Long Neck Sunday Selfie

 

Good selfie, but it could also be our Pet Photo Fail because Mum's hair got in the way and my neck looks like a giraffe's!

Anyway, today I'm taking care of Mum as she remembers her other soulmate kitty, Suzy, who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in 1998. Mum got her as a tiny kitty back in 1985.

Give my mum a visit on Purrs Full of Love to read more about beautiful, sweet Suzy. I know it's not right to feel jealous on a day like today, and of course I don't. My mum has a big heart when it comes to animals. Suzy looks like a sweet kitty. I'm glad she made my mum happy.

Here's one pic of Suzy.

1. The grossest food I ever ate was meat. I went veggie when I was 18 and was healthy I thought but  I became anaemic at 36 because of my inherited blood disorder and probably the boozing I had done for years before that, not because of what I ate. But I got scared and had everyone telling me to eat meat so I gave in. When you anaemic you feel light headed and tired all the time. I panicked I would faint so I started eating lamb's liver and chicken. I feel sick now thinking about it as a vegan (since 2014). 
2. The best tasting food I ever had was a lentil and cheese bake that I make myself.
3. I should probably give up chocolate, but I won’t. I can't drink alcohol anymore so what else do I have?
4. If I could have an unlimited supply of one item, I would pick chocolate and cat food. I'd hate to run out of Athena's cat food, which I buy online and it's from Germany. Only good quality food for Athena!

Athena

1. The grossest food I ever ate was some renal food the vet told Mum to give me. It was crap. Mum found Kattovit, much better!
2. The best tasting food I ever had was boiled chicken. I can't get enough! 
3. I should probably not eat so much, but I won’t.
4. If I could have an unlimited supply of one item, I would pick chicken.

Behind Every Great Person, There is a Great Cat #wednesdaywisdom

Mum wants to thank you all for your kind comments on our recent posts. She's read each and every one and will slowly be getting back to visiting your blogs again. She is grateful to have so many understanding friends and your words of encouragement make her realise she can't give up blogging. It's the only thing that keeps her going, and my beautiful little face and purrs and kisses of course. 

As you know, she runs this blog and Purrs Full of Love and then there is all the social networking to keep up with that I think she's exhausted herself. 

I told her to take it easy, her health is more important.

I love my mum. She's great. 

And why is she so great? 

Well, I'm a great cat of course! 

And because she helps a lot of rescue animals and wants to continue that. 

Every thing else can wait. 

Live in the moment, Mum. Don't worry about the future. 😽💕🐾

Healing Purrs Can Heal the Pain #wednesdaywisdom

Here I am trying to make my mum smile after she heard about George Michael's passing on Christmas Day. Actually, it was night here in England when the news broke, just as we were going to bed. She had been feeling pretty uneasy all day, too many thoughts playing on her mind. That's my mum, she thinks too much! But who knows? Maybe she sensed the bad news that was coming later? 

She had checked Twitter just before going upstairs to bed. She had been concerned about another legend from her youth, Carrie Fisher, who had suffered a heart attack and had been in intensive care for a few days.

But instead the first tweet Mum saw was a tweet stating that George Michael had passed away in his sleep earlier that day. Deeply shocked and saddened, understandably, Mum couldn't sleep. I didn't want her to drink more than she had already done that day, which was only a couple of glasses of wine (Mum really doesn't drink much booze because she once had a problem with it.) In the pic above I am being extra cute and lovable because I could clearly see she wasn't calm enough to sleep.

George Michael

Mum was 16 when she first became a fan of George and Wham, so he had been a part of her life for many years - inspiring her to sing and to write songs. She went to many of his gigs. It was her life back then - music, music, music! Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Paul Young, who with George Michael, were her fave artists back then. Until she discovered rock and metal that is... But that's another story. But Mum is a true music fan and is no music snob so she is proud of her eclectic taste and the wonderful music that had helped her escape during the difficult times growing up.

George was a sensitive, caring soul and so talented as a singer-songwriter.  He was also extremely generous and donated so much of his fortune to charity. And he was an animal lover too. His last public act was to offer his support to the Blue Cross campaign regarding puppy farms.

