Cats

Furr-ends! I entered another contest and this one, as of Tuesday, ANYONE CAN VOTE FOR ME! It's from a local grocery store we use, and they have a contest for Top Dog and Coolest Cat. The store is Coburns. The only link we have for the contest so far is http://cobornsdeliversblog.com/pet-photo-contest-rules/ Top winners will receive a $500 Coburn's gift certificate and the Shelter of their choice will receive one too. (that means if I win, Feline Rescue does too!) Runners up get a $100 gift card and if you vote, you can win a $50 gift card (it would be nice if you sent it to Feline Rescue in St. Paul).I think I'm the Coolest Cat:Don't you? Voting starts TUESDAY May 21st and ends May 30th, and you can vote one time each day! Please won't you vote for me (and my friends at Feline Rescue)????? $500 would give Feline Rescue, where I found my mommy, lots of kitty litter and/or kitty food.!Now for regular news. Yes, mommy left a shelf for me in the linen closet! It has been raining a lot here. Mommy goes to the clinic tomorrow, but she will be back by lunchtime. She's been trying to get a good picture of me on my shelf, but they turn out dark (well, I am a black and white cat) if she can get me at all!Coburns is coming in just a while to deliver our groceries (and, yes, my Purina One), so I will sign off.Love you all,QUINN

AYLA: Iza an Marley are outside, so Im doing the Easy Sunday Easy myself today. I sure like the bloo blankies, but this extra towel is special-colorful! I'll allow that today. Sometimes, "fancy" is good. And who doesnt like an extra softy towel on the pile?

Look, I know how to take it easy.Mom, not so much.All this stuff is in the bottom shelf of the kitchen cupboard.See now nicely it fits? When the stuff is in the bins, it's easier for Mom to get at it. So that shelf is finished.Did Mom stop there?Nope. She washed four windows.She planted pansies and geraniums, waving petunias,lobelia and verbenas.She mowed the lawn, went food hunting, did the washing machine shuffle, washed all the dishes, and paid all the mister bills. The house is neat, although the rug sucking monster hasn't made an appearance yet.However, Mom HAS been watching the tennis in Rome (right now Nadal and Federer are battling), and she has been doing some sewing in her studio.It's still a good day for both Mom and me.

Princess Ashlyn here,This morning, when Bob was getting our treats ready, he opened up the first bag and started shaking it so us kitties would know it was treat time. I came running in as soon as I heard the first shake and a treat flew out of the bag and landed right in front of me. I didn't want to get in trouble, so I looked up at Bob, but he just smiled and said; "Looks like you get a extra treat this morning Ash."*smile*

I think I'll go outside for a while....and just smile...take in the clean fresh air....

Today is day 19 of a challenging creative journey; the Story a Day Challenge made by Marian Allen on her blog . My month long series begins here:         No prompt today, really, just a bit of unfinished business between two survivors. Payback by Nikita Cat The old French Mastiff was brought in by his owner one morning in the summer of ’04 and the receptionist could have sworn that Hadrian gave out a meow of surprise as if he KNEW the poor dog. His owner said that King wasn’t as old as he appeared, though he WAS old. He was a rescue from the fighting life a decade ago. It was just his time to go and he hoped they would do it. The Doc said it was weird; the dog licked Hadrian’s face and Hadrian licked his nose until he slipped peacefully into death.   The Blogs of Kiril Kundurazieff: 1. Mad Macedonian 2.

I sent the mumster off to work again today, so I got to have a day by myself napping on her bed. Mum had some photos, but her computer won't load them again. Now that work is over, mum has attempted to do some tidying up, and has put the dinner on. It's a steak and onion pie, with parsnip/carrot/swede mash and some peas for her - some beef feast for me.She finished watching a DVD she had from the library. It was Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. She says it is a chick movie about female friendship, and the movie was a solid 3/5. She loved the book, one of her favourites She has a great pile of books to read, and lots of things to watch on the DVR, which is good when the rain is forecast and the winter is all around us.We hope you are all enjoying your Sunday evening, relaxing and eating some good noms.
