Hi Mc Gee
Another scorcher today..we hit the mid 80's again. It was 90* yesterday and this is only May, can't imagine what July will be like.

They keep calling for rain, but it never comes, so mom keeps waterin' the flowers outside. We do not like the hose, so we come upstiars when she does that, she doesn't get us wet, but we are afraid the water will get us anyway.

Mom is all done painting her dresser and vanity in her room. She ordered a new white chest of drawers yesterday. Mom ordered a new headboard last month and it is white, so instead of replacing all the furniture in her bedroom, she painted it all white, but the chest of drawers is so damaged and the drawers are falling apart, so she ordered a new one.

Thanks also for my COTD win and my birthday wishes and gifts. I know this is late, but with 6 kitties, mom is usually behind with our blogs. I was pleasantly purr-prised by my COTD win, I was not expecting that at all. Thank you!!!

Hope you have a pawsome evening!

Hi Sweet McGee ♥
It's me, Boo Kitty!! I am so happy to hear from my very, very favorite Ragdoll kitty and hope you and your family are all doing well!

I'm hanging in there and eating well, so I'm nice and "fluffy". MOL I still get to take lots of trips to my vet, but my last visit was the longest interim I've had in over 2 years - I went 7 weeks. Mom and Dr. O'Reilly were so happy about that and I was even happier. :)

I hope you're doing okay and I'm sending big hugs to you and all the kitties. I'm also sending big hugs and lots of love to your sweet Mom, too.

Love and hugs to my friend,
Boo Kitty

♥ Then mom and dad went in the back room to get started with going through and sorting things to put in a sale this coming weekend. About a half hour into their work they came back inside only to see that someone went poo on the kitchen floor and got barfy by mom's desk in the front room leaving a trail of vomit around on the front room floor. No one was meowing to mom on who did it!!!! Tehehehe!!!!!

♥ Mom took a few pictures of our neighbors' kitty (Patch boy) who looks like Casper Todd 6451. Anyways, Patch likes to play in our birdbath water being in it with all four paws. Mom also got a picture of him on top of dad's truck as you can see all the pictures in my gallery.

Hi McGee
Day 4
Thank you for all your support and pushing my votey button. It really means a lot that you come by my page.
A household pet is defined as any cat not eligible to be entered in another class at the show. Yes, we have had purebreds in the household pet category they either had a disqualifying trait or no papers, etc. A registered purebred may be shown in one of three catagories: Kitten class (at least 4 months of age but under 8 months of age), Championship Class (8months of age or older and unaltered) and Premiership Class (8months of age or older and spayed/neutered)
Most cat shows are non-vetted and all entries must be free of disease, fungus and parasites and strongly recommended to be inoculated for protection against Feline Enteritis, Rhinotracheitis, Calici Viruses, and tested for FeLV.
I didn’t get any rosettes my first show. It is common for that but there are a few kitties that get rosettes their first show. I had just had my big girl surgery and was a little over 4 months old but hey my sisters never have been in any shows. Mom said she is very proud of me and I’m the best kitty in the show. She tells me that after every ring I go in. I am one lucky little kitty. Mom knows I was real nervous but I let every judge hold me and do whatever they did to me. Ok sometimes it wasn’t comfy. MOL
I hope some of you are getting excited and maybe a few might want to try a show. Everyone says always let you try up to 3 shows before calling it quits. My furriend Scooby Doo’s dad told someone to take her kitty into the bathroom and hold them on the sink like a judge would and tilt the head back to look in the eyes and teeth to help get use to that. He also puts on his swim suit and gets in the tub with all his kitties. They have 3 they show to help with baths and they get use to the water. Ok, I like to bath alone. MOL
Enjoy your day and get lots of mom and dad time.
Kitty kisses