We listened to Mum's favourite George Michael CD yesterday - Listen Without Prejudice. The following two songs were hauntingly beautiful.

#GM had a voice that would transport u, he was the finest singer/songwriter of his generation & has left the best of himself 4 us. RIP GM xx pic.twitter.com/Gjcp55Chei

Carrie Fisher

So yesterday Mum was shocked to hear about the passing of another of her childhood icons - the lovely Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia in Star Wars. Carrie wasn't just Leia, but also a talented writer. And a very funny lady with a dog that apparently doesn't like cats. Never mind, I can forgive him for that. Mum and I feel devastated for him, little Gary who has lost his Mum 💜

Saddest tweets to tweet. Mommy is gone. I love you @carrieffisher

Mum tells me that a long time ago (not in a galaxy far away), when she was 11 or 12, she was a big Star Wars fan. She used to dress up as Princess Leia and act out scenes from the film. Unfortunately, we have no photographic evidence to share.

Mum says she was bullied at school for liking this brilliant film. Not by boys, but girls. Ha! Let me scratch their eyes out now!

How dare you laugh at my mum for having such a vivid imagination and daring to be different. Mum has never been a sheep... Where are you sheep now, I wonder?

But Mum does have fond memories of her childhood whenever she thinks of Star Wars and it will always remain one of her favourite films of all time. 

Carrie was also an animal lover and advocate. A few months before she died she protested with other campaigners in London to end the dog meat trade and handed in a petition signed by 11 million, urging the Chinese authorities to end the Yulin massacre.

Such a sad loss of two beautiful souls.

Rest in Peace

Sunday Selfie

HAPPY SUNDAY!

Tried to take a selfie for The Cat On My Head's Sunday Selfies blog hop and it went wrong first try. 

So I tried again but my ear got twitchy as it was picking up some outdoor noise and so I got distracted (summer is far too noisy!)

For those of you who do not have an Instagram account. or who don't follow me on there (why not?), here's another cute video of me making biscuits on Mum's cardigan.

I love Mummy #catsoftwitter #tabbycatsofinstagram #caturday #cats #catlife #purring #makingbiscuits

Sunday Selfie

HAPPY SUNDAY!

... and Happy Father's Day to all you cat daddies out there!

Here's a pic of my mum and her dad in the late 1960s (before selfies were invented).Yes, Mum's dad was Elvis! (Only joking)

Little Mummy with her Daddy

The pic makes Mum nostalgic and sad. Her daddy passed away almost 6 years ago now, before I came into her life. Before I was even born, actually. Today I am sending lots of healing purrs to my Mum and to everyone whose daddies have passed on (both animals and non-human). Remember, they will always be with you. The soul never dies xx

You can see more photos of Mum and her dad today on her other blog

Some healing purrs for those who may be missing their father today xx

Sunday Selfie

HAPPY SUNDAY!

I am taking it easy on mum's lap today (that's if she can sit still for long enough).

Why are humans always rushing around? She says she's busy but I can see how stressed she gets. She has a lot of worries about the house move. She hates that it's taking so long and being stuck in a chain. Like most people, she finds it frustrating. All I can do is offer her lots of love and healing purrs. 

Do you like to sleep on your human's lap? Is your human always stressed?

Maybe some of you haven't seen this video of me before so I'm sharing it again! Hear my healing purrs!

Wordless Wednesday

While I tuck into my lunch why don't you have a peek at my purring new video? 

Caturday Art

Happy Caturday! 

Keeping it simple this week. All Mum did was add the chromatic effect on BeFunky and then chose a grunge frame as a final touch.

We also have a new video for you today. Just listen to my purrs full of love!
If you can't see the video below you can watch it on YouTube instead.

Wordless Wednesday

Not quite wordless, just sharing some recent photos of my mum and me.

For those that don't know, my mum is a writer and has her own cat blog . It's a blog about cats mainly but also the welfare of all animals as well as sharing her pet photography (well, photos of me mainly). She's all new to photography so she uses me to practice on and she says I am the purrfect model. I have to agree!

She writes articles about cats and animal welfare too. 

Check out her latest articles HERE and HERE

And while you are there why not choose to follow her blog? As it's quite a new blog she needs all the followers she can get!

HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY!
