Cats on Tuesday

It is cold and rainy the last days. I bought the spring flower bulb on the windowsill in December 29th and now it flowers. Curious Olli wants to know what it is but he don´t like the wonderful smell. It is not good like cat nip It´s only good for humans with winter depressions.
Rainy days in January are always good for clean ups. I found that old picture in the kids room. It shows our now 11 years old boy with our former cat Dixie in 1998. We found Dixie in a animal shelter in Bremen in 1995. She was 5 years old stray cat. Our oldest son Max was four when he wished to have a cat and found Dixie on a walk through the shelter.
Dixie was killed by a car in February 2004. Dixie was a good girl but she was not the nicest cat. If we cuddle her too long she has always scratched or bitten us
Here you can see Frieda in January 2007 playing in the snow. She has some commonalities with Dixie. Frieda was also an stray cat and she was killed by a car too last summer. Frieda was a very nice cat. She has never scratched or bitten.
Here you can see Luna and Frieda on the bench. I love this picture because it is not possible with our cats now.
Here is Luzie on her bench nap place. I took the picture yesterday. She would never tolerate another cat near her on the bench.
*Happy Tuesday*

This is a great post collecting all the cats together.
I hope the weather could be better,
or it will be really cold.
Thanks for everything that these lovely young cat lives could be with us~! Make our life become more special and happier.

Rosie too suddenly scratches and bites, not me anymore because in a reflex I had given her quite a hard slap ! But poor Mr. Gattino ....

Meine erste Katze war auch eine ordentliche Kratzbürste. Beißen und Kratzen war bei ihr total normal. Besonders am Bauch kraulen konnte sie überhaupt nicht leiden.

The PM can almost smell those blooms through the screen. So lovely.

That is a great photo of Luna and Frieda on the bench. So cosy!

Too many of our friends have gone to the Bridge due to those horrid four wheeled beasts. We are glad we live in a very secluded spot.

So nice of you to remember those
kitties who went over the bridge.
No doubt you are a cat enthusiast,
who enjoys kitties just like me.
Happy Tuesday sweet Luna!

That's a nice post with all the cuddly pictures. You've inspired me to get cuddly and take a nap!

Thank you for sharing Dixie and Frieda's stories with us. They were such lovely cats.

We don't like the smell of hyacinths either!

It was nice getting to know your furried family a bit better. Cars are a horrible threat!
Mom wonders if we would leave hyacinths alone. She is really suffering because we destroy all her indoor plants and it is such a long way 'til Spring. But there's the first snowdrop blooming outside!!!

Did you make the candle in the window next to the beautiful smelling white flower...with the kitties on it?

Anonym hat gesagt…

on noes! So many furry babies lost to horrible machines :(

This is why My momma never lets us outside, she only walks us on a leash so she knows we is safe at all times.
Are you guys kept inside now after what happened to all your siblings? :)