Hi McGee
Day 3
Thank you for supporting me and pushing my votey button. I appreciate you stopping by to visit me. Thank you for putting me in your taglines too.
My first show was only 45 minutes away. I went to the groomer and was very good for Miss Bobbi. She gave me a bath and did my nails two days before the show.
Mom had to go and get a couple yards of material for my curtains and she was a yard short. MOL I have a benching cage I stay in while waiting to be judge. I need my curtains up so we don’t see the other kitties. I have a litter box that I don’t use, mom has food and water for me that I don’t eat or drink and my kitty bed with some toys. I do lay in my kitty bed. Don’t worry, it is normal for some kitties not to use the litter box, eat or drink during the show. Only my furriends that have been going to shows for years and to most of the shows eat and use the litter box. I do love my benching cage. When mom gets it ready then takes me out I jump into my cage. It’s safe in there. I also have another cage, it’s called the judges cage. It’s up by the judge. Mom has to listen for them to call the household pets and my number. I then go and get in the cage with my number on top and wait for the judge to get me out. Mom was nervous how I would react to my first judge but I just let him hold me and look at me. Mom didn’t get a picture because she was watching to make sure I didn’t take off. MOL
I was real nervous. The Del Mar show is very loud and there are so many people there to watch us. Yes, most of the people watch the Household pets. We always have the largest crowds watching us. Each judge is different. Household Pets do not have standards like the pure breeds. We do have to be at least 4 months old, not declawed, in good health with no evidence of fleas, ear mites, etc. Cats 8 months of age or older must be spayed/neutered. Nails should be clipped on all four paws before leaving for the show. HHP’s are judged on condition (general good health), uniqueness, temperament, and grooming. Most people bathe their pet one to two days before the show. The judges loved the household pets because it’s judges choice on who wins. I have one judge that has given me a rosette twice. He always says he picks the cats he would like to take home. I guess I’m real special. MOL
Ok, more tomorrow or I will just keep on meowing. MOL Enjoy your mom and dad time.
Kitty kisses

Hello dear ♥ Mc Gee & family!! It was so very nice to hear from you! We always think of you and keep you close to our hearts. It´s a great joy to know you´re doing well even if you are not much on CC anymore. We miss you. You will always have friends in this part of the world.

Thank you for coming to our page to celebrate our COTD and our birthday with us!! Two years ago we were all alone and now we have our own home, a family and lots of friends all over the world to share our lives with.

We loved each one of the toys, treats, birthday wishes and kind words. They made our day super special. Mom and both of us were thrilled this morning to find our faces in the COTD window. Please, come to our home to celebrate with us. We´re having a huge pawty with all sort of goodies!!

The Arrow and the Song
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

With much love,
from your friends always,
Willow & Charlie

HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND......
well here we are at the end of another month, and what a horrible month it has been!! WEATHER WISE that is. Mommie especially prayed for the month to be as nice as it was last year but it seemed to have turned right the opposite. Ever since the first of this new year it has either been rainy or as we have had all this month SNOWY!! It has been the coldest too all winter long. Mommie says if any one dares say we are still in a drought here with all of this that she was personally going to FLOG them, and I will help her out on that too!! They even had to cancel her Great Nieces first birthday party which was suppose to have been on the 2nd to the next weekend because it was snowing and cold. Well, St. Patty's day was nice and Mommie wore her green and so did I. Well, here it is the end of the month and today is Mommies PURR-DAY!!! Yeap. She says she is turning back the hands of time and is 15 instead of 51. LOL!! She said she would stop when she reached 55 because then she would only be making herself OLDER!! They are having a big Easter/March birthday bash tomorrow over at her sister-in-laws for every one who has a birthday in march in the family and there are at least 5 or 6 if not more!! Mommie cant wait...more prezzies she said!! Me and Poppie just gave her some money and lots of hugs and love. Poppie grumbles because she bought big curtains for the big bay window but Mommie said that was what she was wanting and needing for so long. She had to cut and hem them up though and sew them together because the bay window is so wide. But she said she was tired of the thin lace curtains and felt like peepers were always looking in. So the ones she got are drapery material and just plain and white but Mommie said it was better that way in case she ever wanted to change the colors, then she wouldnt have to worry about ever buying any new curtains to match. But now she wants a pretty SCARF to drape down over the top of the curtains to give them drama and some bit of color. *SIGH* here we go again Poppie!! LOL!! My human sister is getting her a new bathing suit for the summer because she is getting a giant new pool in her back yard this year and is building a deck around it and all. Mommie said more worries for her and turning grayer headed too about the two Grand kids falling off in it. The older one who is nearly 7 can almost swim but the younger one who is 2, well, Mommie said even the best of swimmers can sometimes manage to make a mistake. lets hope it never happens though. Well, Mommie said time to move along with the day because she has to go to the grocery store to get stuff to make a big meatloaf for tomorrow. Wonder if I get to sample any?? Well, take care and all have a WONDERFUL EASTER!!!!!!

