Gotcha Day

"Lynn, I have been with you 11 whole years. Where has all the time gone?"

"I was so embarrassed that the orphanage only gave me

the clothes on my back.  I had no new grey onesie fur my

new home."

"I was such a skinny unhappy orphan. And you found me.

You told me my onesie came with an elastic waist band and

extra deep leg hems fur letting out as I would some day

grow bigger."

"Now look at me, fat and sassy.  I think

I may just stay on fur a while longer."

Precious turned 12 years old this past November.

I hope she is here with me another 11 years.

Doll from the time of Dinosaurs

 "Lynn told me another one of her long long tales.  It seems that if I had been born when she was, in the days of dinosaurs, I had a  Great Gran'maw."

"And  Great G. had this little dolly she

dressed in a frilly dress and kept on her vanity fur years.

"But I guess Great G. grew wings and flew away,

and someone took the dolly away, when they

should not have."

"After 50 furry long years, they got a guilty

conscience and mailed her to Lynn a year ago.

It's original dress was in tatters, (not kept as 

neat as my grey onesie).  So Lynn got rid of

the dress and decided to make some clothes fur

the poor girl.  Her Gran'maw taught her early on

how to crochet and this is how she looks today fur

the new year."

"I slept through much of the stitching, but I heard

ev-furry word of her story.  I let her sit in the living

area and sniff her once in a while."

"As long as she does not interrupt my usual

doin's, she is furry welcome.  Lynn says it makes

her happy to have her."

This 8 inch craft doll used to be found easily in

any store selling crochet thread and cloth.  but the

dolls have also gone the way of dinosaurs and can

no longer be purchased.  People have moved on

from this kind of crafting, I guess.

My maternal Grandmother was born on this date,

January 5, 1900.  She'd be 124 today and I often

wish she was still here. She was to only one

in my family to have the patience to teach me

needle crafts.

Precious, creature of habit

"I have my routine you know.  I must do what I must do."

"First I git my brushin's at 5 PM.

I'm a furry punctual girl."

"Then I git my supper at 5:15 PM."

"Then I git my 3 hours of leg time at 5:30 PM."

"Then I git down at 8:30 PM and wait in my

bag every evening until 9 PM.  That's when

I GIT my bedtime snack!"

"So no matter how you look at it or me, 

I'm in the bag."

Precious and I wish every one a very 

Happy New Year.  May all be well in your

new year.

Here's our 2023 Fancy Feast ornament. 

It got here before Christmas.

Merry Christmas

 "Lynn and I want to wish each and every one of you a very 

Merry Happy Christmas."

"I'm a bit busy at the moment scratching my

fur-ever itchy ears. I need to be able to hear

8 tiny reindeer on the roof."

"Then it might be the herd that runs through here

ev-furry day. No so tiny."

"What ever comes your way on the night of Christmas Eve,

we wish you a very Merry Christmas indeed.

I'm hoping this big bag has lots of cat food fur me. Why

should Santa git all the cookies and I git nothing extra."

Precious and I hope all of you have a great season and enjoy 

however you spend the time.  I know a few of you are now

without benefit of fur, which is sad.  And also a few of

you have lost family members.  It makes life different

for holiday time.

"Lookie Lynn!  My very first whiff of the most handsome

Brody.  He sent me Christmas gifts!  And you got a new

library bag with kitties all over it.!

Yes, Precious, the sweet family over at 15 and Meowing

made you crochet catnip toys and sent a bit of

silvervine.  We will put it in your tired 'naner toy.

We can not thank Miss Ellen enough.

My water glass is back

"Lynn,  I am tired of the glass glass-bicycle glass fur my water. I want my old tried and true plastic glass."

You know I love my water any time of the day.

And I like it cold out of the 'fridge-a-day-tor.

And you are not quick enough to git my tongue in

the glass, mol.

No Precious you are too quick for the camera.

But I enjoyed seeing the blurry color lights behind

you and decided it was purrfect picture for me.

We are enjoying having the lights day and night as

it is always dark and cloudy around here even

on dry days.

We have special thank you for Mrs. H. and ERin the

Literary Cat.  They sent me this wonderful book that will

be so fun to read this winter.

"Of course, Lynn will read this to me in the evenings

when I have leg time fur hours on end.  Thank you."

'Puter Printer Box

"Lynn went 'puter printer shopping a couple weeks ago.  I do not know what it's fur 'cept to make noise when I'm napping. But I did get a box out of the deal."

"She left me fur over 1/2 a day to go to someplace

she says is out of town."

"Lynn says our big little city with only the W-box store

has Diddly Squat.  I think that was the brand maybe."

"So she found a better brand out of town and brought it home.

Then she had to read instructions on line to figger out how to

make it make noise and print.  I had already grown tired of

the box by the time she did all that.  Shows you how slow Lynn

is fur teckie stuff."

Time for lights and decorations

 "Lynn, let's git this here holiday season going.  It is much too

dark fur the winter and I need colored lights and tree!"

"And you know I will never knock over the tree.

The sound of it falling and breaking ornaments

would put me UTB fur a month."

We are now in Christmas spirit.  I like to celebrate

Thanksgiving and then let that settle until Dec. 1.

I'll have the tree up until January 6 or 7.  We need the

extra colorful light at this time of year.

It was 17 F when I put it up and snowing lightly.

"And I need a nap in my blue bag.  Tree trimmin'

is tiring work fur a kitty.  And we thank ye fur

the luv-ly well wishes fur-om last week.

And furry purry thanks to Miss Ann and June

fur my Christmas header."

Precious is inside for the winter.  We had to take

down the catio fence before Thanksgiving due

to the extreme change in weather this early.

She misses outside and sits in the kitchen looking

out into the dark at 5:30 AM.  And has her fresh air fix

looking out the bathroom window at 6 AM before ducking

under the bed for a long snooze.

And Willie, this pink tree if for you.
