Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Thanks Millie





We won the Last Leaf contest over at Millie's blog by guessing the absolute latest date for the last leaf to fall from the tree in her yard.
We had a date well after any of the dates the other contestant cats picked.
Most picked a date in late autumn, but to be contrary and optimistic we picked Dec. 16 and pretty much won by default because there were still some leaves hanging on even then but there was no dates after ours picked.
Our prize arrived from Millie all the way from New Hamster!
Look!
A crinkle ball and fishie that are fun to bat around and pounce.
A bag of chicken Temptations and a bag of treats new to us called Friskies Natural Sensations!
Oh man are those things good. We each got a sample and later when mom wasn't looking Shaggy sneaked in and grabbed the bag off the floor and ran away with it!
These are great Millie!
Thank you!

Congratulations on winning the stubborn tree contest. You got some great stuff. I hope you didn't eat up all the treats after Shaggy ran off with them.

Our official thank you note:

Thank you so much for all the purrs and prayers for our little hansel. It means the world to us- and we truly believe that with everyone in the cb - it's how we got through all of this. We don't know what we'd do without everyone! Hansel is doing very well - walking around, but we did have to put his cone on- as he thinks he should eat his sutures. He is eating, taking meds, drinking, using the litter box, everything is fantastic!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

-mom bean,
and the whole gang!

Hmmm, guys? Purple? I don't think so! First mum has never liked purple for anything other than her birthstone. Purple is not the color of The Colts, its blue. Otherwise mum bleeds Green & Gold.

I certainly hopes you were kidding about purple. If the Vikes had made the Stouper Bowl, she would have been routing for the other team.

But I figured you might be rooting for the Who Dat Saints! But The Colts are mum's favorite AFC team, so she needs to cheer them on!
