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.

We're Orphans


The people are leaving us!
More importantly, MOM is leaving us!
Dad goes away all the time on business trips and golf boondoggles with his buddies, but Mom never leaves us!
This time the golf guys are taking their wives, going to get away from the snow for a four day stay at a resort in Arizona.
Mom is hoping for upper 70's maybe 80. She says her eyes are winter sore and her bones are winter weary and she's tired of always being cold. It's true, her feets are always icy. They never seem to warm up. Tucson can be tricky weather-wise this time of year but lately its been warm during the day. She hopes it lasts.
She's lost 40 pounds last year and has a new size 8 swimmy suit she wants to use to bask in the sun and soak in the hot tub.
They will be back Sunday evening, and the nice teenage girl across the street will come to play with us and brush us and most importantly feed us!
Any kitty who would like to keep us company is welcome to teleport on over while they're gone.

Oh it sounds like they are going to have a lot of fun, but it stinks that they are leaving you! And wow tell your mom we are impressed with the willpower to loose that much - Lola had to loose a pound and that was tough!

We will teleport over to play for a while - and we think that the house trashing party sounds like a great idea!

I'm sure Maggie will teleport over during the day and visit Scout. I'm glad you have a little girl across the street who will come and spoil you.

Have fun in the sun. Concats to your mom on the weight loss, but stop sending your extra pounds this way. We have enough already. We'll be over for snuggles later.

Sounds wonderful...I'm sure the resort has a cat spa, though.

Enjoy the kittysitter. They are always fun, cause they don't get tired of playing with you!

My mom says Wooo-Hooo to your mom for her new size! She thinks that is so cool. I don't get it, food is the best.

Hope you guys are all OK with the new batch of snow. We watched on the moving picture box when they showed the snow breaking through the dome ! Cool!
