What a cute Easter bunny!!!
YOU ARE FAST!
Thanks! How do I get the TDK cookbook, by the way?
I have the cookbook as a MSword document on my computer at work. Send me an Email at TDK cookbook AT gmail DOT com or post your email in the same code here. (this prevents spammers from getting your address, I don’t want you to get 500 messages about viagra or others…..)
Done!
oh how cute is it a guy or girl
It’s probably a guy but no guarantees. Orangies are usually but not always male.
Pride is beautiful - going to have plushy fur too I would think - what a sweet expression for an Easter kitty. Reminds me of one I had years and years ago - still loved if long gone. Marmelade cats are great !!
Orange cats can be femaletoo. I had one years ago. Does anyone know if Siamese cats can have orange/amber eyes? Someone told me they can but I’ve only ever seen blue eyes on siamese kittys. Am really wondering about this.
He’s a boy cat… He’s 5 years old… Other photos of him all grown up at http://www.pbase.com/carmcole
Love the sweet Kitty Photos of all of them. The series of the sleeping brothers is really cool.
Mina-Unless I am mistaken, siamese all have blue eyes. Orientals have eyes of other colors and sometimes will be cross bred with the meezers.
Thanks MerD - I received my cookbook today. Can’t wait to try the recipes.
Hi Mary, I am also in Maryland, Silver Spring. Howdy, neighbor!
Wow! I live in Silver Spring too! What area?

You can email me at lgoldenm29AThotmailDOTcom if you want. Catch you later…
I got my cookbook today, also, MerD. Thank you muchly!
any one from washington state?
Not from there, but I lived in Seattle and Spokane for a bit when I was younger.
My hubby was born outside of Spokane! And now I have a friend who has moved to that area and has just opened a slot car business/racetrack or whatever you call it.
raised in Seattle
raised kids in tacoma…..Parents still live in everett………..
Hi, I’m new to the site, love all the kitties. Right now I’m from CA (San Francisco Bay Area) but by fall will be in Spokane WA. Hubby needs out of the rat race here so we are heading back to where he is from. Have 3 kitties, Sunny 12, Pepper 5, Coconut 10 months and dog Shasta almost 3. We lost our old girl, Panda 18, in Sept along with the bunny in Nov. As a pet owner the hardest thing is that final goodbye but i know I’ll see them all again.
I’m sorry you lost your Panda-girl and your bunny. Welcome though and enjoy your stay!
Hey kitties4deb, I am in the SF Bay Area and know what you mean by the rat race here. It has gotten from being a nice place to live to everyone here having the “me mentality”. If my husband found a good job elsewhere in the US, I would consider moving as well. I hear Spokane is a good place to move to. Not sure about the job market there but the real estate is a lot more reasonable. Sorry you lost your Panda girl and your bunny but as you say, you will see them again when it is time.
I’ll be out there in a few months for school (My wife and I are both going for our masters) but once we have graduated we both want to move as far away from California as possible - it’s just to crazy there.
Maybe Portland or back to Seattle
im in washington state. i didn’t really see anyone else here posting from here till the last couple weeks. glad to see there are a few of us here
Hey Instinct, if I get a job with Kaiser Permanente, I am going to look into transfering elsewhere after a year or so. California is too crazy now. Too expensive too. I want to be able to own a house and that isn’t possible in SF Bay Area unless you can afford a house in the $600k and above. You need a CEO’s pay to be able to afford a house. Unless I inherit a house from a family member, I do not see myself being able to buy a house here in Calif.
I love how friendly everyone is, thanks for the warm welcome! We are semi-retiring, my hubby has a part-time job to help pay the bills till we make our move. Almost have the house ready to put on the market. Once we move have several options for income but no jobs waiting.
Pride is such a cutie, my daughter wants a marmalade someday.
Kaiser is great. Yea, after grad school I really want to move faaaarrrr away from California. Portland would be good
Trying to find an apartment but it’s not going to good.
Hey, what is Richmond like (the city, not the district)
Dang it, my wife used my logon to post and I didn’t change it back
The above post by Intuition is really me. Intuition is my wife
That’s really cute, Instinct and Intuition. true, generally for married couples…
Welcome, kitties4deb! I think you’ll love this site. So sorry to hear about your recent losses. Yes, you’ll see them again!
Thanks Pride is the first born kitten born to his lovely Momma Joy… Yep… Pride and Joy… He had 3 littermates… named Happiness-Mac, Love-Lovey and Peace… They were born 12/15/01… and are BIG Maine Coons at 5 years of age…
The website with their photos and poems is:

Pride recently won a BIG contest at the CATSTER site for having the CRAZIEST tail… You can see the winning photo on his CATSTER site… http://www.catster.com/cats/95379

Happy Birthday to Sharon in Austell.
HAPPY BIRD DAY SHARON!!!
Happy B’day, Sharon! We even have a present for you — put this little fella in your suitcase, pocket, basket before HM gets here.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Sharon, happy birthday to you!
I thought about using the line about monkeys, but decided it was rude. LOL
Happy Birthday Sharon
Hippo Birdie two ewes

