Hi Gimli,
ANDY AND ELLIE'S MORNING ADVENTURE!
A great big roach across the ceiling did come,
and up the curtain Andy did run!
A mid-air swipe and down it fell;
hit the floor running pell mell!
Andy and Ellie are on it in a flash,
but behind the waste can the roach did dash!
Round and round the cats did run,
chasing the roach and having SO much fun!
Under the rug it tried to escape,
little did it know that was a mistake!
Four taloned paws under the rug did search,
and the 'poor' little roach went plumb berserk!
A valiant run it made for the door,
but a quick paw-swipe pinned it flat to the floor!
A leap,a toss,a flip in the air...
~then CRUNCH!
It's ended-right then and there!
I hope you enjoyed our morning adventure,and hope you have many too!~Hugs,Andy and EllieCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Hi Gimli~Vote #30
Meet pretty Eleanor,a dilute calico that Dad found at a busy intersection,along with her two brothers on 7/14/10. Dad originally planned to find homes for them,or see if our local shelter could take them. So mom got in touch with the shelter,and the lady said she had room for them and that her kittens were moving fast. So,it was all settled...or so mom thought! A few days later,Dad told mom that he wanted to keep,not one,but ALL THREE of the kittens! Mom just smiled,and e-mailed the shelter with the change of plans! Dad named her Eleanor because he thought it was pretty,but we call her Ellie,Ellie Mae,or my personal fave-Miss Nosey! Thats right,Ellie has to be where the action is and has to know what is going on in her home at all times! Why,she is even not afraid of that floor monster! She supervises all cleaning,and is even there when mom scoops the litter pans and will sit in the pan to watch! Ellie also has to be with mom in the mornings as she gets ready for work. She will 'tap' on the shower curtain when she thinks mom has been in long enough! Then she will sit on the toilet and 'talk' to mom as she does hair and make-up! Mom swears she is giving her advice,mol! Miss Ellie repeats this same procedure for dad when he get's up. Mom said Ellie reminds her of a momma getting her kids off to school! Ellie gets along well with all us kitties here and is pretty laid back. She also 'adopted' little Andy,and just like a mama,patiently lets him practice his wrestling skills on her-(4th pic)-Ellie also appreciates a really good 'cat nap',no matter where. This busy girl needs them! We all love her very much,and are so happy that Dad had a change of heart and decided to keep her and her brothers!!
Hope you have a restful and blessed Sunday!~Purrs,BartCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Hi Gimli,
Bart says-meet Smudge,AKA-Stump Butt! Today I will introduce you to Smudge. Many of you already know him,as he used to have his own page here on CC.For those of you who don't-he is a Manx,like me,and is solid black-except for a 'smudge' of white on his chest. Mom 1st saw him on Pet-finder one week-end when she was bored,and 'just looking'! HA! One look and she was smitten! Smudge was in a foster home,but up for adoption through Claws & Paws,Inc. here in Marion Co. Ga.,where we live. Dad gave the O.K.,and Smudge joined our family on 7/24/07. He was born on 4/26/07. Smudge was his shelter name,and mom liked it,and as it suits him,kept it. He is an outside/inside cat,per his choice! As you can see from his pictures,he is a handsome fellow who likes to sit on his butt like a human. He is an avid 'talker' and can say 'mama'! He's a toilet tissue,paper towel shredder,cabinet door opener kind of cat! He once helped the inside kitties escape by opening the sun-room door! He is an awesome jumper,and leaps from the roof of the house straight to the ground! Smudge loves one-on-one attention from mom and dad,and has a deep rumbling purr! HOWEVER,he does not liked his butt touched,and will bite the hand that tries!! Mom thinks it is because his tailbone ends up on his back,giving him a 'cowlick'! She hopes this does not give him problems as he gets older. Smudge does not get along with the rest of us kitties,with the exception of Charlie. He especially does not seem to like orange cats,and gave Chester grief when he was alive.This past year,he tore a chunk out of little Opie's nose,which resulted in a vet visit for Opie. They are now kept separate at all times,and Smudge is on Homeopet Anxiety Drops w/TFLN. It seems to be helping with his aggression. Mom says Smudge really should have been an only kitty,as he is happiest when he is alone with us-and Charlie,of course!
I hope you enjoyed 'meeting' Smudge,and next week I will tell you about his best bud,Charlie!~Hugs and Purrs,BartCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Hi Gimli,
I am way behind on my blogging-again! The last few days,dad was busy putting a roof on the cat enclosure and making a winter box bed for my sibs who live out there,complete with a low wattage bulb for heat. He was in a hurry to get it dried in by today,as we are expecting rain,then a very COLD front behind it. Mom swept it out,as there was a ton of leaves in it,and says she has a few more changes to make when the weather is better-like painting and making it pretty! Mom's and their girly junk! She'll probably paint it pink-yuck! Glad I don't live out there!! Hope you have a great day!~Purrs,BartCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Breathtaking transformation
The snowflake is a simple example of self-assembly. There is no blueprint or genetic code that guides the growth of a snowflake, yet marvelously complex structures appear, quite literally out of thin air.
.........._¦……….¦_ ........begins up in a cloud
.…......._¦……¦_ ...........droplet first freezes
.……....._¦...¦_ ... ice particle quickly develops facets
.._¦.._¦...….¦……¦_.¦_,,...becomes hexagonal prism
.……....._¦...¦_ ................branches sprout
.…......._¦……¦_ .same conditions/times=same way
.........._¦……….¦_ .........symmetrical structure
"How full of the creative genius is the air in which these are generated! I should hardly admire more if real stars fell and lodged on my coat." -Henry David Thoreau, 1856

