Rudy Speaks!

Hi Kitties - I just thought I'd let you know how all of us are doing. I guess it's kind of a Rudy Report, but not a formal one.
The 'rents are still pretty sad about Parker Pie. We all do our best to cheer them up and day by day I think it's working. They are lavishing the love on us and who are we to refuse that?
Mommy is working a lot at the big hospital and then again at our little shelter. It's a busy time of year at both places. Today she caught an injured kitten under a porch - the thought of Mommy crawling like a snake under a yukky porch sort of makes me snicker - but I am glad the little guy is safe and sound now...
Many kind people sent green papers to our little shelter in memory of Parker. It made Mommy cry and smile at the same time. Even at the Bridge, Parker will live on, helping homeless kitties. Between you and me, I still miss her as well. She was a good sister, even though I loved to mess with her.
Puff and Powder are doing great and Diamond Doggie is enjoying the sunshine when he gets to go in the backyard. We kitties are enjoying the air conditioning and having the 'rents wait on us hand and paw.
It's a new reality here in our little corner of O Hi O, but we're carving a path to the new and honoring the past.
We hope your June is going great - we were happy to see May go away. Keep those tails held high kitties.
Love,
Rudy

The Return of Parker Pie!

Hi-ya!

I sure did miss everyone. It's been a very interesting few weeks here in O Hi O. Last you guys knew, the 'rents were on their way to a nice vacation at Lake Tahoe, we had our most favoriteist sitter coming to stay with us, we were holding a Happy Carrot Giveaway contest and our laptop seemed to be headed for that great recycle bin in the sky.

Let's start with the fun stuff - the giveaway! I had Mommy go to Random.org and pick a number between 1 and 46. She did as I asked and we came up with a winner - it was comment #8 and I am so pleased that the winner is three cool kitties from Minnie-soda! That's right, it's the Cat's Eye kitties - Theo, Diego-san and Thompson are going to be getting the coolest carrot in the Western hemisphere! That makes me happy because they look like the kind of guys who know how to appreciate a good 'nip carrot!

I think that's enough for today. But I do have a lot to tell you. A whole lot. Some of it is pretty funny, some of it not so much.

Later kitties, oh and here's a few smoochies for the weekend!  Smooch, Smooch Smooch!

ps - Sniffie - we're all praying very hard for you!

She Did Win.

My Dearest Storm,
You did win.
I have such respect for you and your family for fighting this awful disease with grace and dignity. I respect your willingness to share your experience with other kitties and humans. You remained beautiful and thoughtful and humorous throughout all of these trials and tribulations.
I know that your final journey was one that was surrounded in love.
I will miss you being here with us a great deal, but I know that you are going to such a wonderful place and I know my Ones Who Came Before are there to greet you with love.
And, when it is my time, I hope you will greet me as well. Even though we never met in person, I know we will recognize each other.

One last smooch and all of my love to you Stormie.

Godspeed my Furry Fighting Friend...xoxoxox

Easy Like Sunday - Thinking of Friends

Most of you kitties know Storm, The Furry Fighter. Today her Meowmie is running in a race to help fight cancer. I salute her for doing this. Storm is fighting very hard to beat her lymphoma and is having a rough time. I think we should go and send her our love and a few smoochies.
Sometimes love is the very best medicine of all.

For Victor and His Mom

If any of you kitties have not read Shel Silverstein you should. Yesterday Victor and his mom made a reference to him in their post and it struck a chord with Mommy. My Mommy loves his books and has many of them. When Victor's Mom mentioned "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout" Mommy just had to post this poem.

Please biggify for maximum enjoyment!
Just remember kitties, always make certain your beans take the garbage out!

Tattle Tail Tuesday - Bad Judgement

My BooBoo is much better, thank-you!

However Mommy thinks my good judgement about getting up on the table and eating flowers seems to be flawed...
All of us here in O Hi O are praying very hard for Orange Boy and for Storm. If you haven't visited them, please do and leave them some love...

Saturday Caturday - Powder

Powder just wanted to say Hello to everykitty today. She also would like to invite you to enter our Name our Lions Contest. Have a wonderful Saturday and please keep Percy, Smudge, Moki and Lilly Lu in your prayers.

Please Send Purrs and Prayers Now!

Thursday 13 - Things I Have Thought About!

Hey - look at this! Does this mean I am smart?

