Happy Birthday Pierro!

Pierro:
HOOOOOORAY
Today is my birthday
I am a mancat I am a mancat



Princess:

Today is silly Pierro's birthday.
He is a mancat... finally!
Please join us today and celebrate our wonderful clownboy's first year!
we love him so much!
Here is a long story:
Caesar led us to Pierro in March. Mommie was crying a lot. She was so heartbroken about my littermate brother Caesar going to the bridge on January 20 of this year. she cried and cried and cried and cried. she would not stop crying!! She promised me that she would take care of me now that Caesar was gone. She would make sure I was happy and loved now that I was alone.
Then one day in March, mommie was looking in the newspaper and she saw a tiny advert for cornish rex kittens and there was a website silkywonders.com. She loves looking at cornish rex kittens and she went to the web page and saw the kittens.
The minute she saw Pierro's photo,
she looked at him carefully and fell immediately in love with him

these are photos from Dimitri's webpage ^

Perhaps some of you might remember the the events from this first realization that Caesar continued to be in our lives. Blizzie and mom went to the breederguy's house (Dimitri) and looked at his kittens over spring break. He did not live far from our house. Mom told dad that she just wanted to "go and look". Blizzie and mom met two kittens, Pierro and Primus.
She loved Pierro instantly, but Primus was also really cute.
Both kittens were adorrrrable!
She came home and thought maybe two kittens would be okay... but she was worried about me.
She called the vetlady and the vet lady said no, only one kitten. (because of me, and my age. The vet knows me very well) Well, momie did not listen to those words and brought home two days later, two kittens, Pierro and Primus. Then things started unraveling. Mom started worrying a lot about me and the kittens were very wild and silly. she was worried that I would get trampled (I am 17 and almost 1/2 now) and get very very sad. Mom realized she had make a huge mistake bringing two kittens home.
Well, the next day mom had to bring Primus back. She felt really stupid and impulsive. Mom believes that Caesar led us to Pierro. He knew that mom would be very sad when he went to the bridge. Caesar picked the perfect kitten for mom.
Pierro, when he first came to our house... he was really afraid.

So we have had Pierro in our house for 6 months, if you remember in April, Pierro had his hooha surgery only a week after mom brought him home.

Pierro and Blizzie

Now, Pierro is a very good boy. sometimes he bothers me but mostly he is a very gentle and sweet tiger just like Caesar was. I am sure, Pierro was heaven sent!
Look at this lovely birthday graphic that zoolatry made for us!
WE LOVE IT!


Pierro:

Princess:
Thank you to everycat for being our friends.
we love all of you very very much.

daddy is having his eye surgery this week, so mom will not be around much to help us visit.
also... some gentle purrrs for mommie,
She is going to a new cancer doctor on Friday and she is not looking forward to it.
Usually new a doctor visit means piles of new tests, disgusting!!

Pierro: If you visit the m-cat club guess what?
Ohboy ohboy I am sooo surprised!!!

When I was younger, I could remember anything,
whether it had happened or not;
but my faculties are decaying now
and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any
but the things that never happened.

Frightened Frootbat ~ Flowers ~ biggestgirlbean's Birthday

Princess:
Oh no... no, not me.
Happy Friday

the piano tuner man came over yesterday.
He plays terrible monotonous music.
*click to biggify*

yes, it sounds loud and he clunks his tools
but I was not afraid.
Pierro was frightened out of his wits though

He stayed upstairs in mommies room
He hid in her closet

Here is a pretty sunflower from mom's garden. Isn't it lovely?
We have never seen this color sunflower.
Very Autumn-ish



Today is Christabelle bean's 24th birthday!
Mom claims she had her when she was 13 years old :-P
yeah, right mom....
Cake day, hoooray

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA

1984 seems like only yesterday!

That is almost as much money as

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



Pierro:
Caesar is a mancat that I want to be just like when I get big
He liked to sleep on the peeple chairs


do I look like a mancat yet?


Princess:
I just learned that Pixie, Sweet Pixie went to rainbow bridge. Oh my heart is heavy. so sad my heart is broken.
I know that Caesar was there to take her by the paw. He was such a sweet boy, I know he was there to greet her. Today I am sad.

Pixie was so greatly loved and she had the very best forever home.
I know every day of her life was happy.
I will miss you Pixie


Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.

Snoozing frootbats and jumpy Flowers Friday!

Princess:

Pierro likes to wiggle onto my pink bed and sleep near me.
Most of the time I do not like this.. but if he is still and quiet, I could tolerate him for a while.
I just ignore him.
He likes being near me... I think he believes that some day soon I will want to do some wrestling...


here are some cool jumpy bugs on the happy zinnia's in mom's front garden.

Happy week-end friends
be well

It is easy
to take liberty for granted,

when you have never had it
taken from you.

Whitecat Wednesday

Princess:

I hope you have a delightful Wednesday.

I love you loads, you know I do.
*smooch* and nosebumpies


ps: mom is quite busy in several projects so Pierro and I are suffering and not able to visit as often as we like. ~
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water,
rest,
and air

Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.

What the River Knows

We are
