Dis bunny reminded Mom of Angie.  She had da same colors and was all sweet-ums.  No on was allowed to touch da bunnies because of a rabies warning and dat was reely hard because the fur was so soooooft looking!

Till we meet again Miss Cathy

One of our most beloved Cat Blogosphere bloggers and one of the first, if not the first blogger we ever met was Mary Catherine Davis.  She wrote the blog for Beau, the Gentlemen Cat.   Miss Cathy has crossed over the people bridge.  Our hearts are aching, the tears are pouring, and we are rethinking how we deal with people while they are here on this blessed Earth.  Our deepest sympathies go out to Cathy's family and to all who knew and loved her. We'll never forget all the wonderful stories she wrote about Beau, the emails she wrote  to jump in and tell us about something that was going on in the cat blogosphere or to help spread the word about someone who needed help. We'll never forget her and the first Catolympics event! We thought it was the most fun we'd had in a long time.  She brought the cat blogosphere alive for us and helped to get us involved and heal our Mom's heart when she most needed it.   A beautiful soul has passed over.  We love you Miss Cathy and will miss you always.  May we meet over the bridge again some day.  As she always signed her emails "Blessings", and we say it to her as well.  Blessings to you my friend.  We love you.

Thank you to Ann at Zoolatry  for the beautiful graphic for Cathy and Beau.

Fun Friday Chasing Birdies

HOLY COD!  ANGIE CAUGHTED A BIRDIE AN BROT IT IN DA HOWSE (coz owr human left da door open a little...).

Ferst owr Meowmie tried to shoo Angie owtside so da birdie would not get loose.  But guess wot?  Angie wuz haffing none of dat, she tried to hide unner da table to play wif da birdie.  But, wif Mommie pullin on her an trying to get her owtside Angie lost her grip and da birdie gotted loose!  Angie tryed to catch it again, den she came to get me.  I came runnin in (yes I was owtside...) an tried to help.  Ferst, I sniffed Angie's mouf to get da scent.  Den I jumped up on my scratchin pole.  We haf reely high ceilings so I tried to get as close as possible as yoo can see in da picture.  Daddy bean wuz dare wif a pole to try to push da birdie owt da door but da little birdie flew to da upstairs.  I ranned as fast as I could an I CAUGHTED IT!  I caught da birdie too!  But mommie wuz movin reely fast right behind me an she took it right owt of my mouf!  Dis all happened in da lik of an eye.  Next fing yoo know da birdie wuz back owtside.  Mommie let it go and da birdie, minus a few puffy little fevvers, wuz able to fly away.

In case yoo wanted to know, it was a female house Sparrow.  Dey live unner owr roof an haf nests dare so we know we will see dat birdie again.

Thankful Thursday

Yep - I am thankful for all my blogging furriends for praying for me to guide me home after mine 3+ hour tour of da neyberhood.  I swear I heard yoo all calling me.   Den, I ranned all da way home.  I had a little limp when I would ferst start walking but I got all checked out by da beans and I seem to be ok.  I also had a little puffiness under my eye but Mom imagines it wuz becuz I wuz crying coz it was dark and I might haf been lost.   Now yoo all know dat mancats don't cry, rite?  So, what happens in da neyberhood, stays in da neyberhood!  And, I did manij to keep mine collar on too so I wasn't all bad rite?

Well I got dat run owt of mine system cuz I haf not efun been trying to go owtside.  But, I am sitting in front of da patio screen door looking owt for any buggies and stuff.   I do want to 'pologize fur putting all mine furriends frew any worry.  I am xtreemlee fankful for all yur support and to be home.  I lufs yoo all!

~Yurs in howse prizzin, Beau Beau

Pssssst - Mommy won't let me owt fur a while but I know dat I can always get to Daddy bean efun tho he wuz cryin for me.  I am sorry for makin mine Daddy and Mommy cry snots an stuff but I am home sweet home and I will be good if I go owt again.  I swear!

Beau Beau is HOME!

PANIC is over!  That brat is back home.  I swear my husband, Bob, and I almost threw up with worry.  Beau Beau just freaking sauntered up to the back door after his little fun in the night like it was nothing.  Well, if for nothing else, we got a good close look at the neighborhood and everyone is probably wondering who da heck Beau Beau is!
Beau Beau will not be going outside for a while now.   Thank you all for your prayers, I believe that is always what helps.  And, sorry for the panic but we all know how precious our special furkids are.  WE LOVE YOU ALL!

Brenda and Bob


UPDATE:  It looks like something happened to Beau Beau because he is limping a little, plus he is slinking around like he knows he is in big trouble!  We are thinking that maybe he got stuck somewhere and he was probably howling up a storm in someones garage.  Bob did give him stinky goodness because we didn't want to yell at him for coming home.  Beau Beau will be doing some yelling of his own when he realizes he is not getting his outdoor run.

Beau Beau is Missing

Please send your prayers - Beau Beau is missing.  He does go outside but is we always keep an eye on him and make sure he's in before it even gets dark.  It's only been about three hours but this has never happened before.  We've been searching for him and it's already dark. Bob and I have been taking turns looking for him.  He's never been out after dark before in his life.  We will keep you posted but we are freaking out.  Usually we bang on his stinky goodness can and he comes running.  OMG.

