Sharing the Porch, with Georgia

Georgia: This weekend was pretty sunny and not too hot.

I thought I might go on the porch.

I hoppen up here and thought this would be a good place

to relax and maybe have a snooze.

As you can see, mt sisfur Julie came along.

Now, this shelf is pretty long and there is room for her right beside me.

However, she claims that "this" spot is hers!

I was quite nervous as I thought she might whap me.

She can be a bit of a bully.

I am sure she thought about it and as mum was home, 

decided that she would not start anything.

She moved on.

Oh goody!

Now I can get on with my nap!

JJ: I don't understand those young cats!

I get along with every cat and person.

I just want to be happy and enjoy a good snooze.

Julie is pretty young(8 years) compared to me(20 years).

Georgia is 14 years.

Georgia is a shy,gentle soul and Julie is brash and thinks

mum is hers because mum rescued her.

Oh, someday she will settle down and be nicer to Georgia.

 I just hope my sleeping will not be interrupted.

As you can see, I AM a good cat and I did leave Georgia alone.

Why not pop over to House Panthers

and see more pictures of your fave black cat...me!!

Finally Friday Close Ups

We are happy it is Friday.

It has been a busy week (mostly for mum,she  is

the one complaining)

She was late getting home a few nights and we had

to wait for supper !

Well, it is finally Friday and we are all looking forward

to the weekend,and relaxing together.

For today, we are doing our close ups.

Georgia

JJ

Julie

We purr you all had a good week 

and will be having some FUN this weekend.

Remember, it's all about the FUN !

Early Morning Fun on the Porch

JJ: I just finished my breakfast and now I am on the porch.

I like Sunday because mum is home and she opens the

door for us.

Georgia: That's right JJ. It is early and the sun is shining but the porch

is not hot. Hmmmmmm, mum put something here.

What did mum put there Georgia?

Is that catnip?

JJ, go get your own! This is mine!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I really like catnip!

We also like to hang out here and enjoy a good after

breakfast snooze.

Too bad we can only do it on weekends.

However, we can do an after supper snooze

when mum comes home from work.

Julie: I agree Georgia. 

Too bad we cannot have access to the porch all day.

But that's OK.

There are other places to snooze.

Another place to snooze?
Julie will show you where.

Go and see her at
House Panthers




Our dear friends Pipo and Mr Jack Freckles made
some pawsome pictures for us in honour of
our Gotcha Day.
Thank you also to their Petcretary

Finally Friday with Julie and Critters

Julie: Hi friends.

Are you ready for the weekend?

I am always ready and  this week,mum is really ready.

 She said it was a long week.

I thought weeks were all the same length.

Oh well, let's not try to understand humans!

I am just happy to be looking forward to porch time.

It will be nice and sunny and not quite as hot as it has been.

I will continue to enjoy this couch and relax.

My siblings will no doubt join me.

We saw some interesting critters lately.

Some are scary to humans, so be warned!

Mum was out a while ago and saw Sammy Seagull. 

He was looking for food.  Some person tossed him a morsel

and he caught it.

I bet he has plenty of practise.

Mum found this Garden Snake  in the house.

I did NOT let it in. It got in all by itself.

Mum used  a grabber to put it in the pail then took him

outside and let him go.

I never even got to play with him.

This fellow got in the house too.
Mum was not impressed at all!

This is a Fishing or Wharf Spider.

They are similar to Wolf Spiders.

It may not look like it, but this fellow was not full grown.

The piece of wood is about 4.5 cm (1 3/4 inches).

It was pretty funny watching mum try to use the broom

to get him in the pail. Eventually she prevailed 

after he ran into the bathroom.

A hot week,critters in the house and busy times for mum.

Yup, we are all ready for the weekend and for some

FUN !

We purr you have FUN too !

Georgia Says-Lots Going on at Our Vet's Place

Georgia: Saturday morning mum came and got me  pretty 

early. She said I had to go to the Vet for 9AM.

It was my semi-annual visit.

While I am not crazy about going there, I was pretty relaxed.

The Vet Tech were impressed that I was so calm too.

I got lots of attention,especially from the one in training..

The Vet was pretty happy with me  and said I looked great.

She stole some blood to do a wellness test.

Mum should hear by Monday how I did.

At  lunchtime, mum went back to the Vet alone.

They were having their annual "Open House"

They have raffle baskets and tours of the facility.

They also had a BBQ.

Mum took a picture of the staff. 

My Vet is in the front with the long pants and behind he is her hubby.

He did the BBQ.

