We had company today. Our dear friend , more like my sister to me, has not been here in awhile but she knows and loves all the kitties and has known them a very long time. The minute she entered the door a herd of kitties bounded through the house. Lol The foyer was like a funnel of cats heading towards her. She was tickled that they were so excited to see her again. Here is just a small sample of the cat reactions.

The minute she sat down, Lady greeted her. I know you!

That started the mass greeting.

Dolly sang for her.

And gave kisses. Lol

I know this Lady as my friend!

Kodiak gave such an adoring look!

This lady is one of the ones who helped me. I will never forget!
03BA249B-80A6-4472-9D34-C1BB1C843FB9.jpeg

She loves me.
021C20FB-2790-4F46-9B87-5C9888B19D43.jpeg

I love her too.

Mackie had chatted with her through the whole visit and given lots of head butt’s as well as told her some of his newest jokes. Then her beautiful long skirt got his attention.

Rats. I’ve been discovered. I was trying to be an undercover stowaway.

Maybe I can leave undetected.

Is anyone besides Mackie watching? Yep! Uh oh.

I’m just giving a leg massage.

The ladies love to get a leg massage.

Bj found another lady?

How does he win them all?
62E09ABB-5642-4975-A4FC-04F60A3B4860.jpeg

Later, our friend had to leave.

Don’t go!
F1907EBE-F6FA-4993-9C93-F127BAE7EC9C.jpeg

If you stay, I will give you kisses!
4D686054-3108-43EA-A6F8-390B67B59BA5.jpeg

I can keep rubbing your legs too!
3A586E78-D887-49B6-9CFD-23FC0FD07BB5.jpeg

Bj! She has to leave now. Lol Sorry buddy but she’ll come back again sometime.
ACD81B04-4AE8-4B22-B14C-C26F5ECCE32A.jpeg

She’s still my lady though, right?
D237F134-8002-45B1-824B-D0945C4EE147.jpeg

Bye friend! We love you!

The cats at Chez Catbird left our friend laughing and feeling very loved.

We are at the vet. Smokey is having some trouble. Hoping it’s something we can treat. She drove so....View attachment 385671
Oh my I’ve been thinking of Smokey the last couple of days and here we are. I’m sorry to here of the troubles and we are all sending human and cat hugs here.
Lots to catch up on. What a lovely vet you have. I had a cat today named Smokey at the shelter.
Thinking of you all. Half asleep here so will catch up tomorrow. :redheartpump::hearthrob:

I'll take all the ice cream
You take all my dessert. 🍰 I'll take your pineapple tomatoey pizza, with hot sauce on it. 🍕🍅🌶🍍

rutabagas?👎
Root veggie french fries are so good. Yum yum. 👍

find something more than we ever dreamed.
That would be a nice surprise! I have a lot of dreams. We'll see what happens... :cloud9:

Maybe someone has already said that about you.
Well I have survived a lot. Does that count towards accomplishing? :think:

Home made ice cream rocks!
Ha! You sound just like my music man friend. To him everything "rocks". Must be a generational word? I don't use it. :)

The minute she entered the door a herd of kitties bounded through the house.
Wow, wish you could teach Maggie & Demi to be that friendly with human visitors. 😲

The minute she sat down, Lady greeted her.
Ummm...Unhand my Lady please. She's my kitty...:nono:

The ladies love to get a leg massage.
Once a Romeo, always a Romeo. :headshake:👑

Bye friend! We love you!
Doesn't Banjo just melt your heart sometimes? No wonder she gets away with so much...💘

M maggiedemi You're playing my song. Pineapple/jalapeno pizza, please. Let's get a mega. Whether it rocks or not. I could try some rutabaga fries, having been raised on fried everything. I do love sweet potato fries. You? Boiled, though, rutabaga tastes like dirt IMHO.
Jcatbird Jcatbird Awwww! Looks like BJ and the crew wanted your friend (and theirs!) to stay awhile longer. She does have a beautiful skirt! Hoping you all had a really great visit. When the furmily was larger and meal time was nigh, I used to say there was a river of cats. With the cattails, y'understand. And when they thundered through the house, they sounded like a herd of buffalos.
I'll be happy to take any unwanted pineapple off anyone's hands, and give up my rutabaga.

I'd do 'em, but someone else is gonna get the beets because I do not, will not, cannot, and will never eat anything that color.
Actually, the color is the only thing I generally like about them. Most people I know just boil them into submission.

I checked in just in time for beets! I love them.

I wrap them (fresh ones) in foil with some butter and bake them awhile. Then put more butter on, or a bit of mayo. :yummy:

I’m going to ask everyone to carry on the conversation just as it was going after I post this. I expect to have someone here as a guest and there is something I want to post for them to hear when they come. Last night a friend I have mentioned here many times over the years left to go and do something very important for me that he did many times in the past. He is going to take care of Sarah. This is a tune that they often shared as they danced among the kitties and I hope his family will find it here. I thank them all for including us so closely in their lives. My heart is with you.

Please forgive me if I don’t respond about all the yummy foods. I have not had supper but I am going for that the instant I share some photos. I can’t help but think about how love moves into our lives just when we least expect it. Today was not a day I was expecting to do anything like this but who can predict what might come each day? No names at this point and I must post signs around the neighborhood. I hope to find their family. For now, they are lodged at Pawpurr’s house. They do have a story but that must wait for tonight. It has been a very long day.

Red color? Or because it's so dark, almost poo colored? :lol:

That sounds good. I've never cooked fresh beets. :think:

He is going to take care of Sarah.
Sorry about your friend passing. Hopefully he & Sarah can have some more adventures together now. :hugs:

Yes, may we all receive love when we most need it. :grouphug:

who can predict what might come each day
That sounds kind of exciting! 👍

For now, they are lodged at Pawpurr’s house.
Maybe your friend sent them to distract from the sadness? It's possible....☀✨

They do have a story but that must wait for tonight.
Can't wait to hear your story, as usual. 📖

I had never heard that song before but it is so beautiful I have tears running down my face. I listened to an a capella version by Sheryl Crow afterwards and heard the lyrics. That's so deep. Country and a lot of gospel influence. I always thought she was a rock performer so didn't ever pay attention to her. What a gorgeous song.
May your friend be safe in Perfect Love as he joins your beloved Sarah.
Two adorable little ones. The one who is all brown is so reminiscent physically of our beloved angel Samuda when he first joined us as a teenage boy after being scooped up by my ex on our way home from a restaurant. We saw him loping along behind a couple walking on the street and he asked them if he was theirs. They said no. He came home with us. No words can express how very special he was (and will ever be).
*PRAYERS* and love, my friend.
M maggiedemi Beets? They're dark, dark purplish-red. Kind of a nightmare of a color IMHO. And my oldest friend's family used to eat borscht, which is beet soup. I took one look at that and knew it was never, ever, going to cross my lips.
