Honouring Pixie

Hallo, Effuryone!

As we mentioned before, le quatorze juillet was Precious Pixie's birthday. If she had still been here, instead of having flown off to the Rainbow Bridge in December 2011, she would have been 18 years old today. Mummy gets leaky eyes whenever she thinks about her kitties who have gone to the Bridge, but She knows that She will meet them again some day, when it's her own turn to leave for the Bridge.

Mummy says that Princess Pixie shared her birthday with many, many people and kitties (and probably woofies too) in France who celebrate Bastille Day on this date. She says that in France, they don't talk about the Rainbow Bridge. Instead, they say that anipals who are called away by the Great Cat in the Sky, go to join Le Nuage des Animaux (that means "The Cloud of Animals"). Mummy says she learned about this from her friend Nath's website, Le Monde de Shahlimare. Mummy says that the Cloud and the Bridge are one and the same thing, really, because all the anipals go there and they live in peace with each other, even if their Humans came from countries that were at war with each other. Which just goes to show that animals have much more Common Sense than Humans, doesn't it, kitties?

Anyway, to get back to Sweet Pixie's birthday, we want to honour her memory by showing some of the most beautiful pictures of her from Mummy's collection.

And now, Pixie is an angel...

Wasn't Pixie beautiful? And it's true, I do look a lot like her, don't I? Well, except for being a Mancat, whereas Pixie was a beautiful Ladycat.

So here's to the memory of the lovely Tigger Princess PixieCato, who will neffur, effur be forgotten.

Kitties in the Doghouse

Hallo, Effurryone!

We are hanging our heads in shame, kitties (as if.....MOL).

The truth is, We are in disgrace. Our Human was terribly upset. She said We are little Bandits. No - "Terrorists" was the word She used! She said she should call us "Hizbollah Cats", rather than "J-Cats". That's a very unkind thing to say, don't you agree, kitties? I mean - it isn't as if We deliberately set out to break the leg of her porcelain ballerina doll. I say "We", but it was really Trixie's fault, she swished her mighty tail and knocked Marie (that's the dolly's name) off her perch. But she didn't mean to do it. I mean, anyone can have an accident, can't they?

Hallo, Effurrybody!

Trixie here. I just want to make it clear, it was not my fault! Caspurr was entirely to blame! If he hadn't kept pestering Me and chasing Me, it would never have happened. And anyway, it was he who knocked Marie Dolly down and broke her leg.  Because of him, Mummy got really MAD and threatened to throw Us away!!!

I know, it's hard to believe She could have said anything so hurtful, isn't it?! Of course, she regretted her hasty words almost immediately and begged for forgiveness - which, after Due Consideration, we decided to grant Her. 

But there are Consequences, kitties. She follows Us about all over the place now, to make sure We aren't causing any more damage. It's Humiliating! One would think we were Criminals! Now, Caspurr may deserve that, but I certainly don't. When I'm not being pestered by a Little Brofur who always wants to prove he is better than Me at wrestling, I am effur so Good. In fact, my Goodness shines out of Me.You can see, at a glance, how furry, furry Good I am, can't you?

Well, that's all for now, Kitties! Bye for now, from the two of us.
Have a lovely Weekend - Shabbat Shalom.

Remembering Possum

Hallo, Effurrybody!

Mummy is furry sad today. We saw water leaking out of her eyes. That's because today is the 4th of July and the 4th of July was Possum's birthday. He would have been 18 years old today, if he hadn't flown away to the Rainbow Bridge last October, to be with Pixie. We - that is, Caspurr and I - never knew Possum the MagnifiCat and Princess Pixie, but We know that Mummy loved them effur so much and We also know that it was Possum and Pixie who sent Us to Mummy and who whispered in her ear that it was time to open her door to Us. In ten days time, we will be remembering Pixie, on what would have been her birthday, but the 4th of July is Possum's special day, which is also celebrated by millions and millions of Americans. Just imagine having so many people celebrating your birthday with you! Possum is furry, furry famous - and justly so. Mummy says that I - Trixie - have inherited Possum's furriness and splendiferous tail, and Pixie's purr-sonality, whereas Caspurr is more like Possum in character, though he looks effur so much like Pixie.

Caspurr and I would like to honour Possum by showing some of the best pictures of him. Even though it will make Mummy's eyes leak some more, we believe she will be happy to know that his memory is cherished, by others, as well as by herself.

Big News

Hallo, Effurrybody!