The girl in the colourful top is the Tech on  training

experience. She was nice to me.

This is the truck the Vet uses for making house calls

to horses and some other farm  critters.

Those tools look pretty scary! I am glad  that the Vet 

does not use these tools on me.

Those rasps are way to big for my mouth.

They would fit in Vidock's mouth though !

As usual, Julie got lots of porch time.

Go on over and see what she was doing .

She is posting at House Panthers.

Let's Get this Weekend Started!

Julie: I'm ready for the weekend to get started !

How about you?

We all hope you have a pawsome weekend

with lots of FUN !

Julie: Mum Was Away for the Day !

Julie: Well friends, mum was gone all day Saturday and did not

get back until it was very late!

I will cut her some slack as she had a very important 

birthday party to attend.

Her Uncle Donny celebrated his 102nd birthday on July 5!

Mum attended a party for him on Saturday.

It was held at the Seniors home in Annapolis Royal,NS

On the was in, she saw this couple who were coming from

 a function at the seniors home.

Here is mum's Uncle Donnie with the youngest member 

of the family. His Great Nephew Edward is 6 weeks old!

102 years and 6 weeks is quite an age gap!

Here is her Uncle with  2 more Great Grandchildren.

They are Edward's older siblings.

When they went back to mum's cousin's place, it was suppertime

and also milking time. Little Edward's parents run the family farm now.

You can see the cows starting to cross the road.

Mum's cousin's hubby is helping his son.

 He has the flag incase a car comes down the road.

Here we see Gad,son and Grandson herding the cows.

Gate closed, the cows head to the barn.

That is little Edward' s Dad.

There was lots of food and kids.

They played soccer in the backyard.

They have a lot of room.

Mum was happy to see two cats at the gathering too.

These cats were lucky. With lots of people  and lots of food,

they got lots of snacks!

Mum was home late and we had supper late.

We were glad she came back though and  it's not like she does 

this a lot so we will let her off...this time.

 Sunday was pretty nice and I was on the porch.

You can see what I saw over at

House Panthers !

Our Gotcha Day!

Today is our Gotcha Day!!

Georgia and JJ were adopted on July 7, 2006.

Julie was adopted on July 7, 2012

Mum says she is the luckiest purrson.

She knows that her life was enriched SO much

since we became  a part of it.

We sat that the feeling is mutual!

Needless to say we are going to celebrate and have FUN!

We hope you will join us in the FUN!!!

We love Gotcha Days.



We also love our pawsome friends
Pipo and Mr Jack Freckles and their
Petcretary.

They made these wonderful pictures in honour
of our Gotcha Day!
 They are pawsome !!! Thank You!

Mancat Monday with JJ

JJ: Hi there friends. I am doing a post today.

Mum thought it would be a good idea as 

Friday is my Gotcha Day.

Actually, it is all of our Gotcha Days.

However, this Gotcha Day is a special one for me.

We will be celebrating my 20th year !

Mum adopted me in 2007. I was adopted with my 

late brother Treasure and  a sister called Tiger.

We did not appear on the blog at first, but then

mum decided that the blog would be more interesting

with a lot of cats.

Because I was adopted before mum got me, my records are 

not very complete.

The one record  mum did find shows I was around in 1997!

For that reason, we decided I should have my own post.

It is not every day that a cat gets to be 20 years old!

Oh...mum could  you please move this stuff out of my way?

There that's better.

At my annual check up, the Vet was very pleased with me.

I had gained weight,which is good for older cats, and have

been able to keep muscle loss to a minimum. That is

another problem with older cats.

I am able to jump small distances. I jumped on this table!

I do sleep a lot, but then most cats do, hahaha.

My hearing is not the best and mum says I have that

"old cat yowl". Gee! I just like to sing.

The only medication I take is a pill a day for my Thyroid and

a little Aventi for kidney support.

My appetite is very good too.

The only bad thing we can think of is that it is harder for me to 

groom all my floof.

Mum tries to help me with that , but I am not to crazy about that.

It is a constant battle.

All in all, I am a happy cat and enjoy life.

I also enjoy sunshine on my old furs and a cozy sleeping  spot.

I also like company and often get some from Julie.

She is a cute little girl and likes to be around me.

I also like snoozing with Georgia.

I am very easy going. Mum calls me the Groover.

Hey, life is groovy after all !

These pics are from a sunny day.

This past weekend was not sunny.

We had a lot of rain.

It stopped Sunday around lunchtime so I went out  yo

the porch. Julie was there.

To see what she thought about the weekend,

pop over to   House Panthers !
