Co-Ed and Kitten (2 and under) Party Rooms

Tomorrow is my 10th birthday and today we start partying! WOOHOO!! Even more special is the blessed nuptials of Miss Peach and Mickey today. For those who plan to attend both, please come prepared to teleport to the wedding together from here. In the meantime, I have Temptations, salmon, chicken, and other assorted goodies. To drink there is cat milk, water, niptinis, tuna juice, and meowgaritas. There is a bouncey thing on the balcony, the climbing tower, tons of nip toys, lots of napping spots, tables to climb on, tub hockey, ceiling walking, and the hall can be used for thundering herd of elephants. Plus, mom will give any cat tummy rubs and massages all afternoon. Hope you have fun, and if you need anything let me, the chefs, and or the bartenders know...and be sure to keep an eye on the 2 and under crowd. There is a special area just for them! Love, Beau

Preparing for Scary NIght

Here in the United States, the little sticky people have a night out called Halloween. They dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for candy. That's all we furries need...lots and lots of hyper, little sticky people. Mom said it can be lots of fun if done right, but for us furries it can be a scary time. Some of the costumes can be very scary, and strangers knocking at our doors and showing up can also be scary. Plus, there are those who want to do harm to others, especially to furries. Therefore, we need to take special care during this night. First of all, if you go outside to do your business, do it early and make sure that your human is with you. Second, after that stay inside the rest of the night and, under NO circumstances go outside. Third, do NOT go out without your human from now until a few days afterwards. Some bad people will start early and continue afterwards doing bad things. Fourth, and this is for your own comfort, find a quiet, private area to hang out in during all the craziness. And, finally, most importantly, purrray for the safety and return of our missing friends. Hopefully, with all the little sticky people, and their parents, out that night someone will spot them and help them get back home. Love, Beau

Appointment Delay

Mom has delayed my annual v-e-t appointment until the December month. She just does not have enough green papers for me to go next week. (She just hopes she has enough by then.) Mom thinks this is yet again very bad news with us. I personally think this is very GOOD news. Am I right feline friends??? heehee!! We do have other good news. Grandpa is doing very well although mom says his ear looks just as gross as before, just different. Hopefully grandpa will get his bandage off Thursday. And, for those of you who have asked, mom is doing MUCH better and overall acting happy again. Mom does have 3 prayer requests (other than praying for Tigger, Catzee, and Sassy): 1. Pray for ex-boyfriend to do well in school, because he needs really needs all the help he can get with school. 2. Pray for mom's heart to continue to heal; and, 3. Pray that mom and ex-boyfriend find their way to each other some day. We hope you have only good news! Love, Beau

Grandpa's Surgery

My grandpa is having surgery tomorrow morning on his ear. He has a base cell cars uh no ma behind an ear. As I understand it, this is least threatening of cancers, but still has to be removed to keep from becoming worse cancers. He gets to come home tomorrow and not stay overnight, but he may lose a little part of his ear. Being a curious cat, I will be interested in seeing what his ear looks like after the surgery. I will be offline the next 2 days because I will be busy giving grandpa healing purrs. Take care! Love, Beau

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!

I have such good news! Mom is better! She woke this morning with some happy coming back in her. And, after a week of rain and cold, yucky sky, the sun is out and it's going to be a much warmer day. Oh, and the chirpy birds are also back at my window! So, it's a much better day here all around. I'm looking forward to my birthday and mom said she will help me work on plans today. It's going to be a very busy day here! I hope everyone has an awesome day! Love, Beau

A Purrl in the Midst of Sadness

For once, I have a little good news, as most of you know Purrl showed some interest in me and we have been trying to connect ever since. After all, no one can ever have too many friends! Anyway, yesterday we finally connected, AND I have sent her an email! Finally! Alas, we can communicate with each other and get to know each other! There are years between us, and I know some may talk, even if we are just good friends, but as a proper Southern gentleman cat, I would ask that you be respectful and kind to Purrl and not talk.
As for mom, well yesterday was worse for her. She started sharing the breakup news with church friends, and 2 friends (both males) joked about it. That hurt mom deeply and made mom almost cry. When I found out I wanted to go bite them and shred everything they own. That is so NOT cool! Then, according to mom, during the service they sang a hymn that said, "This is my Father's world. Why should my heart be sad..." Even though it made mom think, it was very emotional for her. She's getting through this day by day, and all your purrayers, comments, calls, kindness, and support are helping. Mom is starting to get some resolve and decide that when you truly love someone you NEVER EVER give up on them, and mom is trying to get up the courage to do that. (But that doesn't mean she's putting her life on hold either.) Thanks again for everything...and PLEEEASE keep on praying for mom, Catzee, Sassy, Tigger, and the upcoming wedding of Miss Peach and Mickey. Love, Beau

