HAPPY 6TH GOTCH DAY TO ROCKY and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday#260


Dear Auntie HiC,

Can you believe the Cat Distribution System delivered me on The Hill 6 years ago?
I was a shy and timid little kitty, but I knew I had found my forever home as soon as Mom said, “Hello, sweetie!”

I’m now a confident, chill, and affectionate boy!


I owe most of my happiness in my forever home to Kat, my best friend! 


It’s true what The Beatles said, “All You Need is Love”❣️
Let’s all sing it together… 🎢🎢🎢🎢


 ❤️ Rocky

Dearest Nephew Rocky...Oh how well I remember that day...you walked up on to Mt. Harland.  Proof Pawsitive that Gingers are not only handsome, funny and smart BUT MOSTLY BRAVE and fearless!! 

Lovingly your proud Auntie HiC


 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo challenge 


When gainfully EMPLOYED,
I thoroughly enjoyed my work.
However being DEPLOYED 
to an (HR) meeting
Made my mind's eye EXPLODE
leaving me no choice except to 
stare at the back of my eyelids.
Dreaming of Calgon** taking me away.

** for you youngsters Calgon mixed with water made for a very nice bubble bath.

  1. Rocky , We are thrilled you were delivered to us. Kat needed a brother he could play & cuddle with❣️ And you’re my sweet snuggle bug❣️Auntie HiC, You purrr-fectly described the misery these poor folks are enduring! Oh how I hated faculty & staff development meetings. There were always 100 more important things that needed to done in my classroom. Yes, I fondly remember Calgon take me away, far, far away. 😹

  5. We hope Rocky has a fabulous Tabby day......My Mom has had many tabbies in her life but she seems to have drifted to the ginger side of things (which I'm glad of!). Anyway, we loved your poem - lectures can really be boring with a capital B. It is a bit awkward to hear a snore coming from someone in the crowd......even MORE awkward when there's a symphony of snores! Happy Tabby Day.......

    Hugs, Teddy