~Trixie's Tantalizing Animal Tales~ March 7th
~*~It’s a shout-out pawty! Please pounce over to paw MARCUS #229838 a vote today so he can bask in the warm spotlight of COTD fame tomorrow!~*~
I think we were all very impressed with the world’s best mouser, Towser, & I don’t see her record being broken any time in the near future but I loved reading your comments about her prowess & deeply appreciate your vote support!
Well kitties…today will be the finale for the world’s largest & smallest animals so that tomorrow I can pounce in another direction. I’d hate for anyone to get bored, plus the fact that I, the Calico Cyclone, can’t sit still in once place for too long…MOL! Discovering a new adventure is always at the top of my daily agenda & having you pounce along with me makes it a zillion times more fun!
The largest animal on Earth is the BLUE WHALE. Blue whales can measure anywhere from 75 feet (23 m) to 100 feet (30.5 m) from head to tail, and can weigh as much as 150 tons (136 metric tons). That's as long as a 10-story building and as heavy as about 112 adult male giraffes! These days, most adult blue whales are only 75 to 80 feet long; since whalers hunted down most of the super giants. Female blue whales generally weigh more than the males. The largest blue whale to date is a female that weighed 389,760 pounds.
THE CAPYBARA is the largest living rodent in the world & is related to guinea pigs. Its common name means "master of the grasses". Capybaras have heavy, barrel-shaped bodies and short heads with reddish-brown fur on the upper part of their body that turns yellowish-brown underneath. Adult capybaras may grow to 4.3 ft. and weigh up to 140 lb! They have slightly webbed feet, no tail, and 20 teeth.
EEEK…even this tormentor of rodents won’t mess with those big monsters! Now it’s time to present some of the smallest living creatures on earth so let’s go take a peek but please control your urge to pounce…MOL! THE PYGMY MARMOSET is the smallest monkey in the world. They live in family groups led by a parental couple & most of the time the male parent carries the offspring! The young go to the mother during feeding but they depend on dad for transportation. After a few months they will jump around looking for food and excitement on their own.
FENNEC Foxes are the world's smallest fox. These small nocturnal fox are found in the Sahara of North Africa. Fennec Foxes are smaller than housecats so they’re a favorite mean for the large eagle owls living in the area ! Living in sandy, dry regions, their large ears keep them cool and help them hear rodents. Their ears are bigger than their faces which make them absolutely adorable!
That concludes my meows about the world’s smallest & largest animals. Tomorrow I’ll give you a little comic relief before we take our next weekend trip to visit another zoo. Thank you for your votes & meows of support for my COTM campaign dear furiends!

2/28/13 Final Official Blog of King Barney! +30
Wow! That does sound final! Tomorrow we sleep in--- wonder if the dogs will understand. Ginger woke mom before 4am today and had to go out. Zeus is trying to wake her up with purr therapy. This month has flown by, though there were days it didn't seems so. We have been kept busy with prayers and visits to sick kitties and families in our realm and with fun celebrations too!

Well, I have been been searching for an appropriate story for this morning and I keep coming back to mom's friend Anne, who isn't a rescued cat or dog, but probably one of our best friends. Mom says she learned most of what she knows from her, about our needs and behavior. Mom met Anne when she first joined the rescue. Anne was the oldest member, even back then, gruff to people, but one could not find a kinder or more caring person, when it came to rescuing cats and dogs. Anne was the real work horse of the group--- making sure everyone had food and supplies, bringing it to the colonies of feral kitties the rescue supported. Live-trapping cats, bringing them to vet appointments for healthcare and spay/neuter. Anne helped with transportation to adoptions and had a special Kennel license for her home. She fostered many special needs cats through the years, ones needing regular medications, having physical disabilities, or diseases such as feline leukemia, which other groups might euthanize.

When mom first met Anne, she didn't talk much, especially to new people. You had to prove that you were there for the long haul. Finally, when mom's car died, she needed a ride to the adoptions and Anne gave her that ride. Gradually they became closer and Anne began asking her for help with such things as kitten and cat trapping. She taught mom about caring for motherless kittens and understanding the needs of feral cats. One weekend Anne had a family event to go to and she asked mom to take care of a cat she was fostering and had a feeding tube. Mom doesn't even remember why it had a feeding tube, but she then realized that she had earned Anne's trust.

