Resting Up for a Big Celebration

Julie: JJ and I are resting up for a celebration

on Friday.

Mum says it is a big milestone for us.

Mum says it started before I got here.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I need to sleep on this .

See you Friday!

JJ Trying to Snooze in the Sun

Julie: Hey JJ,what's ya doin' ?

JJ :Well Julie, I was trying to have a nap in the sunshine.

Julie: Oh yeah, I know what you mean.

This sun IS nice!

It feels so good on my black furs!

 Are you sure you want to sleep JJ ?

Yes Julie, I am quite sure.

These old bones love the heat of the sun.

Yes! Julie is gone. 

Now I can enjoy my sunny snooze.

Julie had more fun on the porch.

Mancat Monday with JJ

JJ: How cool is this? I get to do a post by myself!

Mum says it is Mancat Monday and I am the only

Mabcat here!

As you can see, I found the sun on the porch.

That was pretty neat.

I even had the porch to myself for a while as

Mz Julie was snoozing. Can you believe that?

A young cat (compared to me) sleeping!!

We had a wild weekend.

Friday  it snowed and it was also very windy!

Mum heard lots of bumping sounds and finally went

 to see what was going on.

This is what she saw! This big branch broke off of a tall tree,

At the top of the picture you can see mum's footprints

when she came home from work.

Saturday morning she took this picture.

The trunk of the big tree is in the background.

Mum does not know how the branch fell

and did not take out the power lines that are in front of the tree!

If you look closely at this picture, you can see

snowflakes! It is hard to tell, but it was partly sunny at 

the same time!

This picture is from Sunday and you can see where some

snow has melted by the trees.

This picture is from Saturday and it was sunny.

The sun melted a lot of snow too !

For a good portion of the weekend Julie was doing this

when she was not sleeping on mum's lap.

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 !

Monday Musings with Georgia

Georgia: Hi friends. As yo can see, I am having a relax 

on this very comfy blankie. I also have something to tell you.

A while ago I had my annual check up.

Based on things mum told the Vet she decided to test my pee.

See, I was not hungry at breakfast and would run

away when mum wanted to give me breakfast.

Our Vet does the test in house so we knew the results

a few hours after the test. Mum just needed to think about

the results for a while.

The Vet said I had a lot of calcium in my pee.

This can be an indicator of a tumor.

The Vet decided that a high protein diet would be good for me

and she also gave mum an appetite stimulant for me.

Well, I loved the food and never did need the stimulant.

We will see how things go at my semi-annual check.

For now, we are not going to worry.

Whew! That was a lot to say.

I think I will go back to relaxing now.

JJ is very good at relaxing. He has a favourite spot

by the fireplace and sleeps there a lot.

You can see how happy he is.

Earl the Squirrel is also happy.

The birdfeeder is full of seeds and he is eating as fast as he can!

Julie was spending some time window gazing.

Random Pictures Friday

Georgia: Well, once again it is Friday.

We are happy but mum is happier as she has 2 days

to spend with us!

This past week mum saw lots of interesting things 

and we are sharing them with you.

This is a picture of a female cardinal.

Mum does not often see this bird as she is

away from home working.

Mum was happy to see her visiting though

we know some cats would think she is crazy!

Mum was looking out the kitchen window one day and saw this snail!

No, she did not bring it in for us to sample.

This is a Burning bush.

In the Fall when days grow shorter, the the leaves start to turn  a

bright red. In other words,it "burns"

Last week, many people were affected by Hurricane Matthew.

He still had enough energy to make it us to Nova Scotia!

On Monday he blew across our province.

While the farthest east part,known as Cape Breton, got the worst

with severe flooding and damage to roads and property,

we got high wind and rain.

The wind broke this big branch.

As the branch fell, it hit this window and broke it!

The window has double panes and only the outside pane broke.

Mum will have to fix it before Winter.

On her way to work Thursday, mum saw this cat

trying to figure out how to get that pigeon.

We think that all he could do was watch wistfully.

We should be getting a sunny weekend

 and we are looking forward to doing more of this.

It is not often that you get to see 3 of us in one picture.

here I am with Julie and JJ.

Treasure was sleeping somewhere else.

We are looking forward to a fun weekend again.

WE purr that all of you also have a 

FUN weekend!

Mancat Monday with JJ

 Hello friends. It's me JJ.

I am your Mancat for today.

My brother Treasure did a post,now it's my turn.

Like him, I am 19 years old and am in pretty good health.

I had some blood stolen by the Vet on Thursday .

I have  Hyperthyroid  and she was pleased with the results.

There is no change in my meds.

My hobbies are eating and sleeping and looking for scritches.

I get along with everycat. Mum says I am very laid back.

I like to be on the porch and I share it with Julie.

We get along really well.

The sun feels really good on these old bones.

I like to spend a lot of time here.

Sometimes mum even brings me treats!

Speaking of Julie, she is posting today at

House Panthers.

Pop over and see her.

So fun to play with too!

Intoxicated with joy!
