A Few of My Favorite Kitty Things

This is a cat statute that my husband is having made for me for Christmas.  I am going to put it in my garden.

This is a 2nd cat statute that we are going to use as a marker for where we bury K.C. in our yard.  We had her cremated, but we have not buried her ashes yet.

A fun felt cat mask.

A copy of a Matthew Ross paper sculpture.  They are just amazing.

And another example.

And this is a felt ipad cover.  You can get it with straps for a purse, or without.  Pretty cool.

If you click on the link under each photo, you can get more of a description of each item, and you can click through to see more of what that artist has created.  I love fun cat stuff!

Wordless Wednesday

Sharing

Tiger:  Hey Motor, what are you up to?  Looks like you are blocking that heating vent so only you can get warm. 

 Motor:  Tiger, what are you talking about?  The heater is not even on.  You don't really think I would do that to you now?  Do you Tiger?  

Mom: Motor...I think Tiger is right. Why don't you share the heating vent with him so he can get warm too.

Motor:  Do I have to Mom? 

Mom:  Wouldn't you want Tiger to share with you?  

Motor:  All right.  I'll share.  But you better remember this Tiger. You're going to owe me for this one.

Mom:  Good boy Motor.  You're a really good boy.

Motor: Thanks Mom.  I am good boy! 

Motor in the Morning

Here's my baby. Motor, the demanding one. Every morning Motor is the first to greet me, with lots of meows and purrs.

Of course, in exchange, there is a lot of petting that he demands from me. Most mornings we hang out together for about 5-10 minutes.  I sing to him songs that I make up,  about how special he is to me and how loved he his.

And I remind him that he is my morning sunshine.

And this is the look I get in return.  Pure love.

Just a Short Update

It has been over a month now, and Smokey still hasn't been seen.  I look for her everyday.  I've walked my neighborhood, calling her name, I have called her from my yard repeatedly, and no Smokey.  I have even questioned some of my neighbors to see if they have seen her.  No luck there.

For a few nights, I even thought I heard her meow outside my bedroom window.  I quickly opened the window and called for her, but she was not there.

I miss her.  She was a sweet cat and part of The Very Best Cats' family.   I only hope she is OK, where ever she may be. 

Merry Christmas from The Very Best Cats (and Jack)

Tiger: It's that time again.  When Mom and Dad think it is a good idea to dress up one of the "kids" for a Christmas photo.  In years past, it was usually K.C. who was unlucky one.  She was just too easy going.  I don't think she knew the deviousness that was approaching her as Mom and Dad picked her up with that fuzzy red thing.

Sadly, this year K.C. passed.  But lucky for her, she would not have to go through the humiliation again. 

Then Mom and Dad found a Santa suit for Jack.  Ha ha ha I thought!  That was going to be funny.  Jack would have to take the photo this year.  That's what happens when you are the new guy Jack.  Motor and I will get to sit back and laugh.

But alas, the darn suit was too small for Jack.  One by one the choice was narrowing down.

Then it seemed that Motor  had to be next, right?  Since I am senior cat around here, I deserve a certain amount of respect.  But Mom and Dad couldn't get near Motor.  Motor ran to his secret hiding place, and then it came down to one.  Me.

So while I am resting on Mom's bed, Dad brings in that darned suit and decides that he will see if it fits me. He puts my front legs in the sleeve holes and I can't move. It was like being in a straight jacket. He tells Mom about how cute I look and then he races to get the camera. Click...and here is their Christmas photo for the year.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

The Very Best Cats would like to wish all our kitty friends and their Moms and Dads, a  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.    

One Day

This is a video that my husband sent me from You Tube. It has a strong message that reflects how I feel about our world, and all of us in it. The song is named "One Day" and the artist who sings the song is Matisyahu. It is just beautiful, the words and the images. Take a look...
