Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer and Belated to Sandi
HAPPY PURRDAY KITTEN WHISPERER!!!!
Happy Purrday, Kitten Whisperer!
Happy Purrday, KittenWhisperer!
Verrry Happy Purrrday to you, KittenWhisperer!
And Sandi, Purrrs to you too!
Ditto !
Happy Birthday!
Wow, how absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!
Gotta love the orange whisker freckles!
Happy Purrday, Kitten Whisperer. I hope you have as good as purrday as I have been. I’m having a season. sushi with a friend tonight and plans with one of my brothers in the near future.
Happy Purrday to you!!
Happy birthday, Kittenwhisperer – hope you have a great day! Where is the cake?
Thanks for the birthday greetings! I brought a large urn of strong Columbian coffee made from freshly ground coffee beans and a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and creamcheese frosting. Party!
LOVE creamcheese frosting!!!
Wow! I love chocolate/raspberry anything! I’ve got the candles!
I hope you brought a lot of candles. This is my 55th birthday. I can now order from the Seniors menu at many restaurants. 😉
I’ve never seen a senior’s menu, only kids’. But you can get 10% off at T.J. Maxx on Tuesdays and pay less to go to the movies!
Woo hoo! Life is good!
Woohoo! It Is Parteee Time!
You can join AARP and will be eligible for discounts on hotels, rental cars, insurance, etc. Now just kick up your heels. Congrats on Bday
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer!! Would suggest not lighting ALL those candles……….As the neighbors may call the fire department, to report a bon fire in your house !! 🙂
😆
Also, K.W……….Many benefits to becoming “Senior”. Your groceries will be taken to your car and loaded,(even if it’s 2 bags), no more hassle with lawn and garden, or pool supplies. You will be waited on hand and foot!! Plus,(in our area), many of the stores offer an extra 15% off on purchases, several times a month. We don’t like being “golden”………but it’s not all that bad!! 😆
KittenWhisperer, a most happy birthday to you! Get all the seniors you can! Happy 55th! I am only 53, but have joined AARP! Not as bad as it sounds! Get’s discounts and a magazine that lets you know what’s going on. A good thing to know. Enjoy your day! Hope it was wonderful! Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Thanks, Lynn. I’ve been a card-carrying member of AARP for 11 years. I rode in on the coat tails of my (much older–OK 6 years older) husband when he turned 50). 🙂
You can also get free AARP e-mails sent to you. I’ve read a few of them, they are interesting.
KW, have been riding the coat tails of my roomate who is 61 this year since I turned 50! I hear you and You go girl! I have learned so much from the magazines and letters we get every 2 months. We need to stay informed of what may happen with insurance and social security, cause it doesn’t look too good in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Not fair, in UK we don’t get any discounts/benefits etc. until we are officially pensioners (delightful abbreviation OAP old age pensioner) ie on reaching 65. Pensionable age has been standardised for men and women, previously it was 60 for women and 65 for men.
The discounts vary from business to business. Some don’t offer them to anyone. Others offer them to people over 60 or over 65. It’s fairly hit and miss but fun when you find one you qualilfy for. I love the abbreviation for pensioners in the UK.
I don’t qualify for social security and I think the current age you can begin drawing it (correct me if I’m wrong TDKers) is 62).
HAPPY BELATED PURRDAY SANDI!!!!!!!!!
Yes, a very happy belated birthday to you, Sandi as well. Seems like you enjoyed your day! Many more happy and healthy birthdays to come. Hugs and Purrs
Kisses on the nose to than beautiful little kitten. I have to pick him up and cuddle him. Don’t worry I’m bringing him to the sharing circle.
What a cute little kitten, love the coloring. Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer!!
I am in love with this little fella! What a great way to start what’s going to be a tough work week. Thanks Kittenmaster and thanks to Ryder’s guardians for sending in his handsome picture. (love the “Y” too!)
Have a great day, TDKr’s!!
hey thanks for your reply… i’m glad Ryder made your day. He’s getting bigger and bigger everyday and quite a riot too. 😉
Mainly vanilla, with a little bit of orange. What a cutie! And a boyfriend who rescues kittens? Hang on to that one!
By the way, birthdays in our family seem to go on for a week – not a bad tradition as far as I am concerned.
Birthday’s in our family are celebrated to a month. In fact we refer to them as our “BirthMonth”. it’s a lot of fun and a tradition I strongly suggest.