Isn't that nice?!? Sultanfus and Guy said that my blog made them think! So they passed this award on to me! I am very flattered - thanks to you two wonderful kitties for recognizing me! AND, I get to pass it on to 5 other blogs, ones who make me think! Here's who make me think, Latte (I always think, "gosh, he's cute!"), The Furry Kids, E.G., Tazo and Titus (I wonder if they're really just us, only in Motown), and Tripper, 'cause he makes me wonder what I see in him sometimes...
So anyway, that got me thinking - "what do I think about?" I had to think about that...and...I thought of 13 things I think about! What a coincidence!
When I was a feral kitty I only thought about surviving . I don't think the same way anymore and I am glad that I don't! Sometimes I think about ways to ambush Powder and Puff - that's always good for a kitty chuckle or two. I don't do that very much, 'cause Mommy gets upset when I do it. I like to think about catnip a lot - I think about how excited I get when I hear Mommy shake the catnip tin and then I think about how fun it is to get stoned! Catnip makes me roll around and shake my head and run and squirm and wiggle and attack invisible birds...ahhh...I love it! I hope I never have to go to Detox! All of that catnip thinking made me think of eating! I think about eating a lot! As a matter of fact, I think that eating is my favorite pastime. I really eat as though I am still a feral kitty. I have had an inside home for a very long time, but there is something hardwired into my brain that tells me to eat as though I'll never get another meal. I guess that's just something that makes me me! Oh, here's someone I think about a lot - Daddy! Daddy rocks, he is my world, he is 'da man, he's my hero! He saved my life. When he comes into a room I chirp and give him my special love-eyes! Speaking of things I love to think about, here's another one - I love to think about eating Temptations! I don't think that they have made a flavor that I don't love! I also think quite a bit about the sun! Since we moved to O Hi O i seem to think about the sun more than actually seeing the sun and feeling the sun! It's kind of cloudy here. So another thing I think about is Springtime and I think about how much fun it will be to go out on our deck to enjoy the sun! I think a lot about grooming. Grooming is such an important part of a kitties life. I enjoy keeping a clean machine and while I am thinking about grooming, I also think about how much I enjoy the Furminator and the Zoom Groom when Mommy uses them on my furs! MMMmmmm, heaven! I think that the one thing that I think the most about is the love I feel everyday from my Mommy and Daddy. It's great to have enough to eat, it's wonderful to have fun with catnip, it's lovely to feel the sun on your fur and the fresh air on the deck. It rocks to get enough Temptations to make your tummy plump, and it's a riot to ambush your siblings! Getting groomed feels great and having all of the right tools makes it even nicer, but that love I always dream and think about? Without that love, the rest of it isn't worth a single thought!
That was fun. It's good to be a thinker, I think...

Thursday 13 Edition 4 - Kitty Krushes

'Le Sigh...What's A Girl To Do?

I am at an age where I think about lots of things. I think about what my life is going to be like in O Hi O. I think about when I get to have another treat. I think about the cans of tuna in the cupboard, the toys in my toybox, when I'm going to take my next nap and all of those handsome mancats out there in the blogosphere! Today I have decided to share with you 13 mancats who I think are 'da bomb! Maybe it's time for me to commit to a realtionship with a handsome feline who knows how to treat a nice lady kitty like me. I just don't know! For the record, here are the guys who make my whiskers quiver.
Tripper - no secret here, I have a disturbing attraction to him. He's manic, psychotic, less then truthful, A.D.D., sloppy and harder to nail down than warm jello. But have you seen him? He's a hunka' hunka' tabby with stripes that just won't quit. I get weak in the paws when I see this. There. I said it. Cripes. I have no shame.
Derby is a great guy. He is smart, handsome and knows his way around a suburban household. I love his Fang Shui Fridays. And have you ever looked at a cuter face? Purrrrrrrr!
Dorf at Forty Paws is another tabby that has caught my eye. (My mommy loves him too!) He has a sweet snaggletooth and he's a lap cat with his Paw. What's not to love?
Oscar is one god lookin' orange boy that is as sweet as he is handsome. Now that he is married, I must only gaze from afar. Sigh...
Luxor, well Luxor is so handsome that it almost hurts to look at him. He is nice to his family and he's about the most photogenic kitty on the blogosphere!
Merlin is another tabby with a lot going on! Handsome, a cool big brother to Dobby and very easy on the eyes. He's the whole kitty package!
Pablo has his own fan club! He deserves it too! I dream about what his meow must sound like with a sexy Aussie accent. HooBoy! I get dizzy just thinking about it!
Victor looks like me, so he is very, very, very, very good looking. He spins for treats, tries to get along with his sister and has a great meow! I listen to him on his video over and over again. He's about the sweetest guy on the blogosphere. AND he's a "younger mancat!"
Mr. Hendrix is spoken for, but I still get all squishey when I see his photo. He's a hot lookin' black kitty with an evil alter ego. He and Brandi make a sweet couple! (But he's still smokin'!)
Zeus has a great way with words and I think he has a very nice set of whisker puffs. He makes me laugh, and what girl doesn't find that quite sexy?
Earl Grey - holy cats! Any cat who can play a good game of thundering herd of elephants AND eat plastic and live, now that's a real mancat in my book! Hubba-Hubba Earl!
Here's a twofer - Henry and Clyde. Orange, handsome and cuddle monsters. They really get my heart going pitter patter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is NOT a complete list, it is to be continued. I think there are at least another 13 that make me swoon! Even if I stay unattached, these guys all give me sweet dreams. I am lucky to know them. This was a lot of fun. Now it's time for me to take a nap and dream of all of them! And honestly - have you ever met a mancat who ISN"T good looking? I didn't think so!
Smooches!
