Mancat Monday ~ Caesar ~+~ Canmat in Braining ~ Pierro



Caesar always took a power nap.
Being a mancat requires regular power naps.


Pierro:
I like to nap It makes me peppy and ready to fight the carpet monsters and the blankie monsters

this ledge is just my size
and mom put the chair here to I don't fall off anymore

Princess:
This was a sad week-end.
An artist friend of mom and dad died last Thursday. that is why no Frootbat Friday last week :-(
She had cancer, but her passing was very unexpected.
She was a great artist and she made this lovely picture with pastels, which hangs in my room.

The title of the painting is Caternizing. We have owned it for almost 20 years.
Now it is a treasure.
Mom and dad went to a celebration of her life at a lovely funeral home in Fairfax, Virginia.
Well, it was quite sad. They had a gathering of all of her art work, and mom brought Caternizing to the gathering to share with the others.

I hope all of you have a wondermous day.
Mom is almost finished painting the deck. It needs a second coat on the floor and rails.

Another big lost... Big hugs to your mommy :(
It's very hardly imagine that a good friend with long time suddenly leave us, I think that must hurt. At least she won't suffer by cancer's pain anymore, she will paint more at the bridge become the beautiful sky color...

I like this napping pose of Caesar, that belly just like Adan's belly~~ that size just exactly the same!!

And your mom is so sweet using chair holds Pierro, he must feel very comfy :)
Big wish to all of you~!!!!! Hoping you have peaceful good week.

hugs to your mommy on the loss of her very talented friend. purring comfort to her.

Pierro is certainly learning how to be a great Mancat like Caesar was. We think Caesar whispers guidance in his ear.