I really like this idea. 🙂
Sorry! meant to type “for a month”
This would not work in my family as my oldest son is 6/30, my youngest son is 7/3 my great nephew ( lives nextdoor) is 7/8 and then i’m on 7/9. By the time my Birthday is here everyone is partied out! It’s like oh happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer. Hope it is joyful, and that all your wishes come true.
Belated Birthday wishes to Sandi – glad that you are having a whole season of celebration.
Ryder is adorable, just love his coloring and that so sweet face. Hope he gives you many years of smiles.
EZ Ryder indeed! Wonder if he also has EZ Purr installed?
Ryder = eZ feline management system?
Happy B-Day Kitten Whisperer and Sandi! Hope you both have a wonderfully BEAUTIMAS day!!
What a gorgeous baby this morning. I want one………
Hope everyone is well! Brought Mimosas and made french toast this moring, extra crispy bacon for HM and a HUGE pot of coffee for Great Dane!! Dig in!
And a big birthday cake for Kitten Whisperer and Sandi
Ahhh, LeeAnne, you’re a lifesaver! I don’t know what happened – I have a ton of work! Arrrrgh!
Oh my. TOO SWEET!!!!! THUD!
Pierce is reserved, Johnny will deliver medicinal cuddles and Med Choc®.
Hey, Miu, what are you doing with my boyfriend, Pierce? Hrrrmf, I guess I’ll console myself with Matthew McCaunaghay (I’m quite sure I did not spell that correctly!).
Ryder is just lovely, and I agree keep the boyfriend who rescues kittens……
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer, and belated Birthday wishes to Sandi…..if I missed anyone, hope that you had a good birthday weekend….its been one of those weeks….but its my Friday!!!
Everyone have a good one….;D
OMG! I’m in LOVE! (feeds kitten slice of smoked salmon) I have a mere simple breakfast today, just in case anyone has children going back to school. There’s steel-cut oatmeal with your choice of dried fruit, honey, brown sugar, butter, and/or cinnamon, scrambled eggs with cheese, bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, hash browns, grits, tea, and White Russians. Who wants eats?
Did I hear White Russians!!! MMMMMMMMM I’ll take one of those and an mimosa too!!!
Virtual Drinking meaning I can drive in reality!!
I’m with you Tiger’s Mama, a White Russian and a Mimosa!! My kids went back to school 10 days ago, but we started today at CNM (Central New Mexico Community College). It’s great to have the students back, I actually missed them! But I’m extremely busy.
I have an unusual item to share for today’s breakfast. It is sure to please those who love bacon (HM) and chocolate. It is a Mo’s Bacon Bar made with fine chocolate and………….bacon! My daughter (whose nickname happens to be Mo) gave me a taste of this yesterday. It’s suprisingly good. Here is a description from the maker’s website: Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate combination.
http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars
Hmmmm, now that’s a little bizarre, Kitten Whisperer – I think I may stick with a bucket of coffee and the birthday cake!
Hmmm… There must be a lot of hardcore baconists out there… But I HAVE to taste it…
I agree–this is for the truly hardcore baconist. I thought immediately of Huddy’s Mama. 🙂 It is definitely worth trying at least once.
Where is HM?
Denny’s has a seniors menu
Where’s Huddy’s Mama-she’ll go gaga over that!
YA-HOOO, Huddy’s Mama – are you out there????
Good morning everyone!
Happy Purrsday to all celebrators. 🙂
May I add to this mornings feast? I made some blueberry/corn muffins this morning, (they’re still warm) and I steeped some lovely tea to go with them. Enjoy! 😉
Blueberry corn? Interesting combination–I’ll take one please. Do you have a recipe for those?
I make those… I use Jiffy cornbread mix and just add frozen blueberries.
Thanks–I’ll try them!
What a cute kitty !!! Right now, I’m bellying up to the virtual food bar, I need to gorge, it’s been a very busy time packing, coming home from vacation in Maine (which is gorgeous and a great time with friends), being supportive of my father’s cancer surgery. The second exploratory is in 3 days. If they can’t get the cancer out this way, they will have to open him up from the outside snd replumb him from the bladder to the right kidney. All your vibes and hugs are appreciated big time – just keep the caffeine and chocolate coming until Sunday September 2nd is all I ask. Thank you !!!
Lots of possitive thoughts to you and your Dad that all works out well. Hugs to you both.
Hugs, good thoughts, prayers, purrs, headbonks, and sandpaper kisses from us!!
