Saturday Caturday

Here is our tree today. You can't see it, but it is VERY, VERY windy today, and some of the drief up leafs have been blown off our tree, but there are still some very stubborn leafs hanging on. This means LC, Iza, and Ayla will not be the winners of the Last Leaf Falls Contest.It is so windy, the Santa and Snowman decorations that usually stand on either side of the front door of this house got blown right over.So I'm staying warm inside and I have a good napping spot.
Mom's gonna clean the house today, and that means the rug-sucking monster will be making an appearance. She's also working of a few Gizzy Quilts...

Finally Friday

Furrkids Mom, there are still leafs on the tree across the street, even though the rain is trying very hard to knock them off. You are not the winners of the Last Leaf Falls Contest.
Mom did a good job yesterday. The turkey she served for dinner was the second turkey she had ever cooked in her entire life. She followed this recipe. She put the turkey in a big pan of water and junk on Wednesday morning, and took it out before it went in the hot-as-hell box yesterday.

Mom cooked "the usual suspects," smashed potatoes, squished squash with maple syrup, buttered brussels sprouts, roasted onions swimming in balsamic vinegar; her red pepper soup, some spicy drunken cranberries, a loaf of her awesome bread and devil-stuffed eggs (I personally do not know anything about a devil.) Mim-may made the meat stuffing. Together they made some awesome gravy. It smelled awesome, tasted great, and everybody had a great time. Today Mom is going to follow my example and spend the day napping and relaxing.

Finally!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mom and I want to wish all our friends in the Blogosphere a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I am very thankful to have my Mom and my (very) big extended fambly. Love, hugs, smootchies and purrs to all of you.
*PS, Frostin, Susan, you did not win the Last Leaf Falls Contest.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Mamacat and the Furry Purries, as you can see, the tree still has leafs, so you will not win the Last Leaf Contest.Mom got a new pair of glasses. She is wicked happy because she can see better with them. My duties as Quality Assurance Inspector are not limited to the quilts she makes. Everything that comes in here needs inspection.
These passed. (Did you know Mom's an eyeglass snob? She really likes neat glasses frames. She isn't a spiffy dresser, but she thinks glasses are like jewelry you wear every day.)

In other news, Mom's being appropriately weird in advance of Turkey Day. The turkey is now taking a bath in a giant pot in the coldbox.

I am so glad I'm a cat.

Tuxie Tuesday

I'm really tired of the tree. It's supposed to DROP leafs, but it still has some.
Cat of Nine Tails and Victoria, that means you have not won the Last Leaf Contest.
I'm taking it easy. The weather is lousy, but Mom isn't complaining. The S-word is nowhere in the weatherman's forecast!

Millie Monday

The leafs are still stuck to the tree. Zoolatry, you guys have not won the Last Leaf Contest.
Mom goes day hunting today after a week of stay-cation. She says she's gonna be wicked busy because she has to hunt the ever elusive Month End before Turkey Day. Then the Turkey Day festivities will be here, and we'll have "Company." Good thing I don't have to do any of that "werk."

Easy Like Sunday Morning

To my furriends, the Furry Bambinos, there are still leafs on the tree, so you did not win the Last Leaf Contest. (If you entered the Last Leaf Contest, and you forgotted what day you picked, look in the sidebar, we have a list...)That tree is being very stubborn. Mom says it is a true New Englander; determined, stubborn and independent.

I am taking it very easy this Sunday. Mom is in the kitchen cooking. The turkey is gonna be dunked and cooked here on Thursday, and she's getting ready.

At least the house -smells- good!

Secret Paw Saturday

That darn tree hasn't lost many leafs, even though we had a downpour of rain yesterday. Nora, Caity & Millie, you will not be the winners of the Last Leaf Falls Contest.If the leafs do NOT fall off the tree before December 16, then Scooby, Shaggy & Scout will be declared the winners.


I have received my Secret Paw match. I am furry excited, and already have Plans!but I'm not telling! I'm keeping this secret!




I just found out SOCKS is home, and will be an indoor kitty from now on... Go CB for purring him home. Now we just have to get Mr Tigger home...

