Eeeeek! It's not what it looks like. I was stretching and yawning, and Mom took a picture. Those little flashy boxes with stop-action can be really nasty for a girl's reputation.MOM!!!I think something is going to have to die a toothy death.

Mom has been blue for a couple of weeks. And then tornadoes started hitting hard around North Texas and then today in Oklahoma. Two elementary schools raised. Children taken too soon. It makes Mom feel guilty for feeling blue.This is Miss Gray. She has lived in our back yard for three years, at least, maybe more.It took two years to get her to trust Mom and then Dad. Mom took very good care of her. Provided her a shelter and fed her twice a day. You can see how far she has come. She always presented her tummy for scritches.She and Kirby had become good friends. He went outside every afternoon to visit with her.And then two weeks ago, just two days after Mom and Dad came home form a trip, she disappeared. Mom checked the shelters for her,but they have not taken any kitties that look like her. Mom just hopes where ever she is, she knows she was loved.

#Pawties and Events are where anipals and humans get together for a Twitterin’ good time. In their tweets they use an introductory hashtag (#) so everyone who wants to join in the fun can easily find them by searching Twitter for #(fill in the blank) pawty or #(event name). The #Pawties and Events page is where you will find out about the #Pawties taking place on Twitter and where I will point you to the official Anipal Times #Pawty & Events Calendar. Remember to check out the calendar so that you can find the dates and times to mix and mingle with anipals. Now, let’s read about some of the #pawties and events that happened by the deadline for this article (oh, and if you don’t know how to #pawty, don’t worry, I got you covered—just read this). #NipClub Gotcha!: @DylCat1 celebrates at #NipClub Champagne corks popped and streamers flew as #NipClub celebrated this month’s Birthdays and Gotcha Days on Thursday. Celebrating pals included one of #NipClub‘s founders, @MaggieTKat, and @nerissathecat, accidentally left off the Birthday list for April. To everyone’s delight, it was announced that @LeoPussman had finally returned home from vet jail and a special cake had been baked in his honor. There was a poignant moment as the club commemorated the first anniversary of @JinJinDoggy’s departure for the Rainbow Bridge, and on behalf of all #NipClub members Whitney Houston sang I Will Always Love You as pals drank a toast of Rainbowtinis. Special guest at #NipClub: SukiRoo #NipClub also had a special guest this week when @twittinSuki (SukiRoo) arrived to host a quiz and give out some very collectable cat toys from her Etsy store as prizes. There was much giggling as she sent pals on a quest to find the spy kitteh hiding in the store, who eventually announced himself as “Bengal… James Bengal” and was promptly invited to the next secret agent pawty. Glasses and guests were hastily removed to safety as @OtisDoggy resumed his pole-dancing career, but a noticeable improvement in his skills meant that damage this week was kept to a minimum. Another spectacular dance routine came from @NancyCakeFace and @GizmoGeodog, whose request for country music to accompany the Texas Two-Step prompted DJ @Skye613, who had just completed her set, to recall an urgent appointment elsewhere. This had no effect on the Two-Steppers, who were later overheard discussing plans to hold a country pawty. Sekurity has been alerted to the need to confiscate all guns and pointed farm implements at the door. #BlogPawty Signature drink: a #BogPaws Blogtini Pawty-goers were treated to two pawties in one night as #BlogPaws Conference wrapped up with a live link-up, followed by a riotous top-trending #BlogPawty. Pals excitedly watched the timeline and the livestream, eagerly searching for pals they would recognize, or hoping to get their first sight of a human belonging to one of their friends. A line of honor flags paid tribute to those across the Rainbow Bridge, and there were a few tears at the sight of pals well-loved and much-missed. Generosity was in the air as @PetsAddLife gave away two $500 checks as well as a gift bag for all prize winners; @petsmart awarded all prize winners 400 lbs of cat or dog food for the charity of their choice, and #BlogPaws gave ten pet oxygen masks to the Fire Department of Prince George’s County, Maryland. Found: the Dalmatian lost at #BlogPawty To the relief of the pawleece on duty, there was no repetition of last year’s flash mob, when flat pets and plushies twice descended on the Conference, invaded the stage and danced, fleeing before the traumatized pawleece could intercept them. A link to the video of the first occasion began circulating, however, reducing this year’s Conference watchers to hysterics. There was a pawleece emergency of a different kind when towards the end of the pawty a life-size plush Dalmatian went missing. It was feared that the animal, who was not micro-c

Yep, I’m back in the bed now. Although earlier I was out with Ichiro and Mama taking before pictures of the yard. I made sure the plants she has got are all okay. I even tasted some which she was not all that thrilled with but how was I to know what was going on if I did not taste?

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, just an idea for a story to take Aubrey on to the next stagge of his life journey. Glad to be home, glad to have Daddy Kiril home; he tells DElvira and I that Blog Paws was awesome and he has a lot to share about it in the days ahead. Exit Stage Right by Nikita Cat FOR ADOPTION TO GOOD HOME: Senior male cat, of undetermined age, with special needs, looking for forever home; excellent with children and dogs, enjoys gazing out windows and lying next to computers. Has slight limp and signs of early onset arthritis in formerly broken right back leg; otherwise healthy as a horse. Inquire within.-------------------- When Aubrey saw the sign in the window he knew it was time to at last move on. As usual the janitor left the back door open when he tossed the trash… The police and staff totally missed the thank you note on the computer. The Blogs of Kiril Kundurazieff: 1. Mad Macedonian 2.

Click through to see the images. Sometime between 7.30 PM on Saturday, May 11 and 12:00 PM on Sunday, May 12, thieves gained entrance to the business through the ceiling. All in all, the thieves made off with over $15,000 in fish and equipment. Of which, three breeding zebra L046 plecos (Hypancistrus zebra) and one Flagtail fish were among the items stolen. It's interesting to note that the zebra pleco is banned from export from Brazil is currently threatened in the wild due to construction of the Belo Monte Dam in the Xingu river in Brazil, where the fish is found. Due to this threat, several captive breeding programs are working to captively rear this fish. (via Herald Sun News)
