2018 Calendars: Catio Tales

I received a surprise holiday gift in the mail: from Catio Tales!  Oh, my cup runneth over, and I couldn't be more delighted with the photos of Karin's kissas!

Love the synchronized bathing!

Awhile ago, when Pikku Punapippuri and Chuck were still on earth and not shining stars in the sky, Puna graciously gifted us with one of his purple beddies, here: Gifts From Far Away.  King Spitty at Spitty Speaks also has a royal purple beddy!

Thank you so very much, Catio Tales!  We know that you are all sisu, and we are glad to be counted as your friends!

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.

😿💔✨

Happy New Year!

Here's wishing you all a terrific 2017!  

Spent some time with Patty O'Malley today:

Guess I roughed up his fur a little bit!

In case you didn't already know, Angel Risto left for the Rainbow Bridge just as 2016 was ending it's reign.  Please make sure to visit Pikku Punapippuri soon, to let our cat friends in Finland know that we grieve with them.

Taking photos on an old iPhone in overhead, florescent light does not bode well for great results, however walking all over the building while I try to find better lighting does not bode well for my job!

There is still more room on
my credenza!

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!
