Paws, Tailio, Ears

It's Caturday!

Celestial Angel left our earthly plane six years ago on January 24, 2020.

Here's an artified image of herself, with all feets, tailio, and ears when she was full of life...and snoozes.

Celestial Twinsies

 It's Twozday!

Since, however, yesterday's post was for Da Boyz' Gotchaversary, please enjoy a short slideshow of our first set of twins, Angel and Chuck.

They were in a litter of four: two all-black, and two cow-colored, just like their mother.

Both gave great hugs, and we send them warm fuzzies at The Rainbow Bridge.

Angel: 7/18/04-1/24/20

Black and white fur, pink ears, paw pads and nose.

Chuck: 7/18/04-11/20/17

Black, with white splash at throat, and low on his tummy.

Coned

It's Caturday!

Came across this November 2004 pic of Celestial Angel, just after her spay surgery, and she was wearing a cone.

She looked so forlorn, but when I removed the cone, she'd lick at her stitches, thus the cone was put back in place.

That was 21 years ago, and she flew to the Rainbow Bridge almost five years ago when she was 15-1/2 years old, yet she'll always be my baby girl.

I used Prisma's Sea Horse filter, because of the pink blush.

Mother Nature really turns on her charms in autumn, and we are so lucky to have shared both the inside and outside of Eastside Cats with our beloved felines.

Today in 2020

Five years ago today, our Angel earned her travel documents to Heaven, and crossed The Rainbow Bridge.

Celestial Angel was one of our two 'starter' cats; we adopted her and Chuck at just 6 weeks old, which was much too young, and they were both covered in fleas and had worms, and hadn't been neutered.

After Chuck died, and we adopted Manny and Chili Bruce out of the blue, The Hubby and I felt that Angel could use time away from those two hooligans.

Voila, Angel's Apartment!

Celestial Angel then flew away, and Sweetie took ownership.

Currently, Henry is learning that inside is a good place to be.

We miss you, Darling Angel

❤️

Cat TV

Early November, 2008.

Celestial Angel and Chuck enjoyed lots of Cat TV, from every window possible at Eastside Cats.

Chucky enjoying the wide window ledge.

Angel has her eye on something outside!

A rare image of Angel and Chuck sitting together, watching the leaves fall.

 Our first cats, and oh, we had no clue, and learned the hard way often.

An example:

Chucky started to scoot his rear-end on the floor.

I went up to the library to read every cat-owner book on the shelf, and decided that he had impacted anal glands.

At the veterinarian's office, I proudly offered my diagnosis.

The doc looked at me, and said, "He too fat; he cannot lick his butt."

Oh the embarrassment!!!

😳

We switched from dry food to canned, and both cats lost weight gradually, and all scooting stopped. 

Our starter cats whom we loved dearly, the poor dears.

20 Year Gotcha

August 29, 2004

The date that changed our world.

Angel and Chuck were home.

How can two decades have gone by?

Did they know they were our starter kitties?

Everything we learned about cats, we learned from Angel and Chuck.

Thank you, my babies!

❤️😻❤️

Hugs!

4 June is Hug Your Cat Day!

Wait a minute...it's Hug YOUR Cat Day, not Hugging Cats Day, Boyz!

From 2006; The Hubby hugging Celestial Angel 

From last weekend; it's hard to take an usie when a big lunk of a kitty is asleep in one's lap!

My arms are too short.

AND, you'll notice, we are in the contentious chair that is MINE, but DA BOYZ often take over for their own nefarious purposes.

 😹😽😻

Four Years

Celestial Angel left us on 24 January, 2020.

A few pics from her early years with us; she was a beauty!

With plenty of character. 

😿💕😿

Miss her.

Gotchaversary

Happy 6th Gotchaversary, Manny and Chili Bruce!

❤️❤️

Chili Bruce, being weird.

Manny, being weird.

Da Boyz, being adorable.

Their adoption story:

We'd lost Chuck on 20 November, 2017.

His twin sister, Angel, seemed happy to be an only cat, yet The Hubby and I knew we'd adopt another cat someday, in a while.

While buying cat supplies on my lunch break just a few weeks later, two of the most adorable housepanthers were playing in the adoption enclosure at my favorite pet store.

The store employee invited me to join them, then I called The Hubby.

He gave a thumbs up, I signed the papers, and handed over my credit card.

Two housepanthers for the price of one.

And, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, for all of us.

Manny and Chili Bruce are such a delight, even when being weird, curious, obnoxious, or being little purry angels!

Love you both so very much, and wishing you both a very Happy Gotchversary...and many more!

❤️❤️

Nestled

It's Twozday!

Manny and Chili Bruce spend time nestled together in the big beddy, purchased for Celestial Chuck and Angel many years ago.

It's not easy to find beds for two, unless you peruse the doggo section of the shops!

Shhhhh...don't tell them!

😹😹😹

Pfft...

3 August is National Watermelon Day!

Pfft is the sound of someone spitting out seeds.

Sadly, The Eastside Cats are currently sans watermelon, however some cute pics were taken in August 2019 for your entertainment:

Da Boyz are curious.

Celestial Angel appears flummoxed.
Nice frootbat ears, however.

Someone here LURVs watermelon, almost as much as she...er, um...'they' enjoy popcorn, and raw almond butter.

Someone else has promised that he...er, um...'they' would purchase a luscious one for their mutual enjoyment, yet no one has seen a gorgeous green orb ready for quick dismemberment YET!

Am betting everyone else on this planet will have watermelon today...except us...

*SOB*

...sniffle...

Well, let's be pleased/gratified/fulfilled for this wonderful berry!🍉

Blep!👅

Having felines in our lives is enriching.

Cats soothe the human soul with:

Purrs

Sleeping so peaceably that we just 'AWW!'

Meows of love

Headbunts!

And then there is...
