FORLORN FRIDAY

Since the girls "lost their furs" (and their mats and their fleas!) about a week ago, there's been a few changes ... Zoey has suddenly become a lap cat, the minute one sits down, there she is curled up in your lap, seeking warmth and cuddles.  And Miss Mags is in constant search of sun puddles.  One spot where she can count on finding sun is on the bath bench in our bathroom where the sun streams in through ice block from early morning to early afternoon.  I caught quite a few photos of her there the other day ~ but loved this one, taken when she sat up to stretch a bit.  Though looking a bit forlorn, I think she is totally adorable.  Her sweet head seems big!  And now seems out of proportion to her little body (she's just 6-pounds).  The undercoat of her fur is supremely soft and smooth, a creamy pink white.  Her only tortie markings remain on her paws and her head now.  But as the furs grow back, her colour points will return in all their glory.  And don't you just love those furry boots!

THURSDAY IN THE GARDEN WITH JONESIE

It is true, sad, but true.  I am not a gardener.  I always wanted to be part of the Society of Feline Gardeners, but I have "brown thumbs".  (OK, I know, we kitties don't have thumbs, it's just an expression.) I'd rather play in the dirt.  Which is why the ZH does not even have plants inside the house!  But I digress.  If you like to garden (or just pretend to garden) you should check out Jonesie today!  It's Thursday in the Garden with Jonesie.  And with spring just around the corner, she's got quite an offer for you ~ did you know you when you buy your flower and veggie seeds through Renee's Garden, with code FR227A  (which she will tell you all about today) that some of that money goes to help kitties in need!  Isn't that wonderful?  Yes, it is.  Go check it out and grab the link to Renee's Garden!  Just CLICK HERE.

TUESDAY'S TOUGH DECISIONS

MAGGY MONDAY

Pretty Maggy ~ Worth Repeating.

EASY LIKE SUNDAY ~ MEMORIES

An easy Sunday would often find Maggy, curled up on the porch rocking

chair, maybe in a spot of sunshine, a little breeze fluffing her furs.  Her

floofiness would almost fill the chair from side to side.

But that was "before" ... and then there she is ... "after" ... 

what a difference a day makes.

 And along comes Zoey.  A favorite spot for her is curled up

among the pillows of the guest room bed.

Puffed up pillows all 'round a fluffed up kitty.

Now, she is almost disappearing into all the pillows ...

PHOTO HUNT: FLUFFY

Today's Photo Hunt word  ~ FLUFFY ~ must have

been chosen with Zoey in mind!

Here, three of my most favorite fluffy photos of my fluffy kitty.

... but since all that fluff and floof went away a few days ago,
guess I'll have to enjoy fluffy only through these old photos ...

FRIENDS FRIDAY

Feathered Friends.  Feral Friends.  Special Friends.

A trip to the Zoo with the grands is always a special treat.  My granddaughter, age 12,

took these "Feathered Friends" photos and I think she

did a great job of composition, color and detail!  A budding photographer!

Introducing our "Feral Friends".  Fuzzy-wuzzy little Boo Bear and

Bitty, the teeny-tiny black cat are the offspring of Carlacita. 

Carlacita has been our porch kitty for several years, and has had

three litters.  All her kits have been all black, or tuxie's ... and short haired. 

Until Boo Bear came along.  Quite a chubby little ball of fur! 

Both are adorable. 

In the top photo, they share the

cat tree with Lacey, from Carlacita's first litter. 

We've always called her Lacey, but she might

just be Larry, as she's never produced a litter.

And I can't let this day go by without mention of a "Special Friend".
A very special friend ... I've come to know and love over several years.