Formerly Feral Friday

When it's a cold, and rainy day, like today, when the leafs on the tree across the street are -still- on the tree, and your friends Derby and Poppy Q have not won the Last Leaf Falls Contest....
It's really good you are a -formerly- feral cat with a good home and a nice warm place to nap.

Thinking Thursday

Here is today's picture of our tree with its stubborn leafs. Rusty and Deb, Boo-bah, you have not won the Last Leaf Falls Contest. Mom says a brisk wind would probably knock those last leafs down, but no such wind is forecast.
When Mom works in the Sewing Room, I love to make her think.This is my bionic leg sticking out from under the bureau. What do you think?


(I think Mr Tigger and Socks should get their furry butts HOME!)

What's Up Wednesday?

Roxy & Lucky; Milo & Alfie, there are still leafs on the tree, so you will not be the winners of the Last Leaf Contest.
What's up with this? That's our tree across the street, but this picture wasn't taken this morning. It was taken a long, long, long time ago. February 2003!

What's so unusual, you ask? Click the picture to biggify. Then look at our tree really closely... What do you see?I see leafs!!!!!!

What's gonna happen if the tree doesn't lose all its leafs by December 16 (the date of the last guess of the Last Leaf Contest)?
When in doubt, wash.

Tuxie Tuesday

Lookit our tree across the street. It doesn't have very many leafs left, but some are still hanging on. Cory & Camie's Kitties, you will not be the winners of the Last Leaf Contest.

Pip-pay's hip surjery went very well, now he is on the road to recovery and we hope it's a short one. Today is the day Mom's metal masheen goes to get fixed.

Mom's got the whole house cleaned except for the Sewing Room and the Table Room. She says the Table Room has stuff in it that has to be moved to the dungeon and that's no big deal. In the sewing room, however...

Hip, Hip, Hoo-ray! Pip-pay is OK!

Hip, hip... Mom sure is funny! Pip-pay's doctors said the surjery would take an hour and a half, if everything went well, and they were exactly right. An hour and a half after he went in, he had his new bionic hip and he was on his way to the recovery room. Everything went according to plan, and Pip-pay's heart was A-O-K during the whole thing. The doctors told Mim-may and Mom to go home and come visit tomorrow, that Pip-pay would be too sleepy to even know they were there.

WELL! Mom brought Mim-may home, and was making dinner when the phone rang, and it was Pip-pay! He said he wasn't feeling any pain at all! He sounded great!

If his bionic hip continues to heal the way it should, he will be moved to a rehab facility on Wednesday or Thursday, and should be home with Mim-may and Missy in time for Turkey Day next week!

I want to thank every cat, kit, woofie, bun & bean who found time to send a purr or prayer in Pip-pay's direction. To all the cats who were kind enough to teleport over and purr with me during the day, you have my most profound thanks.

The Cat Blogosphere Rocks!

Smootchies to all!

Purr-ayers Needed!

My Pip-pay is having surgery today. He needs a new hip, and his heart isn't so good. His doctors are gonna be very careful, but I would appreciate your thoughts and purrs. I really like Pip-pay, and everybody in the family loves him. Mom is gonna be with Mim-may all day. I'm gonna have my purr-er working overtime all day long. Any cats who want to teleport over and purr with me are most welcome.

thanks!

Here's the tree today, for those playing the Last Leaf Contest.Angel & Kirby, you will not be the winners.

Eureka Sunday!

Here's our tree this morning. As you can all see, it still has a lot of leafs. That means Kikkycat and Meemsnyc aren't the winners of the Last Leaf Falls Contest. Sorry. You can click the picture biggify and see the details yourself.

Mom's doing the Happy Dance of Joy! She finished cleaning out the Computer Room. Now she's renamed it "The Office." Here's a little tour...



She went through every box, every shelf, every drawer and every file. Everything got cleaned, dusted and sorted. She filled three more big black bags with shredded paper. She's moved a lot of stuff out to be thrown away. There will be more stuff for the garbage men next week.

Of course, the rest of the house is a complete disaster.