Earlier this week, Caspurr passed his final exam in Advanced Birdwatching, Summa Cum Miauwday. 

Now that he has his Diploma, he is taking a few days well-earned rest (as am I, his Teacher) before commencing a one-month Internship under My tutelage. When he completes that successfully (as I am sure he will), he will be fully qualified and will receive his licence to practice Birdwatching.

Now, as tutoring him has been quite exhausticating, I must have a little rest myself. 

So it's over to Caspurr, who wants to add a few words of his own.

Have a Great Weekend!

********

Hallo, Effurryone!

It's me, Caspurr! I see my Big Sisfur has already told you that I now have my CertifiCat in Advanced Birdwatching. She made Me work effur so hard for it, you know. But she's a Good Teacher - and a Good Sisfur too. I love her furry much - even though she's a bit bossy at times.

Now, I too, must have a little nap to regain my strength after all that studying.

Have a lovely weekend, Effurryone.

Another Week Draws To A Close

Hallo, Effurrybody!

Our Human has been Most Neglectful of Us, this Week! Just because she had a concert with her Choir on Sunday and another one coming up tomorrow, she thinks that's an adequate reason for going out to rehearsals and leaving Us to Our Own Devices for hours on end!!!

And she leaves the computer switched off, so we can't hang out with our kitty pals! 

I ask you - is that Shellfish selfish or is that selfish?!

Of course, We got our own back. She came back to find her porcelain dolls scattered all over the floor, and leaves from her houseplants chewed up and spewed up all over the carpet.

But naturally, when she looked for the culprits, we were just lying there as Good as Gold (mol).

She should thank Us, really. Most of those houseplants are old and tired and it's time she got some new ones. We think a planter full of catnip or catmint would be fine for starters (heh heh heh).

Actually, she has planted some cat grass for Us but she says it hasn't finished growing yet.

Hurry up, Mummy! Impatient kitties here....

The Pick of the Pics

Hallo, Effurrybody!

The purr-purr-azzi got some pretty good shots of Us since our last post, so we're just going to show you the pick of the crop. 

Here they are:

Trixie heard someone say that cleanliness is next to Codliness - or maybe it was Cuddlyness  (mol).

Caspurr finally managed to tear a big enough hole in the mosquito screen for him to get out onto the window-ledge. Mummy nearly had kittens!!!

Just look at these fangs:  

And how about these belly spots?

Our Human likes to sneak up on us and take pictures when We are asleep - but We can feel her presence and We open our eyes just in time:

She also likes it when we give her melting looks, like this:

And now for Mummy's absolute favourite. She has been waiting for a photo opportunity like this for weeks - ever since Caspurr joined the Family:

And, last but not least - see our new profile picture:

That's all for now, Effurryone. Tomorrow is Friday and that means the weekend is just around the corner. So Shabbat Shalom to all our Furr-iends and to their Humans too. Have a lovely weekend.

A Few Words from Caspurr

Hallo, Effurrybody!

Guess who this is! That's right - it's ME, Caspurr! This is my very first blog. Mummy and Trixie said I have made such good progress with my lessons, that I can now write a few words on my own. Mummy is helping Me with my spelling.

So, what shall I tell you? I know - I'll tell you all about my visit to the v-e-t on Tuesday. I'm always Very Good about going to the v-e-t. I got into my carrier with no problems at all and Mummy took me down to the taxi. When Mummy takes Me for a ride, it's fun because I get to see lots of new things out of the window. The only thing I don't like is when there are speed bumps in the road, because I feel a bit sick when we go bumping over them.

The nice lady v-e-t loves Me very much. It was her who told Mummy about Me and so it's thanks to her that I have such a nice home with Mummy and my Big Sisfur, Trixie. I think maybe she wishes she had taken Me to live with her instead, because she said to Mummy she'd give her a thousand shekels if Mummy would let her keep Me! But Mummy said NO WAY.

Anyway, the reason I had to go to Dr. Einat was to get my second set of shots. She and her assistant, Yardena - and Mummy too - talked to Me while they did it, and distracted Me and truly, I hardly felt a thing. She's a Very Good V-e-t.

Then we came home and Trixie let me groom her - at least, for a few seconds, till she lost patience.

After that, Trixie used our tree to jump up onto her new, favourite place - on the top of Mummy's bookcase - and I curled up on Mummy's lap and went to sleep.

Have a nice weekend, effurryone!
