Feline Friday and Friendly Fill-ins! February 25, 2022

One of my favorite cats was Larry. He was a neighborhood kitten that wandered around and my son Paul wanted to adopt him as the older neighbor didn't take care of his cats. We were going on vacation and I instructed my 18 year old to " NOT let the kitten in the house" while we were gone. 
Well... we got home and the kitten was lounging on our bed, making himself at home, noshing on yummy food and having a lovely time. Of course I took Larry ( yep he had been named!) to the vet and got all his vaccines etc. Larry was a fun cat, very loving and lived to be 20 years old! One of these days I will unpack all our photo albums and find some fun photos of all our cats to share! Have a lovely day....everyday!
Thanks Sandee!

  1. We had our Arthur a completely white cat he also lived for 20 years and I could write a whole book about the adventures he had ! He knew all neighbor beds, helped everyboddy digging holes in the garden etc he was unique. Sadly he fell asleep last year and never woke up. At least he died peacefully. But still we miss him so much !

  8. Larry is quite fitting for that handsome guy and what a long life 20!! Ginger's have their very own unique purrsonalities. My grandcat Frisco is a big (16 lb) Ginger. His sister Mia, the Tortie, is an 8 lb stick of dyNOmite.

  9. You had to know you'd come back to a cat in the house, it just can't work any other way.

    Dental visits are high on the "meh" meter, not something most of us look forward to.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
