Whale, Kitten in Fridge, Lily Chilling

Mom thought this was beautiful.

(photo from FB)

Two years ago, Tahlequah the Orca carried 

her dead calf for 17 days, pushing the small

 body up with her nose and preventing it from 

sinking. For 1,000 miles. Now, NOAA drone 

images show she is pregnant again.

Not just the story but the heart on

her back. Amazing.

I was sitting on the couch with

mom the other night and she saw

this pic below on FB. She said

she sure was glad that Lily

did not go that.

But since I LOVE to eat, she

glad even more that I did not

do it.

Mom and I were watching tv

that same night and Lily came in 

the room to be with us. She got

on the chair to view the us!

Then mom said she was sending

us kitty kisses. 

Sweet!

Visitor Gone, Ferals

I know mom was getting 

tired and even though

she loves all the critters

she was taking care of...

she is glad Mark and 

Kim are home.

They came home on Monday

but mom kept Zu till Tuesday

morn. She kept Zu another night

so that Smokey could hang

out last night with Mark

and Kim, roaming the 

house. Someone on here

stated they could not 

wait to hear about Smokey

roaming the house. 

Mark and Kim knew cause

mom texted them and let

them know...haha

Here is Zu giving mom

loving last night.

Mom loves this cat.

I don't know why she is 

a witch mom said.

This is one of last yrs litter

from momma cat. This one

was too little to be fixed last

yr so mom and uncle Mark

are going to catch him, his

brother, momma cat and hopefully

the kittens from the new litter

to have them fixed next week.

Isn't he pretty?

This is the feral Maine Coon.

Mom says she loves him too.

Scar....

Kim and Mark named him that cause

last yr he had the whole side of his

face scared  up. Someone must have

catch him and took him in cause he

was gone for a bit and when he came

back he was healed.

He don't come around much

but since he is the only orange

cat and the kittens are orange

he is prob the baby daddy!!

So....time to do some catching!

Seven cats need fixing!

Check out this pic mom found

on the internet.

I am glad that cat in the den,

Zu is gone home.

Roaming Wild and Not Roaming Wild

Mom said she is wearing out

and will be glad when Mark

and Kim come back to town

tomorrow. BUT, she also says

how much she loves the critters. 

I think we explained 

that they

have three indoor cats.

Zu, that is staying

 with us. But

normally roams the house.

Becky, has the roam of 

the house also.

Then there is Smokey. 

He came 

to live with them after living

outside their place about

6 months. Like Becky it 

was a given that he had been

someones pet so Mark and 

Kim brought him in. He lives

in one bedroom cause Zu will

not allow him to come out. She

jumps him every time.

Well, mom told Kim that she 

might had done an OOPS. 

Cause she has been letting 

Smokey out to roam the house.

He is normally an inside outside

cat but mom thinks he should just

be indoors but with that he would

never be able to roam or run in 

one room. He has enjoyed his

time out. Mom will hang at the

house for 30 to 45 mins while

he enjoys his time. 

So with that mom might

have started something. She

said he refused to look at her

(pic above) when she told him

he needed to go to his room.

Mom has suggested that maybe

part of the day Zu stay in the room

and Smokey roam then 

change it up.

Or do it on different days....

OOPS....mom you might have

messed up!

As for Lily and I, of course

we are spoiled. We have the 

roam of the house. Well, Lily

more then me. You see 

mom keeps

a baby gate at the top of the 

stairs and the guest room cause

if she is not here and I don't want

to hold what I need to do, I go to

those two rooms. Mom stopped

that really fast. Now she puts 

pads down if she is going to

be away for a bit. 

Lily however she can just

walk through the bars on 

the stair rails to go down

stairs and she jumps over

the one to the guest room. 

NOT FAIR.

Mom keeps telling me that 

Lily needs to teach me how

to go to the bathroom in 

that BOX! Really?

Here is a pic of Lily and 

I veggie out with mom 

on the couch Saturday 

night. 

I guess I am pretty lucky,

mom says that some dogs sleep

outside at night.

First Kitty Love

I am not really hard how

I feel about this but 

mom says that Zuzu 

is her first kitty love!

Here is mom laying down

in the den with Zu getting

some special loving.

Mom says she eats this up cause

I will not love on her like this!

But on the flip side I am only

part Tortie and not full like 

Zu, I don't turn WITCHY on

a dime!

Mom says that she can be loving

on Zu and BAM she turns!

