Waiting Wednesday

Well, I have 11 days until I get to meet my new brofur, Minchie Meow!!! I can't wait! I think I'll wait here by the door for him. Oh, yeah, Mom said this isn't the door he'll be coming through, but at least it's a door I can look out. teeheehee!

Mom is going to foster mom Sue's house Friday after Sue is finished volunteering at Buddy and will drop off a check and this time she'll remember the camera. Can you believe she forgot to bring it Monday! The scrapbookaholic forgetting a camera! Mom is going to go out and buy him a couple of scratching posts to use now and take them with her Friday so that when he comes "home" he'll have something familiar and will know where to sharpen those nails.

Sue said when Mom left Monday she was telling Minchie that he just met his new forever Mom and just knew she'd be calling back to say yes. She is furry excited! I just hope I can wait that long to meet him! I'm so excited! I will be a furry busy girl showing him the ropes here and making him feel welcome.

I think it's a done deal!!!

Well, Mom and I had a very long talk last night about her going to meet Minchie Meow. She wanted to sleep on it first, but I have a feeling she's going to be calling my foster Mom, Sue, today to tell her we want to adopt Minchie. He is a very handsome mancat!

When Mom first walked into his room he couldn't take his eyes off Mom. After a few minutes he came over to her, sniffed her and immediately started rubbing his head on her legs. That's a good sign! He even let her pick him up! He's silkie soft like me and a little longer haired than me. He is quite the talker, which is common in the Turkish Angora. I'm quite the talker too so I think Mom will be having to get some ear plugs. Since Sue knows me pretty well and now Minchie she thinks he's the best suited for me. He's very laid back and nothing seems to bother him. He checked out fine at the vet. He gets along very well with the other fosters Sue has so she knows he and I will get along famously. They don't know his exact age, but guess he's 4. Mom will go back to Sue's this week and give her a check and visit again just to make sure. Sue will cat sit for him until Mom can go pick him up, the earliest being the evening of July 5 because she is dog sitting at Rickie's house for 4 days. She wants to wait until she's home for good before introducing us.

I'm so excited and can't wait! It's been many, many years since Mom had a mancat. And of course she won't be changing his name because he's had it for a long time.

Meet Minchie Meow

Mom just got a call from my foster mom, Sue, and was telling her about a Turkish Angora named Minchie Meow. Just for the heck of it she did a google search and found his catster page!!! Isn't he gorgeous! A mancat! Mom is going to Sue's tonight to meet him and see if he would be a match for me. He's 4 years old, been neutered and comes with his own carrier and toys. His owner is being transferred out of the country. Mom can't take a kitty home until after the 4th of July holiday as she'll be away dog sitting but Momma Sue said she'd cat sit for us until it's time. Stay tuned!

Rest in Peace Sweet Naughty Norman

We just got an email from our very good friend Liz that her Naughty Norman went to the Rainbow Bridge today. We are just devastated by this news. We will never forget the day he was born. We know his daddy, Orion, was there to greet him at the Bridge. And our Cerise and Lilly too.

Naughty Norman was always quite the naughty one.

Meet Brutus

At the open house yesterday Mom was talking to her friend and volunteer at Buddy, Evie. Evie told her about Brutus, a 2 year old boy that had to be given back to Buddy because his daddy got transferred to South America and can't take him. Because there was so many people in and out he was very scairt and hid behind his way cool colorful cat bed. Mom is going to go back later in the week to meet him one on one and see if he may like to live with me. He didn't live with any other kitties but did have human kids he loved to play with. Mom's main concern is that he gets along with other kitties. He sort of looks like me only where I'm gray, he's black. And he has a pink nose and Momma loves pink noses! We'll see!

Sniffin, open house and a meme

To Mom's surprise, one day she found me behind the couch where my sister, Lilly, use to hang a lot. I thought if I closed my eyes and sniffed all over real hard she would come back to me. So far she's still MIA.

Mom is going to the open house today of the brand new shelter The Buddy Foundation finally got built. That is where she adopted me from. She says eventually my new brother/sister will come from there. She's going to scout out who is there now see if our brick has been laid that we bought.

My sister Pumuckl has tagged me for a Meme!

Rules:
1.be honest
2.tag other people
3. have fun!

What is your name? Laila Ali, Laila for short. I was named after Laila Ali from when she was on "Dancing With the Stars". She was mom's favorite and is so beautiful.

If you could change your name what would it be? I luvs my name! I wouldn't change it.

What is your pet's name? Mommie

If you could change your pet's name what would it be? I wouldn't

What is your brother or sister's name? It was Lilly. My sister left me for the Bridge on June 5th. I miss her very much and am so lonely. Mom has promised me she will find me another sister or brother soon.

If you could change their name what would it be? I wouldn't. Lilly and Laila sounded so cool. We use to laugh at Mom because she would get "tongue tied" and call us by our wrong name some times. teeheehee!

We aren't going to tag anyone for this meme so if anyone wants to do it, please feel free! It as a fun meme!

Feather Friday

So, what do you think of my feather hat? It can't compare to Daisy's fabulous fashions, but I think I look cute.

Thankful Thursday

Auntie Holly and the catstreetboyz sent this beautiful silk lily and card yesterday. The kitty on the card looks just like my sister!

Mom has a little shrine in the bedroom for Binky Baby, one who came before, and thought it would be nice to keep Lilly's lilies there. Binky Baby and Lilly were sisters and great friends. Auntie Holly also sent us the collector plate on the wall. She is such a cat angel! We are so glad she and the boyz are our friends.

And they sent me this way cool pyramid cat bed! I was very busy sniffing it out and could smell lots of kitty and doggie smells on it.

Here I am checking out the pouch on the side with nip in it! I also got a bunch of way cool toys too! Thank you Auntie Holly and all the boyz for always being there for us and helping us through these hard times. One of these days we ARE going to meet in person!

Cerise left for the Bridge a year ago

This is my sister, Cerise, who I never knew. She was the sister of Lilly who lived together for a very long time. She was 17 1/2 when she went to the Bridge. Momma's heart is still broken from losing her.

Mom loved to dress Cerise up in silly things and she was so sweet to let her.

I have a very big job right now for such a little girl. All those pieces of Momma's heart that I'm trying to pick up. But Momma says I'm doing an excellent job. Tonight we will light a candle in Cerise's memory.
