Thursday - It's Me, MikiCato, from Five Oaks

 
RoySr speaks:
     On rare occasion I take the liberty of adding a bit of verse or a quote that I think goes with one of the photos I managed to catch of my little House Panther, MikiCato.  This is one of those times.

Lately the little cat has been hanging close to me,

sticking close almost like a Velcro patch, not that I mind,

but it worries me.  He is the one who tried to tell me,

the night I before I went to the Emergency Room

with major problems.

Again, he was there telling me when I had to go for the

heart thing.  Long story short:  I am worried about him.

He is only 8 years old, but lately he acts much older,

is not spending much time at play, just lazing around,

dull coated, eyes sometimes vacant looking. 

Methinks my little ManCat is getting old.

The others give him his share of room and attention,

and he always has my back, but .....

Maybe I'm seeing too many reports and stories of folks' pets

growing old, getting sick and such .....

Still, MikiCato is with us, he's right now on my left

on the desk close beside me with his little paw on my left arm.

Life is good at Five Oaks Manor, SouthWoodsUSA.

Have a good day and y'all come see us either/or 

on  Buddy Bear's Cats' World's Web Site,

on  Buddy Bear's Cats' World's Blog,

or on  Buddy Bear's FaceBook Page. 

Miki can be seen, along with the other 5 Mouskateers, on all three sites.  

Jet Dragon

This is Jet Dragon guarding the computer, waiting for Mom to come use it.


Jet liked to tunnel under the covers of the bed. Here he used his laser eyes to warn intruders.


Jet sleeping the day away in peace, getting rested for mayhem to come.


Sleeping with his best buddy, Venus Purrl. The most common place to find him.


"Where is the computer, Mom? I guess I'll just hang out here until it shows up."

My personal little yin and yang. If they had swapped coat colors, Jet would have been totally yang, Venus yin. Their personalities were so different, but they (mostly) got along together.




Today would have been, Jet Dragon, my little house panther's eleventh birthday.

Jet died suddenly from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

that we didn't know he had,on December 3, 2010.

He followed Venus,for whom he grieved deeply,

,just nine months after she left, also unexpectedly,

for the Bridge.

I miss them in the depths of my soul; they were a part of my life for so many years. Jet's insistant "YOW!", his curious nature. Nothing new entered the house without receiving a thorough review within seconds. His deep multi-toned purr against my chest at night. The toy fur mice that he would carry about the house by the tail. Or the special catnip mouse that he carried off and hid, never to be seen again. His direct way of going after what he wanted at top speed. I knew, when those big green eyes met mine from the carrier, that it was love at first sight. I will love you both furrever!

     A Story from out of the past.  

A story about our little House Panther, MikiCato and his Riding Horsey/Thingie/Whatever!

     One upon a day one time not too many years way back ago ...... It was a relatively quiet afternoon.  Everyone was relaxing in the fun room of Five Oaks Manor deep in the SouthWoods.  Miki was scrabbling around the foot rest/riding horse/cat play thing when Buddy walks in all inquisitive and nosy .....

Buddy Bear says ... "Whas wrong wif da ridey horsey thing lil Bro?"

MikiCato says... "I just checking ..... sometim been rattllin under dere"

Buddy says... "Did you maybe be shakin your head when you went under dere?  

Dat could be where da rattliln comin from yaknows?"

Miki says... "You make fun of me agin Big Bro I hides my head an cries!"

Buddy says... "It nothing to loose your head overs Bro!  Still 

you looks good  when you hides da head dat way. 

 Don scare da mousies wif da look you gots den!"

Miki says... "I allays gets interrupteded when I go to make da ridey horsey

bed looks an works betterer!"

Buddy Says... "It look good enough when no on one it, why tryies to mess

wif Mother Natures and da beans what boughted it for us kitties an go tears it up?" 

Miki says... "Still I says I heared rattlin when I wen under dere ..... I knows I did!"

Buddy says... "Das just somethin you make up so we feels sorries for yourselves an

 you gets to ride da thingie first.  Is not fair acktuallie, cause you allays falls asleep up dere."

     The Large one here!  "I think the riding horse thing we found at the Flea Market one day a few years back was a great success with Miki.  Not sure Buddy, Tegar and Rowdy got much fun out of it.  That little House Panther was always on or under the thing, scrabbling around, lazing, snoozing ..... well mostly snoozing!  Maybe that's why the other ManCats didn't mess with it.  He was always sleeping on it."

Miki, Buddy, the boys and girls are on Buddy Bear's Cats' World's FaceBook Page.