Cheri, I’m glad you had a great time on vacation. I could use some time off, myself!
Good luck with all the packing and I wish your dad all the best.
Hugs and good thoughts headed your way!
Good luck with your move, Cheri. I hope your vacation brought your some much-needed rest. Purrs and prayers for you and your father that this next surgery will do the trick.
{{{HUGS}}}
I send healing energy and zest for your Daddy & endurance and happiness to you!
Ditto what all the above said, Cheri — you’ve got a lot on your plate, but you sound like a trooper who can handle all that and then some. We’ll be praying for you and your dad!
Prayers and hugs coming to you and your family, Cheri, I know this is a difficult time for you. Know that I am thinking of you. Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer! Many Blessings to you.
Oh…and Ryder, you is one handsome li’l furry dude!
Good Morning TDKer’s, I hope all had a great weekend!
Happy Purrday to Kitten Whisperer and Sandi, may you both have blessed days!
What a little angel our Ryder is, love his markings. Many hugs for Ryder!
Very cute. Well, it’s off to pick up the rental truck and car hauler for me.
Have a good one!!
Safe travels to you and wife-woman both. Great to hear from you!
Hugs!
do remember that friends will help you move, really good friends will help you move a body (grin)…
and that 3 move equals one house fire…
good Luck! Have a great move.
Safe move wishes to you both! Good luck!
Safe travels Instinct & Intuition and the fur babies.
Welcome to California. Home of fruits and nuts (strawberries and almonds of course).
Did you two find a place to live, yet?
Yes, we actually have an apartment that has a washer and dryer, built in microwave and a fitness center (YES!)
🙂
Sounds perfect! This must be the one with the 30 minute commute? What a relief to have a place to lay your head when you get to SF. *clapping hands and giving Instinct and Intuition high fives*
Yay! Congratulations!!!!
Wishing you a safe trip and no problems, you already had them! Safe journey, my friends, get in touch when you can. God speed. My best to the wifewoman. Hugs and Purrs Lynn
Be safe!
Let’s be careful out here!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this stressful time, Cheri.
What a precious baby. Have not yet seen a kitten I didn’t fall in love with.
Breakfast sound wonderful, thanks to all. have a wonderful day TDKer’s and stay safe.
vanilla with a tiny swirl of orange sherbert my favorite……….. on cuteoverload this am go look at the kittens playing with the coke box…..lol there is one that is just a darling little dickens …..Josh comes home on Wed, for his last leave before iraq………..
I hope you have a wonderful visit with Josh. Give him a hug from me and a huge “Thank you!” for his service to this country.
sure will !! thanks and headbutts 🙂
Ditto, hugs and purrs
What a beautiful fuzzball. I always look, but with all the comments, don’t post so often anymore. But this one is really cute. Love to look at white kitties!
WOW, just look at the size of that Paw, he’s gonna be a big boy! (with his orange feather boa 😆 )
What beautiful markings!! Cuddle fuzz!
Beautiful and exceptional markings. 🙂
He is 100 % innocent and 110 % impish. Come on, Ryder, show us your moves! 😉
VERY CUTE . lol
And that very pink nose is adorable!
Love Ryders caramel splochies. Absolutely adorable.
Oooh, what a cutie! I’m glad he took a second away from playing with that yellow fuzzy thing, to pose for this nice photograph. 🙂
Morning all! I love that kitten–great little creamsicle! Go Gimpy! Redford & Mitzi vote every day for him! For those who asked, went to doc and she upped my pain meds and changed the dose-hope it will work better now. It isn’t my back as much as legs-it’s the effects of post-polio syndrome. Result of going from being completely “recovered” to back in a wheelchair and on a ventilator–long story. But new meds should help.
Safe travel Instinct & Intuition!
And I’ll take one of those mimosas, please…!
I voted for Gimpy as well – I go get my daily dose of the Gimpster on Catster or Arcamax since there is STILL no Gimpy on TDK *sigh* Go Gimpy!
And of course I voted for the Bob as well!
Tiger voted for Bob and Gimpy too!!!
Go Gimpy!!
Go Bob!!
Thanks, Tiger! Are you ready for your “vacation” or has your mama not told you about that yet?
Oh no, he knows all about it and IS NOT HAPPY. You see, Bailey (the dog that thinks he’s a mama cat) is going to be on the other side of the kennel and they can only play together sometimes. He says he will miss Bailey MAWWWWWWWW!!
