Kitten Saturday

Pierro:
mommie says I am a Can-Mat-in-Braining ~ oh boy
I can be her helper when I get big and smart
mom: sweet little Pierro, you are most certainly a Mancat-in-Training *giggles*

Put a grain of boldness
into everything you do.

Frootbat Friday

Princess:

Finally Froootbat Friday.

Pierro is coming out of Blizzie's room with mom's supervision. He came to my very sunny room (with mom hovering) and looked around for quite a while. I decided I did not feel like watching him after a few minutes so I meowed kindly and vacated the area.... I went to mom and dad's room where I have my nice bed.
Mom said I was being really nice. Yeah. He is pretty cute. very quiet but he did not jump on me so he continues to dwell firmly in my very good graces. I think he likes me too. He is very shy. I am not shy so this will be fine. I will help him. He has the most adorabibble meow. What a puff!

Pierro:
Um... Hi *waves* ::runs under the bed in Blizzie's room::

::mom comes over and gets Pierro from under the bed::

I am really happy here my sister is all white Wow she is nice to me and she smells good
::breathes:: She has a nicer room than me I am going to be extra good so I can hang around there with her I love mommie I have a fun dingfeather toy mom calls me Mr.Poopy she dumps poison down my throat twice a day I try to wiggle away but she always wins ::breathing:: ok Bye. ::slinks back into Blizzie's room::

Princess: mom did a silly thing yesterday. (oh meow, I should be telling all of you this on tattle-tail Tuesday) While preparing our foods in separate dishes, she put my vitamins and Cosequin in Pierro's kitten food. As soon as she put the powders in she realized what she did... so she dumped Pierro's kitten foods in with my bland and boring KidneyFunction food, mixed it all up and gave me half. Wow. Yummo. I get the other half later. I love having a little brother!!!
I love having a flaky mom too!
Pierro of course got his kitten food. He is a very good boy. He just better not wrestle with me... or I will give him a whap with my paw!

I hope you have a happy~snappy week-end!
never forget - you are loved by me : vous êtes avez aimé par moi

Whitecat and Wacky Wednesday

Princess:
Happy Wednesday
Yesterday I was napping in mom and dads room and mom brought Pierro to see me.
I meowed at him three times. I did not hiss.
We touched noses.
Pierro was quiet and eager, but curious.
Then she brought him back to his room.
We need to get him completely over this giardia before we get to share stuff and meet.
so far, I have not shown any signs of giardia.

Here he is in his wacky popart fashion!


A very cute awardie
I feel very proud and happy to have this awardie that Ariel's mom made

A person who always helps others, always has a kind word, a person with a heart of gold. Ariel picked ME!!!!
I would like to give this award to everyone!
All of you have been such supportive and amazing friends
You do have hearts of GOLD
Love and purrrs

Most times
it is the detours
that take you
to the paths that bring you
to fulfillment of possibilities.

Mancat Monday ~ Caesar

Princess:
Another Mancat Monday for Caesar my sweet brother.
Caesar was very brave and so trusting.
Mom is always cleaning and vacuuming around here
She never stops!

Caesar was not afraid of the vacuum cleaner.
He actually used to let mommie sometimes vacuum him!!!!
Many times, he would give the vacuum some muzzle rubbies! yes, that is true!

Pierro is getting used to the vacuum cleaner sound.
He has not met the machine face à face however, living in this house.... with mommie cleaning all the time... it won't be long. I think he will grow to love the vacuum just like Caesar!

I will be 17 years old in 10 days!
It was so very nice to see Blizzie this week-end.
She gave me a zillion kisses, she brushed me and sang to me.

I hope you have a delightful day today.

Oh... oh!!!
Look Pierro made it on the front cover of Criz's Magazine!

This is super great! Please go and see his bloggie!!!
Pierro is so proud!

Awardies and Poop

Princess:
I am very pleased and delighted that I received two awardies from
Mickey.

this first one is the make a wish awardie.
I would like to photoshop this awardie but mine is not working
*complete drats* Perhaps I can borrow Christabelle's computer.
I think she has photoshop.
Nevertheless. I would like my wish is to be

All kitties and beans try to live healthy lives.
Stay away from bad habits
(smoking, eating junky foods, setting poor examples for kidbeans)
and develop good habits (exercising and being nice, eating vegetables etc...)