You may remember that we announced last weekend that Anne needed to go into a nursing home. Mom does hope to visit soon, as it is not far from our home. Anne surely needs your continued prayers. She was always a fiercely independent person and has not had an easy life. When she was young, she had an alcoholic husband and raised 5 children without much assistance from him. After she lived by herself and dedicated her life to the rescue. Now she is in her mid to late 80s and has both physical and memory issues and surely is struggling with depression, because she always was the one who took care of herself and others. Do apologize for ending on a downer, it was not intended. The up is that we are all in this life together, no matter who we are--- cat, dog or human. As we age, the lines between friends and family blur and we are dependent on both, whether near or far away.We thank you again for being our CC family.

2/26/13 Final Tuesday as King Barney! +15
By Friday Morning you will have a new Queen JosieMae#193862 and we will be sleeping in, so we can come come back and begin blogging on our own schedules, as our ordinary selves. We want everyone to know it has been decided to have the official Coronation on Thursday 2/28/13 at 7:30pmEST, 6:30Central, 4:30Pacific. We also want to let you know that since we have received so many positive comments on our rescue blogs, we would like to continue bringing you stories, though on a less regular schedule, say twice a month or more, if mom is up to it. We will continue to leave them on the Inspiration page, so you may also consider that a reading room for our stories. We are still looking for the battery charger to get the camera up and running and will add pictures from our stories on the Inspiration page too.

Well, we did promise to finish Rosebud's story and mostly just to tell what a special kitty she was and how she ruled the house in her day. Once she came to mom the second time, there was no doubt she was going to stay. Mom's friend knew how much mom loved Rosebud and said Rosebud was too old to make more changes. She did tell her too, how feisty a cat Rosebud was in her youth. She got along with Midnight in the house, but if she happened to get outside, she had no qualms about chasing the largest of dogs out of her yard! Once she settled in with mom, she had a few other tricks up her sleeve, so to speak. Not that she wore sleeves. This was still during the time of Pasha the Great and, as you might remember, he had to be kept away from other cats, because he simply didn't accept them. Well, one afternoon mom returned from work to find Rosebud in her room, curled up by the heat register, with Pasha and Agatha! She was grooming Pasha and simply gave mom a look to say, "I'm in control now." Mom almost fainted, but it wasn't a one time occurrence. From that time on, Rosebud was part of a trio.

Rosebud did have her weaknesses when it came to health and some of them serious, like her allergies to fish and antibiotics. Before mom figured out the fish allergy, it meant several runs to the vet and it is not easy to find catfood without fish in it! Rosebud's face and ears would turn bright red when she ate anything with fish and she would vomit, with symptoms becoming progressively worse as time went on. Mom knew about human's with fish allergies and she searched for catfood without fish, finally discovering Wellness Chicken and Turkey flavors, with no added fish oils. The problem with many foods are that while the label says chicken, fish oil is added as a supplement. That is great for most cats, but can be deadly for one with allergies. She also was sensitive to many commonly used antibiotics, which made things difficult in times of illness. Luckily, she was a very healthy cat, for the most part.

So that was Angel Rosebud's story for the most part. She is a very special kitty in mom's heart and lived well into her teens.

2/23/13 Happy Caturday and Big Thank You All!
How goes McGee? Sorry we did not start yesterday, but mom was just feeling overtired with all the snow she had to clear and then there was Zeus, who snuck out twice! The snow was soft and up to his neck. Didn't stop him! Mom just stood outside and let him have a good run, because chasing him wouldn't have done any good and he does know where the door is.

Anyway, we want to thank you so much for our Meezers ACOTD and all the friends, who came by in memory of the fourth Anniversary of A.Rosebud's passing. Rosebud was very special to mom and I don't know how much you know of her story. She was originally rescued as a kitten by a friend of mom's. She was probably over two years, when mom's friend asked her to kitty sit Rosebud and another female black LH named Midnight for the first time, because they were moving to Duluth, MN and did not have a house picked out in that area yet. The two cats were neither spayed or vet checked for a long time, so mom took them on the agreement that she would get that done, with no cost to the family. Mom's friend has a learning disability and the family had other dysfunctions, including an alcoholic husband. The cats were not abused, but there was never money for proper vet care. Anyway, the cats were spayed and returned to the family, once they had a home in that city. A few years passed and the family was moving again. This time they had Rosebud and a year old pup named Ginger and were planning a drive to Florida. Midnight, who was up in her teens, had passed the Bridge due to breast cancer. When mom had her spayed, she had several tumors and they had been removed, but they did come back and she was brought to a vet and euthanized, before they moved again. The Tumors were inoperable and cancer had spread. Anyway, this time they asked mom to take Rosebud and keep her, because they knew mom loved Rosebud and would give her the best home possible. Mom also asked for their dog, a Rottweiler mix. She could see that Ginger was very gentle and friendly, but fearing the family had been living homeless more than once, she knew that often Animal Control people would simply euthanize certain breeds of dogs, if they were taken in. Mom was determined that that would not happen to Ginger. The original contract was that they had to demonstrate they had jobs and a secure place to live. That did not happen. Ginger is almost 13 and still with us.

