Kitties! I was talking to Spitty the other day...he is as handsome as he ever was...my gosh!  And we were saying how wonderful it was to be with our mom's all the time and what fun it was for Christmas as they always got us something we would enjoy.  

Same happens on the Rainbow Bridge.  Santa visits us all there and gives us loves, hugs, treats and toys.  We are never forgotten by our parents or by Santa.  

And we visit with one another...remember Christmas's with our beloved families.  Some of us try very hard to get to our parents beds while they are sleeping and rest on them...hoping that dreams of us will suffuse their dreams while we are there. 

Me...I am thinking of times in my lives...

 Kitties, it is almost Thanksgiving.  Me and my spouse Nik will celebrate at the Rainbow Bridge together but we wish we could be with our Mom's again to give them lovins and to sneak some turkey from the table.  Now me, I love me some corn kernels so I'd get into the corn too.  Well, I love me some gravy too.  Np sweets.  Mom would never feed me any because it isn't good for me, but too, I never developed a sweet fang.  

I had such a loving and wonderful time while I was here.  I got very ill the last year I never felt well any longer...but I was sure loved.  

Staying Happy Thanksgiving  with lots of love to all of my furriends here and at the Bridge with me.

 My goodness, the Bridge is so busy since I got here in 2011.  I can't believe it.  So many of my friends from here and Twitter have met me and more have come.  We  who are here always wait at the Portal to help them through, and to explain what is happening and show them unending love when they get here.

I've kept an eye on Katie Isabella...I come and see her often in her dreams.  I get her to snuggle up tight to Mom so I can have some of her warmth and love too.  I miss her so much.  I know she misses me.  

This may be hard to learn but Mom and brothers thought to put me with my human brovver Erich when he went to Heaven two Septembers ago.  He loved me so much!  And I loved him.  Heck, he even shared a little bacon with me when Mom made it for him for breakfast for all those years he had visited on the weekends while off work and then, when he lived here for a few years.  But when push came to shove, Mom kept me here in the bedroom where I could stand guard over her and Katie while they slept.  Mom still has all my things in the heavy oak library card case she bought 10 or so years ago and brought home. It only has my things, card, whiskers, furs, Cards  from friends for when I went to the Bridge, so many things of mine .  But a favorite toy he gave me went with him.  A small tiger. I was honored. 

I keep watch over Mom too.  She still looks like my mommy.  I'm glad she had Katie to turn to.  I chose well.

 They wait for no one, not even Torties.

 Kitties!  Mom and I read in Brian's blog about the kittens, Macy and Maxwell digging up carpet to give to their Mom for Mother's Day.  That was wonderful of them to think of 'cause carpet is so expensive.  Mom started in right away about how *I* dug up OUR carpet too!  HA! 

Mommy worked a 12 hour rotating shift.  She got up at 0325 in the morning when she was on day shifts and 1525  (3:25 in the afternoon) when she was on midnight shifts.  So..when she came home at 0630 of fmids, she fed me..went straight to the 5 minute shower she took..& came out.  Logged onto the computer and helped me for about 10 minutes to make a blog.  Grabbed something to eat and...the barricade began just before she hit the sack about an hour after she came in the door.  

Barricade? Yes.  For the first weeks I came to live here, while Mom was on mids, Mom shut the hall door.  I couldn't bust into her room and wake her up and so on.  She had to be wary of light coming in there too, as she can't sleep with light.  Nap, yes but not the sleep one needs to work.  Well sir, it didn't take but a few times of blockading me out of the rest of the house that I took matters into my own paws. 

When she got up one afternoon to go in on mids, after she opened the door she saw that I had tried to dig my way under the door.  What in the world else wouldn't a reasonable cat do? I dug and dug and couldn't get under the door!  BUT she saw my hard work and decided to lay car mats in front of the threshold before closing the door.  That worked- but she felt badly.  

So.  She used the flat iron she uses to hold the door open, to fix it so the door was open one cat's width.  Then she progressed down the hall and closed the bathroom door. (light shining into mom's bedroom from the window in there across from the bedroom)   Then, the spare room door.  Again too much light...She left our bedroom door open one cat's width, and laid something heavy on the backside of the door so I couldn't open it farther.  

She lined the windows with aluminum foil so that it was black in the room.  I got to come in and sleep with her any time I wanted to..and we lived happily ever after!  It's so hard to put up and take down it stayed in place years until she no longer had to deal with shifts.  That was YEARS.  The brothers were invited to the great unveiling (taking down the aluminum foil) cleaning the windows, adding the only curtains in the whole house..and daylight in our bedroom!  WHOA NELLY.   

Mom said she had a ceiling fan installed and when the electrician went in to do it..power was turned off for his work...he was shocked to go into a totally blackened bedroom.  Mom explained why.  She also had to hold a flashlight the whole time.   So..when she told Brian *I* pulled up carpet, I had a darned good reason.  I was trying to sleep with my mom in our bed!
