KIZMET’S BEJEWELED SUNDAY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #371

Bejeweled SelfieI sure hope y’all aren’t tired of seeing me. I am the only member of the Kitties Blue who enjoys posing. And, if I do say so myself, I am one adorable cat! And I love how Mom fancied me up with this bejeweled frame.

We do have another photo to share with you today, however.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

This is four of us enjoying some time on the catio. I am on the perch on the left, Cooper Murphy on the railing, Astrid is on the table, and Sawyer on the deck.

 

 

Hopping Time

I want everyone to get to their easy Sunday as quickly as possible, so I am not going to mess around with a lot of jibber jabber. You can link up below, and you all know the drill. You don’t have to post today, and the hop remains open through Thursday. So please join me. You don’t want me to be lonely…right? Oops, Mom just reminded me to say, “thank you,” for hopping, but if you aren’t hopping and just visiting, “thank you as well!” All of us are super appreciative.

Purrs and paw-pats, Kizmet

p.s. I asked Mom to make you another puzzle. Hope you enjoy it.

We are going to keep this short, as we know you want to enjoy the holiday and not spend a lot of time reading.

Astrid and Mau are here to send love and Easter greetings to their spouses, Sampson (Kitty Cat Chronicles) and Allie (Friends Furever).

SUNDAY SELFIES GUEST HOST

Sunday Selfies: Week #189

It’s snowing again! We are not happy. When Mom turned on the weather channel this morning they kept saying the name of our city over-and-over again. The dang storm was headed right for us. As we are all grumping around, Mom and Dad found a guest host for us today. We think you’ll like him. He’s pretty darn cute. (Please don’t tell our friends at the Trout Towne Tabbies that we said this.)

 

Eastern Screech Owl hosts Sunday Selfies.

 

We’re calling this fellow, Screechy. He is a red Eastern Screech Owl. Screechy is an Ambassador for the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center of Roanoke. He has an injured wing and cannot fly. Those tufts on the top of his head are not ears but feathers. His ears are on the side of his head. Unlike humans, his eyes are fixed and he has no peripheral vision without moving his head. He is very small, only seven to nine inches tall.

We hope you enjoyed meeting our guest.

BIRTHDAY SELFIES

Sunday Selfies: Week #188

Today Giulietta and our special angel, Fiona, celebrate their eighth birthday. Fiona left us almost 16 months ago, but as long as sis Giulietta is alive, we will celebrate Fiona as well. Giulietta snapped 23 selfies and was pretty miffed at me that I made her take that many, but she’s not great at looking at the cell phone. I’ll share the final photo later in this post. It’s a doozy. But first here is the gorgeous birthday girl.

 

Giulietta's Birthday Selfie

 

Of course, Fiona was unable to send a new selfie from the RB, but she too needs a birthday “card,” so I made her one from a photo taken before she got sick.

 

Angel Fiona's Birthday Selfie

 

Our resident baker, Cat Scout Mau, made a cake for the girls. We hope you’ll join us for a piece of cake and some champagne.

 

 

Remembering a Friend

Before hopping Kitties Blue and I want to honor and remember a super sweet woofie, who now has her wings. Maggie was an adorable and energetic Rack Russell Terrier who lived with my dear friend, Mary Jane, her husband, Kevin, and their daughters, Emily and Amelia. In her photo she is posing with a Christmas ornament I gave her a few years ago.

UNWILLING SELFIE PARTICIPANT

Sunday Selfies: Week #182

 

Lisbeth protests taking a selfie.

 

I bet you are not surprised to see my airplane ears after reading the title of this post. I was the only one hanging out with our humans this morning when Mom wanted a selfie for today’s post. As well as showing my displeasure with my ears, I refused to look at the phone when I snapped this.

Mom was looking for a nice frame to jazz this up and found this vintage photo effect on PhotoFaceFun. If I was going to send my photo to someone, for example my boyfriend Charles, I would have been more cooperative.

My fursibs and I all hope that those joining our hop today won’t be as obstinate as I was.