Sorry, we were going to tell more about Rosebud too, but are running out of room, so will do that on Tuesday. Needless to say, she also lived with mom several years until she crossed the Bridge. Thank you so much for all your votes, both for her, our Angel Meezers and for me, King Barney. As I come to my last week, I cannot totally tell you what a special time it has been and do hope our friend JosieMae has as much fun as we have. Love to all, K.Barney and family, mom Judi too.

2/21/13 Made it to Thursday Day for K.Barney! +2
Got mom up by 4:00AM, but she still isn't awake. Today she is remembering our Angel Rosebud, who passed 2/21/09 and was a contemporary of Angels Pasha and Agatha. Rosebud was the only cat Pasha accepted to associate with after Agatha. Come to think of it, I don't think we have told Rosebud's story, but guess that will have to wait until next week, because we do have to finish Grisha's.

Anyway, mom brought Grisha home and put him in the now famous guestroom. She had high hopes that Pasha would adjust to him, especially after adjusting so well to Agatha, but it was not to be. Mom had to keep Grisha in the guest room, except when she could close Pasha in her room and give him a bit of time to roam the house. She felt very bad and wasn't sure what to do. Going back to the Humane Society was not an option.

Well, it just so happened that mom did have a friend,Marilyn, who stayed with her frequently, while she was looking for a more permanent place to live. Mom had met Marilyn at her church. Marilyn had some learning disabilities, but was very independent and was taking classes to become a certified nursing assistant. Of course, while staying with mom, Marilyn did have to share the guestroom with Grisha, who worked his charm on her too. Whenever Marilyn was there, he was her best friend and purr therapist! Doesn't take a detective to see where this was leading! When Marilyn finally found a place to stay, Grisha went to live with her in her apartment.

We are not quite to happily ever after yet. Marilyn had asthma and after a few months it got much worse and, she was told that she really needed to give up her cat. She was heartbroken, but then another opportunity came up. With her asthma getting worse, she really was not safe living alone and couldn't return to living with mom either. There was an opening in a group home and a community called "On Our Own." Not only was Marilyn able to find a safe place to live and job opportunities, but Grisha found a new home and purpose too, although he had to live in a different house than Marilyn-- as a therapy cat! The house residents cared for him and he gave lots of purr therapy and love!

Again, we are running out of space. Grisha and Marilyn have both passed over the Bridge, but lived very productive and caring lives. Stay warm and we will come back with another story on Tuesday. Hope to see everyone this weekend, with more purrsonal visits and please, if you have questions, we will be glad to answer any we can.

2/19/13 Happy Tuesday to You From King Barney!
The temp is +5, but a windchill of -14. The good mews is that its the warmest temp in our state. Can you believe that this month is more than halfway over! I do hope you have been enjoying it and your time with us at the castle. We have also been enjoying JosieMae's blogs and we remind all to vote for her page#193862 daily, so she can be Queen of March.

Well the bad mews is that mom is still looking for the camera charger, but the good is that we will have another pic to go with today's story when she finds it. I thought I would tell the story of her first visit to the Golden Valley Humane Society, Golden Valley, MN, not far from us. It was shortly after her grandmother had passed and during the time of Angels Pasha and Agatha. She was job hunting and found a notice of an opening in Humane Education for the Humane Society. Now, at that time she knew she didn't qualify for it, but she wanted the info.
It sure was an interesting trip too. They gave a tour of the facilities, including the adoption areas, which included dogs, cats and other critters. The cats were kept both in cages and had large free rooms, where they were given time out of the cages. Well, I'm sure many of your pawrents know the danger of visiting the cat area of the Humane Society and mom didn't get out free either. As she walked through a stripped orange paw came out of a cage she passed and grabbed her arm. Mom stopped and said hi, removing the claws from her clothing and giving the cat a pat. She turned to leave and again she felt a tap and the claws grabbed her firmly. Again, she stopped to pet the cat. His eye caught hers, as if to say "get me out!" Mom thought about it, but she had Pasha at home and knew she had been told he was not good with other cats. Anyway, she continued her tour, but had to pass this cat once more on the way out. She did not even have him in mind, when the same paw stopped her one last time. The eyes pleaded--- "Please lady, I need to get out of here--- lets blow this pop-stand!" This time she asked about him and his adoption fee. It was only $35.00, with a gift certificate for a low cost neuter. That day Grisha, which is what mom named him, escaped with mom to a new life! It wasn't the end of their adventures, because, although mom kept him in the guest room and had him neutered immediately, he did not get along with Pasha, who wanted to kill him--- no doubt about it.