Awww, I think little Tiger will have a fine time – it’ll be like kitty sleepaway camp!
So who told Tiger – his Mama or his buddy Bailey?
Neither, it was his furless Grandma!!!
Bad Grandma!
Actually, poor TigerButt heard Grandma telling Bailey that he was going away and Tiger and Muffin were going too. Poor Tiger!
Awwww, hugs and cuddles to little Tiger!
Ugh, I didn’t know it was post-polio. My mom has that and it is no fun at all. Hoping that the new dosages work for you.
I’m glad the doc upped your pain meds. I hope you see some improvement soon! {{{gentle hugs}}}
(Big, gental, hugs)
I hope the new meds will help you. Polio sucks! {hugs}
Purrs and prayers for you, Rainingwolf.
–Rainingwolf–
Hope you feel better soon w/your meds changed 🙂
I am so sorry to hear of your medical problems, Rainingwolf. Know that you are in my prayers tonight and that you have some relief with your med adjustment. Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
This is good news about the kitten that was spray painted in the face.
http://www.10news.com/news/13971768/detail.html?rss=sand&psp=news
We need to toughen up the laws–too many morons are roaming the streets.
We are surrounded….. I say load up the FREAK bus and drop em’ off far, far away….like mars maybe!!
Nah, that wouldn’t be fair to the Martians!
*deep sigh* {Big hugs to the kitty}
Thank God, a happy ending – or at least, a beginning of a happy ending, just needs a good home now…fingers crossed…
I hadn’t heard that story – what the heck is wrong with people?
Some people out there aren’t learning sufficient empathy as children, I suspect. Worse, some of them are learning to take pleasure in the pain of others.
For the former, I suspect a certain amount of rehabilitation/remedial education is possible. For the latter, I’m not so convinced there are any good solutions.
A little white gem, who’s also a little bit tabby, maybe even a little bit rock n’ roll…. Too cute!!! Love his little smudgie nose
“Y NOT” Ryder! You rock. What a sweetie pie.
They just keep getting cuter and cuter and cuter ……
Happy Purrsday to all celebrating today!
Ryder is absolutely beautiful!!!
I miss my Bob who’s at home today! He had a busy weekend, tough, so maybe he needs the rest. Yesterday the little guy had a bath, so now he’s nice a fluffy and smells great.
I changed the water in Bob’s beta-fish tank over the weekend, and the Bobster was highly entertained. I put the fish in a cup and then put new water in the tank and put it on the floor for about an hour befor putting the fish back. Well, Bob spent the entire hour circling the tank, looking for his fish! When he got tired, he went to lay down with his nose right by the tank, so he could keep looking for his little friend. He was exited when I put the beta back and went on to “chase” the thing for quite a while. Needless to say, he was exhausted last night!
Bob sounds like Toby. Poor Tobes has a traumatic friday. First he had a pedicure. He used to be good but now he struggles and screams when i am on the last two (always two) toes. The he too got a bath and is now super fluffy and soft, and then the big scarey vacum came out.
Toby, too has a beta fish. And he watched me change the water (from a safe distance away from the sink as that is where he was bithed). Toby would have gotten his fish out of the tank alot sooner except for the whole water thing. As soon as he dips his paw in the water he freaks out about it being wet. yet tries again.
toby is only a little older than bob, i bet they would have lots of fun playing!
I bet they would have fun, too, Tober Toes! Bob needs his claws trimmed, too, but I try never to do it the same day as a bath, because it makes me feel to guilty! The maincure-thing may be as bad as the bath!
I don’t know for sure, but I think the Bob would brave the water to get the beta! I’m hoping I won’t find out!
My sister’s cats liked to drink from the gold fish bowl. The fish got used to it or maybe he died from a heart attack after a few years of having furry faces stuck in his bowl. After he died she went to put the bowl up and the cats had a fit. That was there drinking bowl and nothing else would do. Now she has a gold fish bowl full of water and guests always look for the fish.
Too funny, Great Dane, you really need to get these antics of Bob on video! Love hearing the stories, keep them coming. Belly scratches and heat brushes to Bob! Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Head brushes, god lord, heat brushes will send him over the top! Sorry for the typo! Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Bob cam! Bob cam! We want a Bob cam!!! What a great story. 🙂
I really should get a video camera and film the little Bobster’s antics! He’s so funny!
Agreed!
