MAU’S SILLY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #204

 

Mau's Silly Sunday Selfie

 

Dad tried to get me to play with the snakey wand toy, but I wasn’t interested. Being a wise @$$, he dropped it over my head. Then he laughed and made fun of me, as I just sat there with it on my head. If I didn’t feel like playing, I wasn’t going to expend the energy to remove the silly thing from my head.

Mom tried to fancy up the photo by adding the mirrored border using Ribbit.com. I think it looks sort of cool. I sure hope Allie likes it; even though, it’s not the best photo of me.

Unusually, I am a cat of few words today, so let’s get on with the hopping.

Blog Hop

So here’s all that stuff about hopping Mom makes us post every week. I’m not going to complain about it, as she isn’t going to listen. Read it or not. It makes no matter to me!

Purrs and paw-pats, Mau (with love and smoochies to my wife Allie)

p.s. For the first time ever, we are posting the hop a couple of hours early, as Mom is super tired and doesn’t want to stay up until midnight. Hope this isn’t a problem for anyone!

 



NO MORE GRUMPY OLD MAN

Sunday Selfies: Week #192

I cannot believe I have not done a selfie since March 3. I have changed a lot in those five-plus weeks. I’m still a crazy kitten at heart, but I no longer look like a grumpy old man. Mom recently learned that Manx cats do not mature until they reach the age of four-and-a-half to five years old. Mom and Dad do not know if they have enough energy in their advanced years to keep up with me. MOL! You can bet I’ll continue to test them.

Anyhoo, here is my selfie.

 

Sawyer's selfie

 

Mom asked me if it would be okay if I shared my post. I said, “of course.” After all, Mom is one of the people who feeds me.

Another Sad Good-Bye

Today, we are remembering a kitty you may not know. Foxy was a Cat Scout and friend of Mau and Cooper Murphy. She also spent time living with Lisbeth’s boyfriend, Charles’, family when she was unable to live with her dad. They all loved her very much.

Foxy was a beautiful tortie girl and received her wings yesterday at just 12 years old.

 

 

Foxy had a blog, but she didn’t post very often. You can find it at FoxysLife.wordpress.com. If you’d like to visit her blog and leave condolences for Dad Ed, that would be great. If you would rather leave condolences here, we will make certain to forward them to Dad Ed, and Charles’ mom, Inge.

THE ELUSIVE MISTY MAY

Sunday Selfies: Week #191

Misty May has been more demanding since Lily Olivia passed away. And, like Lily, she does not take,”no,” for an answer…ever! Consequently she was right up in our faces this morning. That made it quite easy to coerce her into taking a selfie. Of course, she looks rather stern. That’s her “go to” expression.

 

Misty May hosts Sunday Selfies

 

If you are like Misty May and will do almost anything to avoid taking a selfie, she challenges you to put your best paw forward today and show off for all your friends and followers. There is one specific follower that Misty May hopes will like her selfie.

Let’s Hop!

We were delighted to see so many hoppers last week. We look forward to seeing lots of fuzzy, smiling faces again this week.

EASTER SUNDAY SELFIES

Sunday Selfies: Week #190

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

We have two hosts today. Just as Lisbeth had hoped her boyfriend Charles would see and like her art yesterday, your selfie hosts are hoping the same thing.

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

 

Easter Sunday Selfies

 

All the Kitties Blue, Dad Tom and I wish everyone a happy and blessed holiday whether you are celebrating Easter or Passover.

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.

Time to Hop

Now it’s time for you to share your selfie with all of us. If you are new to hopping or just need a refresher course to enter our hop, here are some pointers.

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.

Giulietta’s Outtake Selfie

Giulietta's Outtake Selfie  

LISBETH’S BEST SELFIE EVER!

Sunday Selfies: Week #187

I am really excited to show my selfie today, as I actually took a good one. I always say one and done, and then it turns out crummy. But today I got it right the first time. I sure hope Charles comes to visit and sees how pretty I look.

 

Lisbeth's Green-eyed Selfie

 

So, you probably are wondering if I was naughty again and that’s why I am here. That is not the case. I have been purrfect in every way. In fact, as Mom writes this for me, I am sitting right next to the computer purring happily. No escapes and no hiding. I am here today as I have been hanging out with Mom, and I was an easy target when it came to selfie time.

I not only like my photo, but I also love the spring green frame Mom selected for me. It accents my eyes, is purrfect for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day as well as to brighten our spirits as snow is scheduled to arrive later today.

Time to Hop

Now that I have shown you my selfie, it’s time for you to share your selfie with all of us. If you are new to hopping or just need a refresher course to enter our hop, here are some pointers.

Happy Birthday

Today all of the Kitties Blue want to send special 16th birthday best wishes to our friend, Madi. Madi is a Cat Scout with Mau and Cooper Murphy. She also is the girlfriend of Mau’s brother-in-law, Raz. And Lily Olivia was a Crotchety Cougar with her. Madi also has her own blog, Madi and Mom Down Home in N.C.

In celebration of her birthday, Madi is taking a road trip, as she’s now old enough to get her driver’s license. The trip is a blog hop. To find out how to join, click on the link to Madi’s blog.

