    Old Member Trace Tumblebrutus

    Trace and I and the rest of the Jellice Tribe used to be regular members here, but seem to have drifted away over the years. But for those that remember us, I just wanted you to know. Trace's life's journey ended this morning. In his many years he outlived prognosis and beat odds to the point...

    Mischief of Jellicle

    I've not been on the forum in a while, and this really isn't the way I would have chosen to post again.  Many of the older member of TCS had a fondness for Mischief, and I felt you all should know.  The new morning brought sadness to the tribe. Sometime during the night, Mischief Mistoffolees...

    Nirvana

    The Tribe's favorite blankie, laid out under a poultry-barn heating lamp.  Nirvana, kitty style.

    Cheating

    I just went through the feline version of "lipstick on the collar". At Christmas Dinner, I petted my brother's cats for a bit. Just after getting home, I offered to give Trace some scritches under the chin; he took a sniff (maybe 2), and promptly smacked the straight up dickens out of my hand. I...

    Where's the time going?

    I was doing some straightening up around the desk and came upon "the book". The book where I keep the tribe's info; and noticed that yesterday was the anniversary of Blondie Rumpleteaser coming to live here. >>9 years ago<<. I mean, the BABY...9 years ago. Which would make her 10'ish. My...

    Could an upset in the balance of power be afoot?

    I think an oh-so-subtle sedition may be going on within the tribe.  Today, Blondie Rumpleteaser, the tribe's youngest female, has gotten all up in the Diva's grill.  The Diva, Etcetera would hunker down and hiss, and Blondie would just flip her tail and saunter away.  She's done that 3 times...

    At a loss

    There is a wicked storm going on here right now, and I know it's silly, but I just have this feeling that I should be like doing something, like covering Peanut's grave or something.  She's so afraid of thunder.

    Farewell to my little Peanut

    My little deaf kitty, Peanut Butterum, left us last night.  The vet was kind enough to wait after hours for us, and we let her go sitting in the yard behind the clinic instead of inside where all the scary smells are.  Peanut was diagnosed with cancer just about 2 months ago.  It was advanced...

    Why, yes it is

    Why yes, that IS the Hobo eating peas as though they are catfood.   Does this surprise anyone?

    Pouncival

    Meet Pouncival;  Pounce for short.  When Pounce showed up about a week ago, I thought he was a new neighbor cat, as he appeared fed and healthy.  It's obvious now that he was getting more and more hungry every day.  He was in Lil' Girl's feeding house this morning, licking what little gravy was...

    Loving it while it lasts

    It is supposed to storm later today, but for right now, this moment, the weather is beautiful.  So, Skimbleshanks the Hobo is taking full advantage.  He's in the outdoor enclosure, has raked himself up a nest, and is in full "chill" mode.

    Met his match...or

    Hobo the cat sneaked onto the kitchen counter while I was on the phone, and snagged himself a frozen french fry.   Now he's in the back bedroom in his "mine, all mine" spot, with the fry on the floor.  I'm not sure if he's just perplexed as to what to do with it;  or if he's waiting for it to...

    The new family

    This is one of the young'uns from the new family at work. They have found the mulch in the landscaping makes really nice burrows, and best yet, management thinks they're cute too, so they're welcome to stay. I only had the little S95 with me, so not a lot of detail in the photos, but this lil'...

    Bad influences

    Skimbleshanks the Hobo cat has always been my boy that will eat anything, and will do whatever it takes to get it. His bestest buddy among the females is my lil' deaf kitty, Peanut Butterum. Just now, Peanut Butterum hopped up into my lap, gave me a little licky kiss, purred for a few...

    So near...

    and yet, so far... The little bird had no clue that the ever hungry Hobo Skimbleshanks lurked just beyond the partially closed blinds.
