These Cats have my number!
They really have me figured out and know just how hard they can push. Though the boy does step over the line now and then. They have decided if I wake them up at night with my computer songs or noises, then I have to feed them. After all, that is what you are supposed to do when you get up, eat breakfast right? Then, the same holds true with their afternoon naps, and their morning naps. But, these multiple breakfasts are not to be confused with their right to their morning and evening meals. Oh, no. The don’t give an inch on those.
The two have it down real pat as to who does what. If I am at the computer, it is Clio who is to come and do the staring thing, jump up on the desk and rub my hands and then stretch up and pat me on the arm. Then if I am in bed, Dayton’s job is to get me up since it is harder to get me up from bed than from the computer. He comes in and rummages through everything that is out on any surface. Books are pawed through over and over, items on dressers and night stands are knocked off to the floor. The curtain in the windows is pushed back again and again letting in the deadly sunshine. The tops of my dressers and chests of drawers are very clean.
I have discovered it gets especially bad when the food is older. Food from freshly opened bags seem to hold them longer. Its kinda strange. Then food that is left in the dish for more than 6 hours is not considered food. Both the cats are very picky on freshness. They are not picky on food, though, they eat anything. Dayton taught Clio that. She used to only want to eat cat food, but when he came along and she saw him eating this other stuff, she was not going to let him get it all, the greedy little stinker.
MOVING ON
The cow came back!! She did not bring her calf but there she was in my back yard tonight when I started cooking supper. We must be on her circuit, the evening munchies so to speak. Though she does not like all the noise I made when cooking and digging through the pots and pans.
Again MOVING ON
Today is Mother’s day and I would like to share with you all a photo of my mother. This was taken when she was in her early 20’s if not earlier. The writing there says “Love, your Wife Phyllis” My father was in the service at the time and this must have been a photo she sent him while he was overseas.
I made this little photo cluster for all of you to download. Plus I added a couple of other pieces to make it worth the time. Do you recognize that bow? It is from the cu bows that are still available from several days ago.
Speaking of downloads, did any of you notice the button for downloading I have now! Is it not just too cool. Now I can just put the link on the post and you all don’t have to go anywhere and I still get to collect my stats I want on the downloads. I am totally in joy about this button. It means I don’t have to make one of those pages for every download either. Saves me time all around.
OK here is a preview of the download. It has two papers in newsprint style, several labels, a scalloped mat and the photo cluster. And it is Commercial Use OK. Enjoy!

Great clustered framing, cute downloadbutton and thank you so much. 🙂
wonderful freebie, thanks
Great LO!! Thanks for the freebie! 🙂
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. You are so kind to share.
You and I could swap cat stories. We have 3 of them. I’m glad the cows came back. I’m adding your blog to my google reader. I’ll know when you’ve updated then without the blog train. IGreat photo of your mother. I have recently got hold of my mum’s photos and the old photos are just so great.
great lo! your mom was HOT! your kitties sound like a hoot – my boy & girl cats have very different personalities, so they do the same kinds of things to us. love the freebee – have some plans for that one!
I loved your cat stories I can really relate having 2 cats myself.
Cats are so funny. lol. I love that phot of your mom! And you better bet I downloaded that freebie! You rock!
Thank you so much for these goodies!
Man, I hope my cats don’t learn from YOUR cats … I’d best not let any of them read your blog, LOL!
Although the other night one of kittens managed to get up on the steel shelving in my kitchen and knock down a jar of apple butter, which shattered and splattered all over the floor. UGH! But it was not for lack of food … I think it was general rambunciousness.
This is gorgeous. Can’t wait to try it. Love your layout of your mother. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing!
How beautiful! thank you for sharing.
Just so Beautiful.Thank you so much 🙂
Liked the circular mat. Enjoying hearing about the cats. Mine has just been fed and watered, and will come and jump on my lap and meow. “I know you want something … I’m sorry, I don’t know what you want.”
Just as bad. Food in the dish is okay. Same food, which fell on the floor — totally ignored!
thanks for your generosity, and nice freebies ! 🙂
What a fabulous share. I LOVE it as I have so many vintage photos waiting to be scrapped.
Thank you and hugs!
I’m just so jealous reading about your kitty kats!! I can’t wait until we move out of this apartment and into a house so we can have one (we have a ‘no pets allowed’ policy where we live unfortunately).
thank you for the wonderful freebie!!