Here’s a few tips for joining the blog hop. If you’re a regular with us, you can, of course, skip this stuff.

Purrs and paw-pats, Lisbeth

 

NAUGHTY BOY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #180

If you missed yesterday’s post, you are unaware that our mom volunteered me as your host for today’s Sunday Selfies post. You probably think that it is because I am totally adorable. But you’d be wrong…not when it comes to my adorableness but for the reason I was volunteered.

Dad Tom and Mom think I was naughty on Friday night and that taking a selfie would be my punishment. First of all, I do not think I was naughty but just a bit impulsive. And secondly, I’m happy to take a selfie. Like I said, “I am adorable.”

 

Naughty boy hosts Sunday Selfies

 

Now, look at that face. I am totally innocent looking, so how how could I have been naughty. I only slipped out the front door and went under Mom’s car to play a little, It was dark out, but I swear I didn’t plan to run off anywhere. I was just getting a little fresh air. Okay, I know I can do that on the catio, but I just needed to see if the air is fresher in front of the house.That’s totally reasonable, don’t you think?

I’ll admit my plan had one major flaw. I made my escape at dinnertime! Mom thought if she told me it was dinnertime, I would sprint right back in the house. Nope. I’m not that easy. It took the promise of treats and Dad dangling my wand toy in front of me until he was able to scoop me up. I wasn’t pleased by the outcome, but at least I didn’t miss my dinner. The treats, however, were left on the front porch. he skunks probably found them.

So, anyhoo, I am here as your host today.

Tabby Cat Club

I liked this selfie so much, I used it for my Tabby Cat Club I.D. as well. I wanted to join Cat Scouts with Mau and Cooper Murphy, but Mom says that isn’t going to happen. She claims that Cat Scouts takes a lot of time and effort. She thinks I wouldn’t help her. Hmmm…she’s probably right! I’m a kitten and extremely busy. So I have joined Cooper Murphy at TCC.

Health Update

Again, if you didn’t drop by yesterday, you don’t know that Mau has the eye icks! He went to the vet yesterday morning and is now getting meds and eye ointment along with Calista Jo. Mom and Dad caught his infection a bit more quickly, so he didn’t have a high fever or need fluids. So we could us a few more purrs, prayers and POTP that this does not spread to any others in the furmily. Astrid, Giulietta, Lisbeth and Misty May are healthy, and we’d like to keep it that way.

Hopping

Now that I have shared my adorableness, it is time for you to share yours. here’s a few tips for sharing your selfie and joining the hop.

IF WE COULD TURN BACK TIME

Health Update

Before I show my selfie, Mom asked me to fill you in on what’s going on at our house. Holy carp…2018 continues to be one sucky year. We’d all like to turn the calendar back to 2017. Calista Jo is now sick. She was rushed off to the vet office today with a badly swollen and infected right eye. Mom had to put a warm, wet compress on it to help get the eye open. Her fever was not as high as Cooper Murphy’s was…only 104 degrees. She got sub-q fluids and an injection, and is now on the same antibiotics and antibiotic eye ointment as Cooper Murphy, who has two more days of medication. C.J. is now the one being confined to the living room.

As we did with Cooper Murphy, Mom, Dad and Kitties Blue are asking for purrs, prayers and POTP for Calista Jo. But more importantly, will you please pray that this infection doesn’t work it’s way through our entire fur family. Thank you.

Sunday Selfies: Week #179

I didn’t expect to be back with you again today, but I was the only one hanging out with Mom today. I really didn’t want to take this as you can see by my ears. This actually is the best of three photos I snapped.

Thanks for joining us again today. We appreciate all the love and support.

COOPER MURPHY’S GOTCHA DAY

Sunday Selfies: Week #178

Today is the first anniversary of my Gotcha Day. Unfortunately we won’t be doing much celebrating, as I am not feeling up to it. And I told Mom that I wouldn’t take a selfie right now, as my eyes are not looking very good. So I selected a selfie I took on Christmas Day to share with you. I hope you like it.