As usual, we will have to turn this into a two-parter and finish on Thursday. This story has a wonderful ending, so stay tuned. Grisha was a really sweet cat, downright irresistible cat, and even though mom knew it wouldn't work to keep him with Pasha, he was never going back to the Humane Society.

Enjoy your Tuesday! See you Thursday and hope your week is a lot warmer than our promises to be. King Barney.

2/14/13 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY--- K.BARNEY +27!
Good morning friends and Happy Valentine's Day! The Ice Carnival is set up and ready for your visits. Come for Breakfast and stay all day! Special activities for children and kitties of all ages. A very special Valentine's Eve Ball 6:30--8:00pm Central time. All on King Barney's page, of course. Sleigh rides and royal carriage rides for all, as well as midway Ferris wheel and carrousel, etc. Molly could use help on last minute decorations and Zeus and Andy are busy shoveling last night's snow, to be saved for the snow forts and snowballs.

Almost forgot--- we did promise to finish Tigger's story and have to apologize the pictures are still not available. Mom is looking for the battery charger.
Anyway, except for the terrible earmites and a bit of frostbite, Tigger was remarkably healthy. The vet cleaned his ears, gave him a full exam and shots. He was already neutered, but no form of ID. Mom got extra meds for his ears and the chaplain did call back and officially adopted Tigger back from mom, which turned out to be a good idea though you might ask why, since he originally found the kitten. Well, about three years later, the chaplain called again and said he had a problem. He had to move and could not take Tigger, so Tigger returned to mom to find another home. And, as luck would have it, he found one in record time, even with mom's strict screening. He was an extremely friendly orange cat and very outgoing. He found a new family with some children, who loved him dearly and forever. Mom kept in touch for several years.

Don't forget votes for JosieMae #193862, your future Queen of March. Visit Barney's pg#74382 for the Valentine's Ice Carnival, read details in his profile area and see pictures at the bottom of his page. We will add new activities as thought of or suggested and see you for the live-blog Ball this evening! K.Barney and family

2/12/13 Happy Second Tuesday of February! +17
King Barney here--- time is going so quickly here and our friend JosieMae #193862 is doing so well on her Catpaign trail for Queen of March. Do keep sending her encouraging meows, as we well know it is not as easy on the trail as it looks.

The weather here at the castle is cold, but we did not get as much snow as we thought. It was heavy and wet though and hard to shovel. Good for ice sculpture, however, and the prep for Thursday's carnival is coming along beautifully. The Carnival will be on all day Thursday, but, if kitties like, we can do live some live blogging between 6:30-- 8:00 Central time. You have to adjust the hours for your area. Thursday's blog will list all the activities and if you have have suggestions, please let us know.

Well, just enough time for a short story for today. This one is about another kitten named Tigger too. This kitten was rescued some years back by a Salvation Army Chaplain, who worked at a homeless shelter in our city. He called the rescue's hotline late one night, with the story of a tiny orange kitten he had found in a snowdrift. The kitten's ears were bloody and itching something fierce, but otherwise he seemed ok, just cold and hungry--- very hungry. The kitten had the worst case of ear mites mom had ever seen. Anyway, the chaplain was attached to the kitten, but couldn't afford a veterinarian. Mom had ear medications at home, but knew the kitten really needed to be seen by a doctor, so she took it on a temporary basis. The chaplain was in the process of moving and promised to call back in a few days.

