Oahu - day 3
Today we will try something VERY different. Picture yourself seated next to a window in an airplane flying 14,000 feet over Oahu’s North Shore. The view is magnificent, but right now you’re a little distracted. The thought of jumping out of a plane is enough to sidetrack anyone — but that’s just what you’re about to do. You’re not going to jump solo, of course. You signed up for a tandem dive, and your instructor will be right there with you. You’ve been properly trained before boarding the plane, and your instructor has jumped hundreds of times, but the riskiness of it is still enough to leave your heart pumping.

Lady Dolly and King Mike are skilled at this sport and will jump in tandem, not with an instructor. Watch how it’s done. There is a picture of their jump on my page. Check out those two crazy kits.

You and your instructor, who is attached to you like a Siamese twin, shuffle to the edge of the hatch. It’s now or never, so out you go. Words cannot describe the sensation of jumping out of an airplane at 8,000 to 14,000 feet. How do you explain fear for a mere moment, soon to be replaced by exhilaration that cannot be compared to anything you’ve ever done?

The “drop” is over. Now you’re floating, enjoying the view. If you’re game, the instructor will perform some twirls and stalls, and even let you “fly” the parachute by yourself. Suddenly, you notice the ground is coming up sooner than you’d planned. The instructor pulls up at precisely the right moment and settles you gently on the ground for a perfect landing.

You can expect the adrenalin rush to last for a while. After all, you just jumped out of an airplane.

Time to watch someone else risking their neck. We attend a polo match on the beach at Mokule‘ia and see a historic game that has been played in Hawai‘i for more than a century. Considered one of the fastest, roughest and most dangerous sports played today, polo was brought to Hawai‘i in the 1880s. The polo field at Mokule‘ia is the only one in the world that is located on a beach. Here we have a tailgate picnic, play ball and fly kites on the field during halftime while watching a skydive performance. Live music takes the stage when the match has ended.

Hi Q Lily
We weren't at last Furiday's game. Mom had an evening meeting to attend & again all day Caturday. Sunday we did make it to the games & were relieved KA didn't play because Mom hadn't done the result. Of course tonight we don't go to the arena, but the Bruins are doing well! yeah!
Terri & mom took a trip to the eye vet yesterday. Her left eye is looking great but the vet says she must continue to take the eye drops furever. Happily one of the drops given will go away, if all things continue to go well.
We'll see you Furiday, hopefully for last game of 2nd round!! (which of course means TIMS/NYR are out)

Hi Q. Lily!
Oh oh. A new doggie in the house! My Mom is always threatening to bring one home, but it hasn't happened yet! Your puppy sounds cute though! Good luck my furiend.

Yesterday the weather turned out to be nice, not too warm, so our Mom took us out for a ride in our cat stroller. It has been a while, but Mom needs the exercise. Callie and I enjoyed it because no one else was out walking (with their dogs!). We saw Orangie sitting on a fence that surrounds the peacock’s house. We didn’t want to scare him so we just walked by shaking our heads, hoping he wouldn’t fall into the peacock’s yard! No sight of Whitey, but I’m sure she has a nice, very hidden spot.

They were both here to eat this morning, so all is well.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the recent tornado outbreaks. The news has been heartbreaking!

Purrs and hugs.

CATS’ RULES OF LIFE (Part 1)

BATHROOMS:
Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare but occasionally rub their legs.

DOORS:
Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get door open, stand looking sad at the humans. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season.

A Word With Whiskers – May 22
MIDNIGHT & STAY AWHILE – by A. Knight
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
“Molly’s cat died,” said Denise’s tearful voice on the phone. “Midnight was hit by a car.” Molly, Denise & I had been friends for 10 years & we all loved Midnight.

Denise explained Midnight had somehow gotten out of Molly’s house & a car had hit him. A neighbor had found Midnight, put him in a box & taken him to Molly. Molly & Midnight had been together for 18 years. My own cat had recently died from old age & I was crushed.

“Let’s go to her house & have a little funeral service,” I suggested. “I’ll pick up flowers & make a little cross with Midnight’s name on it.”

We decided to meet at Molly’s house. I stopped by the flower shop to pick up a bouquet of daises. There was a pet store on the way & I thought they might have an appropriate sympathy card. In the shop was a small gray & black kitten in a cage. It was too soon to get Molly a kitten. You can’t just replace one cat with another as if it were a broken dish. Not yet. The kitten tried to climb over his cage to reach me & did a back flip, making me laugh.

“He’s cute, isn’t he? I don’t know why no one has bought him yet,” the storeowner said. “I guess he is going to stay awhile.”

