When mom and Nanny first moved to FL we stayed with him for a few days until our house was ready. He was our mom's favorite uncle. Our Nanny would drive to FL at least twice each year to visit with her brother - they were very close. He was one of the reasons mom and Nanny moved to where we are in FL - they wanted to be close to Uncle Charles. He helped mom, Nanny and mom's brother bring the our boat down the intercostal waterway from Virginia. Although he had slowed down a bit in the past couple of years he was always fun when he camed to visit, always giving us pets. We are going to miss him a lot. He will be buried in the Bushnell National Cemetery. He and Nanny are now together again having the greatest visit of all time.ASTOR CATShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527893780086768768noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752377524757903898.post-58953996911677872312010-08-20T15:49:00.003-04:002010-08-20T15:54:57.898-04:00Tough WeekOur thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost a fur friend this week!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszneeORi-S8ADxvjZYLEf-3y7IE6PnnXDLRDJ6RIRNDjBc9QTGP_zMmp9EiqDnQfY8tsV3WRj4gebPw0SOgyDodI16nI7WiuG6UKCRcIqUuGC9EhyN0NngO46KV6cGWQ8zRIBRhLPhttq/s1600/catlossagu2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszneeORi-S8ADxvjZYLEf-3y7IE6PnnXDLRDJ6RIRNDjBc9QTGP_zMmp9EiqDnQfY8tsV3WRj4gebPw0SOgyDodI16nI7WiuG6UKCRcIqUuGC9EhyN0NngO46KV6cGWQ8zRIBRhLPhttq/s320/catlossagu2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507581717845061170" /></a>ASTOR CATShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527893780086768768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752377524757903898.post-23029790135965292952010-08-08T00:00:00.005-04:002010-08-08T00:00:00.321-04:00World Cat Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF1H5hxfe3c2TLJyt0aff3lxEcyKP1XIJJgXI6n69Ni3F8SFxYYsMf9sKE5Otuszeu-ScdQLHyXUXU7eKdXS6Eya-ekCa66GBis6w3dky8s36fFDADWlE4eeTjhE5dAMvqOgEOdySLnJL/s1600/worldcatdayaugust82010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF1H5hxfe3c2TLJyt0aff3lxEcyKP1XIJJgXI6n69Ni3F8SFxYYsMf9sKE5Otuszeu-ScdQLHyXUXU7eKdXS6Eya-ekCa66GBis6w3dky8s36fFDADWlE4eeTjhE5dAMvqOgEOdySLnJL/s400/worldcatdayaugust82010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502858042953068898" /></a><br /><br />Celebrating the love of and from our furry, purry friends - those which currently rule our lives and those that have journeyed to the Rainbow Bridge!

It's very curious and no one can explain what happened but just the other day I ended up on the back steps just outside my sun room. The big dude asked Mom "How did Stray Kitty get out?" Of course Mom said "HuH?" You see she went out the front door, walking Tipper, and the big dude found me on the back steps. Needless to say I've been on strict house arrest every since - but I'm making the most of it. I've been crying and crying to be let out again but the Mom says "No way that's going to happen!" I don't know what all the fuss is about I mean afterall I didn't go very far and I really didn't try to run away - I really do like it here. Can you tell! On a comfort level of 0 to 10, I'd say this is a 10.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8DHhJ_3lJPJyKzhTbbiykXEE0Y_Ynao7BBRJScjdYsGMHo58k9UhxjtJDK4ow6GTFwm_I1WJyFZh3ShOpEtNYNlhlTf4xuLLXbEsByyudlkO6K-ZfXYM8S7bGa5OWSudIkuBUJZjAjRN6/s1600/020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8DHhJ_3lJPJyKzhTbbiykXEE0Y_Ynao7BBRJScjdYsGMHo58k9UhxjtJDK4ow6GTFwm_I1WJyFZh3ShOpEtNYNlhlTf4xuLLXbEsByyudlkO6K-ZfXYM8S7bGa5OWSudIkuBUJZjAjRN6/s400/020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491313434262417106" /></a>ASTOR CATShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527893780086768768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752377524757903898.post-41317186071718163882010-07-07T00:01:00.003-04:002010-07-07T00:01:01.846-04:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM<a href="http://www.glittergraphicsnow.com/" title="Orkut and MySpace Glitter Graphics"><img src="http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll149/glittergn/happybirthday/birthday015.gif" border="0" alt="Glitter Graphics" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.glittergraphicsnow.com/happy-birthday.html">Glitter Happy Birthday Graphics</a><br /><br /> <br /><br />Happy Birthday to our MOM!

