TROPICAL CAT ART SUNDAY

Mickey and I on the white sand beach by our resort.

At the San Francisco airport I saw these vintage posters of CATalina Island.
Very colorful and artistically pleasing to my eyes.
These tropical friends I met are butterfly Koi and are over 2 feet long! I have never seen such beautiful fish! Lapdaddy has a pond with Shubunkin in them but they are not this big. Fish are friends:)
Here are some more native dancers for your enjoyment. Join me all this week for more dancing and lots of sightseeing. I had the vacation of a lifetime and love to share the beauty of this island with you...

LAVA LAVA LOMI LOMI LUAU

The beautiful island dancer thought I was over the top cute!

Mommy thought the handsome island dancer was over the top cute:)

This is me on the lava fields in south Maui that date back to the last flow of Haleakala in 1790. You can see the dormant volcano in the back at over 10,000 feet. It is reported that it might become active again at any time!! YIKES!
At the Luau I enjoyed a Mai Tai Nipteenie and another tropical blossom in my fur.
After the emu was opened and the roasted pig removed, it was time to eat! My favorite was the pulled pork and Lomi Lomi Salmon. Chicken, steak, mahi mahi and Hawaiian macaroni~potato salad and rice rounded out the menu. Everything tasted delicious!
Soon the show began and I had a purrrfect front row seat! I made a lot of cool new friends that night.
Here I am making sure mini me is doing a good job...

This is the best luau I have ever been to. I can highly recommend the Maui Sunset Luau at the Maui Prince Resort!

TROPICAL TRAVEL JOURNAL

I have a bit of jet lag still and keep falling asleep. As you can see below I had jet lag when I arrived in Maui too! I was welcomed to the isle with a fragrant plumeria blossom that I tucked behind my ear.
I have never smelled a bloom so sweet...don't you love it's tender colors!
My first adventure was at Hilo Hatties! I opened up this oyster and look what treasures it held inside! Two beautiful pearly white pearls...they also gave me this shell necklace called a lei.
The next day I went to the lava fields and to a Luau...please come back and see what fun I had with the beautiful Hawaiian dancers.

SO GOOD TO BE HOME ON MAY DAY!!

Hello everybody! I am home again safe and sound with my beans! Thank you for all of your purrrayers and visits...they have worked their magic because I ate my food and was very happy at the kitty resort. I did only have one thing on my mind as you can see from the photo mommy took of me below:)
I had a great holiday with lots of good luck from this kitty I met at the helicopter place.
Maui is a tropical paradise and I will enjoy showing this Valley Isle to you over the next few weeks. Right now I need to catch up on all of the news in the Cat Blogosphere and visit the kitties who are sick...and I have to catch up on my sleep of course! A very wise girl from Kansas once said, "There is no place like home!"

I am overjoyed to be back with all of you again...my family!

CAT ART SUNDAY ON GOING TO MAUI!

United Airlines will take the beans away to Maui. Mommy was dressed years ago for this occasion when she was eight.

My good friend Angus Mhor showed me how to TRANSMORGIFY...so this is how I am getting to come along with them on their adventure to the tropics! Do you like the cute little mini me. She even has the very same blaze and my frootbat ears. He furs are buttery soft like mine. Yes, I do think this will work!
I have my four bikini tops packed to cover up all the little bits and the sun screen lotion...a redhead can never be too careful in the sun! That is Pixie there with me. She can eat all of the bananas she wants now!!
I am going to take hula lessons from a great island legend Queen Anastasia of Hawaiian White Ginger Blossom... I will miss you all so unbearably much while I am away. I would ask that you please purrray for me so that I will be well and do not get sick again like last year. Mommy is very worried about this! I will be home again next Wednesday. I pray you all will be safe and happy while I am gone. Mahalo<

STUFFED AND SILLY ON SATURDAY! HEY IT IS LAPDADDIES BIRTHDAY TODAY!!

Well by now most of you know how many places I have slept in, my frying pan, the litter girls room box, my blue fuzzy, the crinkle sack for three nano seconds (that's why it is up for auction until midnight today!)...but this snozzzzing place....well it tops them all!

DO you think mommy is rather well endowed:)?

This is the entry way.

What did you say mommy...you feel like you are pregnant!?

OK here is your 4 and a half pound baby!

Do you see this beautiful ginger baby squillion watching over me as I sleep on my beautiful Gizzy quilt! If you biggy the photo, you can read the cool card that came with it! Thank you ever so much...now Alice has a new friend. I am going to name her Hazel!

Today is my Lapdaddies birthday and my beans wedding anniversary! They are very happy with each other here in the cozy cottage...we wish all the people in the world could be so happy and have a nice cat like me:)

FURRLESS FRIDAY!

We all agree that eating is a very important part of any kitty cats day. No matter if one is 15 years old...

Or a newborn kit!
These beautiful Sphynx kittens are just born to mom Rita. Three boys and one little precious girl named Dreamy. They belong to Diana Nelson who gave me to mommy way back in 2001.
Dreamy looks just like her mommy Rita. She looks like a very healthy promising little kitten. It will be fun to watch her grow up.

Mommy is packing up colorful clothes things into her suitcase...I am still trying to figure out a way to get to go along. Angus had an idea on his blog that I think I might explore a little more...

What do you think?

MOMMY WAS BUSY...SO JUST IN CASE, I HELPED MYSELF!

Yes, your HONOR, I did help myself! Mommy was busy wandering around outside and would not help me blog. So I did it. I printed put my blog all by myself. Do you believe me?

Creeping phlox, tulips, grape hyacinths are in bloom and the iris and peonies are stretching themselves taller.
See! I did a good job! Bigafy and look at the page numbers in the upper right corner.
The Mommy here: As I was coming back into the house, I heard the printer going. It seems Miss Peach was sitting on my Laptop and decided to print out her blog. ALL OF IT! See those page numbers? I stopped the printer at page three...goodness what was she thinking! I can not leave her alone for a minute before she takes matters into her own paws!
