Today my grandkitties would like to tell you a story: There is drama,

mystery, intrigue and a bit of humor.

Thanks Granny for letting us hijack your blog today!!

Sincerely,

Your Grandkitties

****************

We and our parents moved to a new home (to us) in March.

Reason for the move, was we lived kinda far from all the places

like mom and dad's work, grocery stores, shops and from all our medical facilities.

When the pawrents saw this home was for sale, they moved quicker than greased lightning. 

Now we are much closer to everything.  For us, that means we don't have to spend 87 hours in our PTU in the car when we go to our vet.

We love it and we love the kitties quarters upstairs with plush, soft carpet for our delicate paws.

We have a room where all our stuff (3 litter boxes, a wonderful couch, a huge cat tree and one of our many window perches. Also upstairs we have 2 other bedrooms and a guest bath with lots of interesting things to explore.

Then without OUR prior approval, on May 14th, our pawrents sequestered all of us in their master suite down stairs.  We had all the essentials we needed for the day.  Now mind you, it is quite comfy a big queen bed, chairs, dressers to climb on, a human loo with a shower and a garden tub and double sinks.  

 

When we were finally released, we ran upstairs then the  bellowing started 

🙀🙀🙀

"MOM come quick somebuddy stole our carpet"

Looks like there was a paint ball fight  too!!

Two of us were not happy🙀😾, one of us decided to use the loo in the middle of all the drama/trauma, that is her tail you see.

We continued to explore room to room and finally we found our room.  It was still there NO carpet bah humbug.  As we continued to explore, we decided we liked the new floor and were thankful our stuff was NOT stolen by the carpet thieves.

Our pawrents asked the flooring guys to do our room first.

As of this reading, the remainder of the house now has this same flooring.  To say we 5 are happy, would be an understatement.  Our parents are also having  a new shower put into their master bath...but hopefully that will not bother us too much.

They are also replacing the original stair railing which was painted white with a new stained wooden railing. 

Now here is the nature part of today's story.

Dad took a sample of the flooring to Lowes so that he could match 

the stain for the railing. 

Turns out the stain color that best match was called 

FERRET, 

which made our Mom cackle!!!

Here is a photo of a ferret from Gigi Google 

We 3 kitties are all very thankful 'ferret' is just a color not a resident!! 

he ferret (Mustela furo) is a small, domesticated species belonging to the family Mustelidae. The ferret is most likely a domesticated form of the wild European polecat (Mustela putorius), as evidenced by the ferret's ability to interbreed with European polecats and produce hybrid offspring. Physically, ferrets resemble other mustelids because of their long, slender bodies. Including their tail, the average length of a ferret is about 50 cm (20 in); they weigh between 0.7 and 2.0 kg (1.5 and 4.4 lb); and their fur can be black, brown, white, or a mixture of those colors. The species is sexually dimorphic, with males being considerably larger than females.

Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Ellen came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

1. I have trouble pronouncing Pistachio .

2. I tend to confuse my iPad when I type it creates lots of new words.

3. I quit drinking sweet ice tea at supper because I really like it sweet. I cut out all sweet drinks.  Now we drink ice water with a twist of lime.

4. Currently, I can’t get *Never Never Grow UP out of my mind.

*The song Ellen had on her blog yesterday.

 My Grocery list

by Angel Madi

May 29, 2025

Each week I give Mom my grocery list

She says she needs no assist

As she unloads the groceries

I check each shelf

to assure myself 

she was listening.

However, each week I'm forced to say

Mom where is the 

BEEF

Wordless Wednesday with Kat

Thank you to our Hostess

 Dear Auntie HiC,

It’s been pretty boring around here lately.

So, here’s a video of me slurping  water! 😹  

Do you find that sound annoying or relaxing?

❤️ Kat

Dearest Nephew Kat

I, purrsonally, love the sound of water....but I especially enjoy the sound of your sweet slurps as you hydrate.

I will be MIA today starting at 1pm

 Dear Auntie HiC,

The squirrel population has quadrupled here this spring. Not only are they eating Mom's flowers, they’ve also started chewing on our new roof! 🙀

OH MY CATS WHAT THE HECK CHEWING ON YOUR ROOF THAT IS A FIRST.

I THINK THE SPRING 2025 TREE RATS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DROPPED OFF FROM AN ALIEN SHIP.  NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE.!!

HUGS Auntie HiC

Dad got out the live catch cage, captured & relocated 20 squirrels in 5 days!

No squirrels were harmed in the process. If any of our friends would like a couple squirrels we will gladly relocate to your neck of the woods! 😹

A friend told Mom to sprinkle cinnamon at the base of the plant to deter the varmints, & so far it’s working. 

Dad bought  Mom a new mandevilla, 

but it’s not going outside until the squirrels are more respectful! 😹

I’m on guard, and ever vigilant. 

❤️  Rocky

Hidey Ho my dear nephews and niece..

The squirrels we have this year are highly educated...I think one has a PhD in Physics........but he didn't realize I worked in Physics for 25 years, I know all the tricks of the trade.

Hugs and love Your Auntie HiC
