This Moment, See Beautiful

This Moment at 5:39 pm, Wednesday, 4/9/14 Mom Saw Beautiful 

Her first hummer sighting of the season..

there was shouting and dancing. She thinks the first day of

hummingbird season should be a National Holiday.

She was in mid sentence at supper and YELL

my itty bitty Kitty Paw

SUGAR FOR THIS MOMENT SEE BEAUTIFUL

While mom was out taking pictures she left me in charge of the office.  I told her I'd be waiting my my sun puddle

Our house faces north so we don't have lots of things blooming except in the Spring.  Today we are 
featuring our Red Bud tree...the beautiful blooms are lavender not
red...MOL

since the collage is kind of small here is another picture

every so often you see this  heart shaped leaf on our blog
Each time mom sees this beautiful leaf she takes a moment
to enjoy it.

It is a Red Bud leaf.. and the tree will be absolutely full of these

gorgeous leaves all summer.

THURSDAY TAIL

THERE I WAS SOAKING UP RAYS

WHEN I NOTICED MOM ON THE FLOOR

I SASHAYED ON OVER TO SEE IF

SHE NEEDED ME

  SHE DIDN'T

 I WENT BACK TO MY NICE SUN RECTANGLE. THIS PARTICULAR

ROOM HAS THE BEST SUN PUDDLES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SHAPE IT WILL BE OR WHERE.  EARLY MORNING IT IS SQUARE ON THE BACK WALL. 

IT SLOWLY MOVES DURING THE DAY.  

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY: MARG

TODAY APRIL 9, 2014 IS THE BIRTHDAY OF A DEAR FRIEND AND LOVER OF ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

Most deserving

Animal lover

Ready to help

Great friend

Many of you may not know Marg so we are

reposting Meet my Cabinet  interview with

 her in July of 2013.  

MOM AND I ALSO THANK MS. MARG FOR WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES ON NUMEROUS AUCTIONS TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANIMALS IN NEED.

COMMISSIONERS OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

1.  Please introduce yourself(selves), tell us your age and a very special trait.
Our Person's name is Marg and she is just plain old. Her special trait is just plain taking care of animals and trying to find homes for homeless animals. So we have lots of cats here since there just isn't anywhere else for them to live. Most of them were born at the neighbors and the Momma kitty was a very feral kitty and so the kittens were getting feral too, so she fed them all and eventually grabbed the kittens and brought them home. Then a neighbor found four little kittens under the hood of their car, so they came here too. Then one neighbor moved away and left their two cats, so guess who had to feed them. 
For this interview, we will just mention some of the cats that live here. 

2. If you had an alter ego , who would you like to be and why.
 Hi there Mahoney here, and I kind of like just who I am. I was rescued from a house that had been abandoned and so I am just very happy to have a roof over my head and lots of good food to eat. And the love is passed out a lot here. I have some great toys too.

3.What do you like best/ least about where you live??
Mahoney here again, I like it here because my Mom Maggie lives here with us and that silly Two Two lives here too and we play all the time.We have the best time charging around the house and pestering the Person. I can't think of anything I don't like. We have the Person all trained to feed us at least every 30 seconds.

4.Who are some peeps/furineds you would like to meet and why??
We would all like to meet Madi and her Mom for sure just because they are such special peeps and kitties. We just think it would be fun to meet any of the bloggers. 

5. If you could give one piece of random advice, what would it be??

Hi there, Momma kitty here, and I have several pieces of advice. If you should run across a feral colony of 
kitties, please try to Trap, Neuter and return them so they will be spayed and neutered and not be able to 
reproduce. I had three litters of kittens and luckily Marg has kept them but other wise they probably would 
have died. Feral cats are not bad cats and can make really nice pets with a lot of patience from the peeps. I 
finally got caught and do not allow touching, but I follow the Person everywhere she goes. 

6. What do you do for fun?
Hi there Two Two here, and I spend the day having fun. I will just bat anything I can find all over the 
house. It can be a little piece of dust or just anything. I have a favorite toy too that I talk to and carry it 
all over the house too. I just plain enjoy life. 

Hi there, I am Joe, the donkey and I live here with my buddy Smoke and our favorite thing to do for fun is to pick up the buckets in our pasture and just carry them all over the place. 

