Yup, this is classic Squeegy. *s*

This really made me laugh.

Classic Squeegy

Dug up an oldie but a goodie of Squeegy. Sittin' on her butt in the sun with her tongue hanging out. Priceless.

Lobster Cat

This is just wrong.

How Phreaking hilarious is this picture??? LMAO

CSI Squeegy

I was looking through some old pictures tonight. I've always liked this closeup shot I got of Squeegy awhile back. I decided to see if I could actually see anything in the reflection of her eye. Yes indeed...there without too much problem, is me with the camera. I guess that's not really a big surprise with the amount of detail these things get nowadays. Take two minutes, a computer and volia...instant crime scene investigation! This is a good lesson people...never ever take pictures naked!!! Could be scary!

Squeegy Flashback

I played with this photo quite awhile back on Facebook. I just love it. It makes my heart smile and right now I could use a good dose of that.

I remember the day I took this picture. I was in the bedroom and noticed her looking at me through the patio door. I let out a little laugh and instantly ran for the camera...thinking the whole way...she's never going to be there when I get back! Low and behold, she was. Click.

What a cutie this cat is. You have no idea. :-)

LG Dare Videos Take One

This is the first video I've taken with my cell phone.
Hard to believe I haven't played with this yet.



Black and White setting on the phone. Too many
settings to play around with tonight. Just wanted
to see how basic video's turned out on this thing.




Back inside to get a shot of Squeegy.
Not bad considering there were no lights on in the condo.
Check out Squeegy on YouTube to see the larger version.

Pretty crazy to get this kind of quality off a cell phone.

Death Has A Price

Now that I can talk about Jasper's passing without crying I wanted to share what death costs these days.

Emergency Clinic in the wee hrs of the night to put your pet down. $255

If you want your pet's ashes after cremation that will run you another $150

If you would like a ceramic paw print in various colours that will be an additional $65

Can you say CHA CHING???

Day Two Without Jasper

I still have a hard time believing he's gone. Every time I go to pull out my computer chair to have a seat I expect him to be curled up and sleeping. Of course, he's not and it makes me a little sad all over again when I realize that. I know with time this pain will pass but for now...it is what it is. Squeegy doesn't seem overly different these past few days...ok...maybe a "tad" bit more cuddly than usual but that may be just my perception. I'm sure she is well aware that she's the only cat in the condo now and I'm pretty sure she's quite pleased with this "new" arrangement. She is also getting up there in age although I don't know exactly how old she is. She was already full grown when she stumbled upon the heated garage in the dead cold of winter. This December she will be approximately twelve. Knock on wood that I don't have to go through this weekend any time soon.

Jasper 1990 - 2008

We had to put Jasper down tonight. Having been through this before it sure doesn't get any easier. He didn't quite make his 18th Birthday. That would have happened on Aug. 21st.

Jasper, you were more like a dog than a cat and probably the most friendliest animal I have ever met. You will be greatly missed.

Tranquility in Whiteness

I am so grateful for my cats. Squeegy came and sat with me and I just happened to have the camera handy. Go figure. It doesn't matter how I'm feeling...the moment she comes to cuddle with me I instantly feel my entire body and mind relax and give a big sigh. My hope is that I can make her life as happy as she makes mine. *s*

Blog Name

People sometimes ask me...are your cats really blind? The simple answer is no. I just liked the sound of it like the old nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice".

The main blog picture is our 3 beloved kitties but one is no longer with us. The oldest Juda on the right, passed away almost two years ago (hard to believe it's been that long already). He was an old fart of 19 years and we adopted him when his owners were going to put him down. They couldn't find a home for his 11 year old stature as people wanted younger kittens. So we took the old man in and we thoroughly enjoyed him. Jasper the middle cat is 17 years old and still extremely active. He's getting cataracts though and his hearing is not so good. It makes getting his attention extremely difficult at times!!! We got him at Red's brother's farm way back when. He was a runt and his eyes were infected so we took him in. Little bugger drives us crazy each day with his little rituals but we love him to death. Squeegy on the left of the picture is the youngest at 11 years. She was a street cat that found her way into our heated garage in Camrose in the dead cold of winter. I was going to feed her and keep her warm till it got a little nicer out. Of course, she stayed and is one of the most adorable and photogenic cats I have ever encountered in my life (and trust me I've been around a few...I've had cats around me since childhood).

So there you have it. The cats are not "actually" blind although they do run into things from time to time. *s*

The Difference Between Dogs and Cats

I got this in an email today and actually read it. I don't usually read many of the jokes that constantly fill my inbox. I usually just gander a bit at the picture jokes. Today though...after work I came across this little gem that really struck me funny.

CAT DIARY

-Day 983 of my captivity.
-My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
-They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
-In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
-Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am. Hmmmm!
-There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
-Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
-I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

It's a tough life!

Squeegy is her name. Chillaxin' is her game.

Her resting position has moved from Red's shoulder to her computer desk lately. This cat is extremely photogenic and proudly poses when the camera gets pulled out.
