10th anniversary of Gotcha Precious

 "Lynn, I am so glad I got got.  It was a difficult life for me in the orphanage. I am such a loner, all those friendly felines were overwhelming and I 'bout starved myself to death 'fore you found me."

Precious arrived at home on January 8, 2013.

She had been in the orphanage only a couple months.

Precious was maybe 13 to 15 months old when she came home here.

And she was grossly under weight. Less than 5 pounds. In this

photo she had been with us a few weeks and was eating well and

gaining a bit of weight.  The vet wanted her to be 7 pounds very

very soon.  

She took to life with us very easily, once we figured out that

her name was Precious and she answered to it.  We thought

that was just an orphanage "handle" and tried a few new

names on her and she ignored us completely.

 

She came with a few other problems soon corrected by the

meds we had to apply.  She had a cloud in her left eye the

vet was concerned was cancer but gave us eye drops of some

sort to use for a couple months and it finally just disappeared.

She has a crooked left hind leg from a break not attended to.

And she had ear mite debris so bad that it took 3 trips to

the vet to wash her ears clean.  The humane society of

course, had quarantined her and deloused Precious before she

was released into the general cat population.

She gives me much comfort and love even when she is under 

the bed!  I give her hair brushing every day and I get 3 hours

of leg time every evening (even on the day of a vet visit).

"Lynn, this place is OK with me, but I really need my sleep and

all this clicky clacky 'puter stuffy is interfurring. Give it a rest."

Happy New Year Everyone

 "I won't be awake at midnight New Years Eve, unless one of

our neighbors shoots off loud fireworks.  So I thought I'd say

"Happy New Year" today and nod off to sleep."

"I'm going fur 48 hours of sleep."

"I'll see you in the funny papers 

next year."

Precious and I wish every one a very Happy New Year.

It's been a good one here in 2022 and we hope for more

of that in '23.

"We won't come back 'til Jan. 8.  

That's when I'll celebrate "The Great Escape" 

fur-om the Orphanage minus

Steve McQueen."

Very Merry Christmas

 "I want to tell ev-fur body Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I'm waiting for Santa to bring me crunchies, more crunchies and Greenies."

Precious and I wish each and everyone of you a 

very Merry Christmas. 

We found a few blog cards that we swiped and posted here.

But it is not all the lovely blogs we look for all the time.

We wanted to include the Marvelous Cat Tree on

15 and Meowing,  and Lynn found it fur a moment,

but she couldn't get back to let me stick in my paw

and grab it.  It was fun tree.

PS: Lynn and I hope we and ev-fur body else is able

to be on-line this weekend.  Weather coming means

I, Precious,  will not have the window open.

Town all Decorated

"Lynn says the big little city here is all decorated for Christmas.

She went for a brisk cold walk and looked at the wonderful window displays."

Our big little city has an old fashion town square.

One with no buildings,  just statues honoring all

our veterans from every war our country has been and

is currently fighting.

There is a gazebo and a multi-layer water fountain.

And live very old trees along with a living evergreen.

They had their Christmas parade Nov. 27 and the

tree lighting.  It was warm and raining that day.

I took my walk later on a weekday and it

was definitely no longer warm.

The stores here were all built in the early 1900's and

all have the old fashion inset doors with large glass

surround display windows.  You get two chances to

see the lovely Christmas scenes they have put up.

"I asked Lynn how one of our deer got inside the

book store.  We figure they put out lots of apples

and left the door open."

This is a huge Advent Tree Calendar.

"Purr-sonally Lynn, I am glad you are home and

thawing out your frozen fingers before you

try combing me.  You'll freeze off my furs!"

We wish Happy Hanukkah to our furr-iends

next week.

Collecting Christmas Cards

 "Lynn, look at the cards we found on the bloggies."

"All these folks have been so friendly and made these lovely

cards so I thought I'd show them off.

And Ann and June  made a card fur me

to give out to everyone.  Another Christmas gift!"

"If you are collecting too, please reach in a paw and take

my card.  I'm so proud of it."

"And lookie what came in the mail in time fur the tree this year.

My FF ornament Lynn ordered.  It came in it's furry own

mini green suitcase as it has traveled the globe."

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

It is much appreciated.

Pick a drawer, any drawer

 "I can't decide which drawer I want now. Open 'em all

and I'll play Goldie Locks."

"I'll check out your ironing.  If I see a  wrinkle or

two, I'll press them out fur you."

Sometimes we can use all the favorite drawers in

one visit together to the bedroom. 

It can be a bit aggravating to open and remove each

one Precious wants in.  But if I'm folding laundry and

need in so many anyway, well why the heck not.

"Lynn says I did a fo pa (what ever that is) and did not

put our Chrismas tree in my letter last week.

So here I am with the Fancy Feast tree."

" Angels Seney and Suzy Q have their

photos in the FF picture frames."

Not very Curious

What is this puny box, Lynn?  Doesn't look big enough for my

food or smell like anything to play with."

"It is hardly big enough for me to stick my head inside.

Where's the treats?  Where's the nippy toy?

Even a Cracker Jack box has a prize!"

Precious usually sniffs the smell of the delivery person

on the box and then off she goes.  Never a box girl.

"Since this mail did not bring news, I'll share some with you.

Lynn put up the Christmas tree and I am happy to hide

under the table it's on.  She puts a white sheet over the

table and it makes a furry good place to lay close to

the furnace output.  She put up all the Fancy Feast

ornaments."

"I, Precious, allowed Lynn to bike on our birthday last week.

She said she has never had such warm weather to go out

so late in November.  I was waiting fur her to git home and

FEED me.""

"Lynnsays it has gone "frigid" again, but I still git the

open window ev-furry morning after I eat breakfast."

"But my chipmunk has gone to bed fur the winter, it

seems as I, Precious, no longer see him.  Just lots of

brown leaves flying by the door."

"But please see what June and her mommy gave me fur my

birthday.  A beautiful Christmas header!  I love it and I

look good in it, too."

"And I got a bag of fresh store bought catnip!

Lynn said she found some a few weeks ago

but the store was asking too much fur it.

Then she found this bag fur 1/2 that and

believe me, it is super nippy."

"This is my Christmas letter fur everyone

who comes to see me.

With love, Precious."
