Since I stopped by. Just busy, lots going in. I watch my human grandbaby twice a week, she’s just turned a year old in December. She’s such a cutie but keeps me hopping.

Then there’s the kittens we took in last year. They have grown into really beautiful and loving cars. Been merging them into the others. Been so long since we had a troup of young ones! They get into so much! Ours are all older, and basically don’t do much of anything. These are climbing screens, jumping on the stove, counters. Clawing stuff, knocking things over. Just being kittens I guess. But they love us like one of their litter mates. They follow us like little ducks. If we go upstairs, they go upstairs. We sit downstairs they go downstairs. Even if I go down to get something to drink or eat, they are right by my feet as I go, and follow me back up to the bedroom bounding ahead of me as I go. I do love the thunder of little feet. Little characters!

I hope everyone is doing ok. I’m so sorry Viv sbout Summer, we can all relate. ((Hugs))
Pat, hope you have rehabbed well from surgery and we’re well by Christmas as we joked about in past. Sheila you and Me D are always in my thoughts. And everyone else I hope you all have a good 2019 for you and your pets.

I’ll put a few updated pics of the babies here. The Wee Willie Winkies as we call them.

Hi Val!

I hear you on how they get into everything! I have the same situation with older cats and now four youngsters. They are so much fun but some of the ways they entertain themselves isn't.

Mine like to knock things off to watch them fall and a new one this week is to pull on a towel to watch it fall to the floor. I can't wait for warmer weather and I can start walking them outside - blow a little stink off of them!! The play-time in the house is just making them fitter, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the pics. Someday I hope to learn to post some...

Seems that I remember...msg

We had a similar situation with cats. A lot of older ones. I didn’t know you had younger ones too. I didn’t mean to get these, but that’s how life worked.

You can post pics very easy here,click upload, choose pic from your phone or computer and choose nesssge board for size and then click upload. If you’re up to it, post some pics, we’d live to see them.

Thanks. We’ll see if this works.

The two bengals were planned after all my others had passed, but the two black cats were found by my mom in the extreme heat in July dumped in a cemetery.

Is that a homemade e-collar? Great idea...nm

I had bought them a toy and he decided to stick his head in the box as I was putting batteries in it. He was then walking around the house with his new necklace, so I took a pic. Silly boy!

Cute...nm

more pics please. LOVE the Bengals - I so miss my Chui

Cats are like Potato Chips - you can't have just one

I will.

Most of my pics are on my phone which is only a semi-smart phone. I desperately need to upgrade. These were from my Ipad, so I should start grabbing it more often for pics...now that I know how to post them

I remember your Chui. That was when I had my first Bengals - and they all lived until ages of 18/19ish. That's why I had to get these girls. I was missing my Sammy (the last one)so much and they have filled a hole.

Chui came from

Ladylynx - what a performance to get her - do you remember the saga when BA sent her to the wrong country and she was in transit for nearly 3 days?? She live to be 17.

Re: Chui came from

I don't think I knew that story. I do remember Ladylynx, though. Boy, that does go back, doesn't it?

Well, maybe not by Christmas . . . . .

Strength building is coming along a lot slower than I would have hoped, but it's coming. Just the other day, I realized I was hooking my bra without really thinking about it (hey, you gotta celebrate the small victories, right?

)

The kittens are adorable - I'd sure love to see another one of the calico that shows more of her color! (I'm a sucker for calicoes - always have been!).

The board is slow, but at least it's still here. As long as people keep stopping in from time to time, we should be able to keep it going.

With all the bad press Mark Zuckerberg has been getting lately, I continue to hold out hope that Facebook may not be much longer for this world! (

pic of SaraBella (calico) for you...msg

Glad you’re on the improve. I guess it takes time, and we’re not getting any younger. Hope you get much improved and are out riding this summer. 😁

Another pic of SaraBella. She’s pretty, and they are all nice, but Bubbles the more white one is by far the most friendly, loving and outgoing. Sara can be intimidating to the older ones sometimes. But everyone is adjusting real well. I put the babies back downstairs for the night cause the others can sleep in bed and don’t have to deal with them. Also they run about our room and claw the screens and scratch our new chair. We have to keep jumping up to yell at them, which they totally ignore us. So this way we can rest too.

Well, feel better soon! Here’s a pic of SaraBella]

What cuties...thanks for the update...nm

Hi Val

there are two or three of us trying to keep theis BBalive. It's so sad everyone went to FB and can't just pop over here too.

Those kitties are so gorgeous and the little Calico make my heart stop - she is so like my last beautiful little Zoe with that black mask (sigh).

I'm glad you get time to spend with your granddaughter - I never did with mine, they lived in different countries. and now they are all grown up.

come back soon

Been thinking of you. How are you doing?

I am fine.

Nothing was found in the gastroscopy, tomorrow I got for a sonar on the tummy region. I fell over and really made a mess of my knee - blood everywhere - but other than a few aches from the fall, which a couple of Panado fixes. i am OK and so is Mr D. Thanks for asking - will write soon

Oh gosh, I missed something. I was talking about the knee and your fall. I had no idea you went for a gastroscopy? You have stomach issues?

I’m glad you are doing ok after that fall. That’s hard when we get older. My sister fell on the day before thanksgiving and broke her hip/or femur. She told me it was her hip but then said the bill said femur. She had staples in her leg, so I think it was femur. She had surgery on thanksgiving. She’s doing ok thankfully. She’ll be 77 in April. Glad you didn’t hurt yourself like that.

Stay well, I’ll write soon too.

loving cars merging into others, lol......msg

You know my cell phone does weird things sometimes...or sometimes it's my clumsy fingers hitting wrong keys! But that was quite a pun regardless!
