The Cat Of Cats!
Our magnificent Honey Bunny, aka "Pooter" (1978-1997). A red point Applehead Siamese, she was the cat of cats! Not an ounce overweight, she weighed 17 pounds and was, in the words of our vet, "robust and the biggest female I've ever seen." She even stalked deer! Totally bonded with us, Honey Bunny enjoyed road trips and spending the night in a motel or at my father's house.

LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteOur lives would certainly be less colorful, less intriguingng, less amusing, less charming, and much less enjoyable if we didn't have ou feline friends to keep us company.
To all the beloved kitties who've had to leave us:
"Thanks for the Memories."
Franco,

Nothing can break up a family spat

Yeah - well my little Erica doesn't have an ounce of fat on her either at a whopping 6 lbs (6.1 on her "fat" days.)
ReplyDeletePooter is very beautiful...
All cats are great, some are greater.

Delete'She's Just a Jerk': Brutal Honesty Makes Shelter Cat Internet Sensation
ReplyDeleteCBS 8 [San Diego, CA]
by Travis Pittman
A North Carolina animal shelter says it has received over 100 applications to adopt a mean pet, after they used some brutal honesty in an ad to adopt out what it is calling the "World's Worst Cat." The shelter says it has received so many calls and messages that it is asking people to be patient while they try to get back to everyone. Mitchell County Animal Rescue wrote on Facebook it thought Perdita "was just sick, turns out she's a jerk." Photos of the cat show she has a distinctive stare that just gives the impression she has no desire to be your friend. The shelter says Perdita's likes include . . .
HERE is the kitty.
DeleteWOW! Certainly a UNIQUE variation on the Back and White theme. A bit strange-looking. perhaps, but Perdita doesn't look "mean" to me.
DeleteWhat did you think, AOW?
What a wonderful cat she was, AOW!
ReplyDeleteI'm in LOVE with my Blues....she's perfect.
So many celebrate dogs and scoff cats, but....NOT ME!!
All things bright and beautiful,
DeleteAll creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
1. Each little flow’r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
2. The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
3. The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them ev’ry one:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
4. The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather ev’ry day:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

ReplyDelete(Excellent, Mysterious, Subtle)
I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen,
and see the cat smiling into her fur
as she delicately combs it
with her rough pink tongue.
"Cat, I would lend you this
book to study
but it appears that you have
already read it."
She looks up and gives me
her full gaze.
"Don't be ridiculous," she purrs.
"I wrote it."