We are going to have all her favorites (and ours too) - shrimps, chickens, steaks, milk, and whatever else we can find.

A "ride" in the car is not what it's cracked up to be. Doc was real thorough and he poked me and proded me in every orifice and then had the nerve to shoot me twice. I don't want to go back if you know what I mean. But, I heard you screaming like a little girl when he cut your nails. Everyone in the whole place heard you screaming. What the heck!</em></span></div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em> </div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em> </div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">I was fine when he cut the nails on my front paws but then the lady was holding me and I got my back leg stuck between the table and her body and when Doc pulled on the other back leg I just had to let him know that I wasn't meant to be stretched like a rubber band. Mom saw what was happening and once my leg was free I was fine. I have to admit though that my toes feel much better since my manicure. The vet lady was real concerned that maybe I hurt my leg but shucks I'm tough as nails (get it "tough as nails")! Besides my screams also got me a real nice treat.</span></div><div> </div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Well I didn't get a treat till we got home and my butt is still a little sore from the two shots but next time she brings out the carriers I'm going to hide under the bed.</span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em> </div><div><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">The trip to the vet went fine. Both Stray Kitty and Tipper were well behaved on the ride but I guess I've got to figure out a way to make sure Stray had done his business before we go anywhere. Again this time he left a present in the carrier that had to be cleaned up when we got to the vet. </span></div>ASTOR CATShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527893780086768768noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752377524757903898.post-3224934391153857982010-03-10T00:01:00.004-05:002010-03-10T09:54:51.520-05:00VET WarningAfter I phoned the Vet to make an appointment for Stray Kitty and Tipper I overheard the following conversation:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2J8-eqg2Jb7JRVPekZf0ZywfIh3RPbFAU84vs7lPpxYhIZxhDjAquqLtOtlv4a2JzHIKTLJNuipYPHZ0wJi33udzJNbRWz_neBh9upJVt-gQVU_LjdCdwXNbZJdlq-NG751JOa1qCCwHY/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446808541022628834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2J8-eqg2Jb7JRVPekZf0ZywfIh3RPbFAU84vs7lPpxYhIZxhDjAquqLtOtlv4a2JzHIKTLJNuipYPHZ0wJi33udzJNbRWz_neBh9upJVt-gQVU_LjdCdwXNbZJdlq-NG751JOa1qCCwHY/s200/005.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Hey Stray Kitty, mom says we get to go for a ride tomorrow. Aren't you excited? I love to ride in the car.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">I wouldn't be so happy if I were you Tipper. I saw the carriers pulled out of storage. We're probably going to get stuffed inside and I suspect that means we're going to the vet. At least she's learned something from some of my earlier trips to the vet because this time she has an afternoon appointment. One time I went to the vet I exacted my revenge and Mom spent the rest of the morning cleaning up the carrier. Ha! Ha! I got the last laugh. </span></em><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Well that can't be it! I don't need to go to the vet. I'm just fine although I did hear her say something about my nails getting too long but it must be something else. Maybe we're taking a trip or going to visit some friends.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Dream on little dreamer. If we were going on a trip she would have gotten all the carriers out not just two. That means that one of us is not going and since she got out the big carrier and that little one it means just you and me babe! Midnite is staying home!</span></em><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Well I hope you're wrong because I don't like getting my nails trimmed. I tried to bite the Vet the last time and he just laughed because he said my bark was worse that my bite. Do you think my bark is bad?</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">I don't know about your bark but for sure your bite is not bad!</span></em>ASTOR CATShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527893780086768768noreply@blogger.com0
