Mancat Monday and Purrs

First, we have to say goodbye to a wonderful friend. Jake was one of the first catbloggers we read. He got cancer, and his momma gave him a wonderful gift. She helped him to the Rainbow Bridge so he wouldn't be in pain anymore. Jake, we will miss you. Say "Hi" to Tiki for us. We will meet again at the Bridge

Also to all the cats (and everyone else) in Australia, we are sending purrs your way. We hope all of our friends are safe. We are so sad to hear about the many people and animals that have lost their lives and homes.

Meezer Memory Monday

We are reposting on of Mom's favorite pictures of Tiki and me. We are a little bit sad this weekend because Tiki has been gone from us for a month.

In other news, Mom's friend has not had to evacuate and it looks hopeful that she won't. The fire is spreading north, and she lives south of it/them. She is about 3 miles from what they are now calling the Triange Fire - but which started out as the Yorba Linda/Corona Fire. Distance wise, Mom says it is pretty close - about 10 miles or so (as the crow flies) but by car, it is about 20-25 miles. We are hopeful that the fire will continue to spread to the less populated areas and that the fire fighters will be able to get some containment of it established soon.

As for all of us eating out of the same dish, we seem to be the exception. Mom started that when she brought Tiki and me home. We were so little and so close that she gave us one bowl of food and we would stick both of our heads in and eat. As Dharma, Cody and now Miss Jade have joined the family, they also got to share. Mom did feed Miss Jade out of her own bowl for a few months, but she just kept sticking her nose in our food, so Mom gave up and let her eat with us too.

We're Okay

Hi, we wanted to let everyone know that the fires aren't close enough to us at this time to do more than make the air stinky and ash to fall from the sky.

Mom has a friend that is only about 5 miles away from the fires, and she is in between 2 of them. Mom went over there tonight to help her get everything together that she would need and pack up the car. The only thing Mom's friend has to do is grab her purse, keys, and The Interloper and get in the car. Mom says hopefully it won't come to that, but if it does, she said we can expect the interloper to come here to stay with us for a while with her mom.

We are sending out purrs to all of the people who did loose their homes in the last couple of days, and are purring extra hard that the weather will start to cooperate and the winds will die down and it will get cooler. That will help the firefighters do their job as well.
