Filling you in.

Hello friends.

If you are stopping by to catch up on Jeter, I can only tell you that he is close by, but not coming home daily. We're expecting snow, so I'm hopeful that he will come home later today.

Joba made the ultimate sacrifice for Jeter. He's home from the v-e-t and he smells great!

My mom checks the front, back, and roof for Jeter all day long. It's frustrating for her ... but she's trying to understand what he is going through.

Thank you for your concern.

Mickey

ps ... Hi Marilyn. I send you whisker-kisses

A Saturday Tale

front end ...

rear end ...
and that's today's "tale" from Mickey!

I still have IT

Let me see ...

Yes ... I can just about ...
pull myself to the top!
I still have "IT" Marilyn ...

A salute from some great friends

Look what I found on Zoolatry!

It's a beautiful thing!

Thank you to my friends Maggy, Zoey, and (of course) Ann!

It lessens the sting of not having the Yankees in the play-offs this year!

I have something to say

I haven't posted in quite a while.

But I have something to tell you.

I've lost my voice.

First I was hoarse ... then I lost my voice.

This has been difficult because I love to use my voice. I talk all the time.

I was having some trouble keeping my food down, too.

But that seems to have passed.

I still have my purr ... and I'm using it right now.

I came in through the bathroom window this morning ... I can still climb up to the roof and request window entry to the house!

So that's it.

I thought you should know.

Congratulations to "Chairman" and Mrs. Mao

The fabulous couple tied the knot at 1:00 today.

My brother Jeter and I were honored to be a part of the wedding party.

The bridesmaids were all very beautiful ...Marilyn took my breath away, though.

Marilyn ... you are magnificent!

I'm looking forward to the reception.

My close-up

Marilyn ... it has been too long ...

A few things for Marilyn

NOMS Day

Just want to wish my NOMS Friend Titus

a very happy NOMS Day!

You're a great whitester Titus!

A triolet for Marilyn ...

For Marilyn ... my Floofiferous Kittypie

>^..^<

My days are filled with thoughts of you ...

my floofy girly-girl.

Fast beating heart ... I can't subdue!

My days are filled with thoughts of you!

And here's a sight that is brand new ...

you make my whiskers curl!

My days are filled with thoughts of you ...

my floofy girly-girl.

Writer's block ... day squillion

My writer's block continues ...

Marilyn ... I'm so sorry.

My brother Jeter, however, has some lovely poetry on his blog today.

... And this is what my brother Whitey thinks of Jeter's poetry.

Yikes! That doesn't look good, does it?

Writer's block

Marilyn wrote the most beautiful poem for me ...

I have writer's block ...

but I am working on a little something that I should be able to publish soon.

Tuesday

Marilyn ... don't give up on your mom helping you with your blog.

I'm sending you flowers from my garden ...

... can we meet once a week on our blogs to exchange poetry ... or posies?

Saturday

Happy happy ... Joy joy!

My mom is back from Florida!

Finally, a properly mashed breakfast and dinner!

(I'm back Marilyn!)

I'm ready for my close-up

OK ... Mom is addicted to her new camera.

She's trying all kinds of shots.

Yesterday she was working on close-ups.

I was on my back with all fours in the air.

It's my favorite position.

What do you think Marilyn?

Action Shot!

Here I am exercising in the backyard.

I like to jog to keep in shape.

I wish I could jog all the way to Tennessee to snuggle with my Kittypie.

Mancat Monday

Mom has a new camera ... and she's trying it out.

Here I am relaxing.

She took about a thousand shots ... all the same.

Friday

The heat wave broke ...

and it's beautiful here in New York.

I'm enjoying the cool morning ... and thinking of my Kittypie.

I'm also thinking of Storm and her family.

Trying to get comfortable

HOT!

I know that Jeter has told you all about it ... but I have to say ... IT'S HOT!

That is my brother Whitey Ford in the picture with me yesterday.

He doesn't like his picture taken ... so usually all you get it his handsome white back.

How I relax on a hot Sunday afternoon

My Furninator

This is my furminator.

I love it!

And after a good grooming ...

There's nothing like a good roll in the sand ...

A whitester couldn't ask for anything better!

Teeth on Tuesday

I was worried about Marilyn.

Toothaches are not fun.

But I'm glad she's home and feeling well...

and flashing a gleamingly toothy smile.

These are for you Marilyn.

Love ... Mick

furminator friday

I have a furminator!

But I don't have my camera handy ...

so you'll have to take my word for it ...

I Love It!

(And Mom combed out enough pure white fur to make Skeezix an exceptional new toupee.)

Tuesday

For Marilyn.

Planting

I helped my mom with some planting yesterday.

one row of red impatiens ... one row of white ...

I was enjoying the morning until ...

a dog named Murray stopped by.

That's it! I was finished.

Saturday

I am surveying my patio that was power washed yesterday. It will get a sand-fill today.

It looks very nice.

I'm also keeping an eye on that tuxie cat who is waiting for breakfast.

I don't know how I feel about him/her spending time in my backyard.

I would prefer a beautiful, white kittygirl.

The little girl holding my brother Whitey and me is turning 21 today!

Happy Birthday Deb!

Jump and Shout

Yes Friends. I'm participating in the "Jump and Shout Contest" sponsored by Kimo and Sabi.

This is my entry. It was taken a few years ago when I was a younger Whitester.

The guinea pig and I were having a race ... and I decided to jump over him!

I was a great athlete in those days.

hmmmm

That picture of me on Jeter's blog was absolutely ...

ridiculous!

I certainly don't look like that.

everycat knows ... the camera adds 10 pounds!

(or more!)

hmmmm.
