The Gravity-Free Zone

Buddy heer to talk abowt the mystery of the Gravity-Free Zone. We all know that efurry howse has at leest one GFZ. I have made it my life's work to find as many GFZs as I can. However, the only time I appear to get close, I am thwarted by mom bean!

Just the other nite, I wated 'til she was sleeping so that I cood continyoo my reserch. I went up on the dresser, witch was a pretty high jump. If seven cats stood on top of each other's baks, that's abowt how high it was. [Miss Millie has come up with a unit of mezure called a Gizzy, but I don't kno how that werks for hight. Maybe she will come by and tell us.]

Anyways...there I was...perched on top of the dresser...testing to see if the Gravity-Free Zone in Ant Ree's howse is in my mom's sleepy room. I carefully placed my paw aganst several objects and pooshed them to see if they wood fall down to the flore or if they wood float, therefor identifying the GFZ.

Pink hairclip - fell to the flore.

Little bag of Chrismiss stripy candies - fell to the flore.

Silver ring mom wares on her finger - fell to the flore and landed on the bag of Chrismiss candies, waking mom up.

Well, my concloosion is that mom was not as asleep as I thot she was 'cos she kept sayiing "Buddy cut that owt!" or "Buddy stop that". Then she got up and pikked me up off the dresser and made me get on the bed and have snuggles and pettings. And that was the end of my speriment 'cos I fell asleep.

I'll try agane. Heer is a piksher of wen I tryd to fly into the GFZ in owr old townhowse.

URGENT - Grate Cat needs a Home!!!

Isn't he hansome? Look at those grate big wisker humps!!

This is Columbo. He was fownd on the streets of New York City by some well-meaning beans who don't reely kno wat it means to serve a cat as we shood be served. They din't kno he wood want foods efurry day or that they wood haf to keep putting more litter in the litter boks.

These beans have a roommate who has a cat of her own, Mr Earl, who has diabetes and some other helth problems. So his good mom bean can't adopt Columbo becos it wood be furry upsetting and hard for Earl. The good mom bean has alreddy taken him to the v-e-t and made sure he is helthy and heer's wat she sed abowt him.

"He's less than 2 yrs old, FeLV/FIV neg, dewormed, neutered, semi-vocal, extremely friendly, cuddly, and outgoing. He's tall, long, and quite a hearty, strapping young'un. And quite homeless, too, of course."

If anycat or bean is in or near the New York area, please email us at finnegan_cat@hotmail.com and we'll get you in touch with the good bean abowt adopting Columbo.

Happy Birfday Buddy!!!!!

It was 4 yeers ago that Buddy's first mom bean putted him in his cat carrier, wrote "Buddy to NC" on it and started his long advensher of driving from Philllydelfia to join me and mom in owr fambly in Norf Carolina. All that long, long day, Buddy had menny diffrunt drivers. They were all volunteers wif the IMOM Xpress - furry speshul beans who love cats and droolers and help them find new homes.

First pik mom efur took of Buddy. He was staying in the bafroom by himself 'til he got used to mom and me. He was furry nervus and scared and he hissd at mom a lot!

After he came owt to eksplore, we weren't sure if we liked eech other or not and I kept an eye on him wile he lookd all arownd owr howse.

Efenchully we became frends and brofurs and now we like to wrassle and play togevver.

Buddy is furry good at yoga and he can do some poses that no other cat can do!

Wen Sanjee and Boni brot the Catolympics Torch to us on the Torch run, Buddy guarded it until I was reddy to leave to take it on the next part of the run.

Wen mom broked her foot, Buddy was a furry good nerse and watched ofur her lots and helped her wif her therapees by running owtside wen she came in on her crutches so she wood lern to use them good.

Buddy loves to watch the birdies owt the window and this time he got so eksited he forgot there was a screen and he jumped up to try to catch one!

So now Buddy is 7 yeers old! But he doesn't akt like an allmost old cat, he plays lots and lots and efen tho I am one yeer older than him, I play lots too.

Happy Birfday Buddy!!!

2-fer Tuesday!

We dug arownd on mom's compooter and fownd these grate pix of 2 cats together!

This is owr frend Desmond, he lives in Orrygone wif his sister Daffny and his girly frend Sophy. But this is Des wif a little orinch babycat - isn't she kyoot? There mom bean does fostering for littel babies who aren't reddy to be dopted yet.

Cuzzins Gilmore and Grady. Ant Ree sez Grady is a monkey-see, monkey-do. She's silly - Grady is a cat, not a monkey!!

Unkle Kimo and Ant Peaches that lived wif Granma and Grampa befor Ant Lili and Unkle Iz. Mom likes this pikcher cos she sez they look like meerkats. I think they were looking for lizerds on the owtside window sill.

Unkle Iz and Ant Lili that live wif Granma and Grampa. Grampa has lots of toy racecars and truks and airplanes in the room wif the compooter, so that's wat they were looking at!

This is the peese of artwerk that we entered. Mom and Granma made it and it is one of the skwares on a kwilt that mom and a hole bunch of her bean frends that have Sugarcats (cats wif diabeetees) made together. You can see all the diffrunt skwares at this speshul website.

This is the furry speshul bean fambly that the kwilt was made for. Harry, baby Renee, Boo! the cat and Jamie bean the mama. They used to live in Bay St. Loois, Missysippi and wen the bad bad Herrycane Katrina came there, the howse and efurry single thing they had got rooned or losted. The Jamie bean was furry upset becos little Renee woodn't haf enny airlooms from there fambly. So mom and all the other frends desided to make them a new airloom so they wood kno that lots and lots of beans and cats love them.


Here's wat it sez on the label skware that tells abowt the kwilt.

Tooday is Grampa's Birfday! You mite fink he's a big ruff tuff guy but he loves poodins just like Gramma does and mom and Ant Ree and Ant Marjie and all the other beans in owr fambly too!

Me and Grampa at Chrismiss last yeer or maybe the yeer befor. Ennyways, he has furry big hands that are good for petting and he likes to play wif toys too.

Grampa and Gramma wif Cuzzin Grady. Gramma and Grampa resskewed Grady wen some stoopid beans dumped him in the woods by there howse. Grady was yelling reely lowd cos he was pretty yung and he needed a fambly. He stayd wif the Grandbeans for a wile and he helped Grampa in his workshop, but he desided he wanted to live wif Ant Ree so Cuzzin Gilmore woodn't be all alone.

Me and Grampa. Now that I am staying wif Gramma and Grampa for a wile, I have tawt Grampa how to give hugs in the morning and to sit nise and still so I can take a nap wif him. I like Grampa cos he takes naps and sits in this nise comfy chare. Sometimes I can't deside wether to nap wif Grampa in the chare or wif Gramma on the bed! So I take terns napping wif one on one day and the other on another day.

HAPPY BIRFDAY GRAMPA!!!