Nice little face on this kitty. Cutie pie. 🙂
TOO CUTE!!!
What a cute little fluff ball!
Love the pink nose and those paws!
Hi, Kittenmaster! Hi, Alex!
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer!!!
Awww…fluffy love!
AWWWW!! Cuteness like that means trouble.
Hi Chuck, how are you?
We seem to be missing a bunch of people this morning…..People, Labor Day is NEXT monday!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!
Doing good. Dropped my son off at the airport saturday so, it’s just me and the kitties now. My brother decided I didn’t need to sit here all by myself so he took me to Tunica, MS for some adult play time.
Good for you, Crazycatman! I hope you had a great time!
Ryder has the sweetest expression, and such unusual markings.
Hey, Karin… How did the second interview go? I looked at the weekend postings and didn’t see anything… hope all is well.
Yeah Karin….we’re thinking about ya, we need an update…
FEATHER BOA fuzzzzz
Kittenmaster: How are book sales going on Kittenwars?
You know what? I have no idea at all.
I really should find out.
I looked at the listing for Kittenwars on Amazon.com which has it ranked at #209,118 in book sales. That is a meaningless number to me. I wrote a review for it. I encourage others on TDK who’ve purchased the book to do the same. Go, Kittenmaster!!
Thanks Kitten Whisperer!
I’ve been told that reviews can make a real difference, because Amazon’s editors take notice of the books that people are talking about.
So yes, everyone should review it!
Hi Kittenmaster,
Can you tell me when your book Kittenwar, will be in bookstores? If it already is, what section would it be listed under? I looked for it in one of our bookstores and I couldn’t find it. I will try the other bookstore next time. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Kittenmaster.
Order it on Amazon.com if you can’t find it.
I’m not really sure. Amazon ship as soon as they have it in their warehouse, which is why you can get order it already from them, but I don’t know when it’s supposed to reach the actual stores – I will find out for you.
I imagine it will be stocked in the ‘humour’ section if there is one – that’s where it’s listed on the publisher’s website.
Right: I have an answer. The book should be showing up in stores ‘about now’, and will be on the new releases tables at Barnes & Noble from tomorrow!
Anybody get the BOMC (Book of the Month Club)? The Kittenwars book is in this month’s flyer. Only $10.49 for club members! How does that compare to Amazon?
$10.17 plus S/H at Amazon.com
Thanks Kittenmaster. The bookstores back here have a “New Releases” section as you walk in the door. I’ll check it out soon. It’ll give me something to look for, next weekend. 🙂
Another little cutie pie. I love the markings on his face.
I wanna coooool Ryder, a cool, cool, cool, cool Ryder….
Happy birthday season greetings to Sandi and Kitten Whisperer. Hey, if bacon goes well with peanut butter, why not chocolate? I’m game.
White light to Rainingwolf and Cheri’s dad. Thanks for reminding me to vote, Rainingwolf.
Happy Monday, all. Have to get off the internet before I get caught .
Dee, check my e-mails? Getting up in the middle of the night last night was fun…
Just loved the image of Michelle doing that number, thanks for the memories!
I’m not usually a fan of white cats, but this little beauty today stole my heart! The color of the yarn/feather lei/boa just accentuate his caramel colors.
Question for my TDK family, especially with the talk of the birthdays and Labor Day. Man friend’s birthday is 9/3… a friend asked him what is doing to celebrate (he usually doesn’t as he is Witness but has been celebrating since being with me as I am not) and his response was “Whatever my social director decides” Meaning, of course, me. Well, I have my eye on tickets for an event in October that I’ll get…. so we’ll simply celebrate a little later. But, what bothers me is his attitude. It’s true.. in the 3 years we’ve been together he has planned ONE thing! Any way… should I do more for him on his actual B-day? It’s his 50th…
“Whatever my social director decides†– Hmmm… I would pull a little back and ask him what he REALLY wants to do and let him have it the way he wants. Even if it means that you wouldn’t do anything special.
It sounds so much like you get frustrated because you always have to be the strong and the decisive one and he feels weak and dominated by you.
I agree with miu — take a few steps back and let him know you aren’t so available for his birthday. I would play
“aloof” and cheerfully say, “I’m sure you’ve aready made big plans for your birthday on the 3rd, so how about if we celebrate on (fill in the day here). Wherever you decide to take me to celebrate with you, I’ll be happy to go along for the ride. And if you’d rather not choose a place to celebrate, then if you don’t mind, I’d just rather stay home alone.”
