Garden party & tucking in the kitties.

Thank you all for you nice comments on my post, My Annie. I am still smiling when I think of some of your stories about a cat in your life that you know is full of love for their human. I really enjoyed reading about how each individual cat shows their affection and gratitude for a loving, forever home.  All four of our cats are lovable in their own way. Sometimes when we sit together in the living-room it's an absolute feline love-in.

There is nothing better to welcome August than to have a 'garden party'. My walking buddy, Sue from,http://readymadecosmos.blogspot.ca/ did just that. She has an exceptionally lovely yard filled with beautiful perennials, a pond and colourful gardens. It was loads of fun.
I was assigned 'cookies' for the pot-luck.


There was blackened cajun chicken, an assortment of delicious salads, french bread, fruit and veggie trays and to end it, home-made carrot cake and cookies. So good!

Here's the Hostess with the Mostess.

Thanks for the party, Sue & Iain.
And it was great to meet the newest member of your family, little Daphne

Then it was off to kitty-sit and put some senior kitties to bed.
Like darling Jenny who lives with Willow and Parker.
This precious cat is 21 years old and the apple of her owner's eye.
She is never left very long in my care but does so well when she is.
I never say good-night without dishing out a bowl of sliced up chicken in a broth, warmed just right.
"Nighty-night, Jenny. Sleep well." 
and you, too, Willow.

hugs, Deb

  10. Willow looks very much like my cat, Bonnie. Same colours of grey, white and tan. Do you call that calico or is it just domestic moggie? Oh, and Jenny is gorgeous!

    Cheers - Joolz xx

  11. I didn't realize that cats could live to age 21. Is that very unusual?

    1. Hi Rebecca2 - It is unusual but becoming more common all the time. I think the fact that cats are staying inside more and their food is more balanced and healthy, cats are now living well into their twenties.
