Sadness

Merlin here.

We haven't been good about blogging, or commenting. But we have been reading efurrybody's blogs.

And we're just so sad.

Mommy's eyes keep leaking every day it seems like, with so much sad news lately.

We want to send purrs and love and headbutts to all our friends in the cat blogosphere. Especially the families of those we have lost this week.

Ubee, sweet and small, my Not-the-Mama-in-law cared for. Not the Mama made Ubee's last days warm, safe, and full of love.

Oscar a very handsome Man Cat, unexpectedly went to the Bridge. You can read about him at Emma's blog.

Anastasia is ruling the roost at the Rainbow Bridge now, and is free from worries.

Cat O the Day!

Dobby here.

I'm Cat of the Day! Can you BELIEVE IT?

You can read all about it on Kat's Cat of the Day!

And I know we haven't blogged lately, so I thought I'd post about our new place and answer some of your questions.

We moved so far away from Tennessee, it took us three days to get here!!! We live in Col-oh-rah-do now. It's nice and cool here, and there's lots of different kinds of birdies. And our windows are open EVERY DAY. We like that a lot. We still have the same furniture, though. But now we have carpet, and that's a new adventure. We like to dig our claws into it. Mom says she's ordered some Softpaws for us, though, so we have to enjoy that while it lasts. At the top of the steps, there's a little spot where we can look through the railing and see downstairs. We like to lie there and keep an eye on Max and Mommy and Daddy. We like to hide under the bed, and have naps there too. But, since the window's open, we can lie on the bed and have the outside wind come in on us and that's most wonderful for napping.

We like it a lot here.

Why We Haven't Blogged Lately

Hi! It's me, Dobby!

Guess what?

It's a long story.

So. One day, Mom locked me and Merlin up in a room in our house and made us stay in there all day. We don't like that. It was noisy, too, but we didn't know what was going on. THEN Mom came back and put us in a carrier which you KNOW we don't like cause that means VET. Then she put us in the car. But we didn't go to the VET. We kept going and going and going. We slept a lot. She was going to let us ride separately, but we liked it better when we were in the same carrier, so we could bathe each other and stuff. Then we got somewhere, and Mom took us inside a room where we slept-- Mom was there, and Daddy and Max too. That room just had a bed in it. It wasn't very excitin'.

The next day? More riding. And riding and riding and riding and riding. We rode for a really really long time. Then there was ANOTHER boring room to sleep in. Then? You won't believe it. MORE RIDING.

But we finally got to this place where we were going. Mom said we're going to live here now. It's different, but we've decided we like it. The windows are all open, which Merlin says wouldn't happen at our old house. We still live with Mom and Dad and Max. And I still sleep on the bed with Mom and Dad at night. And Merlin and I like to sleep under their bed during the day. There's lots of different birdies, too.

We've been sooo busy gettin' used to our new place that we haven't had much time to blog. And Mommy has a new job she'll be starting, so she might be too busy to help us, but we will still be around!!!

Here we are, sleepin' during the world's longest ride.
