Saturday Photo Hunt:

Today's photo hunt word is

C A T:

common domestic animal, is what Mom found in the dictionary

Mom says there is nothing common about any cat she knows

they are all unique unto themselves.

Mom is happy to share this collage of the cats currently in our family

  

Joy is

a cat's purr

that bursts forth

suddenly

and for no reason

A rumble

amidst couch cushions

in late afternoon sunlight that

becomes rhythm,

Tuesday Tale

Friday 1/15/16, 6 AM, started out Purrfectly...proper attention was paid to me

I was fed and my Fresh Flow water fountain had fresh water.  All was right with my world.

Fast forward to 1:30 pm when I was rudely shoved in my PTU, safety belted into the car

and off to the Vet for my mini Senior check up.  Which by the way I passed with flying 

colors.Weight 11.8 oz. I had only gained 1 ounce since July mom was sure I weight 20 lbs..., ticker fine, teeth tartar free and it was determined after some

squeezing and poking my insides were also purrfect.  They stole my blood to check my kidney 

enzymes.  We waited about 10 minutes for the labs to be run.  The enzymes were also perfect......

YAY ME!!!

BUT

 while we were waiting mom happened to see an animal/human age chart.

I'll be 14 in March...72 in human years!!!

She cackled like a hyena and nearly choked as she said

Madi....seems you are NOW the reigning 

Old Gray Mare  and you are 1 1/2 months older than your 

Dad!!! To which I replied...........

and she pours salt in my wounded ego by saying

she is NOW the youngest person in the house.

WOE WITH ME,  Mom aka formerly The Old Gray Mare will never let this rest.

After being thoroughly insulted, when we were ready to leave the Vet's.  It was raining sideways big fat rain. Mom can't carry an umbrella and my carrier so she wore a slicker.

Well friends the rain came in the door of my carrier and in the holes on top

MY PLUSH OLD GRAY MARE FURS GOT WET AND MY PINK  NOSE GOT WET.

THIS DIVA WAS NOT HAPPY. WHEN I GOT HOME, I HAD TO DO THE HOKEY POKEY TO GET THE RAIN OFF MY FURS.

What a day...mom says Madi you might be older than dirt but you have your

H E A L T H!!!
She must not know she is supposed to respect her elders!

Respectfully submitted

The NEW Old Gray Mare