Jo… I so admire your witt and words of wisdom.. if I only had the nerve to do what you suggested. Again, I’m not that strong. Although if push comes to shove, I will have find my spine again!
How about asking him to list five things he likes to do and then have him draw one from a hat? Any chance that a productive conversation could be had with him about you being tired of making all thr decisions about what you do together?
Good suggestion on the 5 things he likes.
That’s a good idea as well. Sadly, I’m a bit gun-shy on stuff like that. Not because of his reactions, but from past experiences. I really do need to let him know. He’s just so (almost too) easy going that he accepts everything and doesn’t discuss back. That, too, is frustrating.
And yes, Miu, I am quite frustrated with being the ‘decision maker’…. I often tell him what I have on my schedule, which is a busy one, and his reply is always “ok”… doesn’t ask me to move, change, cancel anything… just rolls with the punches. Where it gets frustrating is when I ask if he wants to join, go along or whatever and he says yes — then acts like I told him he has to. This was part of the scenario yesterday. I reminded him that he has the option to say NO! sigh…
Since it’s a landmark birthday I would not ignore it. My group of friends here always give a surprise party for anyone with a special birthday. Some people are just not planners; if he treats you well in all other areas I would not be concerned. You have to weigh the pluses and minuses in a relationship and decide if it really works for you.
One Popoki…………If I were in your shoes……..I would fix and serve a very special dinner and dessert in front of a roaring fire on his birthday……tho in your case it would be in front of a roaring air conditioner!!! 😆 Then include the tickets, or mention the intention of, in the birthday card. You have covered all the bases of the playing field, without being the “social director”. And, besides, what man would be disappointed to spend a special evening with great food, a loved one, and kitty. 😉
Y Don’t U Play with Me Fuzz
Boa Tamer Fuzz
I introduced my Mum to TDK today, she thought all the kittens were adorable! And today’s – is it just me, or does Ryder look a bit squirrelish with that tail?
Hello, Madcatwoman. Hello to your Mum too. Should we call her MCW’s Mum or does she prefer another name?
I just showed her the pics Kitten Whisperer, all this lot would have confused her utterly!! MCW’s Mad Mum just about hits the spot though… 😉
🙂
I think every guy should wear a feather boa! At least if it makes him look as sweet and cuddly as lil’ Ryder.
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Kitten Whisperer, I love all the senior discounts to be had. Tessie’s birthday was Sat, too. I’m not sure of the actual date as she was a tiny kitten feral rescue I know it was near mine so I share with her. As a special birthday suprize I am working on getting her and her fur sister’s on catster. I hope to get them on soon. 😀
Sandi — this has been a whirlwind of a time for me, and I’m behind in posting and sending birthday wishes. Happy Belated Birthday to you and Tessie, dear heart! We would love to see her on catster — keep us posted! And yes — senior discounts are only one of the grand things about “coming of age!”
Hmmm, feather boa……..(shaking head) I don’t think so.
Come on! Give it a fair try! 😉 If I saw a boa-wearing guy cuddling with a kitten he would have my undivided attention.
…but maybe for all the wrong reasons??!! 😉
I’m with you and Chuck. Nothing better than a manly man who will stop and cuddle a kitten!
Of course I love my less than manly men friends too, especially when they love the kittens. Its all good as long as the kittens are involved.
Y not? FUZZ

Beautiful kitten. I love his markings.
Sorry about the delay. I do not get much time to comment on TDK. We have a walking group at work, so I walk at lunch. I usually on look at TDK after work and do not comment much since by then everyone has finished with it for the day.
Thanks for the concern about my kitties. They are all doing well. I know Alex is not 100 percent but must be feeling fairly good since he is first for the food every morning and evening. Plus he is laid back and tolerates the fluid treatment every 3rd day and the carafate twice a day. His sister and Mom, Tecumseh and Bacardi will be much tough when they get further along with the disease. Especially Tecumseh since she is very feisty and smart. But it is one of the things I enjoy about her so will have to deal with the bad aspect of it soon. My Dad kids me about having a kitty nursing home. I went to a pet grief seminar Saturday put on by the local funeral home. It was good and worth going even though my are still alive. Plus I got to see my green onyx urn I had them order for when I need it.
