The weather has turned ugly, to say the least. Two days ago I was out for a walk with mom, Yesterday It snowed and snowed….all you could see out the window was white. Over night the weather cooled down to -30C….-22F. Yumpin yimminy, it was cold but I was snuggled up with mom and Kali so I didn’t care.
This afternoon I went out on the deck to take a look around….lordy me, its a new back yard.. Gone are the veggie and flower gardens. Instead all this white stuff, mom calls snow is everywhere. Yuck!!
I walked out sniffed the snow shovel for effect…in other words..,”Shovel around here so I can walk about, will ya….geez”.
So where was Kali while I was bravely out in the elements of our white world. Why she felt a little chilled inside.
After warming up from…um…I don’t know what she was warming up from…other than being chilled,she posed for Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop.
Brrrr. It are sposed to be in da 70s here tomorrow.

Wow…70F is 21C here…spring weather….shorts and tank top time. Not for me of course but that would be roll in the veggie garden warm. I guess if you are not accustomed to the freezing weather….even a slight drop would be real cold. Have a great Caturday my friends.

I don’t know if it would touch my belly. It was too cold and mom hadn’t shovelled the stairs for me to get down. I am pretty light so usually I walk on top of the snow except the stairs.. Kali weighs more and sinks so she doesn’t like snow period. I think she and you have the same fear….the snow touching the belly….it would be real cold on the belly.
Have a great Caturday Cupcake.

Shoko, I’m glad that we mostly have a snow free winter. You should see the people here… two snow flakes and they park their cars in the road side ditch… three snow flakes and we have an emergency state…
more than 3 snow flakes and they buy the whole salt bags of our grocery store and throw it on the streets while riding on the big lawn mower they normally use for the sporting field. It’s a sight for sore eyes … :o)

hahaha…Watching those people would be so funny, Easy. Although it does take mom a few drives in it before she feels comfortable and she says that wet sloppy stuff is really slippery. We stopped using salt around the house cause it kills the grass and hurts my paws. Dad gets fertilizer now. Works just as well as salt.

Thank goodness someone else with both osteo and RA. Mom has tried to tell dad that when her feet swell there is not so much pain…unless she is exercising too much. She has found with her fingers the more swollen the less pain but you have to remember that the RA is twisting the fingers while it is swollen…even if we can’t feel it much. It would be lovely to have warmth all the time. Not too hot as the RA starts up but just nice.

Mom makes Chicky soup for her friend that talks real hysterical like. Mom says she’s just hyper but she scares Kali. Kali won’t go near her when she’s talking. Anyway if you were here mom would make you Chicky soup too, She makes it the old fashioned way with lots of Chicky bones. Then lets it simmer for hours after the veggies are added. I’m glad I remind you of Nylablue, she was a special girl and I hope I can fill her booties. Mingflower must have been a real cuddly kitty to be like Kali. Have a great rest of the day my friend.

Hello again Shoko & yes you fill those ‘booties’ well.
Mingflower was like a little baby girl. She bonded to me had to be close to me when I was at home. She slept with me & ate when I ate & used the potty when I used the facilities…we were like *Siamese Twins*. She was my shadow for 18 1/2 yrs.
Nylablue was more independant altho she shared the bathroom with me regularly. She was not a lap cat like Mingflower; but she loved to cuddle up beside me & let me stroke her til my hand would go numb…..i miss that so much 😉

Sounds like Nylablue and I were very similar. I let mom pet me in bed now…when she wakes up and has that anxious feeling. I used to pull away but since mom was in the hospital because of her heart problems…well, I’ve softened. Now she falls asleep petting me and I like it too. Kali and Mingflower sound very alike. Kali is like a dainty flower and rather loving. Mom says that Kali figures she’s queen of the household and that we should treat her that way. Ya, right!! She’s big sis and I’ll keep testing her running capacity. haha

I agree my friend…Shoko is the best medicine for me when I get so very anxious at night. She has patience with me too. Hubby brought Kali to visit me in the hospital…he didn’t ask anyone, just brought her. We were lucky the nurse liked cats and said ok. I loved it and she was so happy to see me. She crawled under the covers and purred her head off.

I agree, it is not very clean in the hospital and with the cutbacks things are getting worse. I used to go for IV therapy at the hospital. I would schedule the IV for around lunch time. I found when I hadn’t had anesthetic, the food was pretty good. Then the hospital decided to not feed the IV patients and save money. That was the pits. Luckily I don’t have to go anymore.