“Stay Awhile.” I smiled. He had just been named. “I’ll buy him & the cat carrier too.”

If Molly didn’t want a kitten, I would keep him. As I drove to Molly’s, the kitten meowed loudly.

“Be quiet, Stay Awhile, you’re going to mend a broken heart today,” I said, hoping Molly would accept the kitten. Denise & Molly were waiting for me.

“Molly, I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I saw this kitten & couldn’t help myself. I know he can’t replace Midnight, but if you don’t want him, I’ll keep him. His name is Stay Awhile,” I said.

“Stay Awhile? What a silly, delightful name!” She kissed the kitten’s nose. “Of course I’ll keep him. I couldn’t bear one night not having a cat in the house.”

“We should probably-you know-bury Midnight now,” Denise said.

We solemnly dug a grave in the garden & gently placed the box in, covered it up & placed the flowers & little wooden cross into the earth.

Suddenly, a cat leaped over the fence & landed at our feet.

“MIDNIGHT!” we all screamed. Molly grabbed the black cat & lifted him up. “It’s Midnight!” She burst into tears of joy.

“Molly, didn’t you look into the box the neighbor gave you?”
Molly replied, “No, I couldn’t stand to see Midnight dead!” We all laughed hysterically. Some poor stray cat just had a 1st class funeral!

I was thrilled I could keep the kitten! A day that started with tears ended in laughter, thanks to a cat who came to his own funeral & a kitten named Stay Awhile. I bought Stay Awhile to help heal Molly’s broken heart, but instead he healed mine!

I'm sure Renni will let Rika know how she likes to play! Kitties rule & dogs drool! Rika will learn who is boss! MOL. Great game! Bruins are sitting pretty! Got very hot out today! 90*! Mom hasn't opened the windows yet as the building is holding the coolness in. She didn't want to let in the heat. But she will need to bring the fans in from the garage soon.

Hi Lily
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!

Oahu - day 2
Pearl Harbor, Honolulu … This memorial is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives on a fateful day which launched the US into World War II when the Japanese military attacked on December 7, 1941.

Wikipedia tells us Pearl Harbor is a lagoon harbor on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the United States Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941 brought the United States into World War II. On December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war on Japan. In return, December 11, 1941, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States.

The USS Arizona Memorial is the most recognized icon of World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, a unit of the National Park Service. Access is gained through the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Upon entering the visitor center, we head to the NPS Tickets & Information desk where we obtain free tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial program. While waiting for the tour to begin, we rent an audio tour headset, and explore the bookstore and exhibit galleries.

We watch a 75-minute program in one of two theaters. It includes a brief introduction to set the tone for the visit and a 23-minute documentary film which includes actual footage of the attack. After the film, we climb aboard a Navy-operated shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. Note: There are no public restroom facilities on the Memorial so we make quick stops before boarding our shuttle.

The Memorial spans the USS Arizona, a sunken WWII battleship which is the final resting place for most of her 1,177 Sailors and Marines killed in the December 7th attack. In the shrine room, we find a marble wall with the names of all of these men. In addition, we see a smaller marble wall, which lists the names of USS Arizona Survivors who, since passing away, have returned to their shipmates by having their ashes interred inside the fourth gun turret by Navy and NPS divers.

It is important to realize this is not a tourist attraction, but a memorial and grave that deserves to be treated with respect and reverence. This is a place of learning, reflection, and quiet contemplation.

Following our Pearl Harbor visit, we dine at a Five Diamond Hawaii Regional Cuisine restaurant, enjoying wonderful fish and local produce. The pineapple here is so very sweet. Tomorrow, we must head for the Dole Plantation.

Hi Q. Lily!
My sister Callie and I are indoor cats too. We haven't tried to escape in years. Now if we can just convince Whitey & Orangie!

My Mom must not have been reading the cat-signs from Whitey very well this morning, because Whitey got tired of Mom’s petting and she let Mom have it with both paws! Ouch! Mom knew it was her fault for not paying attention more, but she had been distracted with Orangie’s playing Sniff and Run with Mom. Mom was laughing at his antics and didn’t notice Whitey was getting annoyed! MOL! Us cats have to keep these humans on their toes!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the recent tornado outbreaks.

Purrs and hugs.

A Word With Whiskers – May 21
Top Reasons To Keep Cats Indoors – Part 2 (from cats.about.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Next to declawing, the indoor-outdoor question is probably one of the hottest topics for debate, with both sides polarized to their own views. For those holdouts for letting cats roam free, consider more top reasons to keep cats indoors.

• Indoor Cats Do Not Get Hit by Cars. According to one source, more cats are killed by cars annually than are euthanized in U.S. animal shelters.

