Weekend Cat Blogging: Sophie

I was looking through some of my kitty photos and came across this one. Wow. Time sure flies! This is my Sophie, almost one year ago. She died a couple months after this photo was taken, after she got into the path of some dogs. At least that's what I believe happened. She disappeared one morning and never came back. Her body was found next door by the gardener. She left behind three beautiful kittens, one of whom I kept, Henry. I can't believe Henry is one year old already!

Happy Weekend Cat Blogging!

Weekend Cat Blogging with Sasha

So Sasha absolutely loathes the camera. She only has to see it and she's off in a hurry to...I don't know where. She does not want to be anywhere in the vicinity of the camera. She's not afraid of it, she just doesn't like her picture taken and will do anything to avoid me getting a proper shot. She'll come and rub herself against my leg so that all I can get is a back shot, or she'll turn her head right or roll over just as I press the button. :-/

So you can imagine my surprise when I took out the camera and she jumped up beside me and sat while I snapped several photos of her. She just sat there giving me a look that said, "Make sure you take enough pictures to last you a lifetime Miss, cause you ain't getting any more of me after this once in a lifetime opportunity!"

And then, once she had enough of the flashy box, she did her get-up-and-walk-off thing.

I think, though, that she did have someplace to get to in a hurry. You see I know she didn't want to be late to board the Friday Ark over at the Modulator and I know she really had to go get all cleaned up for this Week's Weekend Cat Blogging over at "Sher's What Did you Eat?" and the Carnival of the Cats over at Mind of Mog. Ooo! What fun this weekend! :-D

Weekend of Silence & Remembrance

So many of our friends in the cat blogosphere are going through a very hard time with illnesses, deaths and missing kitties. So Kashim & Othello (who are hosting Weekend Cat Blogging this time around) have decided to have a Weekend of Silence and Remembrance in honour of our beloved friends who are no longer with us.

Weekend Cat Blogging

Max & Sebastian NOT drinking out of their water bowl

Our momma's very busy this weekend cleaning up after the storm. Gosh these storm things really are messy and leave a lot of work behind for others to clean up! I sure hope we don't see anymore of them this year!

Stripe

But even though she's pretty busy she still found time to get us ready to board the Friday Ark # 153 over at the Modulator and she's still gonna sign us up for this week's Weekend Cat Blogging! Yeah! This Weekend Cat Blogging is being hosted by BellyTimber.

It's Friday! It's the Weekend!

Yeah! It's the Weekend! And so it's time for another Weekend Cat Blogging, Carnival of the Cats and time to Board the Friday Ark No. 152 over at The Modulator! This Weekend Cat Blogging event is being hosted by Catsynth and Carnival of the Cats will be over at Stranger Ranger on Sunday.

Remember the Blue Bowl? That very bowl that Sebastian always loved to curl up in to sleep ?

Well, last weekend Sebastian broke the bowl. *sigh* He was in the bowl sleeping when something startled him. He jumped out of the bowl, pushing it off the table and it...broke. :-(

So now he just sleeps on the table with Max or sometimes he climbs on top of me and curls up in my lap. :-D

---^..^--

SPLASH!! Cat overboard!

Sebastian fell off the Friday Ark into the ocean!!

...well, o.k. ...what really happened was that he got a little carried away and jumped off the Ark and landed in a ...well...he landed in a fish pond! :-D

Yesterday evening I heard a SPLASH outside my window. Then a thud. Naturally I immediately thought to myself, "Oh yeah. Sebastian has something to do with that."

As I went to investigate, I saw Sebastian coming through the window dripping wet doing that funny little walk cats do when they're wet. You know the walk? Two steps forward, left back leg shake, one step forward, front right leg shake, two steps forward right back leg shake...He had apparently fallen into the Fish Pond outside.

He looked a little surprised and embarrassed to see me standing there staring at him. So under the bed he went and refused to come out for me to dry him off. In a little while he was out again, still kind of wet, but a little less embarrassed. Besides he was curious about those furry toys I was shaking at him.