Happy Birthday Sharon. Have many many many more!!
xoxox
Happy Birthday, Sharon! Hope your day is full of sun and fun!
Thank you, everyone. I love you guys! And tonight I get the best present of all–Bo is arriving after work. Until then, the hubby has given me the recently released “Black Sabbath-The Dio Years” and #1 kid gave me Roger McGuin’s instructional dvd of folk guitar lessons. I’m in hog heaven.
HV-what monkey line? You gotta share!
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you… you look like a monkey and you smell like one too!
Didn’t you sing that as an adolescent?
What about
“may you live a thousand years,
may you drink a thousand beers,
get plastered you *nice person*
happy birthday to you !!!” ???
Never heard that one! Does it go to the happy birthday tune? I might have to break that out for a friend of mine ^^
l am not familiar with the verse but the scansion fits the SCA’s Viking Birthday song which is sung to “The Song of the Volga Boatmen”. Complete with grunts following the Happy Birthday instead of the “to you”.
example verse
May the candles on your cake,
Burn like cities in your wake.
Happy Birthday (ugh!)
Happy BirthDay (ugh!)
I love that!
That is really funny
My childhood missed out on cool stuff like that-except for camp songs like Cheri’s here! Cool sentiment! As for the monkey song-hey! I resemble that remark!
You insisted!!!
Rockin’ Out with Bo and Dio on yo B-Day! *Insert failed attempt at a head bang…* Happy Birthday! Ok, now I need some of those pain killers from yesterday…
Here you go Amy Lou *passes some demerol to Amy Lou*
Oh, so very grateful HM!
How funny, I was listening to Heaven and Hell at the doctor’s office the other day.
You’re having a great birthday already. I’ll bet you can’t WAIT until to night to get Bo. We want to see pictures.
The doctor’s ofice?! Far out doc! Bet he’s the one who gave you the groovy pain meds, huh?
Pictures are a given–what kind of godparents don’t carry around pictures?
I was at the doctors office, but Heaven and Hell was playing on my personal CD player. My doctor is cool, but he’s not THAT cool!! lol
And yes, he’s the one who gave me the groovy pain meds.
I had a chiropractor that played that kind of music in his office. He was very cool
My dentist sings songs by Prince…’enuf said…
As long as he doesn’t start singing ‘Little Nicki” while your in the chair I guess it would be OK…
buwahahhahahahahahah
As in “the world is full of kings and queens that blind your eyes and steal your dreams”…….which ironically enough I am listening to now???
Awww Sharon,
Bo is your special birthday present!!! Oh, I am SO happy and excited for both of you!!! How wonderful! Give Bo a hug from me! The little sweetie…..
Did I miss getting that info to you? So sorry! Yeah, the hubby stepped up and claimed him and he’s coming in tonight via a lady who’s parents live just down the road. Everyone is an honorary godparent to Bo now (officially on paper now known as Boba Fett) except for Evangeline who is his auntie since she turned us all on to Bo’s plight to begin with.
HI Sharon,
Thanks for explaining. I do read every comment on here, but somehow missed it? Sounds like you were “meant to be” BO’s Mommy. What a darling story. Do you have other cats as well? How wonderful Bo has so many to love him. Awwww…..
Bo will join 4 seniors, cats: Rasputin, Amelia and Ginny; Pomeranian Rusty who is large (15 lbs like Bo) and is deaf and almost completely blind and doesn’t realize he isn’t 2 any more. We’re also hoping to adopt another catster baby up for adoption. Her mommy contacted me today with a positive response. Miss Kitty is in Colorado.
At one time I had (between a daughter and dad who were away and ours) : 13 cats, 4 dogs, 3 gerbils, 2 betas and a blue tarantula named Callahan. Our numbers have dwindled.
Wow…. You’re birthday sounds wonderful! Mine was yesterday…. My sons both called me and my boyfriend gave me a tulip plant. Very quiet day for me…
HIPPO BIRDEE TWO EWE !
Hey Debby,
Sorry we all missed your birthday. Happy LATE birthday to you. Sounds like yours was special. Late birthday hugs….
Thank you ! I love hugs
Bless your heart I wish you a belated birthday you should of given us a shout before. I asked Sharon in an email last week when her birthday was and lo and behold it was right around the corner.
I was flying under the radar most of yesterday. I’m looking for HM’s pain pills…
tailbone injury has me moving very very slowly
Thank you for the kind words and wishes!
Ooh… I have some left. HM gave me some when I did the head bang earlier. Much better now…you can have the rest of the pills… *passes Debby…ahem….booty pain pills*
Oh, and can’t forget! Happy B-Day to you, Debby! Mine’s coming up later in the month! Hooray for us Easter bunny birthdayers!
Hi Amy Lou,
What day is your birthday this month?
Happy Birthday Debby and Sharon! Sharon I’m so glad you are giving a forever home to Bo. He’s a lucky kitty now.

