Winnie says MERRY CHRISTMAS!

                                          Winnie: I like this first Christmas in my new home!

                                           Look at all the toys! I got some treats and another 

                                           toy for Christmas.

                    

                                            Do you know what I am most happy about?

                                            Yup! Having a home of my very own!
                                            I am SO happy I was adopted!

                                           I hope every pet had a great Christmas too!!!!!

My housemates

Winnie:  Hi friends. I am getting more settled 

in my new home. I like Mum a lot.

I like Auntie and Uncle too.
I am having lots of fun here.

I am a lucky cat and I have built in friends.

 Summer is a pretty nice cat.

Mum says her furs are very soft.
We get on OK but are not besties yet.

  

This is BC. She is black like me, though she has more 

white furs  as you can see on her neck and tummy.

She likes to play and chase strings.

                                          We are not big friends yet, but slowly getting there.
                                          When we do become friends, it will be pretty lively

                                           around here! We all like to play and run around.

                                          I have been exploring this place and it is pretty nice.

                                          There is lots of room to run around! There are even stairs 

                                           here. Exploring will be such fun and this place is way

                                            more fun than the SPCA shelter.

                                           Mum says Christmas is just days away, but I already have

                                           my present... a great new home and a Mum that loves me!!!

                                           As it will be busy over the next few days, I will wish you all

                                            MERRY CHRISTMAS and  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

   
 

Winnie...going,going,gone!

Winnie: Gee I bet I can fit under this bedside table!

Going...

Going...

 Gone!!!!

Heh!! New I could do it!!!!!!

Not very exciting under here though...

Maybe I will go hop on the bed instead.

It is soft and cozy!

Hello from Winnie and a Remembrance of Julie

Winnie: Mum and I would like to thank

Ingrid Rickmar for this lovely tribute and remembrance for 

Julie.

                                       I did not know Julie, but Mum tells me she was a

                                                  wonderful companion and friend.

                                                  

                                                 I know I have big paws to fill and I will do my best.

                                                 We are  off to a pretty good start as Mum needed a kitty   

                                                 to love and I needed a loving home with a human to love.

                                                 We are settling into our home with  mum's sister and hubby.

                                                 I still have not met my furcousins BC and Summer,

                                                 There have been glimpses though and maybe some hisses.

                                                 Good thing we all have lots of time!!

                                                 It has been a while since mum posted and she is rusty! 

                                                 Must be a sign of...age maybe   MOL

                                                  Anyway, see you all soon!!!!!
                                                    

                                                    Winnie

                                                                                    

                                                

                                                 

                                                                                    

 

Family Members

Winnie: I friends. Getting mum to help has been a trial.

Luckily, I have prevailed!

Life is pretty good here, but I am still  bit shy.

I will introduce my housemates.

This is BC. She belongs to mums sister.

Mum says she is a cutie.
She stayed with her when  her son moved out.

She liked it here and made friends with the resident 

cat named Summer.

 This is Summer and she belongs to Mums sister.

We are still slowly getting to know each other.

Mum and I like each other a lot too!

Good thing we have lots of time.
Life is good and I am sure it will stay that way.

As long as mum is around I am happy, no matter

where I am! 

Hello from Winnie

                                                   Hi, Winnie here. It is taking me a while

                                                    to  get the hang of this blogging thing.

                                                    I is even harder to get mum to help.

                                                    I am loving my new home. I have so much more room

                                                    than I did at the shelter.  I am in a room with Mum.

                                                    I still have not met the other cats , but I hear them.

                                                   I am getting used to the sounds.                                                                

                                                        

                                                     Mum says I will get to meet the cats soon.

                                                      She wanted to make sure I was comfy in

                                                      this place and  I am. Compared to a cage this 

                                                      place is awesome! I even get this huge bed to sleep

                                                      on too! I know I am going to love it here and I am 

                                                       SO happy!!!

                                                       

                                                            

                                                                I'll be seeing you all soon!

Hello from Edwina

Hi there. My name is Edwina.

I tend to get called Winnie.

Mum adopted me from the SPCA.

