Mu Shue's Hug-A-Thon Continyoos!

Owr good frend Mu Shue had a grate idear. He started a Hug-A-Thon so we all hug ofur cats and cheer efurryone up and make frends agane.

Me and Buddy got Hugged by owr good frends Bonnie Underfoot and Victor Tabbycat. You mite remembrr that Miss Bonnie and I had a bit of a misunderstanding ofur my defense of Victor wen he was accused of an unforchewnit attak at his home. Well, we bofe apologized to eech other, I sent her some flowers and she sent me a book and now we are the best of furrends!

That's wat furrends do wen they haf an argument or misunderstanding. They apologize, maybe are embarrassed to talk to each ofur for a wile, but then they hug and make up. And they are stronger furrends forever after that!

So, now we get to Hug four more cats and they hug 4 more....you get the idear.

Buddy goes ferst and his Hugs go to...

Sophie, Kismet's little sisfur
Eric & Flynn
Kelly of the Good CAts
Empress Kukka Maria's Brofur Brach

Ok, my turn! I'm sending HUGS to....

Scooby, Shaggy & Scout
The Caturday Cats
The Poiland Tribe

Remembring Little Sisfur Daisy

Horses & Shrimpys & Walks Owtside

Mom sent Ant Ree this viddy-o of a dansing horse and Grady reely liked watching it!

Member wen I posted abowt the shrimpys? Grady got all mad 'cos his mom din't give him enny, so wen the beans had the left overs, mom saved us some peeses and I shared wif him. Cos I'm a nise cat! And I will post wat Grady sed but he's a LIAR and I don't boss him arownd, Gilmore trys to boss us bofe arownd.

"It's about time that bossy other orinch kitty let me get sumfing to eat... I'm starving to death in the garage"

AND anofur fing! Nobean or nocat makes him go owt in the garaj. I like to go owt there to sharpen my claws cos I don't get yelled at wen I do them owt there. And Gilmore likes to sit on top of the garbage can fingy and look owt the window. Grady is just a copy cat and follows us owt there.

Finny is having a reely good time visting wif Gramma and Grampa. He sent me and mom this emale the other day.

Hey Mom!

Guess whot?

Today Grampa & me went and gotted the mail. I walked out on his shoulders an he dinnit even have to hold me. But.

After we got the mail, an were starting back to the house I got scairt when a big thingie came down the road. I jumped down and left Grampa all by hisself, and ran toward the house. I pretended to stop and smell the daffydills so he could catch up to me. Then I let him pick me up and take me inside the house, where I knew he would be safe.

Miss you Mom

Love Finny

(Heer's mom wif a daffydill wen she was a little bean. She allways liked them and daisies best!)

We allso will go froo mom's crafty bead bokses and see wat else we can make that cats and beans mite like to have!

Shrimps!!!

I don't like peeple foods. If my mom bean puts a fork wif peeple foods on it in front of my fase, I go "accck ackkk gag" and I back away. Sometimes I even fro up a little bit. Efen if mom doesn't offer me the peeple foods and I just walk up to a plate or bole of peeple foods, I will go "accck ackkk gag" like somebean tryd to poison me.

But...last nite Ant Ree came home and sed she wanted a grilld shrimpy samwich on English muffin wif melty cheese. So her and mom maked them and there was lots of yummy noises happening and it smellld furry good! I went ofur by mom and she sed "want a peese of shrimpy, Buddy?" and put a little peese on the flore for me. I of corse, sed "accck ackkk gag" but then I notissed how yummy it smelld. So I tasted it!! Kno wat?

I LOOOOOOVE SHRIMPYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I nefur tasted ennyfing so yummy and I lookd at mom furry sad and then she gave me anofur peese and it was just as yummy as the ferst one. But then she din't give me enny more so I reely was sad. But she sez I can have some shrimpy enny time she has them.

I love you mom. When are we hafing shrimpys agane?

Finny's Adventure with Grampa

Yayyyy! It's Sunday, and mom came to see me! Well, she came to see Gramma and Grampa too, but I know she reely came to see me. After Grampa cookd her some eggs wif cheese and ham (!), we showd her how I have been going and helping Grampa in his werkshop ware he makes stuff owt of wood.I let Grampa pik me up and do hugs just like wif mom, then we went owtside!

Ferst, we chekked for vishus deers - nope, there's none. I think it's safe to go to the werkshop.

Sometimes Gramma is in the window up there, but I din't see her this time.

Heer we are after owr long walk to the werkshop. Grampa has all kinds of cool stuff in there.

I fownd some peeses of wood to werk wif and tolld Grampa wat we shood do wif them.
Then I gotted bak up on his sholders to make sure he did the werk reel careful and good, but my claws were herting his bak a little bit, so he fownd me these werk gloves.

I can't show you wat we're making yet, it's a surprise!!! We'll keep you posted!

Missing Finny

Efen tho I haf been doing a good job cuddling mom at nite, watching owt for her wen she goes in the waterfall plase and playing wif her to keep her from getting bord, she sez she misses Finny too. So I thot I wood post lots of pikchers of him to cheer her up.

In case you din't kno, Finny is staying at Gramma and Grampa's howse wile me and mom stay at Ant Ree's howse wile we werk on selling owr howse in Charlotte. Soon somebean will want it all for there own and then we can get a new plase heer in Durhum and all be togevver agane.
