Look Ma, I can fly!

Thankful Thursday

This Thursday I am thankful for a nice house to sleep in. I'm thankful that I've got shelter here at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Being here, I know that I am protected and loved by not only my mom but also by them.

Unfortunately, not all anipals have this luxury and are out there alone and scared or they are in shelters waiting to be adopted and given a furrever home! Please consider helping those in need. Your kindness towards them will mean everything to them! 

Here are several ways that you can help anipals! 

Wordless Wednesday

Yesterday I supervised mom with the laundry by sitting in the basket.

(She was trying something new with the picassa image editor) 

Thankful Thursday: Kreativ Style

I received this pretty blog award from my pals @germanshorthair aka Daisy, Gretchen, and Banjo. Have you seen their blog? If not go check it out! I'm very honored to receive this award from them. Thank you!!

Now for the hard part ok well one of the hard parts. I'm suppose to tell 10 things about myself you might not know. *thinking ears*

Well, here they are in no particular order!

My first mom carried me in her smock pocket while she worked at the vet. I was to little to eat on my own and so she fed me from a bottle until I was big enough to eat on my own!

I don't know when my birthday is . My gotcha day for the mom I have now is November 1, 2010.

I'm not so fond of human males probably because it was a male human who dumped me at the vet office where my first mom worked and said "take this, I don't want it anymore" at least that's what my mom now was told. (How could anybody not want me, I'm adorable!)

At the old house I would drink water from the bath faucet. I rarely drank from my bowl. If I had to I would drink from the dogs water bowl. I don't do this now at Grandparents house. My mom set down a plastic bowl and I drink from it and dunk my paws in to watch the water move!

Mom has a lot of different toys for me but my favorite are always the red cat nip balls.

Storms scare me so much that I hide under the bed until they are gone. I don't like the loud noises that come with them. (Don't think any of us do.)

I've never been outside! Mom says that its safer for me that way. Just once I'd like to feel the breeze in my fur though.

My mom once brought home a package of beef jerky. To her surprise I took a small piece and ate it. It's not done very often because she knows that the sodium is not good for her or for me!

I like to race through the house at the wee hours of the morning usually at around 3:00-3:30 am. This is every day and I am told I sound like a herd of elephants! 

I don't like being left alone. I have a fear of being abandoned. If mom leaves I always watch to make sure she comes back. I know she won't leave me behind but you never know what will happen!

Whew wee.. That was a bit exhausting coming up with just ten things.. 

Now the hard hard part. I'm suppose to give this to six blogs.

So I think I've figured it out..

The six blogs I'm giving this award to are as follows:

Truman

Biggie

Pandora

Pepper

Herman

Nike 

Wordless Wednesday

Hark! Who goes there?

We just chillin'

Mom thinks Linus isn't feeling so good. He threw up last night. Poor guy. He been inside all today so far. Usually he be out exploring. I hope he feel better! He a nice kity.

I have claimed my throne!

It's really comfy on this spot! I jumped onto it a couple days ago and fell asleep. Grandma even wrote mom a note letting her know about it because Mom was working at the time. Yeah, I love the chair. I'll let you sit in it if you ask nicely.

Thankful Thursday

Today I have decided that Thursday is going to be forevermore "Thankful" Thursday.

On my first Thankful Thursday I want to say I am Thankful for my anipals but especially thankful for Truman (@tweetingtruman)  and Biggie (@biggiefudgecakes). They have been the two most supportive pals of me and mom in this transition period.

To Truman and to Biggie I say thank you! Don't know what I'd be doing without you two.

Candle Tonight

Candles flame burning bright

Flickering into the darkest night

May they bring clarity of sight.

So many are going through life

Struggling and full of strife.

The flames that burn tonight

May they bring a turn to all who see

Peace and harmony is the way to be.

Unkind words and unkind thoughts

Bring things that are not sought

Eventually those that do will be caught

And lessons they will be taught.

For that is what life is all about.

As tonight the flames burn bright

For those that need peace, comfort, 

to make things right

Say a prayer, give a chance, 

do not hesitate and be afraid of the cirumstance. 

