Our smiles tonight come from Banjo and a few others as well as their benefactor who sent the St. Paddy’s day box. I realize I haven’t posted all those photos and Easter is hopping right up!

One of the things in the box was a magic tin. It had Froggies all over it. They are having a day of fun. What could be inside? Froggie treats? Lol A tin of thise tasty brown bugs that Froggie likes? 🤔

Well, the tin is nice but I’m looking for something.
View attachment 375709
The stuff at the end of the rainbow.
View attachment 375710
I’m looking but I don’t see the pot of gold. Is it in my litter box? Do I have to pan for the gold?
View attachment 375711
I see a good sign. It’s a cat, unicorn, mermaid. Part cat, frog and unicorn must be a great combination!
View attachment 375713
Let me see inside the tin pot.
View attachment 375714
Checking....
View attachment 375715
Oh my.
View attachment 375716
I think something is in here.
View attachment 375717
It’s not brown bugs.
View attachment 375718

Wow!!
View attachment 375720
Is this what I think it is?
View attachment 375721
It is!!!
View attachment 375722
Oh, I love it!
View attachment 375723
Let me touch it.
View attachment 375724
I should put this under the sofa.
View attachment 375725
Maybe I should count them.
View attachment 375726
Okay. Now....
View attachment 375727
One, two, free, four...
View attachment 375728
Internet, here I come!
View attachment 375729
I can get treats, bugs, a lion, a new pair of glasses....
View attachment 375730
Maybe I should keep the lid on this find?
View attachment 375731
I’ll mark it as mind by putting my scent on the cents. Lololol
View attachment 375732
It matches my eyes. Mine, all mine. I could start a cat sanctuary with this! I’ll do more rescues!
View attachment 375733
I think I’ll give it a hug.
View attachment 375734
I just have to look at it again.
View attachment 375735
Uh oh.
View attachment 375736
I better cover it.
View attachment 375737
What you got there Banjo?
View attachment 375738
It’s nothing Precious. Heh. But it is precious.
View attachment 375739
Nosey cat. Now he knows I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
View attachment 375740
Banjo, as your Mother, you know my opinion. Share.
View attachment 375741
Ahhhh. Okay hooman. Share. Show my Daddy first.
View attachment 375742
Look BJ! It’s Froggie gold! Maybe it was at the bottom of the swamp at one time.
So.... what good is it? Can I eat it?
View attachment 375743
Banjo, don’t be a cat hoarder. Share.
View attachment 375744
Your brother Whistle wants to see.
View attachment 375745
It came from here Whistle!
View attachment 375746
But, but..... I see big ears on the top! Scary!
View attachment 375747
Yes Whistle but these are good big ears. Lol They are sweet little bunnies having fun with Froggies! It’s okay.
View attachment 375748
Banjo, I think you can have your gold back. No one else seems to be as excited as you are about it. You’ll know the best way to use it.
View attachment 375749
Your Mother, Mitsy has some advice. Well, now it must be saved. Put it into the kitty. After all, a kitty saved is a kitty earned!
View attachment 375750
:think: So true. Cats are very wise. Especially the elder cats. :winkcat:
Wow, Banjo, you have a fortune there! What a wonderful idea to put it to the best use in helping other cats. That's what I'd do if I had a fortune, too. I think a lot of us here would agree. Maybe we could all pool our gold fortunes together and do that? It's -- ahem -- food for thought ;)
That is such a pretty tin! And look at all those toys! I'm thinking Thrasher won't want to miss out on all this fun. So she's probably turning tail as I type, to come HOME. ;):runningcat:
Jcatbird Jcatbird Pneumonia is tough. Your friend must be tougher. *PRAYERS* for continuing strength and wellbeing and recuperation.
Wishing all at Chez Catbird a very happy, relaxing and good CATurday. Hoping you get some R&R in. I know it's difficult but sometimes we just have to get some C.A.T. and know we'll come back stronger for it. *The great thing about all that stuff that's waiting for us to get done? It all waits.*😑

Jcatbird Jcatbird I am putting this up early because I will have some visitors tomorrow, so I might not be on tomorrow. Happy Easter to you and the Clowder. I extend this to those who celebrate Easter- have a good one. To everyone--- have a blessed day!

