My View is Gone!

This is what I could see when I went on our screen porch. I could see the grass, the birds and bees, all my lizzard friends and anything that dared to come into my yard. I really loved my screen porch. It was warm and sunny in the summer and cool during the winter. Sometime is got too hot and sometimes it got too cool but most of the time it was just right.

Then one day the woman got a crazy idea. Why don't we enclose the porch and make it a guest room so that peoples who visit could sleep there. Although I protested, cause I slept there just fine, she went ahead with her evil plan and deconstructed my beautiful sunny screen porch.
See what she done . My porch is now a room with a view! Although she remembered I likes to look outside and putted in lots of windows - my screen porch just ain't the same.

Mom here: Stray Kitty spends more time in the room now than he did before we enclosed it. It's much nicer and we added a daybed so that both he and Midnite can take their pick of that or the small couch. We did not ignore that they like to look out windows and put in four so there would be no fighting over which one got which window. They even have their own TV so they can watch "Animal Planet" whenever they want. I should have it so good!

Celebrating Nanny

Today, January 18th, would have been our sweet Nanny's 87th birthday. We really miss her. She was really a nice lady and always made room for us on her couch when she was sitting or even when she was napping.

Happy Birthday Nanny!

You gave so much so often in so many special ways,

In gentle words of comfort, in happy words of praise--

And your special way of giving love with everything you did

Makes you remembered so very much on this day and all year through

Love,

Midnite, Stray Kitty & Mom

ICE Anyone?

We got's ICE. After all the hoopla about snow all we got was ice. Shucks we gots ice in the frigerator. It's still very cold but we are hunkered down and waiting for the thaw. Supposed to get warmer by the end of the week - we sure hope so! Poor Tipper had to go outside to do her business and boy was she unhappy. Every time she came back in she headed right for the couch and dove under the blanket. Litter boxes rock!!!!

SNOW - SAY IT AIN'T SO!

SNOW! That's just not right. There's not supposed to be snow in Florida. Florida is the "Sunshine State". But we's been having a real cold spell for the past week. There's ice in the outside water bowl and frost on the ground. Oranges are freezing on the trees. Peoples are storming the grocery stores loading up on all the essentials just in case it. There has been a run on milk, bread, TP, beers, crunchies and munchies. We gots plenty of good stuff and are prepared to hunker down just in case we gets snowed in. Stray Kitty has never seen snow but Midnite is an old pro and knows just what to do. Find a nice warm spot, curl up and relax. They are already practicing their best lounging positions in the sun room. Notice the nice stack of throws, afgans and blankets Stray has staked out. Stay warm friends!

Prayin for Kismet

Praying for Kismet to get well soon!

Weight Gain

Do I look fat to you? Mom says I've gained weight! I think I look fit and trim but I have noticed a few rolls around my tummy. What do you think? I think it's all the goodies from the holidays. Mom says I have to go to the vet to get my shots and I've heard her mention something called "diet". Can anyone tell me what that's about?

HAPPY 2010

A New Year's Prayer (Anonymous)

May God make your year a happy one!

Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,

But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;

Not by making your path easy,

But by making you sturdy to travel any path;

Not by taking hardship from you,

But by taking fear from your heart;

Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,

But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;

Not by making your life always pleasant,

But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,

and by making you anxious to be there to help.

God's love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
