Remembrance Day and Meeting Oscar

Our humans attended Remembrance Day Service this morning.  It was a beautiful day and many, many people were in attendance.

After this service, our mom, dad and aunti bean, went to visit a new kitten in the family.

His name is Oscar and he belongs to mombean and dadbean's son and girlfriend.  They told us that Oscar is very playful at 9 weeks and extremely cute!

We would like to teach him "the ropes" about how to properly train his humans, but he doesn't live close enough.

Tribute to our GrandBean

We kitties told our Mombean to take a blog break, she did and now she wants to help us with this tribute .  Her mother, and our cherished Grandbean  developed pneumonia and  passed away April 6th at 89 years of age. 


We feel so fortunate to have had her in our lives so long, but of course, maybe this will seem ungrateful, but we wanted more time with her.   Up until lately, she was happy, enjoying her life and loved to visit us.


Her own kitty left for Rainbow Bridge back in November, so our mombean would keep her entertained with the latest news of the happenings at our house and of course about our latest escapades.


Our Grandbean was born in Glasgow, Scotland and remembers when she was a very little 'bean, there was a large cat in her home called Cheeta.  She said the cat was her guardian and was often with her.  One day, she told us, that when she was only about two or three years old she was outside near the street and her cat distracted her and she followed him just in time, thankfully, as a large Clydesdale horse fell dead at her side in the place where she was standing only moments before.


We understand completely the need to protect and guide our humans with our inner senses, we often know things before they do.


Here are some photos of our Grandbean with Angel BonBon who left us in 2012.

Who can resist Temptations?

 Yum!

Great taste!

 

  I love scritches from Grandbean!

 

We will miss her (and BonBon, too) forever and always, and we remember to give our mombean some extra headbumps to chase away those sad feelings.

Please visit our Aunti Bean and our furcousins - they are missing Grandbean as well.





Yep, We Has Blizzard!

 

Where is Spring? 

We thinks it got lost!

 

 

The storm arrived, right on time as predicted!

Our mombean kept going out sweeping away the snow and putting down fresh birdseed.  Being springtime (according to the calendar anyway) the birds are starting to return north and they are hungry - and were not expecting snow.

 

Also we saw a chipmunk newly awakened from his winter nap.

You can see the one with the stripes on the right.  The other critter is the squirrel, who is around all winter.

 

 

Mindy

I watched all the activity from indoors, it looks nasty out there.

 

 Moe

Yes, it is best to do the supervising from inside where it is warm and comfortable.

 

Mike

I totally agree, glad I am in here and not out there.

 

 

Cookie

Goodness, these blizzards are so noisy.  Even though I am hard of hearing, that wind sure can whistle through the tiniest nook or cranny loud enough for me! 

 

Our new window feeder is very popular with the small birds like this chickadee.

It is just a little bit covered in snow!

 

 

If anyone knows where Spring got delayed, please tell it to hurry up and visit us soon!!

St. Patrick's Day

 

 

 

 

 

All of us at our house want to wish everyone a great St. Patrick's Day.

 

PS - I am getting a nice treat because I agreed to wear this hat.....love from Mike!