I rather be me and not be so

loving, cause at least I know

I have never hissed at my mom,

or slapped at her.

Happy to be ME,

Lily Bit

Bubba Leroy

As if mom hasn't gone off

the deep in with so many

cats in her life right now

she went to visit a friend

and her cat, Bubba Leroy!

I feel so out numbered.

Chey

The Cats...Everywhere

Oh mom has been so busy....

really busy.

Not only is she caring for

Chey, Zu and me at the house

she is also been going in the

morning and the evening to

feed at Mark's house.

Here is who she is feeding

there.

This is Smokey. Mom says

he is a sweet and loving guy.

Below is Becky.

And this is just some of

the feral.

This is one of the new

babes born in the spring.

Like her mom, bob tailed.

Two of the babes.

That is mama cat with the only

babe that looks almost like her.

Mama cat had five babes. One

did not make it. Three are orange

and this one is a gray color like

mama. Two orange ones have

bob tails, the one like mom

has a bob tail and one orange

has a regular tail. This one in

the pic with mom is a male.

Mom said it was easy to tell with no tail, its

a tell tell sign! haha

Two orange look like female

and the one with the tail...

no clue.

Anyway....mom has been

hopping around.

Our Visitor

Well we have had a visitor 

since Monday morning staying

at our house, living in our

den. Her name is Zuzu.

Mom said Zuzu is the reason she

has Lily. Zu is moms first cat love.

She was found under a shed, 3 weeks

old. She is about five now. 

Mom fed her with a bottle and

she belongs to mom's brother, Mark.

Mark and Kim have gone to Fla. 

and since Zu rules and picks on 

their other cat Becky, mom said

she could come stay in the 

den. 

Mom goes down and plays with her

through the day. Mom tried to introduce

Zu to Lily. Zu hissed really big at Lily

so she wants nothing do with Zu. 

Not only is mom caring for Zu, 

she is going everyday, twice a day 

to Mark's house to feed. She feeds

Becky and Smokey in the house and 

ten feral cats outside. 

That is on top of taking care

of Lily and I also. 

My mom loves animals.

Chey

Cool, Tortie and Cave Crickets

Oh mom it is so hot

outside but....this

is really cool!

Mom read this on FB, and 

laughed. She shared it with 

her SIL who has a Tortie!

Mom also told her that

Zuzu was full Tortie and 

thank goodness that I was only

1/2 Tortie.

I missed this

🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻

Cause mom don't let me in the 

garage that much but I would

have had a ball hunting cave

crickets. 

Wow, I missed that fun.

Lily Bit

The Lizard

I keep my mom hopping!

The other day she walked thru

the hall and saw me sitting in 

the floor looking under the 

liner closet door.

She knew, she knew that I 

had to have brought something

in. She was right!!

A baby lizard came onto

the deck and I caught it

and brought it in to play

with. Only it got away

and ran into the liner

closet. 

Mom took everything out

but I knew it was in the box.

I could SMELL it. 

But I never did find it.

I looked and looked

for it for an hour.

I have no clue where it went.

Lily Bit

Note from mom~

Yes, Lily Bit did bring

another lizard into the house.

If you are counting this is 3!

It was in the box but while she was

checking the closet I shook

it out, put a cup over it, slid

a piece of paper under the cut

and took the little babe outside. 

Yes, I blew her mind again cause

she looked and looked for 

that lizard for a while. 

This makes a frog rescue

when I lived here before

buying the house. It had come

in on moms plants that I took

to the den before fall. Lily found

it in the winter months. This is the

one that I put in the bathroom 

so Lily could not get it cause

I knew it would not survive if

I moved him out. But come spring

I put him out. 

RESCUE.

Then Lily had brought two 

big lizards in since we moved

here. One was a rescue that 

Lily did not know I took out.

One was not a rescue, it went

down the vent in the bathroom

floor....OOPS.

There was the bird rescue

and then yesterdays rescue.

She has to stop bringing

critters in! haha....

Thanks for checking 

on the babes!

Hot, Hot, and more Hot

Yesterday it was really

HOT!

I tried the deck 

several times but

I usually ended up here.

Mom went looking for me and 

found me and Chey

in the bed. Cause

I spent most

of the day here, the

bed did not get made. 

HAHA...its really

HOT 

out on the deck again

today. Mom just ran me

indoors, said it was

way to hot to be out.

I went back to bed only

mom beat me to it, and 

she made it this morn.

Oh well, stay cool.

