Late August


It's PO'Monday!

August 26, 2012, and Celestial Paddy O'Malley hadn't a care in the world.


Except for the crazy human who kept snapping pics of him as he chillax'd...silly human!

 I beg to differ with you, Pommy; I have all of these fantastic photos of you that I will treasure forever.

Twenty-Two

The Hubby and I became cat pawrents when we brought Angel and Chuck home on August 29, 2004.

Angel and Chuck, December 2004

Chuck, January 2005

Both, February 2005

Angel, February 2005

What we didn't know about cats at that time would have filled The Encyclopaedia Britannica, but we loved 'em, and we've continued to honor their legacy by adopting both inside and outside cats over the years.

You could say that Celestial Angel and Chuck were our starter cats!

❤️ Love you both! ❤️

For Caturday, I artified one of the images above with Prisma, the Moonlight filter.

Need A Nap

When I put this post together on Thursday, I hadn't yet stayed up into the wee hours of Friday, watching the lunar eclipse.

Knowing that I'll be sleep-deprived, I gathered a few cat napping sillies for your enjoyment:


If I have any good eclipse images, I'll add them after I've consumed some caffeine.


It was cloudy for hours, and managed a few snaps before the clouds rolled back in.
Enjoyed spending time in the quiet early hours.
Then, I slept in until almost lunchtime!

Going Bananas

August 27 is Banana Lovers Day, and I am thankful for the yellow tropical berry that's sold as fruit!

We eat bananas almost every day.

A few sillies for your amusement:
WANT!
Betcha I could get Henry to wear it.

Of course I found a Bananahenge!

Found this homage to Comedian (banana taped to a wall) by Maurizio Cattelan in Detroit, Michigan.
A statement about how the average person perceives the 'important news' that is publicized.

My breakfast while visiting Bath, England a few years ago.
Banana and oatmeal, with other yummy vegan stuff.
I believe at least one of my travelling companions had a full English, while I had to have my banana!

Gone To The Woofies

August 26 is International Dog Day.

A few sillies found that celebrate...or make fun of...our doggo friends.

Brown Bear

It's Twozday, and we'll focus on Chili Bruce.

King of the Front Window.

Sitting on his brofur in the double-wide scratcher.

Sleeping on MY kitchen chair.

His full name is Chili Bruce Lee.

CB's nicknames:

Brown Bear
Chills
Bowl Licker
Red Hot Chili Dog

Things you may not know about Chili:

-The Hubby has worked hard and long to get CB comfortable with being held like a baby.

-Chili often naps on my kitchen chair, while Manny uses The Hubby's.

-Chili Bruce rare walks away from any cat food that he's offered, and he licks his bowl clean EVERY MEAL.

-Chili loves to lick the remnants of raw almond butter, oil, or salad dressing from his human's dinnerware, and has munched on cooked broccoli and cauliflower.

-If a human is supine on the futon, CB will climb onto your chest.  He'll nap there, but beware if there is a noise or some activity that makes him launch off in a split-second, usually with claws out.  OOF!

Sharing Style

It's PO'Monday, and we are comparing:

August, 2015
Celestial Paddy O'Malley, chillaxin'.

August, 2026
Henry, with no worries.

August, 2019
PO'M using The Hubby as a security blanket.

August, 2026
Henry using me as a prop.

You may understand why I call him Henry O; he's channeling Pommy's style.

~~~

Henry health update:

The veterinarian called with test results on Friday.

He's gained 1/2 a pound, which indicates that his intestines are absorbing food and nutrients, and that the chemo and medicines are helping.

His liver values are better, but still not quite where she wants them to be, so his double dose of antibiotics is back in the med rotation as soon as the orders arrive.

Follow up appointment in a month.

Six of ten chemo treatments completed.

#7 is Tuesday, September 1.

❤️

Happy 35th Independence Day, Ukraine.

Ukraine began celebrating its independence from Russia annually on August 24, 1991.

Here's hoping the ongoing war there ends soon.

In fact, let's just stop warring all together, folks.

We are all better than this.

Must Stay Focused

Some Henryville humor:

Good luck, Sir Knight!

Are you sure he didn't spit it out again, Captain Kirk?

I wish...

Pill a cat!
(Thanks, ET!)

Gentled

It's Caturday!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley, in March, 2021, sitting on my lap.

Prisma app, with the Femme filter, adding zhuzh. 

The last artified pic of The PO'M made a difficult puzzle, so this is kinder.

Bossy

It's Formerly Feral Friday.

Henryville has been hopping!

Sultry.

Henry, in charge.

"Hey, I'm sleeping here!"

Although we don't yet have the blood and urine test results yet as of this post, the Monday vet visit was inciteful.

We discussed each of his meds, his food, and his habits, including loose stools.

The vet gave me prescriptions for specialty foods, for cats with intestinal woes.

Before traveling that path, we decided to see if he'd enjoy the canned food that Manny and Chili Bruce eat, and what Henry used to lick up before he didn't.

I opened a can, and Henry ate it down.

And he ate the next bowl, and the next.

Guess what I found deposited in the litter box Thursday morning?

Tootsie rolls, if that's not too graphic.

Of course, Thursday afternoon, he's avoiding that food.

What a sassy, bossy cat!

He's doing this his way, and his humans and veterinarian need to get used to it.

Will accept this cattitude; perhaps it means he's feeling better.

Strike A Pose

August 19 is World Photography Day.


A few sillies in honor of the day:

"Smile for the birdy!"

On purpose!

For Henry, I'd have to attach a churu lickable tube. 

See what happens when you think you're a photographer, making a good shot! 😹

August 12, 2026 Partial Solar Eclipse, image snapped while in my backyard.
We had 3% coverage here, and the clouds just kept blowing past.
It was fun to watch, even it appeared to only be a tiny nibble.
Included today because it's a photo without a cat...hahaha!