This second awardie I actually received first.
Mickey is a sweet friend. Wowie! *giggles*
It is presented to kitties who do a great job protecting their homes and beans from lizards, rodents, any and all invaders. Mickey said "We are going to pass on this award to our friends Miss Peach and Princess because if anycat deserves their own castle, they certainly do!"
I am just so very honored to have this awardie.
I really could not have done such heroics without all of you, my kittie friends.
and I am talking about invaders of the emotional kind. Losing Caesar invaded our hearts with great sadness. Mom thinks I am a heroic kitty too.
Also, I am not crabby about the invasion of Pierropoopyboy.


In other news.
#1. Pierro is doing well.
#2. The vetlady called this Saturday morning to inform momm that Pierro's poop check came back positive for giardia which is comes often in kittens. Oh joy!: She suggested that BOTH of us take this horrible tasting antibiotic for 8 grueling days (even though I have not been messing around with his litter boxie or touching his toys, mom has been switching our blankies) Mom has been using the same litter scoopie for both of our boxes... so, whateverrrrr. The good thing is I get a few licks of kitten foods every time I get that ghastly liquid medicine.

I will keep you posted.
So far, so good.
Be well, happy Week-end

Love and purrs @-->----

Frootbats

Princess:
Mom left early this morning with Pierro. He was in the prisonbox. He looked very hungry and worried.
Mommie was singing to him, something about going on a fun adventure.
Poor little thing.
jeepers, his ears look like satellite dishes.
They make my ears look minuscule! Well, he doesn't have red veins, so there!
maybe we should have Frootbat Friday and Satellite Dish Saturday....

I am going to have to do something about those whiskers... you know I chewed off all of Caesar's when we were little and his never grew back... much.
It's a fun project.

Mom is going to let me check Pierro's (Blizzie's) room today, just have a sniff around.
I hope all of you have a wonderful Friday and a happy sunny week-end.
Here: rain, lots of rain.
this might be a good week-end to help mom bake cookies.
purrrs and love from moi
always

Ps: I will add an edit to this later today when Pierro returns home post surgery.... poor thing
3:00 PM ::EDIT:: Pierro is out of surgery and he gets to come home at 6:00.
The vetlady said everyone thinks he is sooo cute. He got a lot of attention.
Everyone thinks he is a lot like Caesar - sweet and friendly
9:00 PM uppiedatie:
Pierro is home and he is feeling great, racing around Blizzie's room playing with his toys.
Mom might give him a tiny bit to eat at 10:PM He kept licking his spot 13 so mommie has to put some bitter apple on a q-tip and sort of put it around the incision, but not ON the incision.
It worked!

Let us be grateful to the mirror
for revealing to us
our appearance only.

Look at what Zoolatry made for Pierro

Isn't this pretty?
Thank you Zoolatry for making this to welcome my new little brother.

In other news...
this house smells like poop
headbonkies + purrs~ Princess

A laugh is just like Sunshine!
It freshens all the day :-)

White Cat and WACKY Pierro Wednesday

I love my naturally curly furs

Princess:
Mom has been spending a lot of time with us.
She and dad think it is very important that Pierro and I
get plenty of attention.
we have had very little time to visit bloggies.
So sorry about that.

Pierro will be living in Blizzie's room for at least two weeks.
Maybe next week she will get him in the prison box and put him out in the hall for me to look at him for a minute or two. Also one day I get to sniff around Pierro's room when he is not there.
It is not as if I do not know he is in Blizzie's room. He has a pitifully sweet little meow and he is quite stinky!
I think he eats, poops and plays all day.
Here are some silly pictures. Mommie takes about 80 pictures and throws away 4/5's of them because they are blurry or Pierro is suddenly absent from the picture!!

Mom says he is the sweetest most lovey boy ever
Just like caesar
What a clown!
Look at that stick tail!!!

fighting the blankie monsters
Pierro's ears and nose get very pink when he gets wild.
It is really cute.

wrestling with that naughty purple raccoon
(Caesar's favorite toy too)

silly Pierro

Pierro is going to the vet this Friday morning for his hooha surgery.
He is already 6 months old.
he is also going to get a microchippie.
How many of you have a microchippie??
We are hoping that Blizzie can come home this week-end, just for a shortie visit and a snuggle.
I will try to uppiedate on frootbat friday.

