3.28.13 This ‘N That Thursday: CatDaz Plays Along

this-n-thatI thought I would join Jodi at Heart Like a Dog and 2 Brown Dawgs for their This ‘N That Thursday Blog Hop.  Usually I do the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, but I wanted to try something new, I do hope you don’t mind.  

So first let’s start with a THIS:  THIS is almost the end of March in the Northern Hemisphere and THIS week we got our first real snow of the season.  Go figure.  I think THIS was the first snow that Stella ever saw.  She watched it from her bed in the cat room window, while Noel watched from her perch in the living room.

That was this, now for that:  It is not often THAT I actually get a chance to read the newspaper.  It used to be THAT The Muffin Man would always sit on it any time I opened it up.  But now THAT he is gone, I guess THAT Noel, has decided it is her place to take over.  So much for reading today.  

I am not sure THAT THIS is what they meant by THIS N’ THAT Thursday, but it was fun. Go to Heart Like a Dog if you want to join the hop (I can’t do the hop code on WordPress, sorry).

3.27.13 Wordless Wednesday: Mopey Sofie

wpid-IMG953027.jpgI was away last weekend.  Sofie was not happy about it.  Poor Sofie.  That is her moping step.  She waits there until I return, unless of course someone gives her food, or a toy, or a cat wants to get down the stairs. K8 took the picture. She sent it to me on my phone.  BOL.   Happy Wednesday.

3.26.13 DeTails

Sofie TailSofie’s tail against Louise’s black fur.  It looked really cool to me.  They were lying on Peanut’s bed.

I wish sometimes that I could be faster on the camera.  There are so many times when I want to capture what I am looking at, or sounds that I hear, and share them with others, but I don’t have the technology.  We  have become a world of sharing images and sounds.  Thanks to the internet we are able to capture moments in time and catapult them across the universe.  It is amazing how much more we can experience because of these incredible inventions.  Innovation is endless.  “G-d is in the details.”

3.25.13 Monday Mischief: I Smell Smoke

2013-03-17_13-31-26_657

2013-03-17_13-31-44_678

What is that I smell?  There is something different down here by the water. FIRE!  I smell a fire.  Mommy says that I should stay away from fire. I like the smell though.  When Mommy was a little girl her house burned down, so she does not like the smell at all.  She worries at the slightest burning smell.  

Wait!  We don’t have a fire pit by the water.  That was the Horse Shoe game pit.  Someone burned stuff in the game pit.  And there is also glass in there; someone smashed a bottle.  This looks pretty dangerous.  Why don’t people take care of things?  Especially in a shared place like the private neighborhood waterfront.  This makes us all sad.  

We will stay away from the smokey smell and the glass Mom.  But can we go into the river now?  (Mom Note: Which Sofie did immediately following, without asking, but I was so glad she left the pit alone so  I let it go.)

3.23.13 Caturday: My Bed

 stella march 20

Stella has decided that K8’s bed is now her’s and K8 is her human.  She bothers K8 day and night.  “Play with me!  Play with me!”  I am so happy that she is bonding and building relationships away from her over powering brother, Nine.  K8 took this shot in the morning as they were waking up.

3.22.13 Follow Up Friday: Cakes and Closed Doors

What a week it has been.  The animals, and humans, gave me the best birthday ever.  We ate a lot.  Played a lot.  And cuddled much.  That was perfect.  Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes.  That was so nice.

winter walk 1I am glad to say that I am back to walking my mile with the dogs, even though it hurts.  I am trying to accept that maybe, from now on, my knees are just going to be a constant reminder that I am alive.  As long as the pain can stay on the nagging side and not the screaming side, I guess I will have to learn to deal.  At least no surgery! Louise and Sofie are so happy to be back on the road with me.  And we even are walking with Mojo rising occasionally (Louise’s boyfriend from next door).  

Peanut left last Sunday to go back to school, so of course, Nine ended up locked in her room one night this week mysteriously.  I swear that cats can teleport through closed doors, but it seems they can only go one way; they do not seem to be able to teleport out.  He was around for dinner and snack, but V found him in the morning frantic.  We did not hear a peep all night though.  I do wonder what he destroyed in there (sorry Peanut, I will go check).  

Many blog friends were worried that Noel would hurt Sofie with her menacing glare.  Let me assure you everything is all right.  We have never had a cat to dog fight in this house.  Only cat to cat.  Noel could do some damage if she were to get angry, so I never want to cross her.  