• Indoor Cats Are not a Danger to Wildlife. Let's face it; cats are predators, & left to their own devices outdoors, will eventually chase & kill birds, rabbits, & other small wildlife. Most of us would rather not see our cats cast in a killer role, & keeping them indoors will help protect wildlife to some degree.

• Indoor Cats Don't Get Lost. As outdoor cats widen their outdoor territories, they may become lost long enough to be "rescued" by other cat lovers, legitimate rescue groups, or picked up by animal control as strays. Statistics show that of "owned" cats turned in to shelters, only three percent are eventually relocated with their owners. Collars can break, & even microchips do not guarantee a cat will not be adopted & kept as an indoor cat by someone else. Why take the chance?

• Indoor Cats Are Not Stolen. “Bunchers” are people who sell cats to laboratories for animal experimentation or research. Their prime source of cats is on the street. Even a cat sitting on his front lawn is fair game for a buncher. Other people pick up cats for use as "bait" for training fighting dogs. Both categories of cat-knappers are the lowest of the low, but they are out there.

• Rarely mentioned, but equally serious, is the possibility of skin cancer from over-exposure to the sun. White & other light-colored cats can develop squamous cell carcinoma, a serious, painful disease.

I don't believe in wholesale statements beginning with, "If you love your cat, you'll do this & that for them." We humans feel different degrees of love for our cats & express our love in different ways. My stance on the indoor-outdoor issue is not "proof" one way or another of loving my cat more than the next guy, nor did my previous belief that cats deserve to be outdoors label me as a "bad" cat owner.

However, I do believe in personal responsibility for our decisions, & ultimately, our decisions may cost us the loss of a very good friend & family member. It's a matter of weighing the benefits against the risks, & being willing to suffer the consequences of our decisions.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Remember that an indoor cat is always safer.

Thank you for pouncing by to help me celebrate my 1st birthday yesterday Lily! I had so much fun playing games, nibbling on the yummy goodies several of you brought along, blowing bubbles & popping balloons! I was so worn out that I slept in & would have missed breakfast if mom hadn't tickled my tummy to wake me up this morning...MOL! Thank you for making my birthday celebration more special by being here with me dear furiend & for the yummy mice krispie treats & beautiful bouquet of balloons tied up with a purple bow too!
I've got lots of goodies left so will leave you a cream cheese frosted catnip cupcake with tuna sprinkles & give you a big hug!

What can I say-the old girl took the day off,turned the alarm off and slept in. *Sigh* when is it ever going to be all about ME.You should see this scary monster(GMa,not me)covered head to toe with gauze and calamine and it just isn't pretty.
Anyway...its ANOTHER rapture pawty today,or is it raptor....same thing. Exactly how many end of the worlds can there be! Any excuse for a pawty is fine by me. Wake me when its over...the world..not the pawty :)

Greetings, pretty Kitty!
Sounds like Mom had a really busy weekend! It was really good that she could spend time with Gpa. Mol, its cute that he didn't like the trade-in offer on his car. Mom worked in the car business for nearly eight years, and she ran into that lots of times. Most folks don't like that they are only going to get wholesale value on their trade-in. Pretty much because the dealer will most likely just take it to auction. Oh well! His best bet is to try to sell the car privately.
Our mom isn't on FB either, but we figure its better to be ignorant sometimes. Still, there sure was a lot of hissing, spitting, and puffy tails at the rink last night. Hope that's the last of it!
The folks are waiting for our neighbor to sign the consent form for the tree trimmer, so he can trim back branches of her huge Monterey Cypress which are pushing into our Redwood tree. In order to trim the branches, he needs to climb her tree. Thus the consent form. Her tree's branches cover a large area of our yard, and push into and encroach our tree.
He hasn't got it back from her yet, so they can't finish the yard work, because the trees are next! She keeps telling Dad she will do it, but nothing yet!
So, Lily, do you have a photo of the smelly little rug rat? What breed of doggie is she? How does she fare with the big dog and Rennie?
Many purrs, Jakar

Hey Lily!
Glad Mom had a nice visit with her Dad. Too bad he wasn't happy with the trade in value. Guess no one ever is. So you have a frisky puppy to train. You will have your paws full. So terrible what happened in Oklahoma! Mom had to turn the news off. Well Mom is tired so we better get her to bed. Peace & love. Sweet Dreams. Kitty Kisses. Dean

Hi Q. Lily!
The outside kitties were on edge this morning, as was Mom when she opened the garage and smelled skunk! My Mom got out her flashlight and tennis racket and went out walking along the street, to hopefully scare it away if the skunk was still nearby. Thank goodness the coast was clear. Not sure what Mom would have done if she had run into the skunk. :( Whitey and Orangie ate fine; everyone just seemed a bit nervous.

