Mischief
Location: Winter Park, Florida, USA
True to her name, Mischief is always causing trouble. This is her telling us exactly what she wants. This picture was taken last year, and Mischief is currently pregnant with her own planned litter. We are very excited, and will post pictures soon!
Bossy baby!
Caught in mid “Now!”
Yes - exactly! I have a photo of my kitty Tikka just like this where she was saying she wanted her dinner “NOW!”
Sweet little Mischief - I’m sure the name is totally appropriate!
Aww, a little Florida kitty! What an expression and such huge paws!
CatRancher posted late in the evening asking for prayers for her and her family. Her mom died at 3:00PM yesterday with CatRancher and her sister holding their mom.
Thank you so much for posting this notification, Susan! I did miss CatRancher’s post yesterday. My thoughts are with her and her family. It’s so difficult to lose those we love, and it’s even more difficult to see them in pain for some time. I’ll be sending my strength to her!
:::hugs to CatRancher::: I’m sorry for your loss…sending good thoughts your way, and keeping your family in my prayers
WHAT??? Oh my gosh. I will definitely send my prayers her way. Bless her heart.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, HM? We’ve been concerned. Are you okay??
It’s ‘meeting season’ here at work. I’ll be crazy until the third week of May and then I can exhale and kick back. Last week my computer at work died.
When I get on here at home usually everybody is already gone. I don’t mind talking to myself, but I don’t like talking to myself on the computer.
Thanks for being concerned. You guys are so great!
Glad all is well, HM. Missed you. Very little kitty napping going on in the last couple of days.
**puts mischief in her backpack and sends to Catrancher to snuggle with to ease the pain.***
I missed all you guys too. It’s amazing, 6 months ago I didn’t even know this site existed and now I can’t stay off of it - lol. Such a cool bunch of cat people.
Ok that’s allowed since it’s for CatRancher.
**Brings back Mischief to HM. Catrancher surrounded by loving family and friends now**
Here you go, HM, you can give Mischief to whomever needs her most.
have you seen my new bay he has his own page on catster just click on my name.
Susan, thank you for letting us know. If anyone has her address, please, at the end of the day, clip the well wishes and send to her.
CatRancher, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God grant you the Peace that passes understanding and help to heal your broken heart. May your family and friends pull together and give each other comfort and support and may your mother’s spirit soar high and join those that she loved who have gone before.
I’m sure CatRancher would love hearing from everyone at this time. Her email address is: nelson0254 at msn dot com
Thanks for letting us know Susan.
Heartfelt prayers and healing energy to CatRancher.
Thanks for the address Dee.
yes, thank you Dee, just sent her an email.
Thank you for letting us know. She and her family are in the thoughts and prayers of the Pickett household.
Hi Susan - thanks for letting us know about the late post. Prayers to CatRancher and her family during this incredibly difficult time. I have been missing my Dad lately, so I’m wearing his favorite zipper sweatshirt today. It is comforting.
It is like getting a warm hug from your daddy. Not like him being there but a comfort just the same. Bless your heart Joan.
Purrs ‘n’ hugs to CatRancher from our little cat and human family…CatRancher will be glad that they were there with her at the end. I wish I had been with my Mom when she died. Bless you both.
Much love goes out to Catrancher and her family.
God Bless CatRancher and her family at this very sad time. Prayers and blessings from Debsterwiz and crew. Always remember we are here for you.
Warm and comforting light and love to CatRancher. Yes, she will be very glad she and her sister were there to hold their mom as she crossed over.
May God be with you and your family—-you have our prayers for you and your family.
CatRancher, just wanted you to know that you and yours are in my thoughts & prayers.
Warm thoughts to you Catrancher.
Yes, thanks Susan for letting us know. My prayers and healing thoughts go out to CatRancher - from Rubia
**HUGS** I’m so sorry!
Love and hugs go out to Catrancher and her family in this difficult time.
Catrancher… I am saddened to hear of your loss. Sending good thoughts your way for you and your family.
Catrancher…Prayers, positive energy and hugs to you and your family…. I am sure you will say the right things… just speak from the heart.
My condolences to CatRancher on the loss of her Mom. It is never easy losing a parent whatever age you are. I lost mine at age 9. I send you warm thoughts and prayers and that you find peace in knowing that your Mother is without pain and is with the rest of her family and God in Heaven.
Catrancher, You are in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories be long and your grief short.