2013-03-17_13-32-09_8Weather has been crazy but we are going down to the water more and more.  The Osprey have returned and their nest is up and ready for the family.  Amazing.  I just read an article that the Bald Eagle population of Maryland has grown tremendously in the area.  I haven’t seen any by me yet sadly, and I am wondering if maybe the Osprey keep them away.  They sure don’t keep the Turkey Vultures away (wish they did).  

Baby Girl croppedBaby Stella has fallen in love with K8 and won’t leave her alone.  She is in her room all the time now.  I think she needs to be separate from her brother Nine, to have any chance at a voice. She did a great job of playing tag on Thursday with Little Binky of AngelWhisper.  

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.

3.21.13 Thankful Thursday: Playing Tag With Little Binky And You

First, we must say thank you Mother Nature for the spring equinox today.  Love Spring Love Love Love Love.

IMAGE$1E37E848143F648D[1]  

And we are thankful this week for AngelWhisper2011. Little Binky and Granny are playing tag with us.  (The dogs especially like to play tag when they can chase cats, so they say a special thanks.)  Binky and Granny have a very special relationship, as Granny has a gift for healing animals and has a special animal that whispers to her from the great meadow in the sky. His name was Angel, when he prowled the earth.  Little Binky is some cool looking cat!

Thank you for playing tag with us.  Our youngest zooling, Baby Stella, will be answering for us today.

Here are the Tag Game rules:

1. Post these rules – Done.

2. Post a photo of yourself and eleven random facts about you – Done below

3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s post.- Done below

4. Create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them.- Done below

5. Go to their blog/twitter and let them know they have been tagged – going, going, tag you are it!!!

Here are 11 random facts about Baby Stella: stella

  1. I sleep in the jungle of plants in Mommy’s bathroom.
  2. I like to eat by myself in the kitten room.  I tried eating in the kitchen with all the other animals, but decided I like to dine alone.  
  3. My favorite spot during the day is looking out the laundry room window.  
  4. When I can sneak into K8’s room, I like to hide on her bed.
  5. Many days you will find me hiding under Mommy’s bed. It is dark and quiet.  
  6. That blond dog, Sofie, chases me even though Mommy tells her not to.  
  7. My brother Nine steals all the toys and hogs everything, all the time.  
  8. I talk to Mommy at dinner time and tell her where I want to eat.  
  9. Mommy thinks I was born in September 2011.  That would make me 1 1/2 years old.   
  10. I eat plants.
  11. I love my family, even though I am shy most of the time.  It is hard being the youngest.

Here are Little Binky’s 11 questions for Stella:

1. What do you prefer, water or milk? – There is no milk in this house, Mommy is dairy free. We drink water only.

2. Do you like rain or snow? – I have only seen it through the window, but I think I would prefer snow.

3. Do you believe in Furry-land? – Are you telling me there isn’t a Furry-land? “MOMMY!!!!! Say it ain’t true.”

4. Do you believe in Angels? –   Of course we do. We have several old souls in the house but not any angels at this time.  Mom says the angels only come if we need special help, but the spirit of our past loves are with us all the time.

5. What do you do if you find a lot of money?  I am not sure what money is, but I would give it to Noel, since she is head cat.

6. When are you the most active and when you are the most laziest inactive?  I am pretty quiet most of the time, but I like to play in the late afternoon and right before Mom goes to bed.

7. What do you do if you had to take care of your own dinner? I am sure that Noel and Nine would help me and together we would catch lots of field mice and maybe even a snake. The dogs tend to eat everything pretty quickly so I think we would have to hide from them.

8. Where would you fly to if you had wings? Not far since I am a home buddy.  I don’t even go up on top of the cabinets like Nine does.  I do like jungles, as I sleep hidden in all the plants in Mom’s bathroom at night.

9. How do you show your affection?  I am a very private cat.  I show affection when Mommy is captive in the bathroom or if there is a snack on the bed.  I like to push my little big human, K8, around by poking her in the face when she is sleeping.  Mom is trying to teach me to be held, but I don’t like human touch very much.

10. What color is your favorite?  Brown (I am a beautiful brown, don’t you think?)

11. What smell is your favorite? FISH

===========================

We love our blog friends so much and we are having trouble deciding who to pick for the game of tag (and it is stressing us out)  sooooooo  TAG YOU ARE ALL IT!!!!:  Please answer the following questions to play:

1. What is your favorite hiding place?

2. If you could talk to your human for 5 minutes in their language, what would you say?

3.  What is your most favorite food?

4. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

5. Do you have a hero?

6.  Do you have a bed time?

7.  What makes you laugh?

8.  What do you do that makes others laugh?

9.  Does anything scare you?

10.  Do you know how to dance?

11.  If you could be any pet blogger, who would it be?
