Twilight’s Watchful Play on her Birthday and everyday!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Twilight, Happy Birthday to you!

http://yhoo.it/MV9up4 With love from Alvin and the chipmunks!

This most precious cat, my Twilight turned 4 this past June, we celebrated at home and on Facebook, and now here with all of the other summer birthday celebrations.  If you knew my Twilight, you would run to find one.  She is loving, gentle, slightly spirited in a good way, and just a darling.

Love, snuggles and kitty kisses to this dear one – And many more!

It’s a Modern Cat Life friendship. A story of two young females from opposite ends of cat life, a high energy shelter cat and a gentle retired breeders cat. Learning to accept each other, get along, play, and taking comfort in friendship found.
Grace and Twilight send kisses and hope that your friendships grow into love.

Friends

A friendly Sunday to you!

By Melinda Merijanian –

We don’t sleep a wink at night,

So we can nap at day.

We sleep and lounge when it is light,

So night fall is our play.

Sleepy Smiles Twilight

Just a nod Grace

We hope you have had a restful rejuvenating Sunday!

Bella’s Birthday Story – The Parrot that thinks it’s a cat

As told by Pat Bell;

Parrots are a lot of work and after my cockatoo of 25 years passed away suddenly, I decided not to get another one. But of course you know as time passes, I yearned for another bird, so I set out to find a female baby cockatoo. We found Bella (her full name is Isabella) and she quickly became spoiled!
I then unexpectedly lost my beloved cat, Jasmine at 6 years of age and we soon decided to get 2 Maine Coon kittens. We picked up the kittens in Kentucky in our motor-home and Lani immediately fell in love with Bella (Lani loves everybody!). So they became immediate friends, and I think Lani told Bella she was a cat and Bella believed it! Bella wants to do Everything the cats do. So, everyone supervises me in the shower, making the bed, cooking or doing laundry…but Bella wants to help me!

Best Friends, Bella & Lani
Shower Time!

Bella’s Tree House


Bella thinks she can talk and she imitates us when we talk but only she knows what she is saying and she gets quite animated (and loud – especially when I’m on the phone!).

We thought Bella was a girl but now our vet says that she (he) is probably a boy. We can’t get used to it (although she is not as docile as our previous little girl was…that should have been a clue!). Anyway she(he) is still called Bella and I still think of her as a girl!
She is very sweet and attentive and demands lots of attention….but that is what they are for…isn’t it?

Happy Birthday Bella!

2012, 4th of July, American, cats, photography

Happy 4th of July from our kitty girls, Grace and Twilight!
It’s always very exciting and patriotic around the house during our 4th of July celebration. Small American flags line the half round of well manicured boxwood bushes, our American flag waves proudly against our 1935 Georgian red brick home, and quite unexpected, my husband plays God Bless America, America the Beautiful, and My Country Tis of Thee on his bagpipes! The days feast is in the planning stages, but it will be classic picnic fare full of smiles. As evening settles, my husband and I safely sit and watch musical firework celebrations via the TV.
I love our slice of Americana 🙂

Enjoy your 4th of July!

Think Summer Fun!

Summer is here packed with Sunshine, long days, picnic foods and a more carefree spirit.  I have to believe my cats feel the same way, lounging for hours on the warm screened in porch, then in the luxury of their air-conditioned home and napping the day away.  Grace and Twilight are always ready for a treat as the rustling of the  bag calls them into the kitchen, a long drink of cool water from the fridge is up next, and a quick round of play.  Then of course, the squirrel watching, it must be like watching TV, so the monitor look of June’s cover reflects.

Best wishes to you and yours for a long cool playful summer!

Twilight, Grace, and squirrel TV

Coffee Cat

By Melinda Merijanian, I heart coffee and I love cats, two reasons to relax and enjoy a cup with me.

My original inspiration was from my sister, Julie who posted this adorable found coffee art cat below from her local Mama Jean’s Natural Market.

Barista Audre’s coffee art cat – MaMa Jean’s Market

Next step, with fresh hot frothy, but lacking art cup of coffee in hand, web research to find this darling drinkable art form.  First search, I find as expected, I am not the first to be enamored with coffee cat art. The following coffee crafted cats were found at – www.cutedaily.com

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I also found coffee is a popular art form for your home, via just coffee art.

The best part of my coffee filled morning?  No matter what the weather is, my cats; Grace and Twilight, and I venture out on to the screened in porch and take a moment to breathe in the new day.   As I sit and rock in my rocker, I enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Community dark roast coffee with almond milk and honey from our backyard apiary.  I say, richly blessed with both; cats and coffee just not in the same place.

As I near the end of my personal cup of coffee during this pleasurable search of eye-catching coffee art, I encourage each of you to Google coffee art just for fun, and view this art form one flavorful cup at a time.  mmmm 🙂

Good morning and a good day to each of you!

2012, American, Cat, Memorial Day

Because of those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives to keep our country free, we all have the freedom and a lifestyle that is the American dream.
In memory of those who came before us and those who continue to keep our country free, so that on Memorial Day, we can respect our history, freely picnic, play, vacation and spend valuable family time together.
If you ever have a chance to visit the Arlington National Cemetery, please do so, it gives an overwhelming perspective on our nations sacrifice.
