to good ol' O Hi O and give me a smooch!

Formerly Feral Friday - Hi There!

It has been well over a week since I have been able to check in and say hello! I wanted to just pop on and tell you that I miss all of you very much and that it is going to be at least another 4-5 days till I am able to visit and play again.
A new hard drive for my computer had to be ordered all the way from California and then it has to get installed and blah, blah, blah...geeez Mommy, can't you make things go faster?
"No Parker honey, I can't, I'm sorry..."
Take care everykitty! I feel awful that I have missed so many things. Mommy kind of checks on things for me when she is hunting, but she says that her hunting place is very busy and she has to stay focused on her work. I told you she was no fun!

Thursday 13 Edition 5 - Cat Comebacks

Reasonable Comebacks To Why Every Home Should Have A Cat or 4

1. It is a proven fact we can lower blood pressure by our mere presence.
2. We are the ultimate accessory in home decor.
3. We are easier to care for than a houseplant.
4. We are the "soul" of a home.
5. We don't require an owner's manual or an extended warrenty.
6. We ask very little, but we give a lot.
7. We appreciate the simple things and don't crave expensive toys.
8. Cats know that love IS the answer.
9. We don't care if you wear WalMart or Dior, you always look beautiful to us.
10. Name another living thing that can purr away a worry.
11. We pass no judgements on the world, we just want peace.
12. Cats know that a good nap can be a cure-all for everything.
13. We'll never ask you if you've gained weight, got that raise yet or changed the oil in the car.

Bonus "thing" - We're always ready for a good snuggle!

PeeEss - Hi Mommy! Welcome home! Wanna' snuggle? It's been a sad week and I am ready to cuddle and play with you...and hey, you got any treats in that suitcase? Just wondering...

Mommy here - I'm here for FOUR WHOLE DAYS! Parker & sibs are going to get worn out from the smoochies and snuggles. My heart has been breaking this week for all of our friends who have had such sorrow and sad news. I am going to enjoy the blessings I have in the here and now. I hope you all do the same.

Let the snuggles begin!

Happy Kitty Time!

Is it worth putting up with this?

For This?




Yup! Mommy's coming home!

Wednesday Is For Waiting (Impatiently)

We know Mommy will be home soon

Even Powder is excited

Hurry up Thursday!

30 hours and counting!

Thursday 13 Edition 3 - About My Mommy

In eight days Mommy will be home for a visit. That's a lot of sleeps from now, so to make myself feel closer to Mommy and for her to feel closer to me, here's 13 things about my Mommy.

1. She was VERY allergic to cats and rabbits till she was 19. She always loved cats, but couldn't touch them. One day she got near her friends 3 cats and her throat didn't swell up anymore.
2. She got her first cat very soon after - T-Gray, the first "One Who Came Before."
3. She works in Behavioral Health Care. She is a Social Worker by training and she helps lots of hospitals help sick people by teaching them how to run inpatient units.
4. She travels. A Lot. An awful lot!
5. She and Daddy will be married 9 years next month.
6. She was adopted at 6 weeks old.
7. Both her Mommy and Daddy have passed away, she was an only child.
8. She is originally from the mitten state. Lions and Tigers and Pistons rule!
9. Mommy loves Motown music! Trust me, when she's home it's the Temptations (not the treats!), the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye...well, you get the idea.
10. She makes GREAT egg salad.
11. She was a vegetarian until she was diagnosed with Diabetes 3 years ago. It's very, very hard to be Diabetic AND a vegetarian. She used to say, "I won't eat it if it had a face." She now claims to be the world's guiltiest carnivore.
12. She is addicted to Diet Coke/Coke Zero and CAN tell the difference between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi.
13. She loves me and my siblings and my Daddy very, very much.

Bonus "thing" - If she had it to so all over again, she would have been a vet.

Guess Who Mommy Went to Visit? Bob!

Mommy got to leave her job early on Friday, so she decided to go and love on Bob! He was happy to see her and he chirped and purred and just generally showed off his handsome orange self while Mommy snapped a few photos. Bob decided to give himself a bath and demonstrate some kitty yoga moves and then he got up in her lap for some serious lovin' time. It made Mommy feel better, since she is missin' us so very much. I am over being jealous of Bob 'cause I know Mommy is ours forever and Bob just gets her for visitation. Bob would like everyone to know that he is ready, willing and able to make someone's house a real home. He's ready to pack his kitty bags and go! If you live near Allen County O Hi O, come and get him! Bob's 'da bomb!

Hey! Where'd My Tail Go?!?

Bob, The Definition of Cute!

Wishful Wednesday

Daddy took some photos of my sister Puff enjoying the warm weather. We know that they aren't award winning photos, but Mommy cherishes seeing her babies when she is on the road, so to her, they are priceless. Mommy also said that our family is so lucky to be able to take photos of our family whenever we want when there are families who lost that opportunity yesterday. Our hearts, prayers and purrs go out to the families and friends of the victims of the massacre at Virginia Tech. God's love and mercy be with you all.

Mommy Went Shopping and All I Got Was This Lousy Blog Entry!

Here are some photos from a store that Mommy went to so she could buy some groceries to eat while she was in O Hi O. She told Daddy she caught herself wandering the pet aisles and feeling very lonesome for home and for her kitties!

The man in the backgound thought Mommy was nuts












Lookit' all these toys!
















Litter? You got sad over litter, Mommy?!?














Mommy says she is sufferin' from "felinicus withdrawalus," - yikes!
She says that the only known cure is to go to the local animal shelter in O Hi O and get the orientation to become a volunteer on the weekends.
I say that the cure is to COME HOME NOW MOMMY!
Daddy says she can't do that right now and that he's going to have to do as a surrogate for a while longer, so I guess it's OK for Mommy to go see other kitties so she doesn't die or somethin' from that awful disease she has.
Hopefully this will keep her from looking like a flat-out nut the next time she goes to the store!