Lari Lari so sorry to hear that Belle had to be euthanized. I pray that your Aunts feel comfort during this difficult time. HUGS:heartshape:

tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 its good that the vets have services that support them
Yeah, well, they offer their lives in service, and they deserve recompense. The VA basically sucks. But a lot of vets hang together. I know a couple. They're very different in personality and lifestyle. One is really into vets' groups; the other, not at all. The second guy is pretty messed-up in some ways. But he's also very smart. Then there's another one who's genius-level and extremely creative but suffers from lifelong chemical poisoning as a result of his duty. Oh, and there's the one who came back and killed himself. So that's four. Another two, brothers, both pretty messed-up. There are a LOT of homeless vets. And vets with serious problems. But then I guess you know that. Good on ya for doing what you're doing.
Back OT, though, about feral and rescued CATS!

From the archives: Sweet angel Maryam, shortly after I adopted her. I'll never know her history, but from the time she joined us, she was LOVED, and always will be.

I wish that our vets were better taken care of. It breaks my heart seeing homeless vets and vets being treated poorly at the VA. What a shame! BTW Maryam is a cutie!

Thank you. She was absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah, I hear ya. It gets progressively worse, too. The horror stories these guys DO tell are bad enough. The ones they DON'T tell...well, I know there's the educational and the financial incentive to join, beyond the personal reasons some people have. But IMHO nothing could be worth what a lot of them go through -- and that's just once they get back home. Use them up and dump them on the streets.

The last line you wrote sums it up and I find it very infuriating.😠 Our country needs to do better for their vets. I pray for our vets. Some of them needs all the help they can get.

Well, the hungry 🐯s are at the door demanding their din din, so off I go. Heaven forbid, I had a sick day. That wouldn't go over well. I will come back on the site later. 🙂

There truly is nothing new under the sun when it comes to veterans. For evidence, read Kipling's 'Tommy', written in 1890.

Lari Lari , my post for Bella went away when the site went down, so I repeat, "Rest you gentle, Bella, dream you deep. Your pawprints are on more hearts than ever you knew existed."

BOY did I lose a lot of posts! AND PURRAISES! My finger is getting sore from hitting the purraise button over and over again!

Jcatbird Jcatbird ...any good news? PLEASE? SOMETHING???

Well, hi everyone! I am so very glad to see everyone back. It is a bit like the Twilight Zone when things vanish. I am re purraising. Deja Vu. Lol Noticing some missing things but thanks to Anne Anne and Scott, the family reunion is on!
Bravo to them for bringing us all back again! Amazing considering all I heard and read.
I wish I was coming back with Thrasher. Not a sign of her. While we were down I used every moment to scour the swamp and stake out the area during feral cat hours. I’m still doing that at dawn, dusk and again in the wee hours. In between I have been building shelters, the catio kit and searching for materials to build more safe sanctuaries. It’s been a long hunt all the way around. I still have to do a bit of alterations to the catio kit but it is in place next to the cat room window in the hope that Thrasher will begin to investigate it if she is near.
I have a friend taking me in to the city tomorrow. Getting Thrashers photo spread around, I did that while searching for building materials too. Much to catch up on but I have a doc appointment too so we’ll catch up more tomorrow.
I hope everyone is well and please know how much I appreciate everyone here. Thank you for keeping Thrasher in your hearts.:grouphug2:The past few days are a great lesson for us all. Never give up on anything that counts. I’m very glad we are all reunited and back to helping the kitties of the world again.

Lari Lari Just so you know, if you google your threads you may find some of your photos even if the site is not functioning. Maybe text too. Not sure. You can input the Catsite and then your ID or thread name. I know many of our things are there. Still, backing up everything is a good idea. ;)