Mum says I  was born September 30,2018.

That makes me 5 years old.

                                                   I am really happy to have my own home now!
                                                   I have my own room that I share with mum,

                                                   It is SO nice to be here and I really like mum.

                                                   There are two other cats here, but we have not met yet.

                                                    That may take a while as I need to get comfy here.

                                                    I am pretty sure I am going ti like this place and I already

                                                    like MUM!

                                                    Mum and I are ready to start our new life chapters together.

                                                    This will be SO exciting!

Farewell from Julie

Julie posting from the rainbow Bridge

Julie: Hi friends. I am sorry to say that the 

breast cancer I had some time ago has reared its

ugly head again. I was enjoying life with Mum

and Auntie L and Uncle J. We had moved in with them .

They have two cats...Summer and BC(black cat)

I was also losing weight. In spite of this, I was

doing Ok. 

Lately, however, I started to not feel so well.

Mum took me to the Vet and we got the bad news.

That evil C was back!

Here is my last picture and last post.

As you can see, I am at the Vet place

getting ready for my final journey.

I am happy that Mum and I moved in with

Auntie L and Uncle J and my fur cousins

BC and Summer.

At least she will not be alone when I go to

the Bridge.

Julie:

 

Mums eyes are very leaky as she does not

want to say goodbye. I do not either, but I just do

not feel well.

Over the next few days Mum will post some pics of my

 fur cousins, Summer and BC.

 Maybe they will carry on the blog.

I have really enjoyed visiting with you, my friends.
I do not want to go, but I am not feeling the best.

Maybe on special times when the moon is right

I will pop in to say Hi!
I will miss you my friends!
I will miss you Mum!!!!!!!!!!!

Mum: Julie, I will always love you and miss you!

 Julie:  July,2009 - November 6, 2023

Hi from Julie

Julie: Well! Getting Mum to help me blog has been 

a bit of work. Finally got het to do it for me,

I still spend lots of time in my room as I am

still a bit nervous of Auntie Linda's place.

The other two cats here are younger and we have not

spent time together to be considered friends.

Maybe one of these days, but I confess that I am not in a hurry.

I am happy and that is enough for now.

                                                 I will get mum to get some pictures of the other 

                                                 two for the next post. They are actually pretty

                                                 nice cool cats,  Purrs for now!

Julie blogging from our new home

Julie: Hi friends! It has been a while since I blogged.

Lots has happened. I did have an operation but it

did not accomplish all we wanted it to for me.

Julie: Mum and I have moved in with Mum's

younger sister. We are now  in Kentville. 

There are 2 cats there. It will

take a while for us to get along but that is OK

as we have lots of time.

I did have my operation, but it was not a complete success.

There was a mass and the Vet was not able to 

remove it all. I did well in recovery, but I do have a limp.

Mum will help me live  the best life I can and I am

happy as long as I am with her.

There is a large deck here and a big back yard .

There is also lots of grass for me to nibble.

 This is Snoopy. She is a big cat. She likes being outside too.

We are not pals but we tolerate each other ,

I do spend a lot of time in my room resting.

 

Next time, I will introduce Summer, the other cat.

For now, I am happy as long as I am with mum.

That makes me happy and for now I feel pretty good.

  

 

My new adventure...Moving!

 

Julie: Hi friends. Just thought I would pop 

in to let you know I may be offline for a bit.

We are moving!

Mum and I are going to live with Mum's sister.

New adventures for me.
There are two cats  there!

I will let you know how it goes!

Relaxing outside before my operation

Julie: I enjoyed sitting on the ramp this weekend.
This was on |Sunday.

I did not get out on Saturday as we had a BIG storm.

Lucky for us, it was not too bad. As we are on a hill,

water does not tend to stick around. We did not lose

power as many others did.

I really enjoy Summer as I get to sit outside.

It is pretty quiet here so that makes it even better.

I never wander too far as |I know mum keeps an eye on me.

 I have a lump on my belly. I have to go to the Vet

on Wednesday to have it removed. Needless to say

I am not looking forward to that.

Mum will keep you all posted.

