They say that animals are difficult to read but honestly, this has not been my experience, at least not with Mikey anyway, he is a pretty easy read.

As you can see here, Mikey makes it pretty obvious how he is feeling. LOL

I was in the hall taking pictures instead of playing like Mikey wanted to do so he jumped up on his rail and through himself down with a big sigh...LOL

1000 Words

They say that the Egyptians have 50 words for sand.
And that the Eskimos have a 100 words for snow.
I wish I had 1000 words for love but all I can think of is how you move against me when you sleep and there aren't any words for that.

Sweet Boo

Look who is staying with us for a little while…its Little Boo. 

The last time I saw her she looked like this…

She is 6 months old now and just the sweetest most beautiful little girl. 

I am so happy she is here and we are getting a chance to know her better...

I love her little face so much I just want to look at her all day long. LOL

Love Story

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes."

LOL LOL

Oh,  but he really is my Romeo.

Meowy Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, in the sleeping cats house, 

Not a feline was stirring-for even a mouse,

Cat stockings were hung by the door with care,

In hope Santa Paws soon would be there.

The kittens were snuggled in mama cats bed,

With brothers and sisters curled head-to-head,

And mama cat on her quilt, and I on my mat,

Had just settled into a delicious catnap.

When out of the yard there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my mat to see what was the matter.

Away to the windows, I flew like a flash,

Climbed up the curtains, and pressed my nose to the glass.

And what in the world did my feline eyes see,

But a small golden chariot, pulled by cats just like me!

With a fluffy old driver, so white and so furry,

I knew in a moment it must be Saint Purr-y.

More rapid than rabbits his kitties did came,

And he yowled and meowed, calling each cat by name.

"On, Slippers, On, Sneakers, On, Bigfoot, On, Spats!

Christmas is coming, lets go gentle cats."

Now, White Sox, Now, Bootsie, Lets go gloves and mittens!

To the back porch we do fly! lets go cats and kittens!

So down to the catdoor, his kittens they flew,

With a catnip filled chariot-and Santa Paws too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the latch.

The paws and clawing of Santa-paws scratch,

As I sniffed for his scent and looked all around,

Through the cat door Santa-paws came with a bound.

His eyes how they sparkled, his whiskers, how merry!

His cheeks were like marshmallows,his pink nose like a cherry! 

His little cat mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the fur on his paws was as white as the snow.

He meowed not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings, and turned with a jerk.

Then washing his whiskers, his ears, coat and tail,

After having a snack, out the cat door he sailed.

He jumped in his chariot, to his team gave a yowl,

And away they all flew, like nine cats on the prowl,

But I heard him meow, as he drove out of sight,

"Meowy Christmas to all, an to all a good night."

Mikey Needs to Share

Ok, so last night I am upstairs on the computer and I hear my 6 year old Haley downstairs and she sounds mad, she was not yelling but she had that tone. I listened for a moment and did a mental inventory and came to the realization that there could not be anyone down there for her to be getting mad at.
So I walk down there and there the she is, one hand on the hip and the other one is pointing….and there he is, Mikey and he is sitting in a box. The box is what Roo’s grave marker came in. (I will upload a pic of it later, so beautiful, an angel cat with wings and Roo’s name inscribed on it, makes me happy)
So anyway, the box is way bigger than it needed to be for this marker but Mikey was all good with that.
Apparently, Mikey is not the only one in the house with a box fetish.
As soon as Haley turned and saw me downstairs she said “Mom, Mikey needs to share” I started to laugh which turned out to be the response she was not looking for. By this time she is full on pissed off, she said “everytime I try to get near the box he tries to get me, he’s not being nice and he is not sharing Mom, I want to play with the box too.”
Mikey is sitting in the box just looking all smug.
He is totally deaf so he cannot hear a word of what she is rambling but he knows she wants the box and he’s got it and I swear I could see a smirk on his face.
So then I really start laughing and Haley was not amused, “she said this is not fair, you need to teach him how to share.” Then she looked at Mikey and said forget it, I don’t want the box anymore and she stuck her tongue out at him and he just got more comfortable in his new box. LOL She told him “you wait until tonight when it’s bed time and you want to cuddle in my bed, nope, I’m not doing it.”
I am still laughing. It was too funny .
About an hour or so later I was doing laundry and I was out there a while, when I came back into the house it was quiet so I went in Haley’s room to check on her and she was fast asleep…and Mikey was right there next to her, head on her pillow, she had her arm around him.

When You Miss Me

It is just so sad to see your cute little face in the window as I drive away to take Haley to school or to go to the store. I know all the trouble you go through to try and stop me from going. I really never want to leave you.
But coming home is always nice as you greet me at the door with that giant meow that deaf cats have and you begin to circle my feet and meow some more…. continuously until I put my stuff down and say hi to my Mikey…there is really no other feeling to compare this to because this moment belongs to only us because it is our friendship and best friends always have their own way.
When you miss me…I miss you too.

A little more Mikey

Mikey is just this beautiful creature - but it really comes from within. Taking pictures of him started out as something for the photo album but quickly turned in to a hobby and now it's something I would like to do professionally.  His gorgeous face has inspired me to want to be a photographer.





















Ok well....these are just Mikey's feet which I find absolutely adorable. Enough said.

















Mikey is so silly and so sweet. As soon as I break out the camera, he starts to pose. We are a team, each of us knowing our part. This is true not just with photography but in our life as well; as best friends, we compliment and complete one another but most of all we just love each other.