Purrs and hugs.

CATS AND FOOD

You will find that feeding a cat is no easy task
What's the big problem you may well ask
Just open a tin and feed them from that
It is obvious my friend you don't own a cat
When outside they will eat a fly or a mouse
But things soon change when they dine in the house
Your fridge might be full of meat, poultry and fish
But what do you put in your fussy Cat’s dish
For to keep a Cat fed we beg, steal and borrow
Because what we give them today they won't want TOMORROW.

A Word With Whiskers – May 20
Top Reasons To Keep Cats Indoors – Part 1 (from cats.about.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Many cat lovers are now savvy that indoor cats are safer cats, while others still think that cats deserve freedom to run in the great outdoors. When humans domesticated cats, we took on the responsibility for their health & welfare. Part of that responsibility is to keep cats safe & in good health. For those holdouts for letting cats roam free, consider these top reasons to keep cats indoors.

• To Monitor Your Cat’s Urinary Tract/Bowel Health. With an outdoor cat, pet owners are unable to monitor painful attempts to urinate or poop. The first, a red flag warning for UTI or urinary tract blockage; the second, a red flag for constipation, bowel blockage or mega-colon.

• Indoor Cats Are Safe From Predators & Dog Packs. Outdoor cats are below predators in the food chain, & they are sitting ducks for owls, raptors, coyotes, & native big cats. Dogs running in packs will consider a cat fair game; even one large dog can easily overpower & kill a cat. Remember that some dogs are also bred to attack; they are not really to blame when their instinct takes over. Even with a full set of fangs & claws, the cat rarely has a chance when caught outside.

• Indoor Cats Don't Create Neighbor Problems. Even "well-bred" cats will venture into neighbors' yards when allowed to roam free. People who don't like cats will not tolerate cats using their gardens as litter boxes, & will sometimes resort to extreme measures to keep the cats out.

• Indoor Cats Rarely Get Abscesses From Fighting. Cats are very territorial & will defend their territory to the death, if challenged by another cat. At the very least, these territorial battles often result in abscessed wounds, which can be deadly if not treated in time. There's also the chance, of course, of cats contracting FIV from deep bite wounds.

• Indoor Cats Are Safe From Human Abuse. Freely-roaming cats are easy targets for gangs of youths with time on their hands, for cat-haters, who seek cats out for target practice, & for neighbors who would think nothing of killing a cat for trespassing on their property. Although animal protection laws are beefing up, prosecution will never bring a loved cat back to life.

• Indoor Cats Can Get Plenty of Exercise. Cats do get exercise, but they can get it safely with interactive toys, climbing towers, scratching posts, & other indoor toys; all much safer than running from dogs or fighting with other cats. Remember also that there are safe compromises for the outdoor experience.

Oh boy!
Backyard games week! Purrfect! I haven't played a good game of lawn Jarts in...never! I don't know why I'l not allowed to touch them,far less throw them.How hard can it be-you close your eyes,throw your paws around wildly,and let it go at any given time. OK then,croquet...but NO...not allowed to have a mallet. So tell me,whats left! Thats right,the sandbox(be careful what your digging for) and the ol Slip and Slide! Lucky for you,I just oiled it down :)

Hi Lily
Thank you for inviting me over to watch the Preakness. That was so much fun and your chicken wings were furbulous. It's too bad that Orb didn't win but I'm glad all the horses finished the race safely. So's Seb's momma.

Whew! It sure is HOT isn't it! The heat will be around for a few more days and Seb's momma isn't happy about that. We'll be in the 60's by week's end. Crazy weather huh!

Have a pawtastic Monday. I hope you don't have any bad storms.

Kitty kisses,
Kieara

Good evening, lovely Lily!,
Well, there sure was a lot of contention at the rink tonight! Not sure what it was all about.
Mom didn't give me as much time as I wanted to visit, so my apologies to you, pretty kitty. Mom was spending most of her time trying to get dinner together while we were visting at the arena. I'm sure we missed lots of stuff.
We're not on FB, so we are out of the loop, but Mom guesses its probably just as well, mol!
Now, what's all this about another doggie? You've gotta tell me about it!
Many purrs, Jakar

Hey Lily!
Was great having you at the arena with us. Very interesting evening. Geez we are sorry your family took in a smelly beast. Heard it was a very sweet puppy. I bet it will grow on you. Thought you were good friends with your other doggie. Bet you two can be friends too. Hope things work out well. Peace & love. Sweet Dreams. Kitty Kisses. Anderson
