Mine Mommy's backpack always hangs on the doorknob by the front door.
I saw this cool badge pinned to her backpack.
While she was busy doing sumthin', I stole the badge off her backpack.
Why?  Cause I liked it.  Cause I like it!
I can't pin it on my furs of course.  But I can keep it with me here in my cat tree.  
She won't mind.  She has more. 

Lots more.

Some very loud voices today shout with disrespect, with lies,

WASTE NOT ~ WANT NOT

Waste not ~ want not: it's one of those little rules, a good one, to live by.  I try to do so ... like if'n there a little bits of food on the sides of my bowl, or if any happen to fall to the floor, well, I lick them up.  No wasting good food, not me!  Less clean up for mine Mommy, too!  And I'm very good about not kicking my litter out of the litter box.  Oh, I stir 'n' paw it all around very efficiently but kicking it outside where she'd have to sweep it away, that would be wasteful, right?  If it's still good litter, it should stay in the box.

So, not long ago when mine Mommy wasn't posting on my bloggie cause she was trying to set up her new "windows" thing, I had some of my post pictures all ready to go!  But go they did not!  I do plan ahead you see.  So, they're still there in my September folder and I said to myself, don't waste them ... and ...

Today I thought I'd go ahead and share them.  After all, what else would I do with them ... it's Feline Friday (and I'm a feline) and it's Flashback Friday (so it's okay to flashback) ... here's what I would have posted if I could have posted ... meow!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

REMEMBER ME THURSDAY, My Story by JUNE

June at 6-months in her new home.

In early October 2020, when I was 6-months old,

 I came to my new home, my forever home.

I was adopted from Animal Allies Rescue Foundation, Baltimore, Maryland.

It was a new home for mine Mommy, too.  She had just moved to Baltimore one month earlier.

And in March of 2020, the WHO had declared Covid-19 to be a worldwide pandemic.

Mine Mommy chose me.  Chose me without ever seeing me, meeting me,

or holding me.  That's very special.

I meowed I was lucky to have her.  She said she was blessed to have me.

For a very, very long time ~ it was just us, the two of us.

Here we are, four years later, I'm not quite as shy as I used to be,

though it's hard sometimes when new people come around, 

but I'm happy I have a forever home, 

I'm happy I was adopted.

Y'AWW'N MONDAY

Meow!  Hello!

I ate extra cookies 'n' treats.  And hid in the closet a lot.  A whole lot.

Had more window whiffing time.  A wholabunch of naps.

I did miss being here.

I did miss visiting all of you.

I'm sure I missed a lot of fun stuff, too ...

... oh, it feels good to stretch ...

awww ... y"aww"n ...

I wonder if I remember how to do my bloggie after all this time,

I think I need to consult a manual.

Mostly I need to whap mine Mommy for keeping me away from my friends for so long.

AWWW MONDAY

WINDOWS and WINDEX

 Meow.  I came out of hiding just long enough to let you know I am alive and well.

I have deaded a few bugs found in the deepest recesses of my closet,

where I've stayed well hidden (except for meal times) over the past several days. 

Here, on the top floor of my cat tree, where I rarely go,

 I can see that "she", mine Mommy, has been working furiously on this "window" thing.

Now, I really can't explain it all, as I can see just fine through my window.  

But she's moaning-and-groaning about doing some "windexing" whatever that is ~ 

then she said well, that's cleaning-up all the things she doesn't like, 

all the spots 'n' creepy crawlies and stuff

that is here or there or where it shouldn't be

 or wasn't there before or whatever and 

stuff that used to be there but now it isn't there, and ...

I'm thinking it's maybe like those few bugs I found in the deepest

recesses of my closet?  Ya think maybe?

All I know is this kitty girl is going back into hiding for awhile longer,

where it's quiet, safe, stress free.

THAT LAST WILL 'n' FUREVER THING

I'm happy my cat tree has an upper level, I might head up there for awhile ~ or better yet, go off into another fave place, my closet.  You see, I'll be going into hiding for a few days and I'm not sure when I'll be back.  Cause a sweet kitty girl like me just should not be subjected to hearing those ... you know ... bad, bad werdz!

See, I heard mine Mommy talking about doing something with the "windows".  Now at first I was worried she'd be spoiling my view here, which I enjoy so much.   But then she 'splained to me that it was about the "windows" on our computer and I mean to tell you ... anytime she messes with that thing, well, you can guess what it's like around here!  

Good kitty girls go a-hiding.  Get outta her way.  Cover your ears.  Watch your tail.  Furs fly.

So, long story short, meow.  If I survive this event, see you again, sometime, whenever.  

And if not, well I do have a Pawer of Attorney. I just have to decide on who I'll leave my zoolatry bloggie to in those impawtent documents, you know, that Last Will 'n' Furever Thing!  

Like who will take over for me, cause obviously no one will evereverever hear meows from me again ...

SWEET SUNDAY

 

IT'S OFF TO KING TEDDY'S CASTLE KITCHEN ~

First thing this morning, like super early, mine Mommy called for a ZOOBER ...

but then, as it was there waiting for me, I had to hurry back inside ... 

oh noes, I'd furgotten my chef's hat,

and any kitty who is sharing culinary duties in King Teddy's Castle Kitchen

must be properly attired ...

I was really excited that King Teddy had invited me

[and was glad when I got back out to my ZOOBER that no one had taken

the special treats I was taking for him ...].

Soon we were headed south and the next thing I knew,

there we were, together in that oh-so-famous galley, where every

Saturday something mouth-watering gets prepared in the kitchen

of Castle Baconia!

And this day is no different ~ but if you'd like to try this easy and delish

recipe, you'll have to hop over to Teddy's to get it.

So, just put your paws here today and come on over!

~ we might even have a taste-testing ~

TEDDY'S CASTLE BACONIA

Meow, what fun we had together in the kitchen and look what Teddy

gave me to remember our day together!  Meow!

Thank you, Teddy!

THE T-SHIRT

 So! What about cat ladies who are not childless?
So! Mine Mommy gots herself a T-shirt and she put ME on it!
So there!

HAPPY TUESDAY

My Happy Tuesday quote of the day:

"True happiness can be found in the tiniest of things."
   ~ anonymous ~

By the way, I am happy to play with crinkled up paper, even though

I'm still waiting for you-know-who to make me a new tent!

WORK? NOT!

 All play, no work.  It's cat's life.

Labor Day, USA, 2024