Hi Gimli,
Hope all is well with you and yours! There are many things I could 'talk' about this morning-the weather,our antics,or gripes...but instead,I will share this poem that mom wrote,about our furiends!
*f*U*r*I*e*N*d*S*
Puts the blue in the sky,
and wipes the tears when you cry.
Furiends will share a laugh or two,
and give warm hugs when you are blue.
Furiends will send loving prayers your way,
if painful loss should visit you some day.
Life is such a better place,
when furiends like YOU it does grace!
~S.J.Belvin
Thank you for being our furiend!
Warm loving Purrs,BartCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Purrs to you
Here's my vote for you furrfriend.
Wishing you several superb and idyllic weekend relaxation days.
Heard lovely duet, Tony Bennet with Carrie Underwood:
It had to be you,
it had to be you
I wandered around,
And finally found somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Just thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me the thrill
With all your faults
I PURR you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Cause nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults,
I PURR you still
It had to be you.

Hi Gimli,
Well,that Gypsy is still up to her trick of escaping! None of the other kitties in the cattery do-just her! Mom is just about ready to throw her hands up and keep her in the house all the time! I was looking at your pictures,and saw you have a lot of nice awards and ribbons! I am sure a good-looking fellow like you will get many more! Hope you have a nice evening!~Purrs,BartCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Hi Gimli,
I hope you are having a happy and safe Sunday! Mom is blogging and working on up-dating her blogging book at the same time,while dad works on the cattery. Seems Gypsy found her an escape hole,and he is trying to find it! He also made another place for the inside kitties to get-under the main deck and cattery! Now they have THREE rooms outside,plus the whole inside! Spoiled kitties!! It is nice and cool here this morning,and I hope it stays that way! Leaving your vote wrapped in cool breezes and sunshine!~ Purrs,BartCome visit me, My Avatars, Bart & The Outside Boys, Charlie ♥ Raven.......The Enclosure Boys & Gypsy & The Inside Cats.

Triple grandmaster sounds like a pretty awesome award.
You are truly a handsome acrobatic kitty. I love the waves of black and grey body coloring.
I have my meowmy trained to immediately clean my kitty litter as soon as I'm done. I meow and meow so she knows the box is ready for a pick up. I totally understand how you like things just so.
I vote for you continuing to win other awards and practice more high jumps.

Howdy! Welcome to CC!
Well, I'm just surrounded by celebrities. I'm retired from the showing world. I'm Tessa's agent now, she's my baby sister. She just turned 1Yr last week. I stay in the benching area and keep her calm. She'll be in her first 'official' show here in October. She has a mall exhibit tomorrow, she'll be with her brother Diego.
Eynie and Diego just received their TICA Quadruple HHP Grandmaster title a few months ago. Diego was in Victoria BC in June, he won eleven ribbons. That was the most any of us ever receive. Mom is trying to figure out how she's going to get them to Supreme. She's going to start working with babies and their titles.
It's nice that you stopped in for a visit. I enjoyed chatting with you. Stop by again and I'll put on a pot of Catnip tea and we can nibble on Honeysuckle cookies.