Love, Tinafish
Oh, no, I feel so sad for CatRancher! At least she got to spend time with her mom at the end - that’s so important. I’ll be keeping her in my thoughts!
My most heartfelt sympathies. I am glad that CatRancher was there with her mom, and that her mom had her girls with her as she passed over. I will keep you in prayers and thoughts - God Bless.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Catrancher during this difficult time. Sending comforting thoughts and hugs to you and yours.
Oh, Catrancher! I don’t even know what to say…*crying at work* My mom lives on the other side of the country, I would count it a blessing to be able to hold her as she passes. But not haveing lost my mommy…More than just prayers, truly heartfelt empathy.
Sorry for your loss.
Susan in GA,
I just got through reading CatRancher’s post from yesterday. That is so sad. I left her a post on yesterday’s blog( capitol hill kittens). I missed visiting TDK yesterday.
So sorry for your loss Catrancher. Hugs & Purrs from mine to yours.
–My prayers also go out to you & your family CatRancher. A Mother-Daughter bond are quite unique & I feel your pain. I’m sorry for your loss.
Deepest sympathies for your loss. May the Lord be with you and your family during this difficult time.
CatRancher, I’m so sorry about your loss. We’ll be saying prayers of comfort for you and your family.
Little Mama Mischief! reeeeoooowwww!
I love kitties with catatude. They know what they want and don’t mind telling you anytime, anyplace.

PERN
Any planet worth it’s salt will have dragons and dragonriders!
you betcha!
pern ? what is that ?
This is in reference to a series of books by Anne McCaffery called the Dragon Riders of Pern. Great series by the way.
Could never get through it, myself. Maybe it’s just one of those men and women things.
Nah, I didn’t care for it either, just some folks like the style, and some don’t. Missed you Instinct. Glad you are back.
I loved Ann McCaffery’s Rowan and Damjia. Very cool books.
I haven’t gotten into them-yet. Still too many vampires and weres to keep up with. The hubby is a McCaffrey addict. When she developed angina and let her son take over or co-wrote with that other lady his heart was broken.
I enjoyed the Ann McCaffery books. I just read two books by a new (to me) author, Christopher Paolini–Eragon and Eldest. They are fantastic and I think he has a third book coming out this summer to finish the trilogy. He was only 15 when he started writing Eragon.
Oops–forgot to connect this up to the Pern novels. Eragon and Eldest feature a 15 year old male who is chosen by a dragon to be his rider. It is sort of a Pern world meets Lord of the Rings epic adventure. There are “werecats” in each book that are telepathic.
Oooo…sounds like a must read!
PERN means Parrallels Earth Resources Negligible. Term used by Anne McCaffrey in her Dragonrider books. Of course you don’t find out that the name of the planet “Pern” was taken from the acronym until very far into the series.
I grew up on Pern and Dragonriders! I always fancied firelizards as flying cats. They just seemed so cat-like wonderful to me!!
But no soft fur or purrs…
Oh yes, I thought so too - the early books are the best. Have looked at Eragon, but it seems like a chore - I gave up on Harry Potter after the first one - guess I think some of them doth try to make too much of little.
Oh! I love those books…especially the 1st three and the spinoffs!
I’m sure it isn’t Diskworld!
Not nearly as funny as Diskworld. I am a member of the Rincewind fan club!
Life - just like us? lol!
Actually more like Krypton. 5x’s the mass of Earth with a Red Sun.
Strange visitor from another world, anyone?
and kryptonite so recently discovered in Serbia…
A life sustainable world, not like Earth, more like Mars maybe.
yeah, but can you imagine what the UHaul bill would be when you decided to move there?
T
Awwwwww..sweet!
I have the backpack and the pitchfork so mischief is mine.
Yep….I back.
I’M back, even.
Me back too
me three…
Awww shucks!! Missed you HM, it’s been a hell of a week.
Missed you HM and Instinct.
Were you and HM sneaking off together somewhere?
Mayhap we were and mayhap we weren’t.
Mother Abigail!
OMG I can’t believe somebody picked up on that!!
The Stand was just rerun straight through on SciFi channel.
And I watched it, too. All the way through - wasn’t that a couple of Sundays ago?
I read it every year (the entire version, not the shorter one). I don’t usually care for books made into movies, but I think they did a stellar job with that one. Of course, I’m biased.