Lily Bit

Early to Rise, Nap to Come

Yesterday morn Lily did her

regular wake up call for mom.

I stayed in bed.

Mom got up at 5:45 with Lily Bit

and she did what she normally

does and laid back on the couch.

That is where I found her a little

later. And I curled up next to her.

Around 7:30 Lily Bit came in 

off the deck and curled up

too for a nap.

Not sure what that look she

is giving me is all about but

hey....we napped a bit and

mom got up.

Chey

The Special Spot

This is my special spot on 

the deck. 

Mom keeps it cleared of stuff

so I can go up there and lay.

Mom was sitting out with me 

till the heat kicked in (9:45). She

says it makes her stitches itch and

it is going to be a really HOT day

today. If it gets too hot I will go

in also. But right now, mom has

a fan on, and its blowing right

on me!

Okay, yes, I admit it, I 

am spoiled!

Right before mom went in 

she took another pic of

me in my fave spot.

Hoping you all stay cool,

maybe your mom will 

put a fan on you!

Lily Bit

What?

What Mom, did
you call my name?


Lily Bit

Napping

Mom apparently checked the 

deck and realized I was not

out there so she came

to the guest room checked on 

me.

I was comfy!!!

Mom finds it funny that my

back half is laying on my back,

but the front half is laying on 

my side! All twisted up!

I usually nap in the guest

room and some nights

I start out in here at 

bedtime. I was not happy

about having Amber and 

Will sleeping on my bed

the other night but its okay

I guess, cause they are gone now.

Lily Bit

The BOYS and Amber

Hey Chey here...

Mom got a quick shot of 

me licking my face yesterday 

morning. 

She was waiting for Amber to come

take her off somewhere. 

Anyway, I LOVE AMBER.

You see when I was just a baby

Amber adopted me.

I lived with her for about

three years maybe. I actually

had some babies of my own

when I lived there.

But my mom, my other mom

before this mom let me live

with her when Amber moved

to an apartment. 

The two younger boys, 

Braden and DJ were just

babies themselves when I 

lived with them. But I loved

Caleb and Amber the best!

Amber, Will and the boys

all stayed with us yesterday

when she got home, stayed the

night and most of the day today.

I was thrilled to see them.

Lily however was not happy.

She had NO RUNNING fit

last night, her and mom did 

not play hide and seek and she

tried her best to stay away

from Braden, who is a big

animal lover and could not 

understand why Lily would not

let him hold her.

She is so happy to have them gone!!!

Morning at the House

This is how mom's morning usually

goes.

Lily will wake her around 5:00,

5:30, sometimes 6. she either does

it sitting at the side of moms bed 

with a meow. Other days she will

jump up on the other side of the bed

and run across mom. Either way, mom

gets up.

Most days mom getting up is 

her rolling out of the bed and 

standing there a min to adjust

and getting her body to play

pretty. While this is taking place

Lily sets at the bedroom door waiting.

Mom walks to the door and Lily 

takes off walking in front of her.

When they are in the hall lily

turns to the bathroom figuring

that will be moms first stop.

She waits.

Leaving that room they finish 

the last little bit before the 

two steps going to the living room.

Around the stairs to the dining

room and to the stand where

Lily's dry food is kept. 

Lily jumps up there

and head butts the container

where the food is stored.

Even though food is in the

bowl Lily being a cat requires

it to be filled. So mom does that.

While Lily is TESTING the 

dry food, mom unlocks the 

back door, checks to be sure

the deck screen is shut and 

locked and she leaves the 

door slightly open. 

Mom then heads to the 

couch. Curls up with a 

throw and turns on 

the local news. Not sue

why she turns on the TV

cause she is asleep really

fast. 

I have seen all this before but

lately I wait a bit before I 

jump down from the bed. 

When I do, I head to the 

couch with mom. Lily is 

normally on the deck by 

this time.

Then around seven Lily

is tired of deck time and she

usually comes in and curls

up with mom and I.

Pic below was taken Wed.

when mom woke up with 

Lily Bit coming to lay

with us. She had laid

down with her phone so 

she had it with her. I actually

think that camera is part of

moms body!

I am comfy on my end of the couch.

Lily is curled up behind moms legs

and laying on moms foot. Know 

wonder that woke mom cause 

NO ONE touches moms feet!

Normally after the seven am 

(second wake up call) mom 

gets up and moving. Lily 

gets up also and she goes in 

and out all day!

This is morning life

at the Jackson's home.