7.  What is the first thing you do each morning??
Maggie here, it is my job at 5 A.M. to wake the Person up so she can feed us. I wake her up by walking 
round and round her head. Finally she does get up and gets busy feeding all of us. I do this every morning. 

8. What is the first thing you notice about a new friend??
Mahoney here, the first thing I notice when one of the cats comes in the house from the outside world is how they smell. Our Person always looks for a good sense of humor in a person.  Our dog Ande, just loves everyone and is not fussy so she doesn't take much notice of anything.

9. Tell us how you came to live in your family and how you got your name?? 
We were all rescued from around the neighborhood since no one else wanted us. So we have a large family. We mostly got our names from the color of our furs. Ohs is Orange, Bees is Black, Tees is tabby, Black is Black and so on. Mahoney was named after the very nice person that drove our Mom to Chemo and her last name was Mahoney. Maggie was named after the name of our vet clinic which was Magnolia and Maggie for short. Our person is not very good at naming kitties.

10.What is your absolute favorite food??
Missy here, and my favorite food is canned chicken. It is so yummy. 

Bonus question. 
How many animal languages does the Person speak? 
She does have a ton of languages that she speaks. She meows, woofs, and neighs and hee haws. She does not get them mixed up since the animals would not be happy creatures if she did.
Who would you say could be named Mr/Mrs. Congeniality?We really don't have a Mr/Mrs congeniality here. Most of us are cats and cats just are not friendly with other 
cats. Maggie and Mahoney love each other, but Mahoney will go after any stranger that comes in the house.

TUESDAY TALE

Saturday mom passed through the FOYER several times

each time she found me looking up...Looking up is contagious.  In a matter of seconds mom looked up too.  Once she determined there were no BUGS she squeals like a little girl when she sees bugs up there, she took 87 pictures of me looking up.  BUT we are only showing you three

I stared at the door for about 5 minutes.

 never moving or blinking.  Finally Mom 

decided to see if there was something outside

 She found all kinds of twigs and grass and debris on the

porch

 Lo and behold Mrs. Brown headed Nuthatch was trying to make a nest on the 2" ledge above the door.  Mom and I love Bird TV but there are many reasons we cannot have a bird nest over our front door.

1.Mom and Dad come in and out of that door a gazillion times a day 2.Mom said what if an itty bitty birdie egg falls on my head 

3.Even worse what if it poops on my head.

She swept the debris off the ledge 3 times.

She nearly used up all the ram on her hard drive trying to 

think of a way to convince Tweety Pie that this real estate

in off limits

You know they say Necessity is the Mother of Invention

You'll never believe the Invention my Mother came up with

Sunday afternoon Mom hung several curly ribbons on the ledge.  She said when the wind blows the motion of the ribbon would keep the birds away. 

The picture below was taken Monday morning. 

Now the birdbrain is trying to make a nest in both corners.

Mom came up with another solution covering the entire

transom window and ledge with a plastic bag.

We will let you know if this works. 

In the meantime Mom says visitors are going

to get a chuckle out of this.

In order to be close to the action, I've been sitting in the foyer.

I can here you all saying WHY IS THE BOX STILL IN THE FOYER?

ANSWER:  I like the box there.

Mom says she and Dad own the house

but I own their hearts...

  Sometimes I come running

down the stairs and making a flying leap onto the box!!

MELTDOWN....

Mom had one when she happened by 

MY AFTERNOON SUN PUDDLE

She said Madi freeze!! 

She ran for the flashy beast to capture my paws

crossed at the wrist...the squeal you heard was not my mini piggie friend Cocco

IT WAS MOM

 I told her kitties don't have wrist

But whatever she was happy and you know what they say happy Mom

happy 

Madi!!

Black and White Sunday and Plates

Many thanks to Sugar and Nola for hosting

the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop! 

I told mom you all would want to know what was up with the lantern but she ignored my advice.  So here is the deal.  She was cleaning a closet,

found the lantern.  She had an aha moment..it will look nice in B&W.

It is chrome and has an LED battery operated light. That is why it is in the picture.

NEXT TIME SHE WILL LISTEN TO ME!!