When you ask God
"I will do all of this... but not this"
that is exactly where
He is going to send you

Frootbat Friday

Princess:
I will uppiedate tomorrow or Sunday.
We hit sort of a speed bump... if you know what we mean.
Going a bit too fast sometimes can bring up some emotional difficulties
We will tell you all about it soon.
I love all of you.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

WhitecatS and wordy Wednesday

Princess:
Lookie! I got my prize for being the cutest prettiest girls (Miral and I) in the Red Carpet Buzz!

Well, yes, I am quite proud to be a winner with Miral. She is a sweet friend.

She is very sick now and I am so worried and sad.

I am giving my strongest purrrs for her!

Thank you to all of you for voting for us!

about the kit-ten boys.

first of all. Mommie never really thought about getting another kitty because she did not want to break my heart. She found this advertisement in the local paper and she just looked at the webbish site they had provided. Then last week, she emailed the breeder guy and asked about the kits. She thought it would be very fun to go with Blizzie and see them. She figured they would be wild, bitey and crazy...
She discovered that they were very sweet well behaved kittens. Here is the big shock... they LOVE having their nails trimmed!!! wha??
So, mommie and Bliz went home and really thought about these two kits. Caesar would have loved these boys, they are so sweet, just like he was. They do not bite or tear up the house. Mom was surprised to see that the breeders house was not in a complete shambles.
Mom called our vetlady this past Monday to ask a lot of questions. Dr. vetlady thinks it will be a good thing for me to have one kitten but possibly two.
So... we are going to try these boys. The breeder said we could give them back in a week or so if it was not working out, the main consideration being that I am sooo olde. Sometimes you find something special when you are not looking for it.
Mom is going to the breeder guy today.
purrr for us okay....?
We still miss Caesar greatly, but the huge jarring shock has eased somewhat, sort of. Now it is just a lot of sadness going over the beautiful memories. Again, Caesar's passing was such a shock. We were not expecting it. *sigh* we miss Caesarpuppy
Everything was going so well. ....Caesar was a very happy tiger.
His passing was a rude life change for us. Our home is very different now.

Yesterday mom went to the PetSmart to get some kitten supplies and she almost burst out in tears/crying in the store, but she was brave. Mom kept thinking about how Caesar would have loved these gentle boys. That is how she got through the shopping trip.

We will keep you up to date...
and YES, I am The Princess of the House. My sunny room is still only my room, it is the sunniest and the best. In fact the whole house is mine. The kits will be isolated in Blizzie's room until they have been to the vetlady for a thorough check up, lots of squeezing, pinching, poking and putting things in personal places. They will probably cry a lot. haha They are 6 months so we are also looking at "the big snip" very soon as well.
We will do this very slowly. Blizzie won't be home from college for 6 weeks and if she does come home for a week-end... she can sleep in my wonderful paradise room with me!!
Purrr for me.

Here is a funny quote from Jack Handy:

Maybe in order to understand mankind
we have to look at that word itself.
MANKIND

Basically, it's made up of two separate words
"mank" and "ind."
What do these words mean?
It's a mystery and
that's why
so is mankind.

Mancat Monday ~ Caesar our love

Mancats always try to achieve daily maximum sun exposure.

Princess:
Happy Monday Everycat!

I hope all of you behaved yesterday and got to eat ham!
I did!

Big question:
Mom and Blizzie went to a webpage of a superb cornish rex breeder that lives here in No. Va and found that he has two cornish rex 6 month old boys.
Mom and Bliz went and actually met the boys this past Saturday. they are very sweet and not aggressive at all (Primus and Pierro).
They do not bite. One (Pierro) fell asleep on mommie's lap even. Do any of you have any ideas/advice (positive and negative) how that would work with Moi? I will be 17 next month. I am in pretty good health but I do move kind of slowly because my back legs have arthritis. Should/could we do this? or would it be a big mistake??

I love all of you so much
purrrs for a happy day.
Here... *sniff* Blizzie goes back to the compound today... boohoo

It is in Christ that we find out who we are
and what we are living for.

Long before we learned of Christ
and got our hopes up,
He had his eye on us.