Yes, single and prefer Lowes to Home Depot. Some of the ladies last week mentioned that they do not put much effort into dating and guess that describes me. Maybe I make poor dating choices but it seems to me that women today do not want or appreciate good guys. People were mentioning their horror stories with e-Harmony. Anyone try the speed dating option? A few people at work keep after me to sign up for it. I did hear that cooking schools were good places to meet women. Since I like to cook, I did try it but it proved to be a dud. They were to young, too old or the ones my age were too married. The classes were fun and learned various dishes from about 12 different countries so it was worth the money. Especially the bread class. Yum!!!
LeeAnne in Florida. Sorry about your back. Backs problems are not fun. Hope your does not bother you very often.
A yurt traditional is a circular wood frame covered with felt and was used by the nomadic people of central Asia.

Catwomen1737 Maybe. I watched the Avengers reruns when I was young so have always had a thing for ladies in tight leather jumpsuits after watching Emma Peel ( Diana Riggs ) save the free world in her outfit.
KITTEN WHISPERER….
I’ve had a busy day, so I’m late posting birthday wishes, but I want to say a few words to you. I think you are the kindest and dearest person — always offering welcoming words to new posters, and drawing them in to the family by asking about their kittehz. You never miss a chance to offer condolences — especially to the young people who post their frustration and sadness over losing a family pet. And your warm words of concern and wisdom are always right on target. I’m so proud to have gotten to know you, and I’m so happy for you that you have a good marriage — that’s the stuff of envy around here! Thank you for being who you are and for being our TDK friend.
Happy, Happy Birthday, KW. And may you have many, many more and live to bury us all!
Thanks, Jo, and to all who gave me birthday wishes. The TDK family has become an important part of my every day. TDKers are the greatest, kindest folks I know. Thank you, Kittenmaster, for this wonderful website we call home. 🙂
Hope you really do have a happy one! Today is my brother’s also, plus mine is in two more days. August is a great month for birthdays…
I’m a little late, but I add my birthday wishes to you, too, Kitten Whisperer. And many, many more!!!
And mine!!!
Happy early purrday, LG!
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer
–In case I’m not able to post that day, I wish you–LG–and your brother purrrfect birthdays 😛
Todays kitten is so sweet my teeth hurt!
What a cuddly kitten! Looks like he had his face in the cocoa jar.
I haven’t been on TDK much lately because I spent the last week moving and doing a million other things. I was worried how the cats would take the move. The girls are happy as clams, but I think McKenzie misses his old sparring partner. Tiger, the neighbor’s cat, would come to the window several times a day and they’d hiss, growl and spit at each other. Now McKenzie goes from window to window, looking out and crying sometimes. Perhaps underneath all that macho bluster they really did like each other.
I bet you are right about McKenzie. 😆
Awwww–that is so sweet–I bet he does miss his friend.
Can’t live with him; can’t live without him… 🙂
Very sweet baby!
What a sweetie!! I love the little markings. I want to kiss her little nose and rub her little ears! 🙂 Have a great Monday all.
Very lovely kitten today. The marking on his face are great.
This is a little scary: deep fried lattes???
Fried Foods Rule Texas Fair Contest
By Associated Press
2 hours ago
DALLAS – The entries in this year’s Big Tex Choice Awards could entice State Fair visitors back to the deep fryer for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There are Deep Fried Lattes for a morning jump-start, plus fried chili pie, fried guacamole, and a range of crispy desserts including Fried Cookie Dough.
The third annual Big Tex Choice Awards contest on Labor Day tests the fair grub ingenuity of State Fair of Texas concessionaires. Past Big Tex awards have offered nonfried options, but none of this year’s seven entries escaped the fryer.
“I think they’re good products,” said Ron Black, the fair’s senior vice president of food service and novelties. “We’ve got experienced concessionaires, and their products all taste really good.”
Michael Levy will debut his family’s new Deep Fried Latte, which is a fried pastry topped with cappuccino ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream and instant coffee powder.
“We have gained about 10 pounds trying this. I’m not kidding,” Levy said. “I’ve probably eaten 300 of these trying to get it right.”
Concessionaire Allan Weiss is offering up Zesty Fried Guacamole Bites, a variation on the Fried Avocados he created last year. The bites are a scoop of guacamole, breaded, fried and served with ranch dressings or salsa.
“The Fried Avocado went over so well, and I think people like guacamole even more than they like avocado,” Weiss said.