 

Cooper Murphy Gotcha Day Sunday Selfie

 

Do you like how I have the outline of a star right on my nose? I think that means I am special and makes me even cuter than I already am.

My Health

Mom said yesterday that we’d let you know more about what is going on with me. They took me to see Dr. Neel when they were picking up Sawyer after his neuter surgery. I was supposed to get my yearly vaccines and have my right eye looked at. Mom and Dad thought Sawyer may have scratched it during one of our wrestling matches.

Dr. Neel stained my eye and didn’t see any scratches, but by third eyelid and conjunctiva were red and somewhat swollen. When she took my temp (yeah, I know, that sucks), I had a fever of 105+ degrees. She did some blood work, which turned out to be okay. Then she gave me some fluids, a shot and a pill. I felt a little better.

Mom and Dad gave me more sub-Q fluids yesterday morning. (They had lots of practice with Fiona.) Unfortunately, I wasn’t very cooperative, but they did get some in me. I also had ointment put in my eyes. Mom was supposed to give me a pill last night, but nothing she tried worked. I’m no dummy!

Anyhoo, I have some sort of infection. Whatever the cause, I just have to get better. Mom says that when I am feeling well again, we can open our Secret Paws gift. It arrived on January 2. As that was the day Lily Olivia received her wings, it remains unopened. Mom hopes the promise of getting to dive into the goodies will be motivation for me to get well super quick. I also need to get well, as Mom and Dad already are stressed out from losing Lily.

If it wouldn’t be too much to ask, do you think you could send me a few purrs, prayers and POTP?

I am pretty tuckered out now, so I will let Mom finish this post.

Purrs and paw-pats, Cooper Murphy 

Hopping With Us

Last week, I said Kitties Blue and I would be making every attempt to visit and comment on the posts of everyone who entered the hop. Unfortunately Lily’s passing got me totally side-tracked. With Cooper being ill, I am not certain I will do much better this week. But the promise stands. Once we get things back to a somewhat normal routine, we will be working on that promise.

REBELLION OF KITTIES BLUE

Sunday Selfies: #175

Kitties Blue are rebelling. (Pray for us that Santa Claws doesn’t find out!) We have collectively put down our paws and refused to host the blog hop. Week after week and year after year, one of us is here (with the exception of a few guest hosts). We told the mom if she couldn’t find a guest host for today’s post, she’d just have to do this herself.

So guess what? She accepted our challenge but said she was going to invite a guest to join her. So there is the twofur twofer we hinted at yesterday.

 

Kitties Blue and Kitties Kimmell moms.

 

Instead of cats today, we present two cat moms. You probably recognize our mom on the left. And we suspect most of you recognize the lady on the right as well. That is Teddy and Angel Sammy’s mom, Pam, from Two Spoiled Cats. On Thursday the two moms and two dads traveled about two hours each and met for lunch. According to Mom, the food was terrific, but the camaraderie and conversation was even better.

All Kitties Blue, except the non-stop play team of Cooper Murphy and Sawyer, are looking forward to an easy Sunday. We hope that is among your plans as well…of course, after you snap and post your selfie.

For anyone new to hopping or our blog hop, here are a few guidelines.

  • The link to add your selfie to the hop is below.
  • You also will find below the code to use if you’d like the hop to appear on your blog.

Thanks for hopping.

HERE’S NOT LOOKING AT YOU

Sunday Selfies: Week #171

I agreed to do the selfie this week. I, however, did not agree to come out from under the counter or look at the camera. Regardless, I am pure tortie purrfection. Did y’all see that Menagerie Mom at Four-Legged Furballs is going to do a series, Ten Days of Torties? Astrid and I are majorly excited about this. I have my paws crossed that she’ll dedicate at least one day to dilute torties like me. Knowing his predilection for kitties of the tortie persuasion, we bet Bear (Momma Kat and Her Bear Cat) will be hanging out on their blog for the next ten days.

 

Calista Jo refuses to look at camera for her selfies.