Good to see you and HM back! YOu were both missed.
Good - missed both of you!
****HUGGS**
You were missed
I missed you guys too.
Unfortunately it’s ‘meeting’ season so I’ve been running around like an idiot - well like even more an idiot than I already am.
It paid off yesterday though. I got a $100 gift card, 3 bottles of wine, 2 pounds of brisket, 1 rack of baby back ribs. I also got taken to Morton’s Steak House.
Sometimes being an administrative assistant isn’t so bad.
Cool beans, I got $50 cash and taken out for a fancy lunch. Yeehaw!
It’s the least they can do after what they put us through all year long, right?
Got that right!!
That’s wonderful HM !! So nice that those around you see and appreciate what you do … even if it is “your job”… you add that something extra that is specifically YOU !
I have to get my MRI on Friday so I won’t be at work. One of the managers got all cheesed off. “It’s so boring when you’re not here.”
Yeah, I’m kinda zany
But they all seem to like that so I guess I’ll keep them.
I’m lucky to work at a place that let’s me be me, nutty personality and all.
Hey HM - I’m an Admin. Asst. (a.k.a. Sucker) too! Working like an idiot today; getting yanked in 12 different directions. Went to the animal shelter on my lunch break - instant tension reducer…
Happy Administrative Assistant Day to all of us who are Admins. I interviewed at Merrill Lynch for a Director’s Assistant position. I really want this job. They give very fat bonuses for good performances.
Hi Karin, Good luck on your interview - I hope it works out for you.
Hapy Administrative Assistant Day to all Admins out there. I know your pain - I was an AA for 22 years. It was nice to be spoiled one day out of the year.
HM–someone gave you 2 pounds of brisket as a gift??
Yes they did.
Last year was even better, I got 4 rib-eye steaks, 3 pounds of bacon with the rind on, and some sausage.
I’m a total carnivore. Must be that midwestern thing that creeps up from time to time.
Good for you HM! Happy AA day to you and all the others. Think of me when you’re eating all that good food. Enjoy!
It’s Alcoholic Anonymous Day, too? Darn, I didn’t get any of my inebriated friends/coworkers a card. . .
My assistant got a box of chocolates, but I definitely get the better deal. I have an incredibly HANDSOME male assistant!!!
**grins**
Georgie’s Mama has “Beef Cake” or aka male candy in her office. Nice to have someone who is easy on the eyes. LOL!
See, now that is just sexist and I am shocked and offended by it.
One woman in my office has a photo of some singer just wearing a pair of jeans and no shirt on her wall.
I told her if I had a picture of Angelina Jolie in the same pose with the same outfit I would get in trouble. It’s a total double standard
Good one Instinct!
I used to have a mousepad with a shirtless guy on it and they made me put it up. You can’t have any of that stuff here…male or female. Nothing suggestive.
My boss and the law clerk took me out to lunch for AA Day today! yummy! Plus, I’m always up for a free meal. Happy Admin. Assistants day all!
Sorry Instinct. My sense of humor is kind of warped and I forgot that it my offend the males on this website. I only mentioned that she has someone nice to look at. I worked over nine years in the stockbrokerage industry aka wealth management and you talk about a sexist environment! I use to hear some of the brokers say to the hiring manager to make sure they hired a nice looking sales assistant so they would all have someone nice to look at. I spent 9 years of being around a good ole boys environment! Talk about having to put up with a sexist and discrimanent environment!
I am in a zero to bitch mood here!
Anyone have any “chill pills” available? I think I need some.
*passes chill pills to Karin*
I hear you Karin - I work in IT which is male dominated, and I did a 7 year stint with a firm of Chartered Surveyors, which is very male dominated. And sooo many of them are arrogant, patronising and chauvanistic beyond belief! Used to have great fun taking them down a peg or several though
Thanks HM! Sorry Instinct.
Oh noo, I wasn’t offended at all. You forget - I was a sailor
Talk about a sexist environment.
I guess the only time I’m offended is when there is an obvious double standard and the people who create it have the attitude of “so what”
Personally I would like everyone to lighten up and remember that the constitution never said you wouldn’t be offended by something.
too late!
I got the kitty!
Made myself a nice big backpack
Don’t make me take the pitchfork on an international flight.
Need my broom? Doesn’t need fuel - just witchy power!
Hmmmm…yes. Thanks Joan.
Wooo hooo witchy woman, see
