Mancat Monday With Ping

Golden Boy
*****
Mom here.
Just wanted to give everyone a bit of an update.
I have been helping my family with some medical issues.
Lots of Doctor appointments and test.
I haven't been able to get to everyone's blog like normal.
We are looking and reading just not commenting.
Things will get back to normal in a few weeks,
but just wanted you to understand why I've been so sporadic
in commenting.

OoPsIe

Since I had my front canine removed sometimes my lip gets caught. Mom thinks it cute. I think it's a nuisance.

Have a Heart

Have a heart that never hardens,
a temper that never tires,
a touch that never hurts.
Charles Dickens, British novelist

Formerly Feral Friday

Just getting a peek of eyes and ears and a little paws from Miss Gracie.

Now onto an annoying topic:
WORD VERIFICATION!

Oh, yeah,uh huh. I can pretty much make out one word but the other? I'm afraid if your blog is still using Google's Word Verification, especially after this latest generation of Word Verification, you'll probably not see fewer and fewer comments from me. And many others.

I am very sorry. I ab-sooo-lutely hate it.

For those of you who are worried about spammers if you'd just set your Blogger's Settings to 'Moderate Comments after 1 day' you will probably eliminate the spam up to 99.99999% of the time. I did it and I've had perhaps one or two slip by but I just go into Comments and delete them.


I have seen so many comments on blogs that have Word Verification where commentators are saying how horrid this is and guess what?
Those folks who you want to leave comments: can't.
There is frustration.
So after you try a couple of times, you simply give up because the "words" are too hard to decipher.

So...
as much as I adore your blogs if I can't understand the Word Verifications I won't be able to leave you a comment.
Me and a lot of others.

The Basket WITH Pictures

Momma made a boo boo.
She uses Picasa to upload her pictures to Blogger.
Well she forgot to sync the folder with these pictures to the Web.
OOPS!
That means no pictures on the other blog posting which is listed right below this one.
So here I am fussing at her for being so forgetful!

Now it's time for me to check out this basket.

It seems pretty good.

Well maybe I will make myself comfortable.

Hey cut it out!

I can smell you Ping.

Ping and Gracie are checking it out from the back. Go away!!

Awww all is secure now, I can rest. ZzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Basket

Yep I'm trying out the basket.

Gotta check this way first.

Then that way.

Gotta make it comfortable. Wait...

wait now I know someone was there.

Someone IS there!

Go away Ping and Gracie!!

Now I can settle down.

For a good nights sleep.

Lounging

4 out of 5 cats were in this picture!

I found a new scratching box for the kitties.

And as you can see Miss Abby took first shot at it.

Gracie you'd better get lost!

Mom this is all mine, right?

Happy Valentines

Winchester

My best friend 16 year old kitty, Winchester had to make his final trip to the Vet today.

He had been very ill with CRF and had recently been put on epogen to help stabilize his condition and it was doing a very good job of helping him.

This morning my friend found him paralyzed.

They could only rush him to the Vet.

With much love and compassion, he traveled from this world to the one that lies before us.
But his Mom's heart broke to have to say farewell for now.

+++++

Nancy your boy is now sparkling and twinkling amongst the stars. When you look up every night in the evening sky the brightest star you see will be Winchester winking back at you. Just remember he is with Sharky and they are waiting and watching over you. Your boy is now free of pain and needles and he is young happy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge, until your eventual reunion. You did everything you could and more. Give your heart peace knowing that. Love you.

Speak not of death
for there is no such thing
-there is merely a parting of the ways.
I will walk on a little while
and wait for you to count the sum of all your days.
And when you come you'll find me
waiting with shining
eyes and silken well groomed fur.
You'll take me in your arms
just as you used to do
and angel choirs will be drowned out by purrs.
