Tortie Tuesday - Dental Hygiene

I just wanted to remind you all that Dental Hygiene is very important! So it's always good to chew on lots of stuff to keep your teeth "Pearly" white!

ManCat Monday

Man, I know Beins don't like Mondays much, but neither do I. It just means no more quality time with Mommy and Daddy for another week. Sigh...

Floof and Food!

Have I ever told you all that my Mommy's cooking is pretty ok? Well it is! She makes tons of different things and is always trying new recipes to test out on Daddy and us.

The other night Mommy tried out a new recipe and so did I!


It turns out that I am not a fan of Asparagus. I am, however, a fan of licking the olive oil off of it.

In other news, one of the floofiest cats around and our favorite cutie-pie calico gave us this cool award! Thanks Jasper and Tesla!


Here are the rules:
1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog
2. Link the person you received your award from
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs
4. Put links of those blogs on yours, and
5. Leave a message on the blogs that you've nominated

As always, it's hard to think of which kitties to pass this on to... But pass it on we must!

1. The Purrageous Pirates - all of 'em!
2. The beautiful Royal Kitties
3. The funny Furry Kids
4. The always creative Karen Jo
5. Our California friends Kodak, Winton 3 Perf and Blossom
6. Our new Tuxie friend Milo

Hope all you kitties have a really great weekend - we plan on doing our best!

Good Bye Texas

Our friend Texas has gone to the bridge and we're so sad to lose another friend. But Mommy said that she knows that the Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful place.

See, here's the sign for it (so no one can get lost):


And here's the view:


Now we know that we kitties don't like water, but isn't it a beautiful place? We just know that all of our friends are safe, happy and healthy over there.

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Also, we had planned to give this to Texas today:



We got this for all those really cool cats over at the Manx Mnews - thanks Abby, Boo, Gracie, Ping and Jinx! Besides Texas, we'd like to pass it on to every other kitty - you're all brilliant to us!

Wordy Wednesday

I wanted to start by thanking all the super kitties that stopped by and had some fun at my birthday party yesterday! I hope everykitty had a really great time! Mommy and I will do our best to get around to everyone's bloggie as soon as we can.

But now that the celebration is over, Mommy and I wanted to share a little something special about my birthday. Because there's more than just my birthday that we celebrate on September first.

On the first of September in 2005 my sister Purdy went to the Bridge. She had only been really sick for a few weeks, but she was diagnosed with Lymphoma and it didn't take long before she had to go. She was my Mommy and Daddy's very first kitty and all of our family loved her - our Grandpa was so very sad, and our Auntie was heartbroken along with Mommy and Daddy.

One of the worst parts is that Purdy went to the Bridge on our Auntie and Uncle's wedding anniversary. So it made a happy day very sad.

When Mommy and Daddy adopted me in January I was about three months old, so that would have put my birthday somewhere around October. But my Mommy thought that purrhaps it would be better to celebrate my birthday on September First instead. That way the happy day wouldn't be quite so sad anymore, and Purdy's passing wouldn't be as sad either.

Here's a picture of Purdy from a long time ago:

Thanks for listening kitties - and sharing our special day.

Sigh

Well, today is my birthday. But there's no one here to celebrate with me. Mommy and Daddy have abandoned me to go hang out on the beach with George. Plus it's a holiday weekend so I'm sure that most of my kitty friends won't even be able to come over for a house trashing party!

The good news is that Mommy said we can make it up on Tuesday though, we'll do a big party on Tortie Tuesday! So please join us tomorrow for a big party!
