They See Me Rollin'

It's PO'Monday!

From July, 2013, Celestial Paddy O'Malley enjoyed rolling...
...then he was covered in clover!

You've Got A Friend

 International Day of Friendship

The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.

Mr. Puddy

We enjoy friendships with folks from all over the globe:
Israel
Switzerland
Australia
Ireland
Georgia
Portugal
England
Canada
Brazil
Finland
Germany
Poland
Netherlands
Scotland
Poland 
Wales
Italy
and one specific friend in Thailand: Mr. Puddy

The Pudster isn't well, and is currently staying over at the veterinarian's office to monitor his lungs.

Many folks in the pet blogging community are friends with Pud and his meowmy, who is beyond worried about her sassy boy.

Any spare purrs and prayers sent to Mr. Puddy are gratefully appreciated.

Puddy's FB page is listed under the photo above, and blog is on the right side --->

Friendship has no boundaries, no social position, no requirements, other than delight in each other's company and words.
😽😽😽

P.S.
If I missed listing any friend's country, mea culpa.

Afterall, The United States is big enough for us to consider parts of it as 'beyond the pale', and most likely a different country from our own wee community in Michigan, and we are gobsmacked every time a European friend takes a holiday, and manages to visit two or three other countries during that time!

Here, we can drive for 8 hours and remain in the same state of the union.

However, we do have Canada to the south, east, and north of our location, so already we feel internationally inclined.

Gimme!

Truth!
Curious and nosey, cats want to inspect every bit of food, whether they want it or not!

HopCat A2

Had the distinct pleasure for visiting The Ann Arbor Art Fair last Saturday, with my sister and niece.

Hundreds if not thousands of gifted artists displayed their work, as well as nearby shops, musicians, restaurants, and many non-profit community outreaches.

It was HOT, it was SUNNY, and we were PARCHED.

Imagine how delighted we were to find: HopCat Ann Arbor

Thanks to my sister and niece, we chowed down on Caesar Salad and Mac-N-Cheese with bacon, for them, as I ate Vegan Tacos and drank multiple glasses of delightful unsweetened iced tea.

We won't mention the Cosmic Fries as they disappeared as if a mirage...
 
Revitalized, we spent a few more hours strolling, absorbing, chatting, and really enjoying ourselves.

Love finding cat-related items when least expecting it!

Sing Out!

 It's Sweetnesday!

Close your eyes, and image you are speaking with me on the phone or online meeting platform.

The video below will let you know what will often be a part of the background noise: 

She may be deaf, but she has excellent timing.

This is a purrfect presentation of her whiskey-and-cigarettes voice, even if the video portion is blurry.

Ooze

It may be Twozday, however Manny is again flying solo.

The Manster LURVs this old beddy in the bay window, yet he cannot seem to keep all of himself inside of it.
As if he was a molten liquid, slowly oozing from the crucible.

Moon Cats

20 July, 1969: First human lunar landing.

Some of us know that Earth Felines are from Outer Space, and that they hang out on the lunar surface at will.

Others believe so too, and have created the following:

 Thankful for those brave folks who traveled far from Earth, just to walk around a huge cat box.😹

Image my surprise when I found cats!
A sleeping cat stuffy, in the front parlor at The Crocker House Museum
This shy kitty was watching the garden lovers.
Cool mat!
Sly's humans opened their lovely yard to sightseers; I was greeted with, "Hiya, Sly's Girlfriend!"
Himself did not deign to appear; this image is from last week.
Saxifrage, according to my iPhone; the homeowner didn't know the name.
Some sort of succulent, on the edge of a delightful swimming pool.
