Revontulet

Revontulet: Finnish for "fire fox, or Aurora Borealis

Äiti from Catio Tales believes: "If you watch you can see the tailios of those we have loved and miss so much playing in the lights."

Friday, 10 May, we witnessed our Rainbow Bridge tailios; it was spectacular!!!

Am sure this was my first Northern Lights observation, and feel extra delighted because we'd enjoyed the total solar eclipse last month.

A very special experience.

Farewell Mirsku

Images used with permission

Our dear friend Mirsku had to run off to The Rainbow Bridge, and we have the sads.

Visit Catio Tales Cat Blog to voice your sorrow.

Angel Mirsku was a character; so round and full of sisu!

We hope to see Angel Mirsku in the revontulet.

😿🌈😿

Farewell, King Punapippuri

Please visit Pikku Punapippuri.

One more star in the heavens.

We were gifted with this photo in September, 2016

Our blog post, when Punapippuri sent us his royal purple bed:

Punapippuri's Own Beddy!

Karin, we celebrate Angel Punapippuri's life with you,

as we shed a few tears too.

😿💔✨

Looky!

Chucky was in Puna's beddy when I got home from work!

"This will do nicely, human!"

Yep, Chucky was enjoying his new Finland beddy!  Doesn't his black furrs look wonderful against the royal purple?

AND...I had a bit of success with coaxing Patty O'Malley up to the balcony this weekend.  However, he ran up, looked around and went back down in a flash!  I was on a chair at the far end, reading my book, so I simply sat there for a long time, hoping he would come back again.  Next thing I know, I look up and it's Sweetie instead!  She was happy to get some kibble, happy to explode through the open door, and then ate some more kibble before descending again.  The Stairway to Heaven just may be working!!!

Do you see Patty's head coming up?

Yep, Patty joined me on the balcony!

 

And Sweetie surprised me by coming up!

She investigated the inside too...

"Your kibble offering pleases me, human!"

Gifts from Far Away

A package arrived from Finland!

Angel inspected it...

...then she spent a long time sniffing...

...and Chuck did a lot of sniffing too!

And who is this gorgeous fella?

That's Punapippuri!  I so admired Spitty's royal purple beddy (check it out here), that Karin shipped her original version all the way to Michigan for Chuck and Angel's enjoyment!  There were other toys in the box, as well as this handsome photo and a note.  How generous is that!?!

So far, no cat has ventured inside the purple beddy, but they've sniffed and sniffed and sniffed it.  Judging by past behavior, The Hubby and I will be searching the house for a missing cat in about a month, only to find him or her tucked up inside the new bed.  They like to keep us humans guessing, don't they?

Thank you, thank you!  I love it; the color is gorgeous, and I know the cats will come around.  And now I shop for a new cat photo frame, to add Punapipuri to my collection.  Look at those toehawks!