Again, we must cut this story short and finish on Thursday. Do apologize for leaving you hanging. Mom also promised to hunt for pictures of the two Tiggers and post them on the Daily Inspiration page, but we have to find the charger for our camera. Will be sure to do that as soon as we are able. Have a Super Tuesday and we will see you on Valentine's Thursday! King Barney

Happy Caturday! King Barney and family visits---
Hey friends--- do hope you and the family are well. Just coming by on a purrsonal visit today and hope all is well. We are still waiting on snow here and not sure how much is coming. How is Apple Valley? Mom's left knee is bothering her. She did a lot of walking both Wednesday and Friday. She really needs some better walking shoes for winter, but her feet are wide and hard to fit. She enjoys walking and the knee problem is very frustrating. Hope to see everyone again on Tuesday with another story and plans for the Valentines Day Ice Carnival.

2/7/13 Finally on CC --- Happy Thursday!
King Barney here, I hope. We will see when I finish this blog and hope I can at least post it to this page and on the CMR. Will do as much delivery as CC allows. We take it that everyone has been having problems too. Other than last night and today, everything has been going well around the castle. Mom's left knee is hurting, so she is trying to rest it today.

Well today's story is a rather short one about mom's first kitten, not counting college days. It was about a year after she began living at home with Gmeow, just before A.Pasha came into the picture. Her mom's cousin Katie and her husband lived just outside a small town in Minnesota on 80 acres of wooded land. They called their home the Tall House in the Woods and it was one of mom's favorite places to visit. Katie loved cats and rescued many during her lifetime. Katie is still alive, but has severe health issues and is no longer able to live in her home and is in a care facility.

Anyway, one day mom was visiting Katie and Katie had a momcat and litter of six kittens that had been abandoned in the woods. She knew they were abandoned, because the mom and kittens were all friendly and allowed her to handle them. Mom played with the kittens that day and when she was ready to leave, Katie brought her one of the kittens, a boy named Tigger and told mom to take him home. Mom protested that she couldn't. Gmeow didn't like cats and she couldn't. Well, Katie wasn't taking no for an answer. She gave mom a litter box and litter, a kitty bed and bowls, so the kitten went home with mom. Gmeow wasn't happy, but mom promised to keep the kitten in her room and kept her promise for sometime--- a few months anyway.

Well, today's story is not merely about how mom got her first kitten, but also about Tigger's first best friend. You will remember that at this time, mom did not have any other pets, so Tigger was very special to her. If she knew all the dangers of cats going outside that she does now, this friendship might never have happened. Anyway, Tigger was in the backyard and mom went out to look for him. She heard him climbing around in a large pine tree and went to call him down. The tree had thick branches and mom stood right next to it, trying to figure out where Tigger was. Just then a head popped out, but it wasn't Tiggers--- it was a grey squirrel! Then, another head close behind--- Tigger! Mom quickly went to rescue Tigger, thinking the squirrel was after him. She took him inside to safety. Well, that might have been the end of the story, but the next day mom heard scratching on the screen door--- The grey squirrel was hanging on it, as if to ask it Tigger could come out to play! Tigger was at the door in a flash--- and wanted out to play with his friend.

Well, that is the story for today and now mom needs a bit of purr therapy after remembering that story and her very special Tigger cat. Remember to vote for Josiemae#193862, so she can be your Queen of March.

~Mid-week meow from the NICE Crew~
I often wondered what could be more fun than a barrel of monkeys & today I found it is HAS to be making my little sisters run in fear...MOL! They were romping & running like they do every day but today they made the mistake of tromping right across ME when I was cleaning myself. I jumped up & went in hot pursuit, not caring which one I got to first. Our paws of justice (Patches) was standing in my way meowing "hold on there Mr Boo" but I wasn't hearing any of it...MOL! I raised my paw to her & she got this shocked look on her face & stepped to the side to let me pass without incident. My hunt for the two maniacs took me into the bedroom, where they'd both taken refuge under the bed, so I sat on the floor & waited...& waited. They wouldn't come out & I didn't have all day to wait so I decided to go over to their food dishes to eat as a way to lure them into the open. Hmmm...they didn't fall for that one either. One last long glare under the bed later I decided to give it up & take a nap. Out to the rocking chair in the living room I went & as soon as I was almost asleep a calico kissing monster snuggles in beside me. Darn...I can't stay mad when she does that...MOL! The white whirlwind also gave me a kiss on the nose but she didn't stick around for a nap. Guess she still had too much energy left because she took off at top speed toward the back of the house. They might be monsters but they're MY monsters(MOL) & I know they love me just as much as I do them. I just wish they'd look before they leap a little more often. Well I've got to go because I see that mom has crackers with ring bologna & cheese for her lunch & maybe I can give her that pleading look so I can get a nibble of the meat...MOL! Have a great day everyone & I'll meow again soon.

