Sad News

Our gentle giant, Tocchet, will be going to the bridge on Tuesday, I'm afraid. We've been together since the day he was born in my girls' closet almost 19 years ago. We love him and will miss him immensely.

Good News

We have not been around for a long time, but here is an update:Our newest addition - Fleury came to us in October. As is our custom, she is named after Pittsburgh Penguin Marc-Andre Fleury (because of her 'mask').

The Red Baron

Hello Everyone! It's been a long time. Mom works a lot now, so we don't get to blog much. This is our new brother, Baron. We weren't too sure about him at first, but we guess we love him now.
--Ariel, Lemieux & Tocchet

Rest in Peace, sweet Captain

Our beloved woofie, Captain, was helped to the bridge on Monday. He was 17 1/2 years old. We will miss him forever.

The rush is over! Hooray!

Mom's been working crazy hours for the past few months, so we have only been able to take an occaisional peek to see how our friends have been doing. We've been waiting patiently, and the last tax return will be in the mail soon, so we hope to start catching up with everyone real soon!

We are purring and praying real hard for Lilly Lu, Mue Shue, Iris and mom Laura.

Please help me find a home

This is my brother & sister-in-law's cat Greta [in the foreground and on the right]. She is a gorgeous, petite, very shy girl who lives in New Hampshire. Her mom & dad have taken jobs on a cruise ship and cannot take her with them. They are desperate to find the right home for her and they have to leave on January 6th. If anyone in thinks they would like to make Greta part of their family, please email me at cpa_mccabe@hotmail.com. Ideally, we'd like to place her with a family in the New England area, but transportation can be arranged.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Lemieux!!!

Lemieux: It's my birthday, and I hope I'm going to get spoiled a little extra.

Mom: I'm sure you will. We all love you sooooooooo much!!!

Nice Matters

Check below for today's post.

Our good friends and adoptive family, Samantha & Tigger, nominated us for this award. We are honored and humbled. The kindness, generosity and camaraderie we have experienced around the cat blogosphere is heartwarming. We don't get to blog too much right now, but we sneak a peek at our friends' sites whenever we get a chance, and we love you all so much!

We'd like to nominate Missy & KC & Emma, who are the ones responsible for us joining the blogosphere and sticking around.

A Present! How Wonderful!!

Ariel: Ooh, a present!! I think it's for me!
Lemieux: No, Ariel, it's for all of us.

Mom: Look, even Captain wants to see. And yes, that is Tocchet's tail peeking out in the back.

Ariel: I'll open it for us.

Look, I'm getting it all by myself!

Mom, Tocchet, Captain, Lemieux & Ariel: 'Thank you, Samantha, Tigger & Mom, you are the BEST!!!

Silence & Remembrance

We love you all and pray for all your families.

Tuxie Tummy Toosday

Lemieux has been practicing her Monty. As soon as Mom figures out how to do it, we'll enter the contest!

Mancat - Variation on a pose

Tocchet: Here I am in my usual pose, but not my usual spot. Mom takes us out in the yard sometimes, and this is my outside throne.

Mom: You are so regal, Tocchet. Good news, everyone. I just got a new job. That means we'll have more time to blog for the next month or so, but then we'll really have to plan our time carefully.

Wordless Whiskers

Tabby Cool and Tuxie Toesies

Ariel is keeping cool in the tropical summer heat, and Tocchet gives a wave of the paw to say thanks to Kat for his Momma being "Cat of the Day".

Mancat - Where's My Throne?

Tocchet: Mom, my throne is missing!!!

Could it be hiding in the curtain?

It is still not where it belongs.

What in the world is it doing up here?

Mom: Relax, Tocchet, I just have to clean the floor.

Tocchet: About time! It's good to be the King Kitty!!

Floofy Friday

Lemieux by weight - 8.8 lbs. Lemieux by volume - veeerrrrrrrrry floofy!

Tired Tuesday

Ariel: Mom, I'm tired, go away.

Lemieux: Yeah, Mom. Ariel found a froggie in the house REAL early this morning. We played with it a long time, and we didn't even deaded it.

Tocchet: Yeah, and then I had to get out of bed to check things out.

Mom: Well you all woke ME up before 5 am with all the noise you were making, so now it's my turn. OK, go back to sleep.

P.S. Mom saved the froggie.
