My Feral And Rescued Cats

[dustydiamond1]

Wrapping up early tonight, guys...I have to be up at 4AM to get ready for transport to the hospital in New Bern for my ablation. CROSS YOUR PAWS! NOT guaranteeing that I'll get online tomorrow. Will try.

Lol Greeting cards would be fun too though! Hmmm. What would they say?

Something is fishy. I haven’t heard from you lately!
Just thought I would drop you a line to Cat ch up.

That's a good one. You should look at the home made products on Etsy. It could be good for making a little extra cash. My sister has a friend that use to sell Soy Candles on Etsy. She made pretty good money. Hey you never know, what you just think is a hobby, could make you a few bucks online. Anyway just something to think about. I hope you are doing well today. All the best to you and everyone at Chez Catbird.

I thought I would post some photos from days past. I came across them and thought they would make for a bright day.

Anthuriums.

An actual “Cockle shell!” Lol That is a nichname. It is an Encycl

Psychopsis orchid

Swallowtail butterfly

Lady Slipper

Paphiopedilum or Lady Slipper. This one smells like strawberries.

Cattleya orchid

I know the top looks a little like a butterfly but it is a Lady’s Slipper orchid.

Phalaeonopsis orchid

Angel wing begonia.

Angel wings for our friends.

Last of all, a butterfly and cat paw print.

 

[Jcatbird]

Whenallhellbreakslose Thank you! You are right that a hobby can turn into something bigger. I once started making miniature orchid sculptures as sort of a joke. Many thousands later…. Lol We are okay. Hope you and all there are well too.

Today was cat relax day around here. Lol

Kodiak? Lol

Dolly?

Too lazy to even investigate a box? Lol

Whistle?

Smokey?

Bonjour?

Little pink tongue!

Flowers?

Day dreaming?

Precious and Whistle!

Well, the Muffin has risen!

Snoring in harmony with Lady.

Lazy, hazy Cat days of summer.

Lovely blooms and nice orchids. Nice shots and also lovely butterfly. The last one must be wondering to itself, ‘I’m sure I don’t have such big foot print!’

 

[BellaGooch]

Oh, Banjo! You’re too smart.

Paws crossed and prayers said for Mamanyt1953 prayers said and paws crossed!

Beautiful photos, especially of the butterfly!
Looks like a wonderful relaxing day at the Chez Catbird Clowder. Speaking of, where does the Chez in that name come from? (or am I just missing something? )

And you have such a gift for art! I’d love to see some whenever you want to share more!

I have to be up at 4AM to get ready for transport to the hospital in New Bern for my ablation.

I have no idea what an ablation is, but good luck & safe returns!

Cat nap Hooman? Good. Let me use you as a bed.

Demi won't use me as a bed now that I took away his blankie. I read that they are not supposed to suck on blankets?

There are lots of options. Coffee could work for you! Cheese too? Lol

Did you mean yummy cheese to eat, or laughter from your cheesy jokes? Laughter is the best medicine?

That went to a friend of hers from when she was very young. They are far, far away but have held a place in their heart for Banjo and Whistle

Oh, I thought maybe Banjo finally had a romantic love interest.

I find that coffee helps me in many situations. Lol I choose that option a lot lately.

I thought you had to give up coffee on your diet? That's good news. If you want me to visit, gotta have the coffee!

I once started making miniature orchid sculptures as sort of a joke. Many thousands later

I read that as many thousands of years later. You're not that old....

the Muffin has risen!

I'm not really into baked goods, but I'll take that one. Wrap it up for me please.

Snoring in harmony with Lady.

Those blankets look so cozy! And clean! Subliminal message?

Speaking of, where does the Chez in that name come from?

I think it means House? In Spanish maybe?

 

[tabbytom]

Midweek Cat Pawverb
(A little early, just in case I forget again )

 

[Lari]

I think it means House? In Spanish maybe?

It's French! It means your place basically (the word for house itself is maison). So "chez la boulangerie" would be "at the baker's place" for example.

