Lovey Dovey

It's PO'Monday!

March, 2015; Celestial Paddy O'Malley and I were feeling the Spring love in the air!

❤️❤️❤️

Spots

It's PO'Monday!

Coming to you from July, 2019, Celestial Paddy O'Malley shows off his spotted tummy.

He was rather trim at this time, not such a round mound as in later days.

Now you know why my Pommy tattoo shows him stretched out like this; wasn't he just magnificent?

😻😻😻

Hug

National Hug Your Cat Day is 4 June!

Celestial PO'M and I LURVED to hug; was I hugging him, or he hugging me?

Lordy, I've got dozens more photos of us.

That round mound of love was just too purrfect for snuggles!

Hug your cats today, even if they don't like it...it's a holiday!

😹😹😹

Folie à deux

Folie à deux: Madness shared by two

Thank you all for the lovely birthday comments, for enjoying the Spring sillies, and for the kind words for Angel Izzy and Eddie.

Although I've never met Izzy or Eddie, they hold very dear places in my heart, as do all of your blogged-about furry friends.

As the years tick by, it's love that sustains us, love that makes us strong, love that fills our souls.

National Love Your Pet Day

Who are we kidding?

We LURV our pets EVERY. SINGLE. DAY, all year 'round.

It's PO'Monday, and my question is:

Was Celestial Paddy my pet...or was I his?

 

Have got to believe the voting will come down heavily on the side of "Vicky was Paddy's pet"!

😹😻💕😽😹

January, 2015

It's PO'Monday!

January 2015 was a very cold, very snowy time.

Always anxious about our 'O' Cats, we'd provided them with an insulated shelter full of straw AND a heaty pad, plenty of fresh water, and lots of kibble, because wet food froze very quickly; too rapid for Sweetie and Celestial Paddy to get their fill of it.

Paddy, despite the challenges, still gave me plenty of lovin'!

The Hubby had created a wind-break out of plexiglas, for The Cat Hotel.

Always hugging my Pommy!

I didn't shovel the driveway or sidewalks; I just shoveled walking paths for The 'O' Cats.
My priorities were purrfect. *wink*

Smoochies

It's PO'Monday!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley earned every smoochie that he received!

From October, 2015.

It's PO'Monday!

August, 2016.

So many of my photos from that month are blurry; did I not know how to set the iPhone focus?

Even those few short years ago, the cameras have gotten incredibly better, so even a poor photographer (waving my hand) can capture better images.

Celestial Paddy allowed some camera time, before he demanded and received his fair share of head bunts, scritches, smoochies, and overall adoration.

PO'M: "Really?!?  Let's get this party started!"

PO'M: "Last pic, lady!  Time for kisses!"

PO'M: "Yep, that's what I'm talking about!"

💖💓💖

 

National Selfie Day

Twozday is preempted for National Selfie Day, and no one ever was better at selfies (or usies, I guess) than Celestial Paddy O'Malley.

I have hundreds of like images, because he always had to be touching me, and heck...I always had to be touching him. 

Show us your selfies and usies!

😻😻😻

Da Boyz will return later this week.

All Paws On Deck...

...or up in the air?

It's PO'Monday!

Spring was in the air on April 6, 2019, and Celestial Paddy O'Malley was waving his paws in enjoyment of the sunshine and the warmish temperatures.

Or, perhaps, he was flirting with me?

😻😸😻

A Lovefest

It's PO'Monday!

Photographic evidence of Paddy O'Malley and me having a lovefest on April 2, 2017.

 😻Miss him every single day.😿

One Must Do One's Duty

It's PO'Monday!

Paddy O'Malley liked to snuggle with me.

I obliged him.

The beginning of our journey

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

for all for your kind sentiments!

We've received so many tributes, love, and tears, traveling to us from all over the world.

An ocean of love for Paddy O'Malley!

We miss his goofiness, his adorable squeak (I still hear it, about once a day), and the feeling of his sleeping body in my lap.

We'll never know where he came from, but Paddy found love, food, shelter, and discovered his talents as my hair-stylist and acupuncturist, when he choose to make his home in our yard.

The immense joy of having him inside the house, too quickly followed by his sudden and out-of-the-blue leaving, was a shock that still feels surreal.

If you don't mind, I'll continue PO'Mondays for some little while; there are many images of him to share.

Devastation

 Paddy O'Malley was hiding in a corner this morning; he'd had some serious bouts of diarrhea overnight.

He couldn't walk straight, having a wobble to his head, and he was breathing very, very hard.

Thankfully, our veterinarian's office found a way to get him into their schedule immediately.

The radiograph above shows that his lungs were full of stuff when there should have only been air, and there is a round lump.

No infection or reaction to meds caused this.

This is cancer, and there was no way back for him.

We let him run to The Rainbow Bridge.

My Paddy O!, my boyfriend, my ❤️ cat!

The Hubby and I devastated.

Was preparing a post to show how well he and Sweetie were getting along, and how all day yesterday, while in the jury box supposed to be concentrating on the evidence, I kept thinking about how lucky I was to be able to go home to his purrs and the tiny squeak he makes when asking for some snuggles.

Will be offline for awhile, as we try to adjust to a world that doesn't have Paddy O'Malley in it anymore.

Farewell, Angel Paddy!

You taught us how to love, and we received your love in return.

💔💔💔💔💔💔

Wait...WHAT?!?

The World's Premier PO'Monday post, from inside Eastside Cats!

"What's all the fuss about?"

Dearest friends,

It happened in a blink.

The PO'M was at the back door, and it was raining.

I opened the door, knelt, and gave him head scritches.  He inched closer, then closer.

When Paddy got his front feet inside, I threw caution to the wind, and pulled him inside.

Picking him up in my arms, I walked through the house, up the stairs, and into the closed off former kitchen area of Sweetie's apartment.

Yes, Paddy O'Malley is INSIDE!

Unplanned, unexpected, and mind-boggling.

He's eating, drinking and using the litter box.

He'll stay sequestered until he sees the veterinarian.

I am chuffed!

💕😻💓😸💗😽💕
