Man Solo

It's Twozday!

Yet, Manny has less time in the spotlight, so here he is:

Man Solo

Basking in Springtime sunshine.

Manny imitating a black hole in deep space.

Manny's favorite place; in the kitchen, near the cat food cans.

Fun Facts:

Manny likes to be carried like a baby.

He eats slowly, while his brofur CB gobbles.

Is very talkative, especially when trying to con...er, um...invite a human to open the kitchen door so he can start creating havoc, often standing on his back legs to gently pat a human in case they don't hear his plaintive cries.

Before napping, he spends a goodly amount of time kneading the blanket.

Scam Warning!

An elderly relative of mine was scammed out of over $15,000 USD when someone called her to tell her that "her favorite nephew" was in hospital for a drug overdose.  She was told to send cash, and to keep silent, since this was a 'private' matter.

They received her first payment, then called and asked for MORE!  I am told the bank repeatedly asked my relative for a reason for taking out so much cash, but she refused to answer.

When her 'favorite nephew' called her just by chance a day later, she was floored to find out that he wasn't in drug rehab!  She was immediately told to call the police, which she did.

She'll never see that money again.  All of her family would NOT have believed that she of all people would fall for such nonsense.  

PLEASE!

Pay attention to your elderly friends and relatives, especially those who live alone!

This could happen to anyone, at any time.  The scammers are VERY GOOD at convincing folks that what they are saying is the truth.

This weekend, while I was picking ripe mulberries from a neighbor's tree, this wee raccoon showed up to join me in the feast!  I hope his mama was nearby, 'cause this little guy was much too young to be on his own.  Once I'd stepped away from the tree, baby racoon raced up the trunk and hid in the leaves, and munched away.
Raccoons are considered masked lawbreakers, just like the scammers that 'got' my relative, however, I would have taken this fellow home in a heartbeat...so dang CUTE!

Nurse and Nursemaid

Yesterday, I received these two photos from loved ones:

Nurse Magoo

Magoo has devoted himself to making someone feel better, after her wisdom teeth were removed. Looks like a job well done, Magoo! Look at that Mona Lisa smile.

Magoo was adopted as a stray cat, found living outside as a kitten. He's adjusted to being a part of a busy family, but he steals kibble from the dog once in awhile.

Nursemaid Bobo

Bobo keeps her eye on the new grandbaby, making sure Grannie hasn't lost her touch! The bundle of joy was born December 10, 2016, and he's already a Cat Guy!  YAY!

Bobo was rescued from the streets of Detroit, and enjoys being an only kitty.  I personally have watched Bobo wrap the adult man of the house around her paw, so she knows what she wants...and she gets it!

How cool is it, that folks send me cool photos like these!  I love my family, my friends, and EVERY CAT THAT EXISTS!  And that's the truth...

Happiness is...

...finding a baby picture of Angel in my old book!
