Whiskers Wednesday and Remembering Granddad

tabby cat

I'm giving extra purrs, cuddles, and snuggles to Mum today as she remembers her dad who passed exactly 10 years ago.

I never knew him as I wasn't born when he was alive. Mum was deeply depressed after he died and was still grieving when she adopted me months later in July 2011. I was about 10 and a half weeks old by then. She rescued me and I rescued her right back. You can read about it in Mum's memoir, The Cat Years: How My Cat Soulmates Saved Me.

Athena and her human Mum




Here is a chubby baby Mum with her parents taken a very long time ago in the late 1960s.

We never knew our mom's dad either. She misses him a lot and talks to us about him and how much he would love us if he was here. Give your mom extra loving today.

Hugs and purrs on this remembrance day.
When we lost Angel earlier this year, she was the last link to my father, who died when Angel and her brofur Chuck were in utero. She was named Angel for my father.
Not that he really liked animals; he had six children...we were enough hustle and bustle!!!

Such a cutie pie pic of you & your kitty! They're so lovable, but sorry I'm a dog person. I have a Lab that's half brown & half black. He's lovable also. We really lucked out with animals. We have had four dogs so far in the past 30 yrs. since hubby & I have been together and they were all so good to us & for us. All of them were black labs except this one. Our Charlie. He's kind of half & half. His mom must've been brown & daddy black. He's a good dog & that's all that matters. Plus he gets along with other animals too! Have a great day & thanks for stopping by! hugs and be healthy and safe! hugs Thanks for stoppin by!

Athena, mom understands how your mum feels. She feels the same way regarding her own Dad when that time comes round. XX to you both.
