Just Hanging Out

 Hanging in the living room 

with mom while our

power is out.

Apparently a transformer blew

on the main road 

knocking us out of 

power for two hours.

We are not used to all that

silence cause mom usually

has the tv or radio going.

She was not even singing to 

us like she does...

And believe me, we 

are just fine with that.

Critters out and About

 Mom went to visit a 

friend yesterday and when 

she pulled in the drive

to see four bunnies 

playing. 

Pam, Sherri and I stood

at the front door watching 

them and my phone was

in the car!

LOL...

But upon leaving Pam's home

mom spotted ten, yes 10

deer. All female, there were

no bucks. 

Just about a small block

down the road and 

around the curve, mom

spotted a turtle,

making his SLOW way

across the street. 

Now what do you think mom 

did? Okay, so you know

her pretty well...

she parked and picked up

the turtle. Thank goodness,

she did not pick it up and put

it in the car, she moved it

across the street, in 

the direction it was already

headed. Mom said that she

read someplace that if you 

move one out of the street,

take it in the direction it

was headed. 

Mom said that she was saving the

turtle but the turtle

hissed at her. She did not

care, she wanted it out of the

road. She also told us that

this was the 2nd one in about

a month that she rescued.

Way to go mom....

and thanks for not bringing

these critters home.

The Moth

 Okay Lily, 

where did that moth

go?

The Whole Bunch of Cats

 Mom has been going 

over to Uncle Mark

and Aunt Kim's to 

feed since Tuesday before

last. Uncle Mark was 

in NC training and Aunt Kim

was working....

today was her last day.

Mom laid down on the 

bed to love on Smokey and 

Smokey turned the tables

and loved on mom.

Smokey is like me, 

a Russian Blue.

Mom and Becky AKA Zora

used to be the best of friends.

But she took a turn and 

the other day she tried

to go out and mom told

her NO. She hissed at mom. 

Becky is a solid black cat.

This is Zuzu, mom says that 

she is the reason that mom

got Lily, then me.

Zuzu is a tortie.

You saw a pic of Bubba the 

other day. Mom picked Bubba

up and wow, she said he

weighted a lot.

This is one of the feral.

Mom said that he has

a Simba face. I am not

sure what that means

but I think mom would know.

Another feral.

There are three orange 

feral cats. The two lighter

ones are Vitamin C and 

Vitamin D and the darker

one is Tony Tiger. 

The orange ones are

from Mama Cats litter, 

the one before Bubba.

Here are a few of the feral.

Not sure why but mom loves

that one that is looking 

at her, Maine Coon.

Mom just loves all these

cats. She explained to me

that a feral lives

outside. I am glad I am 

not feral. 

I love living in the house

with Lily, Chey and my

mom.

Misty

Smokey

 Mom has been leaving 

everyday through the

week to take care 

of her fur

nephews and nieces.

Aunt Kim is working

and Uncle Mark is 

in NC training.

So to keep them on

a schedule mom has

been going to feed.

This is Smokey.

Yep, you have met him 

before. 

Mom said that Smokey is

an adult version of

me!

 

She said Smokey has the 

same type of

personality.

Sweet (moms word), 

reserved, and serious.

I think I would like him.

Misty

Spotted Bubba

 Its been awhile since 

mom has posted about 

Bubba.

Bubba is moms fur nephew. 

He is the offspring

of 

Momma cat,

her last litter. 

Bubba and his brothers were

brought in and

socialized. Aunt Kim found

him a home but it did not work

out so he lives with

Uncle Mark and Aunt Kim.

Unlike me he is spotted

and I have stipes. 

Anyway....just wanted you 

to see Bubba again.

Lily

Chickens and Me

 

Mom don't have 

chickens but she knows

several folks that do...

She thinks these memes

are funny.

She called this

Chicken Soup.

This is just not right.

Me chilling on the deck.

Chey

Cuteness

 Mom just can't seem to 

get enough of my

cuteness!

She says she loves the way

I lay on my back 

with my paws tucked

like they are.

Lily

Surgery, Selfie, Heart and House

 

Friday evening Amber

called me on her way

home from work. She told

me that she was hurting and had

been all day, below her

belly button and  

down her left side. 

Around midnight her hubs, 

Will had

to take Amber to the ER.

