New Week = Better Week?

After everything that happened last week, dadbean finally found out what is ailing him - shingles. I hope we don't ever get something like that because he doesn't look very good. Mombean says we prolly won't get these because we haven't had chicken pox....human illnesses are very strange. We cats get lots of rest, eat well and hardly ever worry...it's a good life.

Mike: this is a good way to keep your nose warm.


Mindy: My turn, Mike, to stretch out on the cat bed. Stretching and flexing my paws keeps up my muscle tone.



Cookie: actually my spot is THE perfect spot, I can nap, be near the kitchen and watch the back door in case I get the chance to go out on the deck.



Moe: take away that flashy box, no pictures please....see the airplane ears?



Bono: I am helping mombean with the blogging today, aren't I nice?

Wishful Wednesday

Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday, hope all is well while we've been away for a bit. Our beans were away a lot because things here have been happening all at once.

First they went to a beautiful late summer wedding. We have a picture of the lovely dining room all ready for guests. Aren't the colors appropriate for this time of year? Our beans said there was dancing later, they enjoyed themselves.






Perhaps Mickey and Miss Peach will feel inspired by this setting as they plan their own wedding!



Next sonbean went into hospital two days later to have scheduled jaw surgery. This went very well and he only spent one night in hospital because he promised to follow all the doctor's orders when he got home. He can't talk right now because his jaw is wired shut, so we give him extra smoochies.

Mindy: Here I am with mom, staying close because it was her birthday yesterday.





Now the not so good part. Granbean went into hospital through emergency, at a different hospital at the same time sonbean was also in hospital. Our beans didn't come home they stayed in the city all night to be close to both fambly members. Sadly granbean passed on - very peacefully - we are thankful for that.

The next few days the beans were busy with funeral arrangements, so they weren't around much. However, they took good care of us, just couldn't give us the usual amount of scritches and treats. We did what we cats do. We waited and snoozed and gave our beans some extra head bumps and rubs when there was a quiet moment or two.

Moe: Here is where I waited.


Bono: Here is the window where I watched for their return


Cookie: I am so glad they are back


Mike: I speak for all of us, including our beans when I say thank you for dropping by during these past few days and thinking of us and for leaving us your kind words.




A big "Thank You" from all of us.

PS - our grandbean lived a very full and active life. Back in January she visited Egypt and rode a camel at 88 yrs! She was amazing.

Gone a few Days

Mindy says:


We will be gone a few days because our beans are leaving to go away to a family wedding. No it's not Mickey's wedding, it's a bean wedding, no fun for us.

I like the view from this window. Here is something I like to watch.



It moved into our yard recently.

No! to a Day Without Cats on the Internet

Cookie: look where I am today - outside on the deck AND on the internet.


We want to join our friend Max and protest the move to have a "Day Without Cats on the Internet". We will not be silenced or unseen.

Tummy 'n Toes Tuesday

Mindy

Sunshine on my tummy.

Mike with Bono

Mike...look - my toes.

Nice scritches, but a little more to the right


Perfect!


PS we are glad that our furcousin Mickey has his computer fixed. We watched dadbean work on it, but we didn't offer ANY help OR advice.

That's way out of our league.

"Oops I Ate It Award"

Thanks to our friends at The Kitty Krew we have been given the

"Oops I Ate It Award".





The rules for this award are:

"When accepting this award you must blog about the food you have stolen when your humans weren't watching. If you have never stolen any food, you must be a very good pup or kitty. You can accept this yummy tray of cookies as your reward!!! Next add the logo of this award to your blog (optional), then nominate at least 5 other furry blogs and let them know by leaving them a message on their blogs."



Well how did they know? We adore stealing food, especially the bean's foods. We sometimes break into our own container of crunchy food because Moe is an expert at pushing the container off of the counter at which point the cover usually comes off. Then we all dig in.

Mike is our resident scavenger. He once ate a frozen mushroom off the floor but that is not stolen food of course. However, packages of sliced bread must be kept in the cupboard and never left on the counter because he will rip these open and have a snack.

Moe is the one that prys open the upper cupboard searching for tasty bags of Temptations. He finds them too, and knocks them onto the floor. Yay.

We already blogged a few days ago about the banana bread that "some one of us" nibbled on.

Any of us will steal from an open bag of potato chips but,we guess by now, you know who the main culprits are!

We are passing on this award to:

Reese
The Island Cats
Jasmim
Derby
Roxy and Lucky
SeaThreePeeO


We don't have any caught "in the act" food stealing photos, ha, ha. However here are our Easy Sunday Photos.
