Happy Gotcha Day, Sweet Missy

Today is the day, a few years ago, you came to live with us.
I thought you were the most beautiful cat I had ever seen...
but wasn't really sure about getting a cat!

Now, six cats later, I can see how you completely changed my life.
So glad you came to live with us, Missy Blue Eyes.
And I still think you are the most beautiful cat I have ever seen.

Along with KC, Faith Boomerang, Sol, Smokey and BJ. Hee hee.

Fankful Thursday with Faith Boomerang

Look at all that floof...
and Faith Boomerang loves her Furminator, we use it daily!!!

Wordless Wednesday - Smokey

Thanks...

Thank you for all the cards, greetings, comments... for everything.
I almost don't mind being a year older!
Thank you for making this birthday extra-special.

This card was hand drawn by Cindy of Dusty Rose Designs.
If you look, you can pick out each one of my cats in this great sketch.

These are from Cindy's handmade items at Dusty Rose.
My very favorite design and colors,
pale aqua glaze and white porcelain.
I got large and small urchin bowls and a small "alien" pot.
The adorable spoons are both a white coral and shell design.
(The quarter is shown for perspective)

Zoolatry's human, Ann, sent me a set of fantastic cards.
The first shows beautiful Missy Blue Eyes.

The second shows the two tortie girls.

Then, the boys!

And last, the whole Sherwood Bunch, all together.
Aren't those great!

Ann also made the birthday graphic for my blog yesterday,
for the other blogs, and the sea shell graphic above.
I'm still dazed and dazzled by all the attention.
To think, I actually thought no one would notice my birthday.

Thanks so much, everyone. ~ML

Pee Ess: Stop by and see Wendy's LOL Spot for funny Sherwood Cats.

Happy Birthday, Mommy ML

WE LOVE YOU!

Fankful Friday with BJ

BJ is still loving his gift from Ginger-Jasper
(see post Wednesday, 5/13/2010).
If you can see, he is chasing the elusive laser light.
The chase began with him in his house and
progressed to him on the house.
When this game was over,
he pulled the house up on the couch
and got inside.
BJ is very thankful for this great gift.

Thoughtful Thursday with Missy Blue Eyes

What is she thinking about?

Tortie Toosday - KC

Mancat Monday - BJ

(hoover the mouse over the graphic for a hidden message from BJ)

Straw Hat Day for The Sherwood Bunch

(Had to include Charlie Taylor since he was in the first Straw Hat Day with the family. It just wouldn't feel right without him.)

Formerly Feral Friday - Missy Blue Eyes

We got this big basket.
We were going to use it on the desk to hold mail and stamps, things like that.
But that didn't work out.

Thankful Thursday - Sol

Look at Sol's handsome face.
Remember when he was a kitten, and we thought he was a girl
and named "her" Solitaire Noir?
We will always be very thankful for our three rowdy boy cats:
Sol, Smokey and BJ.

Wordless Wednesday - BJ's Gift From Ginger-Jasper

(Hoover the mouse pointer over the photos for "secret" messages)

Totally Tabby Toosday - Missy Blue Eyes

Mancat Monday - Smokey

Mancat Monday snoozing on a brand new Hairy Blankie. Yup, life is good.
~Smokey

(This is a repeat photo post from earlier last week, but Smokey wanted to show everyone he is still using the blankie. Well, when KC and Sol aren't using it!)

Happy Momma's Day

We Sherwood Bunch kitties wish all Mommies* a furry Happy Day today.

Love & Purrs from
Missy Blue Eyes

have been announced on the Cat Blogosphere.

We will pick two winners from all tha comments:

a brand noo Furminator (Angel and Kirby)
plus, KC has a specshul surprize fur someone (?)!

KC now uses a random-number generator written by Mom ML.
This became necessary because the kitties kept eating the little pieces of paper used in the drawings. Mom ML worried about the integrity of the drawings if the entries were eaten in advance. Not to mention the effects of paper and ink on a kitties tummy!
Each comment is given a number in sequential order.
Deleted comments do not count.
Winning kitties need to contact KC with a mailing address for their goodies.