Purrs and paw-pats, Lisbeth (with kisses for Charles)



SAWYER’S SLEEPY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #186

 

 

I can’t believe I am back here again. I was a totally purrfect kitten all week…well, except for the little pooping in the PTU incident. (But more about that later.)

I was having a nice snooze on the catio when Dad Tom showed up with a camera, woke me up and forced me to take several selfies. This is just one of them. I suspect Mom will be showing the others in weeks to come.

You might think I am yelling at Dad, but I was only yawning.

Now to that PTU pooping. It seems our pal, Raz, Allie’s brother (Friends Furever), has a similar affliction. (Our Fiona did as well.) In light of this, my fellow Gingersnap’s mom, Pam, made us this badge. Pretty funny…don’t you think?

Birthday Wishes

Today is a special day for our friend, Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats. It is his second birthday. Teddy is Angel Sammy’s brother. He and Cooper Murphy are best pals and two of the three Cat Scout Gingersnaps. So, of course, we couldn’t miss wishing him a happy birthday.

Teddy is having a party over on his blog, and we know he’d love it if you would stop in and enjoy the fun. You can get there by clicking on the link in the above paragraph.

 

 

Saying Good-Bye

This part of our post makes us all super sad. We are saying good-bye to another dear friend. Kali (The Canadian Cats) has received her wings and flown off to the Rainbow Bridge. Kali was the co-founder of the Crotchety Cougars along with Phoebe from 15 And Meowing. Unfortunately both of them are now gone, as are members, Kit, Ellie and our own, Lily Olivia. We are certain most of your already know of Kali’s passing, but as she and sister, Shoko, are faithful selfies hoppers, we knew we needed to honor and remember the sweet girl here. If by some chance you haven’t visited Kali’s family to leave your condolences, click on the link above to visit their blog.

 

Purrs and paw-pats, Sawyer (on behalf of all the Kitties Blue)

 




WRONG PLACE RIGHT TIME

Sunday Selfies: Week #185

 

Misty May Sunday Selfie

 

Misty May, being Misty May, had a lot to say about having to do the selfie this week. She tried to hide among and under the newspaper to escape the inevitable, but both Dad Tom and I saw her. Tom shoved his phone at her, and she actually got a good photo of herself. She usually refuses to look anywhere near the screen.

Her complaint is that Lisbeth was naughty this week and so should have had to take the selfie. Sawyer was bad last week and had to do the selfie, so I see her point. But sometimes it just comes down to being in the right wrong place at the right time.

I’m feeling a bit under the weather so this is going to be a short post. Kitties Blue are looking forward to seeing all your selfies. Here are some hop tips for those who are new to Sunday Selfies.

MAD SELFIE FROM NAUGHTY SAWYER

Sunday Selfies: Week #184

So…it seems the humans I live with think a cat, whom they perceive to have been naughty, is required to take the selfie. Purrsonally I have no idea what I did that could possibly be considered naughty. Did I hork in one of their shoes? NO! Did I steal another cat’s food? NO! How could I? Those same humans make me eat by myself. Did I pee or poop outside the litter box? NO! Did I scratch either of their faces? NO! Well, maybe just a couple of times. See…I have been a purrfect angel kitten. Don’t you agree?

For some stoopy reason, those same humans think that bolting out the front door, whenever I have the opportunity, and having a little adventure is naughty. I don’t have a clue what the problem is. Do you think it’s because I did it two days in a row? You know, I lived outside before they brought me into the house. I swear I can take care of myself. Regardless, I was forced to take the selfie today.

 

Naughty Sawyer is mad about having to take a selfie.

 

Can you tell I was not a happy kitten? The woman had the nerve to tell me I cut off part of my ear, thinking I would take another photo. Yeah, right NO! I could care less about a missing ear tip. The man was holding me when I took this, and I do not like to be held. The woman put that fancy confetti stuff around the edges of the photo to try to disguise my frown. Why bother? I was mad. I’m not embarrassed to show you.

Honoring and Remembering Sister Kit

 

 

Sister Kit from Brian’s Home received her wings and halo on February 10. Just three days previous, her brother, Brian, reported that she was having good and bad days, but with a change of diet, her glucose had been regulated and she hadn’t needed to start on insulin. She also had gained more than one pound. That sounded encouraging, so we were shocked to find out on February 10 that Dad Terry had to help her to the Bridge.

Each week a member of Brian’s large family joins us on the Selfies blog hop. So, as we have done with other regular hoppers, we are honoring Kit today. She and Lily Olivia were Crotchety Cougars together, so we hope that Lily Olivia and the other Cougars who have gone to the Bridge were there to greet her.

Rest in Peace Sister Kit. You were well loved and will be remembered forever.

Another Good-Bye

We learned today that handsome, five-and-a-half-year-old, black panfur, Puck, from Bad Cat Chris passed suddenly on Thursday after a very brief illness. If you have not had the opportunity to visit and leave your condolences, click on the link in the previous sentence. Rest in Peace Puck.

Hopping

It’s time for you to share your selfie with us. And if you were mad, as I was, when you took it, forget about it. That’s our purrogative as kitties.