Well he's all dried off today and has boarded the Friday Ark # 151 over at The Modulator.

But this Weekend none of us here at Chat Katze will be partying. We're too saddened by the heartbreaking news over at "What did you Eat?".

Our friend Sundance was diagnosed with FIP and was so very, very ill that his mom, Sher, had to make the very difficult decision to let sweet Sundance go.

Sher & Upsie are hosting this Weekend Cat Blogging and on their page is a wonderful tribute to our dear friend Sundance.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to Upsie and to Sher at this very difficult time.

Good bye sweet Sundance, goodbye.

HAPPY Weekend Cat Blogging: Let's Board the Friday Ark!

This was the sight that greeted me yesterday evening when I came home from work.




OH I AM SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY! His mouth is a little bruised but otherwise he is fine & boy was he hungry! Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts and prayers!

So let's celebrate by boarding the Friday Ark over at The Modulator! And don't forget to stop by
masak-masak for some Weekend Cat Blogging fun with boo_licious !

Weekend Cat Blogging & The Friday Ark!

The thing with Sebastian is this. If you bring anything new into the house or happen to put something new down on a chair or on the floor he feels compelled to go and lie on top of it. New shoes, new curtains, new clothes...new anything. Here he is lying on top of my new curtains. As long as they were down on the chair this was his new sleeping place.

Puddy at it's a Byootaful Life is hosting this Weekend Cat Blogging Party nad is having an optional "Yellow" Theme in honour of the Simpsons Movie opening. Although I can't stand the Simpsons (gasp!!) Sebastian wanted to participate 'cause he just loves themes...and he just looooves to be in the spotlight! :-D


And don't forget that every single Friday The Modulator invites us all to come aboard the Friday Ark so make sure to join in the fun and visit both parties this weekend!

Weekend Cat Blogging in the Friday Ark!

You want me to do what? Get on board a giant boat? What? Oh! You mean it's Friday and it's time to board the Friday Ark?! Oh well of course I'll get on board! I wouldn't miss it for the world! Come on! Let's head on over to The Modulator for boarding!

And by the way, don't forget that Dragonheart over at Dragonheart's Domain is hosting the Weekend Cat Blogging event this Sunday. It's gonna be an extra special weekend too as Dragonheart is only 5 days away from his first Birthday! Yeah!

Man Cat Monday

After this Weekend's Cat Blogging and the fun party on the Friday Ark, BJ was completely worn out. I caught him napping yesterday behind a couple of flower pots. BJ normally likes to sleep under trees outside in the open. When I saw the curled up ball of fur here behind the flower pots I thought at first that it was KC as this is normally her favourite place to snooze. I somehow suspect KC would not have been pleased to know BJ was in her spot as they cannot stand even the very sight of each other and have never, ever gotten along with each other for even one second!

Weekend Cat Blogging

What? It's the weekend? Already? How did it come back around so quickly?

Well, no time to waste! Let's go make sure we get a really good spot on the Friday Ark, you know... the spot right by the air conditioning vent. I'm sure that's where we'll find Upsie blogging this very hot July Weekend.

Weekend Cat Blogging in the Friday Ark!

What? It's the weekend already? Wasn't the weekend just last week?!

Well, if it's the weekend, it must mean that it's party time! Yeah! We're heading on down to one of our favourite little spots where the Friday Ark is about to set sail for a round of Friday Fun.

But the fun and games don't stop there folks! No sir! The Weekend Fun Begins at the Bengal Brats' pets' garden and goes on til the wee hours of dawn on Sunday. Slo grab your party hats and get on board!

We're Blogging this Weekend from the Friday Ark!

It's the weekend! Which means it's Weekend Cat Blogging time! This weekend Scampy over at ScamperDude is hosting. And he's showing us the cutest members of the Cute Kitten Club this weekend. Check it out. They are absolutely adorable!

