A Moment to Remember Mr Cat, Scott's Beloved Kitty

She passed this week at the age of 16! Very old for a Cat! She was a soft, loving kitty cat! I would say 'Go wake up your boy!' in the mornings and off she would run to leap up on Scott's bed and meow and purr and paw him until he got up! He was indeed her boy! We were lucky to have such a wonderful pet bless our lives!


Scotty and his kitty!
Beautiful 'Bunny Fur', aka Mr Cat aka Mama Kitty!
Mandy, Mr Cat, 'Bun-Bun' (Mandy's miniature bunny)
and I! Mandy is 15y , Mr Cat 1 1/2 y, I am 25!

Slouch!

Am I a slouch or what? Just phenomenally busy! I have a new job! I have been training for 3 weeks. I am going to be a computer geek/internet techie! This is SO fun! I love going to the classes...6 hrs a day plus homework! There is hardly time for anything else! My house is a disaster, Tom fixes his own meals and I just scramble! I do the laundry.... but I left the bed unmade for several days running!! Some of you know that is just unheard of!! Oh the shame!!
I love learning about this stuff so much that I do not mind!
So I will post this week for sure! Lots to tell! Halloween is upon us! The spookiest time....
