Thankful Thursday - BoSoxAmy and Seabasscat

last Thursday the apartment building that Amy, Lee, Sebastiancat, and DottieGP live in burnt to the ground. they were able to save the anipals, but that is all. I am SO thankful for this.

Anipals all over the world are joining together to help them piece their world back together. I am thankful for all the love and kindness from our anipal friends.

Lee is a great cook. We are collecting recipes for him. Amy is an avid read and lost her entire JANET EVANOVICH collection. Sebastian's needs are being taken of my all of his kitty friends.

Mom is a quilter and is coordinating a signature quilt from all their friends on twitter and bloggers. Amy says their bedroom will be purple. Mom has found a great batik which encompasses most purple tones and shades. It will be composed of signature and 9 patch blocks and it will be professionally quilted by a longarm machine quilter. I will also get it appraised for insurance purposes.

Anyone who wants a square already made to sign, contact @LeoPussMan on twitter or Leo Puss man on facebook. You can also let me know, maggietkat at yahoo.com. the light colored block in the middle is where you sign. You can sign blocks for you and your human.

If you like to sew, there will be blocks for you to try your hand. You can sew together the signature block or the 9 patch block. You can sew as many as you like!!!!! Again contact Leo puss man or myself.

If you would like to contribute toward the fabric, batting, and quilting, you can paypal me. Please dm me @maggietkat or email at the above yahoo address. I anticipate the fabric will be about $200, batting $15-20, and the quilting about $200. the appraisal is only $35.

thanks to all who send their heartfelt support to Amy and Lee.

Love to you all,

Maggie

Wordless Wednesday

Parker in suitcase - classic!

#readpawty reminder

One of the best cat related books I have ever read is "The Confessions of a Catnip Junkie" by Allan Goldstein. However, this isn't a book about a cat. It is about a journey one makes to find himself told by a cat. One reviewer compared it to "Wizard of Oz", but I found it more like "On the Road" or "Dharma bums".

We will be discussing the book at Mon the 20th #readpawty. You can find my review at the AnipalTimes. Read the book, indulge in your favorite jones (catnip, chocolate, wine, etc.) and judge for yourself. I guarantee you will laugh yourself silly at times. Hope to see you there!

Cranking

Well, I was on mom's lap the other night, and who should come up from the other side but Parker! Luckily I was to snoozy to tell him what for. So, here we are, all 32 pounds of cat on mom's lap. thank goodness she has a big one, um, lap that is!

Of course, Mom won't be anywhere without her iPawd. And, Dad took the picture. He's not the best with cameras, but we tolerate him anyway.

Thwocking on Wordless Wednesday

Summer of 2011; Parker is 1.5 years old and about 18 pounds. I weigh 12 pounds. Is this fair?

Semi thankful Thursday

Well, mom is off to puerto Vallarta Mexico! Yay mom! Maybe she will come home al relaxed and will quit the smooching on our heads. (Secret-we rough up the tops of our heads so there are lots of loose cat hairs for her to inhale!). That is the good thing.

We are glad to have funny sweet neighbors who take care of us. Frank rogh houses with Parker, also know as Bob due to his ear tips. That takes pressure off me to be Parker's target. The wife is ditzy, and we try to get 2 meals out of her, but he don't try too hard cuz she brushes us.

We miss mom, and even DA DOG and Dad. we will be thankful when she is back on Saturday.

thankful thursday

I am glad mom has friends. she has been driving us nuts with the holding and pettin, and she has even taken to smooching the top of our heads. So, we are very glad when she can talk to Auntie Dee and her BlogPaw friends and her professor friends.

These fine humans have given her the strength to talk to her director about rearranging the department so she no longer reports to the Man of Torture. So, things will become moe interesting for her, and maybe she won't mope around the house so much.

Thank you, Mom's Human Friends! It took all of Twitter to give her strentgh.
