Tongue Tuesday and China Cat's Birthday

Yippee Ya-Hooey! It's China Cat's Birthday today!
She is 14 years old and
I have known her my whole entire life! Six whole years!
~~~~~
Billy the Birthday Bear sang Happy Birthday to her this morning! I'm licking my lips because I know she is getting some special treats tonight. She said she would share with me!
I can hardly wait!!!

Farewell Dear Friends

We lost two dear friends from the Cat Blogosphere.
It was with great sadness I found out today that both
Fat Eric and Luxor had each gone off to the Rainbow Bridge.
~~~~~
Our thoughts and prayers and purrs
are with both of their families.

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You’ve left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you’re always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

In the Window with Tabby

I'm glad that my Food Lady put this nice cushioned stool in front of the window for me. Whenever she leaves the house I like to sit here and survey my kingdom while waiting for my Food Lady to return. You can see that I have a little tabby cat named Tabby that sits here with me. My Food Lady dressed up Tabby in a patriotic outfit for the summer because of Memorial Day, 4th of July Independence Day and Labor Day. Tabby also has a witch costume for Halloween, a Santa costume for Christmas and a bunny costume for Easter.Oh, look, there is my Food Lady now!
I had better run over to the door to see her!
I am so happy that she is back home again!
Do you think that she'll give me some treats???
I was such a good kitty guard while she was gone!!!