Gigi White invented Country Pride Peach Cobbler on a Stick, which is a peach cobbler with dumplings rolled in pastry dough and fried, and then covered in brown sugar and cinnamon and skewered. It’s this year’s only entry on a stick.
“I’m a food engineer,” White said. “You really got to work it.”
The other entries include Fernie’s Fried Chili Frito Burrito, Mama’s Fried Sweet Potato Pie and B.W.’s Original Fried Banana Pudding.
“I’m not sure we have another Fried Coke,” Black said, referring to the smash hit of last year’s State Fair. The dish has been imitated at fairs across the country.
Able Gonzales Jr., the creator of Fried Coke, conceded he may never invent an equal.
“I don’t think I be able to beat that type of excitement again,” said Gonzales, the chef behind this year’s Fried Cookie Dough. “That was crazy.”
Hi Folks! If you take another look at his “Y” it looks a lot like an angel with up-raised wings!!!! One of the cutest guardian angels I’ve ever seen….
–Happy belated B-Day Hoosier Hottie– 🙂

Posting late, am getting ready to go to bed. Have not posted in a couple of days, but have noticed HM and Dee, Bumblebee are missing today. Some of them have been gone for a couple of days, when I look back. Bumblebee, are you Ok? Just checking in on some of our long time posters. I have been busy lately and can’t post as I was. Still lurking. Thanks for all of your insight and keeping me in the link. Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Hi Lynn in PA,
I seen Bumblebee post early this morning. I’ve been busy today, too. So, I am now just getting back on to check things out. Post when you can, always good to hear from you. Sweet dreams Lynn.
Hey my Pa. buddy,
Thanks for thinking of me! I was busy reading all the comments and since I didn’t “refresh” the page, didn”t see your post until now. Sleep well my dear friend……
HUGS
Ryder is such a handsome fella. So cute an fluffy.
Hi everyone,
What bootiful babies all weekend and today’s! What a sweet llittle boy. Cuddles with Ryder – just see see Ryder (How many remember THAT song?).
Birthday wishes for Kitten Whisperer, Sandi and Hoosier Hottie, and to those who are August babies.
I always clip claws BEFORE bathing cats. I leads to fewer and less deep scratches – if any.
I had a very busy weekend.
Our church sponsores a coffee House (bringing in singer/songwriters)once a month in a smoke-free, alcohol-free environment. This weekend was our 2nd annual Vaudeville show, and I got to be one of the name card carrying “girls”.
I was “Mae East”. I am normally a jeans and tshirt person, turned into a curly blond wig, make up, glittery false eyelashes, and heels, sashaying and playing Mae West. My 17-yr-old grandson wouldn’t even get near me (he was that embarassed) , and many of my friends didn’t even recognize me.
It was soooo much fun.
They Sunday we had a members swim party at my best friend’s house. More fun.
I slept good last night!
Jo,
you always have the perfect responses to things – I envy you.
Positive energy to those who need it, including Rainingwolf and Cheri’s dad.
Instinct and Intuition – have a safe trip, and a good move.
Happy Monday to all.

Sorry I did not post but once today. What is the saying? “I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once?” That was today. I’m going to bed. Hugs to all of you, and an extra hug to Rainingwolf and Cheri. I apologize if I missed others, but I just kind scanned the posts because there were SO MANY!
I’m going to bed to snuggle with Wolfie, Teensie and Schmooshie McFluffersons (also known as 120, the highway he was found on.) The other cats do not care for bed but have their own places.
😉
Sleep well, Catwoman. I hope tomorrow is an easier day foryou. Snuggling with your kits is good medicine!
Have happy dreams, Catwoman1737. And have a good day tomorrow.
You, too, Kitten Whisperer.
I had to take a peak at this sweet kitty again! What a cutie!
I was wondering how could the Ryder’s owner boyfriend has brought him back last week coz shown in pic it was taken 4 years a go! I got confused..
hi the date on the camara was wrong… i wish i noticed it before i took the picture.
WOW! We’ve just had a total lunar eclipse here and when the moon was in full shadow it was a wonderful rich coppery red colour and looked like a huge coloured pearl suspended in the sky. It’s full moon tonight too so it is extra special.
Hello TDK family!
I”M BACK!! had a great time, And wish all of you were there! It was beautiful! waking up and drinking coffee on the porch overlooking the lake! What a view! The general store had a maincoon mix with extra toes, So I got to snuggle a cat all week! But I did miss Chucky! He was really happy to see me and missed me as much as I missed him!