Soft purrs,
Zaboo & NICE Crew

2/5/13 Wow! First Official Tuesday! +23 & snow!
Good Morning dear friends! Hard to believe my first Tuesday as King and I have been on the thrown for 5 days! Sure glad for that beautiful silken purple pillow I was given after my coronation--- highly appreciated! Remember we have an open Castle policy---- come for brunch and stay as long as you like. Plenty of room and food. Steve--- we found a while truckload of cocoa, with mini marshmallows even. The kitchen staff put an order in for another to come next week and also restocked your and Zeus's TomCave.
Everyone feel free to read the menu up on the profile section of my purrsonal K.Barney page. Let me know anything you want to add.

Business taken care of, everyone asked us to continue our stories, so we certainly will. Thought we would start start off with a couple more Pasha tales. The one for today is about Pasha and mom's G'meow. Now Gmeow wasn't a catlover, but she did have a relationship with Pasha and he with her. Pasha loved Gmeow and would do anything for her. He always sat with her during breakfast and while mom was busy doing other things, like getting ready for work, she would hear Gmeow say, "Now you're not getting anymore!" So if Gmeow didn't like cats, why was she always conversing with Pasha and not giving him anymore of things? Mom finally caught Gmeow giving him the last of her Cherrios and milk. She asked Gmeow,"If you don't care for cats, why are you giving him that?" Gmeow--- "So he will go away." As we said, he always had breakfast with Gmeow!

Pasha was very intelligent. One night he woke mom out of a sound sleep with a sharp bite to her nose! Ouch! Pasha! Why--- he ran in the direction of Gmeow's room. He came back to make sure mom was up and coming with him. Then mom heard Gmeow calling--- she had fallen on the floor. Mom quickly checked. Gmeow actually was ok, but scared. She probably wasn't fully awake when she tried to get up. Nothing was broke and she went back to bed. Had it not been for Pasha, however, she might have been on the floor all night, because she was scared she had broke something and wouldn't move without help. It was cold that night and there could have been more serious consequences. Mom called the doctor the next day, but Gmeow was fine and he told mom just to make sure she stayed away from the stairs at night. Of course, Gmeow still didn't believe Pasha had got mom up, but mom knew the truth and that is what counted. Pasha was a very smart cat!

Well, that is it for today. Please remember to vote for Josiemae #193862, your COTM/future Queen of March. Now Gmeow's Birthday was March 8, 1888. She would have been 125 this year! She did live to 101yrs old.

Love K.Barney and family, mom Judi too.

1/31/13 Thrusday--- The Time Grows Near!
Barney here. The temperature here is +4, with the wind -20! Q.A.Sugar has contacted us and requests an early Coronation Ceremony. Details are being set-up as I speak and we hope to inform you before this goes out today. News flash! Q.A.Sugar just contacted us and says that 6pm her time would work. That would be 5pm EST/ 4pm C/ 2pm Pacific. The Ceremony will be rather brief on the CMR page #46883, but with a reception after. After 6:30pm Central time tonight, you may come to Pawty on my page #74382. Zeus has promised to work on the decorating and is asking all Orange cats to assist, probably with TPing the premises, not that we don't trust him. Hefty has already asked Ms Chyna Doll to be the royal chef, so you know the food will be topnotch! Its been a long, but inspiring Catpaign and we have all enjoyed it immensely! All of you have been so encouraging and giving kind praise about our rescue stories. Mom is feeling humbled with your comments, because she only does what is necessary and she knows how to do. We are all humbled by all your votes of confidence and I hope honor you as your King of February.

Not sure where we will go in the month ahead, but trust inspiration will find us. We have been informed that the royal blogging days are Tuesday and Thursday. We will surely visit this weekend on Caturday or Sunday to let you know how our move in to the Castle went and what events are planned for the week ahead. Other days we hope to do a lot of more purrsonal blogging and visiting all the kitties in our Kingdom. Please join in the spirit of Love this Month of February and visit as many of of the sick or otherwise struggling CC families as you are able. Take time to visit new kitties and hunt up old friends you may have lost contact with. Some inactive kitties may still check pages occasionally, so just leave a note and let them know they are in your thoughts and prayers. Be ready for February Fun in the month ahead!

See you at the Coronation, if you are able or semi- live blogging on Barney's page#74382 after about 6:30pm Central time tonight. No early blog tomorrow--- move in day. We will tell you all about it on the weekend.
