Picture Monday, May 11, 2009; No Notgeld, Only Cats

Notgeld got mad last week and didn't come to the party. It found out that I left out #15. To make up for this I was able to get some pictures of Peanut. You may remember that I left her out of last week's cat spread because she refused to come out of hiding.

In the first picture Peanut is in the chair on the left. I looks like she is getting ready to surprise Boo and Puss. Peanut is also helpful in keeping the router held in place. Bristow sits on the router while Peanut uses it for a pillow.

I'm not sure who this is. I found it while going through my files and thought it was interesting.

Meet The Cats

After posting about Angel Cat I was thinking about the other neglected cats at our house.

HMMMM!!! I thought to myself, "Have I ever posted pictures of all the cats at one time on the blog?"

I then answered myself (Which is very Bad!), "I don't think so!"

So, here we go.

Tabby, also known as "The cat with glowing eyes."

Rory, a cat with attitude. And it's not real good. Just ask the others.

Puss. He's my baby. He's laid back like me. Can't ya tell?

Callie. Another cat with attitude. You can see it in her eyes.

Bristow. Handy to have around in case you need something to sit on top of the router.

Boo. He was working on his Mesmerizing routine when I took this picture.

Peanut. There is no picture of Peanut. She would not cooperate. She's that way.

Cat On A Warm Asphalt Composition Shingle Roof

I got home from work today and saw something different on the roof. It was Angel Cat. Fortunately for her it was not a roof of the "Hot Tin" type.

How she got on the roof I'm not sure. I left her there because I figured she could get down in her own time. I also left her because I couldn't reach her. Good reason huh?

The pictures I have for today are a few I have snapped in the past several years of some animal friends.

In 2001 we visited Colorado. While visiting the Air Force Academy we came across these deer above.

In 2002 I had to go to a meeting in Galveston. I decided to ride the Bolivar Ferry across to the Bolivar Penninsula. While on the ferry I found these seagulls hitchhiking across also.

Looks like we were late for dinner and the guests were waiting.

This is Ferdy. She was my little Easter duck I got in 2004. She made her home on the back porch then and was faithful to leave an egg for me each day.

One afternoon in 2004 I heard a scratching at the window. I looked and saw a baby squirrel climbing the screen. Seems she got caught and needed some help getting off.

This is Peanut. She got the idea that the router was a pillow and would spend hours sleeping on it. Later she moved to the cable converter box and set up shop there. Now that it is cold outside she has moved by the heater. Seems like she is on an endless quset to find the perfect spot to stay warm.

Picture Monday, August 11, 2008

I have sad news to report today. Sunday afternoon the small kitten which Jess found in our driveway, and which Julie had undertaken the task of nurturing passed away yesterday. Julie had reported late yesterday morning that she had noticed that the kitten was having labored breathing and did not appear to be interested in the formula. It was a very sad time around the house when the little one died and it hit Julie very hard because she had devoted the the most part of the last four days to its care. I know that it is no consolation to Julie now, but I was very proud of her for the love and care that she gave the kitten. I know that even though the kitten died, its death was much easier than if it had been left to the heat and other dangers.

In honor of this little one, I have posted a few pictures of some of our other beloved pets that we have "lost".

The two pictures above were of Snowy. He was our Maine Coon Cat that Julie got when she was in the first grade. He died 3 years ago.

The two pictures above are of the three ducks that we got several years ago at Easter time. The two darker ducks died after several months. The yellow duckling was Ferdy. She grew up to become a beautiful white duck. Ferdy lived for more than a year but died shortly after we moved to Waco.

This picture was Molly, my Black Lab. We got her as a pup in Dickinson. She saw many moves and was a trooper. She passed away after 14 years.

Cool Kitty Pix

I have posted the pictures of our new kitten on my other blog, Visions of My World. I invite to follow the above link to the blog and pictures.

By the way, the newborn appears to be doing fine. The biggest challenge has been keeping up with its toileting needs since those functions are not fully functional yet.
