Monday Meowsie News…An Idea and Update

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Today is a national holiday here in the USA….the humans call it “Labor Day”. This morning while we were reading blogs in bed,  I asked Mom to look that up on our iPad and read to me about why the humans need a day like that…all to themselves

…here is what she found…

“Labor day In the US, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.”

…and now I ask “Why don’t we cats have one of those days just for us??”

After all, whether or not you are an indoor or outdoor feline…you WORK!!…you LABOR!!…the humans cannot keep inside nor outside our homes in proper order without our constant and vigilant snoopervision, day and night we labor! We have Kings, Queens, Rulers of the World and all of us have duties to perform all day, every day…tirelessly…

Cat Labor Day

Got it?! So where on the calendar is OUR CATABOR DAY???

Just this morning I was doin’ research on impawtant stuff…I was finished reading the newspaper and had my breakfast tray ready for Dad to take downstairs…I was catimplating what Mom was reading to me…

Then I had to focus on the TV Sunday morning news; there was a lot for me to think about so I was watchin’ it very, very closely…

Now I needed to really get to work…so I collapsed into my most strenuous working position…this position is difficult…but I had a lot to think about so’s I could get to workin’ on impawtant things…

It was an exhausting morning of work…as you can all see…and so I ask again…where is our CATABOR DAY???

AND NOW SOMETHING YOU WILL LUVLUVLUV…COUSIN LEO!!!!!!!!!!!

…Dad and Mom visited Cousin Leo Sunday…he greeted with only a bit of reserve…(hover over photos for captions and click to bigify…you are gonna want to make a couple humongous to see how gorgeous Leo’s mane has grown back)

Remember when Leo first came to our home trying to survive hepatic lipidosis?…He was so very ill, almost ready to run to The Bridge…

…Look at some BEFORE and AFTER photos…

…remember when he had that feeding tube in his neck?…and his front legs were shaved as well as his mane on the left???

Leo is alive, thriving and loving living with Dad Dave…be sure to visit his blog, click HERE.

All of you made Leo’s current life pawsible…thank you from my whole heart…and Dad Peter and Mom Linda each also thank you from their whole hearts…I will always proudly display my Leo Badge…furrever…

And I asked Mom to take some photos of me in my fave place…I wait right here every morning for my brekkies…and I come to this spot when I am waiting for someone to notice me and come give me some brushies and head and chin scritches…(hover over the photos for the captions)

Have a frolicin’ great weekend!!

Lots to Appreciate…even my garden

There just always seems so much to share with you all about the stuff I am so appreciative of…but I’ll save some of it for next time…here we go…

First, I am so grateful that Ray Charles and Rachel will have a nice size brand new hand crocheted blanket to curl up on, next to each other, for naps. We have another addition to the Hope Chest for Rachel and Ray Charles…(scroll over the photos for captions)

Miss Julie, from Hazel Lucy’s Tranquility Blankets,  is contributing a larger-sized Hazel Lucy blanket and some matching crochet collars for both kitties!:)

APAWS!!   APAWS!!

NOW LET”S GET THESE KITTIES A HOME!!!

Next, for those of you who don’t use Twitter…our sweet Mimi, aka Mary aka MJ, in England is settling into her new home and getting along great with her new Dad and brofur Jazz…here they are playing like crazy pants with their new Nip N Nap mats made by Mollie and Alfie’s Mum Miss Stella…you simple MUST visit her shop!

You can check in with Mimi and Jazz on Twitter…@JazzandMimi

I can’t let this Thankful Thursday go by without sharing something totally special that happened between me and Mom after she and Dad came back from a little get-away…only gone 400 4 days…but I made sure to let Mom know how much I missed her…and I haven’t stopped yet…!!!!

I have not snuggled right next to Mom…against her leg…on the couch for over a year…and the second night she was back…I sucked my body right up as close as I could get next to her on the couch while we watched TV and she gave me the bestest ever head rubs…(sorry for the blurry images but Mom was only able to grab Dad’s mobile to take these)…

With all this good stuff going around…it’s impawsible to not feel hugely thankful.  I appreciate Pepi Smart Dog for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop…check out HERE for more wonderful posts…

I didn’t really have a garden report last week for my furriend Jonesie…so I sent Mom out to take some shots of our new garden flag out front and snaps of some of the roses and other flowers we still don’t know the names of…MOL…

Hope you like my garden report…
