 Hello!  Mom promised me I could introduce the brats.   OOPs, sorry Mom.  The kittens. They were born on April 8 2024 and came to us on July 8th.


This was Socks.   Mom kept calling her Spot! 



This was Purril.

Mom never got her name right! Then she was Whisper because she was just a tiny whisper of a cat.


Mom came in from a sewing class and declared, I know who you are!

 

She picked up Socks/Spot and told her, her new name is COCO.

Then she picked up Purril/Whisper and told her her name is YUMYUM

 

We thought she was crazy until she explained where the names came from!

Author Lilian Jackson Braun  wrote 29 books that the titles all started out, THE CAT WHO.

The Siamese cats in the books were Coco and YumYum.

Mom either read or listened to all of the books, several times.


It took me about a month to decide if I liked them or not. Don't tell Mom, but I do like them. 

We have sniffed each other all over, cuddled together, and played together.  Mom insisted that they were girl kittens because, the only male cat I loved was Wizard and I tolerated Kirby.

 

Mom finally got cuddle Lap kitties! I have never been a cuddlier or lap kitty! That was Wizards game.  Even after 16 years, I will only stand on the couch or bed and beg for pats!  I always get them too.   These silly kittens will crawl up on her chest and lay down.  There are times she wanted to get up and do things, but sis not want to disturb a kitten.


During this time our Dad got really ill.  On the 26th, He crossed the rainbow bridge to find Wizard, Mac, Max and Kirby and a whole lot of others.

We will write more about these monkeys later,

Happy Birthday Angel

 We don't know her actual birthday but we chose this day for her.  She is 16 today.  She is still going strong and still a little shy.  She will never be a lapcat or a cuddle cat, but she is very affectionate.  She lays on the foot of the bed and stands by me on the couch or bed and begs for pats and scratches.


Since she has lost four brothers we felt she needed some female companions.  Enter Coco and Yumyum.

Max

 


3/12/2024


His bags were packed and he was ready to go.  He ask me to get him a ticket on the 4 p.m.  express.  We took him to the station and saw him off.   

 

We know Kirby was waiting for him with all that went before and many friends from the blog world.

 He was 13 years old.

Rest in Peace sweet boy.  We love you and miss you.
