Patches and Tigerlily

Patches and TigerlilyThis is Patches and Tigerlily. Momma is a feral cat (I named her Sadie) who had her two kitten litter in our laundry room. For being an outdoor cat Sadie has the sweetest personality and purrs if you even look at her. So, natually her babies have inherited Momma’s great dispostion. At eight weeks it was time to seperate mom from babies so I brought them in and became their Grammy for three more weeks. Then my son and daughter-in-law adopted Tigerlily and Patches. I really miss my two girls and ask daily how they are doing. For a Christmas present I will be getting a visit from my two sweet grandkittens. They live over 100 miles away and I miss them terribly. Tigerlily was born first but Patches soon grew fatter and enjoys a good feast. She was the first to climb my leg so I could hold her. She was also the first to start purring. They both love a warm lap and have fallen in love with their new mommy and daddy. They wake up Daddy evey morning by tickling his toes eager to play! And Mysti the 100 pound dog who also is part of the family has taken to being their new Momma. So now the two other cats who live there have to behave and be kind to the babies. One big happy family they all are!

Hi CatRancher! How are you? Are you still making lots of soup? I liked your acronym for I.O.W.A , I thought that was funny. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Thank you Renee…and a Merry Christmas to you, too! I am still making soup….potato, vegetable, ham and bean, when it’s plenty cold, you need plenty of soup. I will be happy when Friday rolls around and then I’m off until the 2nd of January… Glad you liked the I.O.W.A. — for those of you who didn’t catch that….I (Idiots) O (out) W (wandering) A (around). As a native Iowan, I can say that, and proudly!

And as a native Iowan also, I can verify, testify, and sanctify that- not unlike out neighbors to the north in Minnesota, “Home Of 10,000 Lakes, and a few weirdos”.

I’ll be getting another visit from Petey my furry nephew at Christmas. With my brother and sister-in-laws two human grandchildren coming with their dog it will be less stressful for Petey to come here to be spoiled. This will be the greatest gift!

Were we to be measuring the average content of this page with a meter, these two would break the needle! Too cute. And adorable, of course. Make sure they’re loved, and spoiled to furry little bits - they deserve it. Merry Christmas to you, and all my fellow fur-loving readers.

You need to have your son and daughter-in-law move a few miles closer, like maybe next door, or somewhere down the street. I know this for a fact, because my mom loves her Grand-Cats!

Y’all take care, and don’t forget to wash your paws before Christmas dinner! Merry Christmas everybody!

Patches and Tiger Lilly are two sweet little ones. So glad you took them in and your son taking in the Patches and Tiger Lilly, but you didn’t say what became of Sadie. Did your son take her, or do you still have her? Bless you for rescuing them.