Thanks

Mom would like to thank everyone who has, and is, continuing to leave her kind comments over the breakup. Your purrrrs and purrrayers are helping, and she deeply appreciates the outpouring of support, kindness, and love. Mom seemed to be some better today. She actually didn't shed water all day and night, and even went out to dinner with a female human on something called a "girl's night out." Mom smelled yummy when she got home, and her hands were a tasty nom. BTW, Grandpa said even he didn't think this relationship was permamently over. Mom said that was huge because he never said that before about anyone else. Mom hopes this is true, but doesn't know for sure. She wants everyone to purrrray for: 1) lost kitty friends, 2) Miss Peach & Mickey's upcoming nuptials, 3) boyfriend to do well in school, 4) boyfriend to work through personal issues, and 5) for him to realize he should be back with mom. Mom and I both believe that with everyone purrrraying for all this, amazing things will happen! Thanks again for caring so much! We love all of you dearly! Love, Beau

Protective Fur Needed

It's a good thing that my fur repels water fairly well. Mom keeps erupting into major water leaks. This has been going on all day, and night, since the weekend. Now, we read that Sassy's blog is being "retired" tomorrow, which is just making mom worse. (I put it in " marks because I refuse to believe this is permament.) It also doesn't help that we haven't yet heard that Tigger's home. Just when I think that mom is calming down, she leaks again...and if she happens to be leaning over me petting me I get leaked on. :::siiiigh::: If any cat knows how to turn mom's faucet off PLEEEEEASE let me know....and let us all take a moment today to purrray for Sassy, Tigger, and Little Catzee (and mom's heart). Love, Beau

The Breakup

Mom is now letting me share what has had her so sad this week. As of yesterday, boyfriend officially broke up with mom. Mom knew he was thinking about it, because of school and other things, but she was very much hoping that they could talk through things and work them out. Mom is heartbroken and is shedding lots and lots of water right now. She hopes that maybe someday in the distant future she and boyfriend will get back together...but there are no guarantees. The mixed blessing is that she and EX-boyfriend are still friends and still love each other. Mom hopes that this will help keep them connected well enough that maybe, just maybe, someday there might possibly, hopefully be a chance they might get back together. Please pray for mom's heart to heal so she won't feel so sad and shed so many tears. Thanks!! Love, Beau

Totally Bored!

Right now home is not much fun. Between mom being stressed, etc., and it being chilly, rainy, and cloudy here it's a real downer. On the up side mom gave me a new nip mousie. It is gray and seems to be made out of sisal or yarn. (I'm a male cat...I don't know much about these things.) I played with it a lot this morning, and the rest of the day I was wired...heeheehee!! After that I had the munchies and then napped a lot. I'm looking forward to my birthday parties. Mom and I are still planning them. (NOTE: all guys party on Sunday will be from 3-8 pm Central-USA time. I have my annual v-e-t appointment the next morning and so mom is making me end my party early.) Stay warm, stay dry, and I'll see you soon!! Love, Beau

Sooooooo???

Mom found out last night that some famous human male named Justin Timberlake is also from Tennessee. She seemed all excited about that. First of all, I think mom is probably the last person on earth NOT to know that. ::sigh:: =eyeroll= She really needs to get out more often!! Second, who the heck really cares anyway?! Personally, I care more about where Garfield and Heathcliff are from. I was not impressed. Humans are soooooo weird!! Love, Beau

Monday Madness

Mom is very sad and stressed right now. She's always thinking about, and praying for my lost friends. Also, grandpa is having a base uhl cell cars uh no ma removed from the back of an ear on Oct 22. (Mom saw it and said it was yucky looking.) Plus, she is stressed over the upcoming major bill for my annual vet appointment on Nov 2. And, she got some upsetting news over the weekend she's not sharing. She's having a very rough and tough time right now so please keep her in your purrrrayers. On a positive note, she saw boyfriend Saturday and he's doing well. All defib restrictions will be removed by Wednesday. Keep him also in your purrayers because he's extremely stressed as he had a physics test today and has mid term tests next week. This is very important. On October 31, I am having a birthday and everyone is invited. I will be 10!! On November 1, starting at 3 pm (Central, USA) I am having a guy's only party (and guys it will be sooooo cool...that's all I'm saying for now...heehee). Please put these on your calendar!!

Stormy

Yesterday it stormed...and rained...and got very, VERY dark. Right before then I was outside, on my leash, enjoying the cool, fresh, breezy air. It felt nice! And, I was enjoying it very much. Mom came out, after talking to grandpa on the talking machine, and looked at the sky. (That's because grandpa said it was really dark nearby.) When mom looked up at the sky in grandpa's direction, she said something I can't repeat and told me to get "inside NOW." I knew by the tone of her voice it was a safety issue so I didn't argue and went inside with her. Fortunately, we didn't get the bright flashes and loud cracks and booms, but it rained...and rained...and RAINED. I watched it at first from my ham-mick, then I said some prayers for my lost friends and their safety and homecoming, then I took a nice long nap. Love, Beau

