Do y’all recognize what I am lounging upon? Sure you do. It’s a dreaded suitcase. And it belongs to my dad. He abandoned us yesterday at 0’dark hundred. He’s gone to Tulsa for ten days for a volleyball championship. All I can say is, “Thoughtless and inconsiderate.” Sure, they’ll be more room in the humans’ bed for us, and Mom will be home more ’cause she can’t ride the tandem alone. Other than that, we cannot think of one good thing about it. There’ll be one less lap available and one less person to let us in and out. Worst of all, Dad forgot to fill our bird/squirrel feeders. If Mom doesn’t figure out how to do it, my face is going to grow even poutier.
Stay tuned to see how this unfolds as the days drag by in a never ending procession of sad and dejected Kitties Blue.
The Patriotic Pets Photo Contest
This contest, sponsored by Just4MyPet.com continues at SnapYeti. Mauricio is in the lead by several votes over the 19 woofies in the competition. It does seem, however, that you can vote once per day. He’s hoping that you will take a moment to do so every day by giving him a “thumbs up” on his Independence Day photo. He particulary appreciates all of the “hollers” he has received with your kind and encouraging words.
Cat Scouts Sock Hop
Tonight the Cat Scouts’ Troop, WorldWide Wildcats, is having a Sock Hop at Cat Scouts. Three of Kitties Blue will be attending: Mau and his lovely girlfriend, Allie (Friends Furever); Astrid and her beau, Sampson (Kitty Cat Chronicles) and Lisbeth with her furiend and admirer, Charles. They have all entered the Dance Contest and are hoping to win, of course. Mom says that she will share photos on Sunday.

Oh jeepers Calista Jo… what a dreadful situation. 10 days is like a million years… sure hope you will be okay!!
You’ve been abandoned? Humans have no consideration. At least you still have mom around and some good news to soften the blow. We’re honored to feature you on the Pet Parade this week. Enjoy!

That is some fabulous frownies! Can’t wait to see the pics from the sock hop tomorrow!
Banjo hates seeing that suitcase come out too! But he’s always lovey dovey when we return. 🙂

How does he dare to abandon you ?!? I’m here to comfort you ! Purrs, Zorro
How DARE he???? You would think these clueless peeps would learn that home is where they BELONG…but noooooooo, they go off to parts unknown! Talk about RUDE.
Too bad you couldn’t have squeezed yourself into that suitcase and gone with your dad, Calista Jo. 🙂
Oh no! Hopefully your Dad will be home soon. Mom is leaving tomorrow morning too… but she will be back Sunday. She is going to go visit our Grandma for the weekend. Dad is staying home though, so we will at least have someone. But you’re right – one less lap is just not okay. Hope your mom figures out the bird feeders!
We have been voting for Mau! He is blowing those woofies out of the water!
Concats on being featured on the Pet Parade! Very cool!
I would be frowning too Calista Jo if I were you.
I tried to vote for Mau again but it wouldn’t let me.
Awww, CJ. We hope your Mom is able to figure out how to fill up the feeders coz we don’t want to get any poutier.
Wow that’s some pawsome news Calista Jo! We are sorry you’ll be down one less lap. But we hope your Dad has a fun trip! We saw you in Rascal & Roccos blog hop! Way to go!
Heck…your dad will be home soon and you’ll wonder why you missed him when he does something strange….think of all the room in bed with mom.
We don’t like it when those funny boxes come out!
We tried voting for Mauricio again and weren’t allowed…maybe just one vote per site? But we left him a holler!
CJ, we bet your Dad is going to miss you too sweetie 🙂
Kisses to Lily Olivia from Leo
the critters in the cottage xo
We don’t understand why peeps have to leave home like they do, either. They should learn a thing or two about staying home from us kitties.
You’ll have to make that Desertin’ Daddy pay when he gets back!
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
We’re sure your Dad will miss you all while he is away watching volley ball – how will you manage with just your Mommy to look after you all.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Oh Calista Jo…don’t you worry. He’s missing all of you as well and when he comes back,there’ll be treats!!
Poor Calista Jo and other Kitties Blue…….desertion is a terrible thing…..my Mom has a habit of doing that but usually only overnight not for TEN WHOLE DAYS! I see you are leaving some kitty hair on his suitcase to remind him that he’s abandoned you all. Good thinking. I hope you enjoy using HIS side of the bed while he’s gone though. See some of you tonight at The Hop!
Hugs, Sammy
Ms Calista Jo …I feel your pain. Until my dad retired he was gone weeks at a time.The upside is however you still have mom and you haven’t been sent to “camp” while your dad is gone. I’m sure mom misses dad too. She will need more cuddle and purrs from all of you.

I hate when my peeps go outta town too.
My human’s boyfriend is out of town frequently playing shows – the only one of us cats that notices his absence is Binga.
This is such a well worded post. My heart goes out to you! Hope Dad has good time, and that you all survive, too. ~xo~
Turn that frown upside down and go jump in the bed with Mommy! Maybe there will be extra treats in it for you. **paws crossed**
Mommy hopes your Daddy has safe travels. (tulsa is just a couple hours down the road from us!)
Oh nose, that is terrible Calista Jo. Having one less human to wait on you and make sure you get the proper amount of attention is not good. But maybe your Mom will feel guilty and take up the slack. Keep giving her those looks.
Awww Kitties Blue Meow Meow, Im so sad for you. I hope mom can figure out how to fill the feeders, so you you be sadder. Wishing you the best, Purrs and Hugs Digger and Sabrina