Test were done and she was

moved from the ER to another

hospital in the next county cause

the ER does not do surgery. 

Amber needed surgery.

Her appendix was huge with 

a stone that was almost the 

same size, plus the appendix

had flipped. Emergency surgery

was needed, within the hour.

I got dressed and I head

to Dickson. They had taken down

to surgery about 10 mins before I 

got there. I sat with  Will. 

Amber was in surgery about 45 mins, 

then the doc came to talk to 

me to tell me that Amber

did well. They were able to 

remove the appendix by a scope.

Three incisions and instead

of stitches they used glue. 

Amber was in recovery an hour

and then back to her room.

I took Will to lunch while Amber

rested then I spent a while with her.

Here I sit waiting for them to 

bring Amber back to her room.

Look at that gray, all over

the place hair! lol...

This was Friday at the venue 

during photography time of

the bride and groom.

While walking the venue I looked

down and saw this heart shaped

leaf. 

Pic below is my older home

that I sold last yr. I owed

the side with the red door. 

I sold this place for 150,000

exactly two yrs ago this month.

The guy that bought from me has

put it up for sale, asking price,

275,000. That is how homes are

going in TN these days. 

I understand from my friend

who sold the house for me that

it was up for sale and it did not

pass inspection plus the family

could not get the loan. So now 

apparently having work done

to try and sell again. 

Pam

Bored with the Basket

 

Bored!

Mom will not let us 

go out on the deck. 

So, I just took up space in 

this basket that mom had

out.

After a nap, I stretched.

Basket life, the best.

Lily

Bop on the Head

So check us out.... 

Don't think this is a friendly

thing, I had just bopped

Misty on the head when

mom came out. 

Now mom wants me

to ask dad at 

Brian's home if they

have any problems with 

the furs getting along?

If so what do you do?

The pheromone 

plug in thing did not 

work.

Lily

Stuffed in Carrier and Man Handled

Been really hot at our house,

outside and in. Mom is not

letting us on the deck cause it

is so hot and she is

trying all sorts of things

to keep us cool in the house.

Something to do with a broken

air unit.

Even with it being hot, I 

was trying to  tell mom 

something cause I don't usually

get on her much like this

in the summer. 

That was not working so I had

to show her another way....

I peed in an empty litter box.

She was a little alarmed cause

it was just a drop and it had pee in 

it. I did this right in front of her.

Well, if it was not enough to be

feeling bad mom put me in 

a carrier. I was not happy about this

process so she put me in 

a clothe bag to hold my back

legs still. Then she stuffed me in 

the carrier. Not sure what

that was all about but then

she put me in that large red

moving thing that she goes 

off in all the time. When that

ended she took me in this

place where there was a cat that

was just roaming around and a 

couple of dogs on leashes. 

THEN....I was man handled by

people. I don't like people and 

they were touching me, sticking things

in me and then saying I needed

to take meds.

Something about UTI.

Mom brought me home then she

man handled me sticking stuff

in my mouth. Two things, but

they really did not taste bad 

and she said I did an amazing job

taking my meds. 

Two days of meds and 

I am starting to feel better.

Thanks mom,

Misty

 

Not Telling Mom

 

Oops....mom 

is not sure who did this and 

played with her crafting

jute!

And we are not telling

but it looks

like Lily is being 

framed!!

Chey

House Chilling

 

Hi.....we are just chilling

in the house.

Saturday Morn Deck Time

Our morning started interesting, never

dull. Mom went out with her

coffee before six am and saw visitors

to the yard.

That family of three

skunks actually turned out

to be a family of five.

Mom did not get a pic.

However, after filling the 

hummingbird feeders 

and the regular feeder

mom looked up and 

saw three deer

entering the backyard. 

These two entered the 

neighbors yard right

behind us first and 

this one was lagging behind.

He will one day be

a big buck.

Since mom had the 

camera out she

took pics of 

us, the furs.

This is me, Chey.

Misty, who will only

visit the deck if mom 

is on it. 

And here is Lily Bit. She has

claimed this chair with 

the throw on it as hers.

While sitting out

with us the cardinal

came to say 

good morn.

Along with some

finch, and the hummingbird.

All feeders are filled

and the feather friends

should be happy.