Do what is right and gaze upon 

the candle flames that burn tonight.

Four Days Later

It been four whole days since we moved to Grandparents house. Four days! Do you know how long four days is for a kitty? That is a long time for sure. I lost count number of hours that be because I not have enough paws. MOL!

I doing okay at house now I settling in. There is lot of windows to look out of. Mom got my perch in her bedroom window. It a good spot. Another good spot though is the three windows in the kitchen. Can move window to window to window! It so pawsome. Look, see there is the windows in the kitchens

and here's my perch in moms room.

She not sure why I wasn't laying in it when picture was taken! 

I also get one can of noms in the morning. I never eat soft foods before I come to grandparents house but it pretty good! I especially like the tuna flavors and the fishy flavors. See, like this one! Grandma started it. She feed it to Linus and he wasn't it so I eat it then she told mom. Mom not mind. After all, Grandma allowed to do what she want! That why she a Grandma. Also, I has not thrown up at all while I been inside this house. That make mom and I both happy!

I'm not hiding as much under the bed only when there be loud noises but only for short amounts of time!

Linus and I still working on being pals. This is Linus. He spend most of his time outside. We be hissy at each other right now but not a lot of hissy. Everyone say we work it out! I think eventually we gunna be friends. I not know much about him. He was mom brother cat with first marriage. He move back home with Linus after needing place to stay kind of like mom and me! Linus stay and her brother left.

That all for now!

Love pals. xx

First Day

Mom moved me yesterday from the old house to the new house. The new house isn't a new house to her. It's the one she grew up in. I'm not so sure of the place but its only been one night and part of the day. I guess I should start at the beginning of yesterday.

Mom packed up the car pretty early with a lot of things except me. Guess she wanted to save the best for last! It took her forever to get things sorted at the new house. Unpacking her things and putting them away, ok, that didn't take to long. The ceiling fan she says is what took the longest. Eventually, she came back for me. I knew something was up when she got out the carrier. I hate the carrier but who doesn't?

She already had my things in the car ready to go. It was my turn. I struggled a lot to get into the carrier. I wasn't going in, no no you can't make me. Oh shoot, there I am in it.

This was before we left. We were in the car and she stuck her finger into it let me know it was all be okay. We started out okay then she realized she forgot the hangers so had to do a turn around. Drove back, got the hangers, pulled out, couldn't remember if the door was locked. Turned around again, came back, checked and the door was locked. Finally, we were off!

Mom told me I wouldn't be in the carrier long as we drove down the road. Let me tell you, that was a lot of road to be driving. It seemed forever and forever and then something embarrassing happened! I threw up. I didn't mean to throw up, it just kind of happened.

We were almost there anyway and had about ten more minutes to go. Mom didn't want to keep me in the carrier after that because of the throw up. She didn't think it was fair to me. She opened it and I climbed out stepping over the throw up and sat on her lap. I looked out the window. Finally, we got to her parents house. She held me and we walked inside. I remember she said "Well, he was in his carrier then he threw up." I was scared. I clung to her and dug my claws into her skin. I left some claw marks. Sorry mom! She put me down on the chair next to Grandpa and he petted me a little. I jumped down and Grandma was on the floor and she petted me too! Then I went and hid underneath the couch. I was scared and it was new.

Mom left me there while she got my things out the car and set me up in her room. It's not so bad in her room. I have my foods and water. I have my toys, scratchy post, and window seat all in here. I did hide though under the bed and the dresser while she was getting things set up.I also got real hot and started hyperventilating. That scared mom real bad. I've never done that before.  It quit after a while.I just had to calm down.

It got dark and the grandparents went to sleep. Mom wasn't tired and I was calmed down. I went to the door and she opened it and we wandered the house. It wasn't so bad at night when it was quiet. I explored while the grandparents slept. then I came back into moms room and hopped onto my cat perch and stared out the window for a while.

It seems okay, I still have to get used to it. Right now, I'm flopped on moms bed comfy and content.

I'm sure I'll have more adventures as the days go by. I still need to talk about Linus too. That'll be another post though.

Love to all pals.