Don't forget to get on board the Friday Ark! There's loads of fun promised this weekend.

All aboard the Friday Ark! Let's go Weekend Cat blogging!

Yay! It's Friday again! And that means that it's time to board the Friday Ark.

It's also time for Weekend Cat Blogging # 106 being hosted this week by the gracious Puddy over at A Byootaful Life.

Well, KC got so excited that she did a flip and a little dance. Then she got thirsty and rushed on over to her favourite watering hole - a little place known as "The Plant Container!"

That plant water must have tasted really really good. I lifted her and put her in front of her water bowl that contained freash clean filtered water. She took one look at it and went straight back to "The Plant Container". I poked and prodded her while she was drinking and she just continued lapping up this gloriously filthy water.

What is it about dirty water that attracts cats so? :-D

Weekend Cat Blogging with Sasha

This week has been a very hot, dry week, which, of course, is lovely as May was a very wet month. But boy it has been hot, and I do mean hot! So when it started raining yesterday, I was happy, because it has cooled down significantly.

All the other cats want to stay inside when it rains as they don't particularly like to get their paws wet. Sasha, though, doesn't care whether it's wet or dry. If it rains then you can find her under a car somewhere outside, or sheltering under a leaf...outside.

While Puddy over at it's a byootiful life is going into winter, we are feeling the heat of summer coming on. If it's this hot in June, I shudder to think of what it's gonna be like in August! Eeek!

Now be sure to visit Upsie & Sundance over at What did you eat? for cat blogging this weekend!

WCB #104 & Friday Ark Fun!

Sasha. Sasha. Sasha. This little girl is most definitely NOT an indoor cat. She comes inside to eat and that's as much house as she can stand.

She spends every other waking and sleeping hour outdoors. She drinks water only from every puddle, pool and every possible dirty watering hole that is outside. She apparently does not like the taste of fresh water in a clean bowl.

No matter how you brush her, wipe her face clean and otherwise try to groom her to make her look presentable, she just goes outside and rolls in the dust and frustrates the whole thing.

*sigh* Sasha would love to invite all of you to board the Friday Ark and jump into the Weekend Cat Blogging Pool of fun!

Luna over at CatSynth is hosting WCB # 104 this week. Great Job Luna !

Weekend Cat Blogging with KC

Ms. KC decided she wanted to join in the fun and board the Friday Ark this week.

She also decided that she wanted to have some more fun by being the star of this week's Weekend Cat Blogging here at Chat Katze.

WCB #103 is being hosted this week by the very excited Boni and Mini at House of the Mostly Black Cats. They're keeping a very close eye on their Mom and Grandma Beans.

Weekend Cat Blogging # 102 & Friday Ark # 139

AAAHHHH!!! It's that darn camera again!!

At least give me ample warning so that I can come up with a handsome pose for my fans.

Like this :

Alright. Enough with the pictures now.

My beauty sleep calls for me.

Oh. By the way, before I drift off on my 24 hour nap, let me remind you that the "Weekend Cat Blogging" Event this week is being hosted by Kashim & Othello over at Paulchen's Food Blog. Be sure to check out the line up!

Also, be sure to board the Friday Ark!

Weekend Cat Blogging

This is Sebastian's permanent sleeping place. If there's anything in that bowl, say, for example, some apples or oranges, he takes them out one by one and dumps them onto the floor and then climbs in.


Upsie and Sundance over at "What did you Eat? " are hosting this Mother's Day Weekend Cat blogging. And what good little cats they have been to their Mom!



Remember that the doors to the Friday Ark are still open so come on board!

Weekend Cat Blogging

Cats find the weirdest places to curl up...don't they?

We've boarded the Friday Ark and can't wait to see all the beautiful Kitties this weekend!

Weekend Cat blogging is being hosted this week by the lovely Puddy at It's a Byootaful Life.
