Cats, cats, cats

Micmel -- that cat reminds me of my sweet kitty Simone. She has a very worried face! She is a sentry type who paces from window to window protecting the house. Her ears are a bit like that too!

Oh yeah!

Grace got lots of luvins from her Daddy and me and her siblings. She is officially a 1 year old kitty. Don't exactly know when her actual date of birth was, so we picked today to be it. Her sister, Princess, will turn 5 in about two weeks.

My daughter loves to push her cat around our neighborhood in a stroller - I think her transformation from preteen to crazy cat lady is complete!

My DD babysat for girls whose cat would wear dresses and stay in an open baby carriage for a walk down the block. Her name was Blossom, the chillest kitty I've ever seen.

Elliott.. This is as chilled as he gets. Put a dress near him and NYYYOOOOM

Princess and Grace are mourning the loss of their dog brother Jackson. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning.

They haven’t left me alone for very long since I got back from taking his remains to the vets office. Seems they know he is gone.

M0mmy, sincere condolences for your great loss.

mommyof2,

So sorry about your doggie Jackson, it always makes me so sad to watch our pets look for their lost sibling and then realize they’re not coming back.

My condolences MOmmyof2. So painful.

This cute girl just showed up on our back deck after a major thunderstorm in 2012. She used to bring a fresh kill to our back door every morning so she was obviously an outside hunter. When I took her into the local animal shelter, I was surprised to discover she actually had a chip in her. Both the animal shelter and the local vet tried contacting her previous owner, but incredibly they never got a return call. As a result, we adopted her, named her Sheila, and she's been a happy member of our family ever since, obviously living the Life of Riley. Although she'll sit by the sliding glass door and sniff the outside air, she has absolutely no desire to venture back outside: she must think she now has it pretty darn good as an inside cat!

She’s gorgeous!

Now I have both girls coming up and sleeping on my side of the bed. Princess is using me as a pillow while Grace curls up around my feet.
