Our beautiful Grace ... on National Straw Hat Day!

I cannot improve on excellent work. 

I just love this photo of Grace, with her hat included. 

So wonderful!

Happy Momma's Day to Grace!

Happy Momma's Day, Grace! Enjoy, enjoy!

Two of Anne's

First of all, here's Cabbie ... before and after his summer haircut!

Before ...

And after ...

And here are two views of Kitty ... a very floofy cat! He NEEDS a summer haircut!! In the first one, he was looking at me upside-down! 

And here, he was rolling over ... trying to look cute? Begging for food??

Happy Birthday #7 to Audace and Ruse!

... and to Marigold and Mr B, even though we think they have already celebrated in their new forever home with Mama Laura and Maxie!

Here are some pix from this past week (VERY recent!), including one from this morning showing how brilliant Audace is -- he has learned how to keep that food dish from slippy-sliding away from him as he eats!!

Thank you, Grace, for having such beautiful babies.

And, again and again, thank you Auntie Deb and Mommy ML for rescuing all of these li'l beauties!

Happy Easter, everyone

Our joy in the day is reflected in Audace's joyous play!

He loves my shoes and socks!

 He also loves the wonderful sound of tissue paper when he plays with it!

Such a happy boy-cat!!

RIP, Eric

Our hearts are breaking for Eric's family, including his very close bro, Flynn.

Prayers and purrrrrrrsssss of comfort from all of us here ...

Yayyy for new forever homes!! Huge thanks!

We are so thankful to know that Emily and Marigold and Brutus (now known as Mr. B) are all settling in to their new forever homes!

Grace was so happy to hear the good news that she had to wake Ruse up and give him a bath!!

Thanks to Rhonda and Laura for adopting these precious ones!

Hooray!

Well, things are definitely looking up!! Be sure to read about the "re-homing" of The Royals: http://www.blog.catblogosphere.com/re-homing-emily-brutus-marigold/

We are all VERY happy about all this. Grace and I are especially appreciative of all the people who are working and donating money to see to it that The Royals are given new forever homes. We are also grateful to anyone who is donating or has donated to ML, since she's footing all the bills for QM Rose's last needs. Anyone who wants to donate can do so most easily through Paypal, whether he/she has an account there or not. Just send money in these ways:

~ to help ML with Rose's needs: mlgiggleman@gmail.com

~ to help with getting The Royals sprung from the kitty shelter and on their way to their new homes: lcrodgers@sbcglobal.net  and  queenlillycat@aol.com

Let's keep all those donations coming!!

Our hearts are breaking...

In summer, 2006, Rose adopted Grace's other two offspring, Brutus and Marigold, to add to Emily in her household. The loss of Rose will be very hard on these kittehs.

My prayers are that all three are adopted by some lovely people. 

These babies deserve it!

KC and ML's blog will have updates: http://missyblueeyes.blogspot.com

We can all leave our condolences at the Royals' blog: http://roseandtheroyals.blogspot.com

This is crushing news. =(

Fun game for kitteh!

I wonder how long it took for this beauty to learn how to play this game!!