Trubble Tuesday

Well kittens, seems like mine trubble did not last long cuz da Dad food man letted me owt alreddy. He let me walk around da house a couple times while he watched me to make sure I didn't take off to find dat Oranj monster. But now Dad is in trubble for un grounding me while mom was away at werk in mew jersey again. While da mommy cat is away da mice will play! Hah!
Da best fing of all is dat mom did find my collar right where she thot it was, at da scene of da Oranj monster attack. Going free da poison ivy one more time was not too much fun for her either but it was worth it to get my pink name tag back.
Wait till we get a picture of da Oranj monster, you will not beleeve how Oranj he is.
Stay tuned.

Mancat in Trubble

Well efurryone I is in trubble.  If dis looks like I am in jail it is furry close to da truth.  Lately a big furry orange introoder has been coming round my house.  He walks by da windows and says nyah nyah nyah and sticks hims butt rite up to da window - I swear!  He must gets to stay owt all nite while me an Angie has a 8PM curfew in da Summer so I has to jus look out at him.

So, he has been lookin in at me for a while now, and den today I wuz owtside an Mom wuz bizzy on da puter (not bloggin as yoo can see by da sorry amount of posts lately)... an I decided to go find dat orange monster.  I found him way in da next street in da house behind my yard.    Well me and da orange monster wuz in da middle of fistda cuffs when da Mom comes running like a loonatik frew da marsh and da poison ivy an all dat fun stuff to break up owr fight.  I guess she knows what I sound like even miles away cuz I gots such a big mouf!   So da orange boy goes runnin away, and I knows dat big Mom is not happy cuz she is yellin louder den I wuz.  

Next fing I know, I get a free ride alla way back to da howse!  I wuz growlin owt my story to her but she didn't want to hear it at all.  I wuz tryin to tell her to go back and get my nice bloo collar wif da pink (for da ladies) heart wif my name on it.  She was not listening, she wuz growling herself.  Now I am grounded for a loooooong time.  I'm tellin yoo, dat orange monster is BIG trubble.

Happy Easter Sunday

I think of the garden after the rain;
And hope to my heart comes singing,
At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,
And the Easter bells be ringing!  ~Edna Dean Proctor, "Easter Bells"

Happy Easter to efurryone celebrating today.  Da beans may not be haffing ham, so we am going to eat more  stinky goodness instead.  If'n yoo has any xtra ham can yoo send it my way?  I did get to eat some yummy ham pie yesterday so I am happy wif dat.  Mom looooves ham pie, pizza gain, whatever yoo wants to call it.  It's ham and eggs and cheese and some other meats dependin' what da fambly favrit food is.

Wordy Wednesday - Mousies Galore!

We have been up to a lot in da last two days.  Ferst, when da Dad man came home da ofur day, he was reely surprised cuz we were not at da door drooling for food as yoosual.   He was worried and came lookin for us.  What he saw next was me, Beau Beau, runnin like a bandit across da downstairs floor a squillion miles an hour, Angie chasing rite behind.  'Acept dis time we were not chasin each ofur.  We wuz doin' da mousie dance.  Da mousie dance is what owr Dad caught da last act of.  He wuz not sure what dat furry grey fing was at ferst but he found owt soon enuf.  And to owr dismay, he tooked dat half dedded mousie owtside.  He felt bad for dat mousie but we wanted to play wif him some more.  And geez, he jus tossed him in da bushes!

Dat wuz day one wif da now dedded mousie.  We kep on da lookowt for more mousies.  When Mom got up in da mornin we wuz no where to be found.  She figgered dat we wuz on mousie patrol again.  No mousies in da mornin' but when she finally gotted home after a nasty day she had at werk I brotted her a nice present of fresh mousie.  

Hmmm, wonner if dare are any more mousies in da housie?  We finks we might haf to start bringing in da bacon mousies to support da howsehold wif da way da beans are finking bout dare jobbies. Jus sayin'. "Squeeeeeeek!" oops - gotta go to werk now!

Kitch-hen Air-o-bics Lesson

Kitch-hen Air-O-Bics lesson 1:

First, yoo hafs to haf da shiney kind of counters - either gran-it or da kind dat looks like gran-it - mostly da kind dats shiney.  Next yoo has to get yur human to turn on da water (some of us likes to drink da water but mostly we still needs da humans to turn it on).  Den yoo gets da human to wash da shiney stuff.  Note: Yoo can see dare is a lot of human innner akshun here but it is necessary.
Next yoo takes a runnin leap onto da wet, shiney, counter .  What happens next dee-pens on yur kitch-hen.
We must gibs yoo a warning tho, cuz if yoo slides da wrong way yoo can go head ferst into da wall.  Dis may be 'acitin for some or a headake for others.  Da Air-O-Bics part is if yoo do dis on yur kitch-hen island.  Dis is a two-part man-oover.  1) Yoo slides reely reely fas, den yoo get an Air-o-bics akshun on part two.
Hafs fun wif dis game but stay safe!
