Thoughtful Thursday


Genji
: Hi. It's me and guess what? I am 8 months old today! Two-thirds of the way towards becoming an official mancat!

Here is a picture of me with one of my favourite toys:


And one of me napping. Do you like my collar? It has blue and white hearts on it!


I am lucky in that I have such a great family who all love me and play with me and look after me. Of course, the bestest of the bestest (aside from #1) is my woofie brother, Tommy! He gives me all kinds of great advice!


So why did I use "thoughtful" in my title today? Well, #1 has been explaining to me how each and every one of us is like a bight ray of sunlight in the lives of our people, so that when anything bad happens to us, they are terribly sad. I was not here at the time, but do you remember Mr. S and Ms. L who were here exactly a year ago, when #1 went to Japan? They were so kind and looked after everyone so well! Well, one of their kitties, Calvin, had to go to the Bridge this week after a nasty "Big C" diagnosis and we feel so bad for them. Big purrs from all of us to our dear friends, and to Calvin's brother, Hobbes.

Here is a picture of Calvin to remember him by:


Fly free, Sweet Calvin!

  3. Genji, you are growing up really fast. That is so sad about Calvin. Cancer is a terrible disease. Our mom has it and it is very scary. We are sending lots of hugs to Calvin's beans. Take care.

  10. We are very sad about Calvin. What a handsome fellow he was. The Woman says that orange cats always tug at their owners heart strings so strongly I bet he was very loved.

    We are so glad you reached the 8 month milestone Genji! Is there a little party?

  13. Genji, we know you wanna be a big mancat, but take it from me, Abby, that giving up the kitten license isn't something you ever have to do! I will be 4 years old later this month, and I am still a kitten. I let Ms. C know every day!

  18. That is terrible, and so sad. It hurts when our kitties have to leave us. Our purrs are with them. But Genji, what a fine young mancat you are! Don't be in such a rush to grow up. The young always are!