Just relaxing and pondering surgery

 

      Julie: I was at the Vet today.   
    I have some lumps on my belly . 

     Next week I will have them removed.

  I had some before that were removed.

 Hopefully this procedure will go well. 

           

I will spend lots of time here as I love getting

brushed and mum likes brushing me.

I also like sleeping in Mum's bed. MOL!

Even when she makes the bed I like to sleep on the covers .

Yup! I am a happy cat!

Julie rules the roost!

Julie: This weekend, I had a good time hanging out

with mum. Here we are enjoying the day on

the porch.

Here I am in the living room.

This is where I get lots of brushings.

I like to nap here too, sometimes.

I am hanging out on the bed.

I think mum wants to make the bed, but she

will have to wait until I am ready to move.

Everything is done at the  convenience of the cat. 

MOL!!!!

 

Just Hanging Out!

Julie: I like being on the porch.
Sometimes I go outside  and mum watches me.

Often, I just like to sit and look out the open door.

I can get scritches as well which is so nice!

I also like sitting on the bed.

                                                     I am waiting for mum to join me.

We might watch the TV, read or Mum can give

me belly rubs. I love those!

 

No matter what we do. it will be fun as long as we are together!

Enjoying sunshine and life!

Julie: It was nice and sunny so I got to spend some time 

outside.

I enjoyed my time outside for a while.

When it got dark, mum and I worked

on the blog. I dictated from a cozy spot.

Mum has this neat cross stitch picture.

She thinks it would be cool to have 5 black cats.

I say that I am all she needs!

                                                   

Mum agrees, but still thinks it would be cool.

Dream on Mum!

I am all you need!!!

Julie enjoying the sunshine!

Julie: Woo Hoo!!
My stitches are out!
Now I can relax knowing I do not have to go 

to the Vet for a good while!

 That means I get to go outside and enjoy

the sun. Maybe some tasty grass too. Mum still

needs to cut it though!!!

I am very happy and I do enjoy the sun on my

panther furs!

I also get to snoopervise Mum as she does my blog.

Sometimes you need to watch your human. MOL!

OK! Time to go back outside to the sunshine!

My Adventure

Julie: Hi friends! Guess what?

I had an adventure!

Mum and I went to spend a week with one of Mum's sisters.

She has 3 sisters. This sister lives in Kentville.

I was a bit nervous but we had our own room.

There were two other cats there, but we did not meet.

I did not mind that. While it was quiet for me, 

I enjoyed having mum nearby.

 While the week was good, I do enjoy being back in my own home.

Tuesday I get my stitches out. WooHoo!!

It will be cloudy too so maybe I can get some grass.

Today is rainy  with  rumbles!

Julie's Surgery

Julie: I have been to the Vet lately for some surgery.

I had some lumps on my belly. I had some before.

I am recovering, but still feel like staying quiet.

I will be happy when my stiches come out so 

I can feel well and get back to the things I like to do.

Things like sitting outdoors. I really like that.
Good thing there is still lots of Summer days for

me to enjoy. I hope to get back to normal soon.
Maybe nest week when my stitches come out!

 

Black cat Appreciation day with Julie

Julie: Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!!!!!!

 

Late afternoon on the porch

Julie: It was pretty cloudy yesterday.

I was out for a bit, but decided that sitting

on the porch was more comfy.

It was pretty nice. Mum sat with me and did some

reading. I hope she finishes soon as it is

getting close to suppertime.

 I would not want to have to remind her with a claw 

or anything ya know! MOL!!!!

Julie loves the Sun!

Julie: Sunny days are purrfect for napping in the sun!

It feels SO good!

 

When it gets too hot, I cam go into the porch.

It is a bit cooler and has a comfy couch.

One of these days Mum needs to get pictures of me doing 

something other than sleeping.

She can be a bit lazy like me.

We blame it on the sunny days!

Julie and the Moon

Julie: Just relaxing in the sun and getting my black furs hot!

Don't worry, I go inside if it is too hot..

Mum makes sure of that.

 

The full moon was shining last night.

It is pretty impressive.

 Almost as impressive as me. MOL!!!!