Reach Out and Hug Someone

First Catzee goes missing (for a while now), then Sam and Tig, and now I hear Sassy has been gone since May. I am soooooooooooooooo depressed. I just want to curl up into a ball and throw my gizzy quilts over my head. So far, this has NOT been a good year. At least the up side is that Samantha is now home, which IS something to celebrate...and I have good vibes that Tigger will also be home soon. So, for today, while continuing to pray for Catzee, Tigger, and Sassy, let's reach out and hug someone and celebrate the positives. Life is waaaaay too short! Love, Beau

Stinky Oils

Thanks to boyfriend mom has put stinky oil things plugged into our walls. Boyfriend's place has some that supposedly smell like nature smells, which mom says doesn't really smell like nature but smells nice. Mom said the brand he uses doesn't bother her allergeez too much so she decided to try some in our place. But, did mom get the more "manly" scent like his?? NOOOO. She got the more girly scents of lavender and vanilla. Great...what's a guy to do???? Can someone pleeeeeease help me make my place more manly....pleeeeease. Mom says she's in charge and as long as SHE is paying the bills she gets to make the final decision. HELP ME. Love, Beau

Progress

Mom is very proud of me. Last night I let next door neighbor's little sticky people relatives pet me, without trying to bite their hand and arm off, without hissing, poufing, whining, and going totally crazy. I wasn't very happy about it and strained my neck back...but I tolerated it. Mom was so impressed that she gave me lots and lots of praise, cuddles, love, and told me how proud of me she was. She said that was good progress, especially for me! But, make no mistake, I tolerated it because they were little sticky people...and one should be kind to them. If they had been big humans it might have been different....heehee!!

Praying for Sam, Tig, and Catzee

I'm having trouble of thinking of anything else other than my lost friends Samantha, Tigger, and Little Catzee. I am sooooo upset right now! Even mom thought I was more irritable and not myself this morning. So, today I am praying and purrrrring for ALL 3 of them, and hoping that they will all be home right away. I'm also going to try having the Chatzy Purrrr room open later today for anyone who wants to come and purrrrr for them. Sam, Tig, Catzee....PLEASE come home...we all miss you and need you back with us.... Love, Beau

Snuggle Day

Today it's cold and rainy. I don't like it when it's like this because it's so dreary. I also can't go out on my leash. (I could but mom won't let me.) I did get to go out yesterday, even though it was chilly, but mom made me wear my scarf. =rolls eyes= The one thing I do really like about days like this is mom doesn't go out either. That means it's a perfect day to curl up on the human bed and snuggle. Mom wishes she could snuggle in front of a fireplace with boyfriend, but I reminded her I'm the much better choice! Today is a perfect day for snuggling and I wish for everyone - furry, human, or otherwise - to find a snuggle partner and take some time for snuggling!! Love, Beau

Reflections On Getting Older

In a month (from 2 days ago) I will be 10 years old. Yep, it's hard for me to believe too!! Time has gone by so fast and I feel so blessed. I have soooo many good friends, and I was blessed to have 2 wonderful women in my life...both Mia and Ghost. It's also hard for me to believe I've almost been with mom for over 9 1/2 years. I even went through a major health scare last year and came through it fine. Some things I've learned have been to have faith and never lose hope or give up, go with gut feelings, always take time for naps, always take time for your friends, play hard, always live life to it's fullest, take care of your friends and help them when they need it, always find something to be happy about, take care of yourself and don't do stupid stuff, and follow God first. I plan on living a long life and I hope I find love again. My final thought is this: Life is short, so eat your treats first!! heehee!! Love, Beau

PS. Purl and Summer, if you see this, email me!!

Hooray for Chihuahua Woofie

I heard about a special chihuahua woofie on the picture box. The woofie was riding on a boat thing with its humans. The boat crashed and, when the humans couldn't find the woofie, they thought he had died in the crash. Welllll, the woofie, especially being small, managed to find an air pocket and was found 24 hours later by people inspecting the damage. The woofie is perfectly fine!! WOOHOO! This woofie is not only smart, but also resourceful. In addition, just think of the willpower, strength, courage, fortitude, and faith for this woofie to hang in there until found. So, I bow and honor you courageous, brave woofie. I'm glad you're home with your humans and doing fine!! Love, Beau

Talking Funny

I think mom has a cold head. She is talking funny, sleeping a lot, and really gross stuff coming out of her body. =looks around to make sure mom isn't listening, then whispers= Plus, she is also really grumpy. The good new is she has stayed home all week which means, when she is awake, it's more mommy and me time. The down side is that I have to play nurse maid, and purr on mom to help her heal, and also watch over and guard her while she's sleeping. I just hope I don't get sick. First, grandpa and momma S. were sick, now mom. Mom thinks she got it from grandpa and momma S., being around sick people in a hospital when boyfriend had surgery, being run down, and getting rained hard on then cold. At least mom is some better now, but she still sounds funny! Love, Beau