That is great to hear! See, something you thought was nothing special turned into something you end up making money on. You sound like you are very artistic. Who knows what other things you could do.

Love, love, love the pics of the stunning flowers and the pics of your kitties. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, good news. Remember my aunts who lost their cat back in April? They were able to adopt a pair of rescused bonded kitten siblings! I'm so happy for them!

Aw, that’s wonderful!!!

 

[Jcatbird]

tabbytom You mean that wasn’t the butterflies footprint! Ohhhh. That’s right. That was from when it was a Cat erpillar.

Great Pawverb! Every good home should have a cat! What a waste if a good home doesn’t have one.

BellaGooch As you may have seen in the photos, this was marked on the front steps, long before I came here, as a house for all cats. A paw print by the butterfly was the fist thing I noticed after coming up to see the house. Obviously the good cat keeping seal of approval. Lol
Glad you enjoyed the photos and art. I love making all kinds of things. I’ll be happy to show you more. If you watch the background behind the kitties, something is always lurking nearby. Sing out if you want to see something more clearly. Of course, it might have been done by Banjo. Lol

M maggiedemi Either cheese is good! Lol

What? Don’t forget Froggie! Banjo will never betray her true Prince.

Muffin is the finest of and nature baked treat. Lol

Lots of blankets here. Coffee too. It wouldn’t matter if I can or cannot have it. Hospitality!

Lots of kitties suckle things. I think the risk is ingesting anything from it but it’s hard to get them to stop.

Lari Yes. In this case I think it is catspeak for, it is the place of cats. Lol They definitely owned it long before I got here and they only allow me a spot. They are very kind.
Please tell you Aunts that we all send live and thanks to them for saving two kitties! Congratulations and welcome to the fur babies! That is wondeful

Whenallhellbreakslose So glad you enjoy things here. You know, my sense of humor has gotten me into all kinds of things. Lol I’ll see if I can find a picture somewhere of some of the miniatures. That joke took me a verrrry long way. I met someone in another country once. Later when I was visiting and entered her kitchen, I found her windowsill lined with miniatures. Yep! She didn’t realize that she had bought them from someone she would meet years later. I have her miniatures after that. Lol

Mamanyt1953 Just want you to know that you are on our minds.

 

[Jcatbird]

How do you play a Banjo? She is always playing tricks on me. Can I play one on her? What will she do?


Look what I brought Banjo! Three frogs!

They hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil. Can you get them to join you in your joy rides, tricks and internet purchases?

If they like fun and bugs they will join me!
How about it Froggies? Want bugs?

Ahahahahaha! They said yes!

Well, maybe you didn’t hear them but I did!

Come on and join me with my Prince. He can show you everything!

Just sit and wait.

He will teach you to see, hear and sing!

Dear Banjo…

I am quite sure you won again!

I have been played BY a Banjo. A happy time too!

 

[tabbytom]

You mean that wasn’t the butterflies footprint! Ohhhh. That’s right. That was from when it was a Cat erpillar.

Yes, you are very right! Footprints of a Cat erpillar

 

[maggiedemi]

It's French! It means your place basically

French, of course! I remember Casa is Spanish for house. Casa de los Gatos?

my aunts who lost their cat back in April? They were able to adopt a pair of rescued bonded kitten siblings

I like that ending...or beginning...

Obviously the good cat keeping seal of approval.

Well...I have to admit, you're improving. That wasn't quite so cheesy.

What? Don’t forget Froggie! Banjo will never betray her true Prince

OMG. How could I have forgotten Froggie?!!

Muffin is the finest of and nature baked treat.

Awww, I love that. My Muffin is a nature baked treat. (((Hugs the Muffin cake.)))

Lots of blankets here. Coffee too. It wouldn’t matter if I can or cannot have it. Hospitality!

Sounds like heaven. Cats, Coffee, and Clean. All my favorite things. Got hot sauce/peppers too?

we all send live

Freudian slip again?...Can you send some of that "live" here?

I am quite sure you won again!

Banjo always wins! She should teach an online course on winning in life.