Hi Renee- my B-day is the 16th…a Monday…eugh…
Happy birthday, Debby! Sending you purrs and headbutts!
Debby! You should have told us! When was it? Many happy belated returns from me and mine!
I was born a month and a half late-two days short of my grandfather’s birthday-and the first grandchild at that! He never forgave me for not waiting two more days.
Oww, my enormous lab knocked me over and broke my toe.I’m in the pain pill club too.
Also an aries(April 19) I’m be 49. OMG!!!
Hi Marsha,
Your birhtday is the same day as my hubby’s!
Happy belated Birthday Debby.
Thank you all for the headbutts, purrs and wishes! And mostly, thanks for the pain pills… for the uh.. booty pain.. well said !
Us Aries Rams pretty tough…..
Happy Birthday Debby, enjoy the meds!!
Wheeeee…… feeling sooooo much better….. lalalalal… LOL
So sorry about your tailbone injury I know how painful that can be. I fell in the garage and laned with my back against the door and my legs up so I was in a perfect V. My friend kept telling me to go to the ER I said what for they cannot put my butt in a sling. I couldn’t sit for months it was either lie or stand.
I have got to proof read and then hit the send button. The word was suppose to be landed - sorry.
I wish mine was more dramatic… I was sitting on the floor in what we call the ’split chicken’ position… knees bent toes pointing backwards. I was ‘circling around’ experimenting with how far back I could go. Got pretty close to the floor… getting up was the issue :D. The following day I bent over to pick up a 10 lb dumbbell and twisted just the wrong way. That did it! I have had a previous tailbone injury from playing hockey…. it all adds up. The worst part is… I’m a hula dancer! And for now I can’t dance! I can barely get in and out of my car!
And for those who asked… my birthday was yesterday
Happy Birthday Sharon!
Sent you an email. Hope you received it! Waiting for your addy so I can send Bo a present. It is so nice being an Auntie!
Lovely Easter Bunny! There is nothing like an orangie!
Hoppy Friday everyone
HAPPY PURRDAY SHARON!!!
Happy Birthday Sharon! Hope your day is special.
It already is thanks to all my TDK family. You all make the world go ’round!
Happy Birthday Sharon! Hope you have a purr-fect one!
It sounds like it is gonna be a good day for you, especially since Bo is coming to live with you. Hugs to the both of you.
Happy birthday, Sharon! And congratulations on the impending arrival of your new baby! What a terrific present that will be!
Happy Birthday, fellow Aries!!!
Such a cute orangie - BOF (big orange fella). Love his “mane”
How do I contact the Easter Bunny cause I want a cute kitty instead of those dredful Peeps?
It’s fun to blow them up in the microwave
peep jousting
Yipes! Hate to use the microwave after that…
That’s why you go down to the convenience store and use their microwave instead. *giggles behind hand*
evil…
Oh! hope my grandkids don’t hear about that!
I think Peeps are awesome IF they are stale…kinda chewy.
When I was a kid my mom used to “age” them before putting them in the basket for me. O.K fine, she still does.
I understand that they are awesome in hot cocoa…
Seeing as we are freezing our butts off here in NE Ohio, I just might give that a try!
We’re freezing here too. Snow flurries. and it was 80 degrees last weekend. Ah Oklahoma
It’s that global warming stuff…..
I am not complaining as I hate heat it was 80 earlier in the week and this morning it was in the 20’s Easter morning it will 25 with a high of 56! The Easter Bunny better wear leg warmers or he will freeze his footsies off.
you’re right Instinct. And it’s all Al Gore’s fault
I wouldn’t blame Al for all of it, I would also blame John “I can dance” Travolta and Leo “I can’t act” DeCapprio too
I like to open Peeps and then put them in the freezer to age. They get downright chewy almost crunchy then. YUM
I dare you to go to the nearest mall, sit on the Easter bunny’s lap and tell him that… and be as serious as possible…If you do, record it so we can all watch. Hilarious!
Oh yeah, i so want pictures
Hey, lay off the Peeps. Peeps are awesome
I just HATE anything marshmellow, I was a weird Girl Scout I had s’mores without the marshmellow. I also have lemon merguine pie without the merguine and don’t get me started on cotton candy. I guess I am sweet enough without the extras - Get the hip boots that was too deep even for me!!!
What about Hawaiian banana boats
I was a girl scout and feel that the only way to do s’mores was over an open fire and they had to be dropped in the ashes at least once to be good
Peeps just creep me out though, can’t stand the smell of them
I had a friend who didn’t tell me it was his birthday until he was sitting at our table, so I stuck a birthday candle in a Peep, lit it, and sang him happy birthday.
I agree I love peeps, well the bunnies anyway.
My daughter and I have a thing, she would eat just the ears off the bunnies & then I started leaving her just the ears. When she moved away from home I sent her a pack of just bunny ears! FYI it takes 3 packs of bunnies to make one pack of ears, we had earless bunnies for weeks.
Last year we spent Easter in Spokane WA and there was an art contest with everything made of peeps.
I want a cute kitty AND peeps!