Happy Easter

Happy Spring

Happy Happy Everything

Easter says you can put truth in a grave,

Today I learned that Smudge was helped to rainbow bridge.
My purrs and prayers are with Zoe and family
We know this pain. Yesterday was two months for us.
We are sure that Caesar was there to welcome Smudgie

~~Sweet Dreams Smudge~~
Into The West
Lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.
Sleep now, and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.
What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.
Don’t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.

Whitecat Wednesday

Princess~
I will try to visit this evening.
You may click on any of these photos to biggify for your viewing enjoyment!

mom and Blizzie went to gramma and grampa's in Maruhlind

So, I am just going to hang out in my room
with Caesar's special box in the corner of my bed.
Thursday marks two whole months...
toys - check
brush - check
tent - check
sunny patch - check
daddie will be home (working) to serve me when I call

Yesterday dad, mommie and Blizzie went to Washington DC to hang around the art galleries.
Living very near the nation's capital is nice... the beans can drive to see stuff when ever they want... or take the metro.
Here are two pictures of cool things mom saw.
This painting shows the angels coming to get Jesus after he died

this is a puma kitty

This is a beautiful marble carving of Jesus on the cross

this painting is by a guy named Robert (french- pronounce RObair)
Blizzie has to write a long paper for kollig about this painting.

I hope you have the best Wednesday ever

Mancat Monday ~ Caesar

Princess:
Today is another Monday I would like to share with you something new about Caesar.
Do you know of the video with NORA in Pencilvainya? She plays the piano.

Wellll, Caesar has been interested in the piano for a long time.
much Longer than Nora... that is certain :-)
He had his own special way of playing
as he was so interested in what was going on inside.

you can click on any of these picture to biggify

He was very curious about the sounds coming out of the top

This is an old picture of when Caesar was three years old. This was the beginning of Caesar's genuine love and interest in music. This is our olde upright piano... just a few years ago we got a huge flat piano. It is in the special room we are not allowed to play in. We are also not allowed even NEAR the new piano...


Caesar also enjoyed singing along loudly with Christabelle's violin

Yay and yippeeee

She does not have to go back to the kollig compound until after Easter :-)

I am completely thrilled
can I eat the chickies now?

Thank you sweet kittiefriends for loving me and holding me up in your purrs
I feel your support and presence every day
This house still has so many reminders and memories of Caesar
It is really hard work to go on with out him.
We are trying

When you look at your life,

Today is White Cat Wednesday

Princess:
I am so glad I am all white.
I love being all white! -- and PINK

If you click to biggify this picture of me... you can see me in... almost life size cutieness!!!


I have a lot of awardies that were given to me. Caesar would have been so happy and proud to have them too. When we got awardies, he used to run up and down the stairs and say mao mao mao mao mao mao mao mao mao ...just like Caesar's muzzletwin: MaoMao.
I will display these awardies and then you need to tell me if you also awarded one of these to me. I think I have it all straight, but mommie has not been helpful

^This awardie I received from Stormiekins
Stormie is a very brave and sweet friend. I feel so blessed to have her as a model of winning attitude.
I will always treasure this awardie!


^Arthur gave everyone this award! I am a deep sleeper so I love this.
What a sweet picture of Arthur in all of his glorious whiteness!


^I am so honored to receive this awardie from sooo many friends: Diamond, Chen and Ollie and karl and Ruis!
Thank you for thinking of me - and Caesar, I believe, completely deserves this awardie as he was such a devoted and very caring mancat to mommie...


^I got this very lovely You Make My Day award!
Ummmm.... I can not remember who gave this to me... I am very *:embarrassed:* about this.
I am just so thrilled to know that I can make somecat's day.

I got this Toadally Awesome awardie from Mickey!
This one makes me smile big. I am proud to have it from Mickey.
He is a super nice kittyboy


and Lastly, this one from Stormie
I feel really honored to be thought of as "Excellent"


Thank you for these awardies. I am terribly sorry it took me a month and a half to get them displayed and acknowledged. I completely appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness.

Thank you for your support and prayers! I can hardly believe it has been almost two months since Caesar left us! (eight more days will be two months)
Next month on the 15th of April I will turn 17 years old -- all by myself.
I just do not have it in me to have a big party. I do not think it will be a happy day here as well... just some cake and sadness and lots of pets and kisses from mommie and daddie
This is me, dreaming of touching my brother

Thank you so much for being my friends
I love all of you so much!

Within you I lose myself...
Without you I find myself
