Thursday Thirteen: Leo and Cecil Edition

THURSDAY THIRTEEN!!

YAY it's THURSDAY! That means it is CECIL BLOGGY DAY!! I hope you are as excited as I am!

Today I am going to share my Thursday 13 with Leo the Lion! Mommie says that he is my big brother who went to the bridge before me. She says I probably would have bugged him a lot, but that he would have taken care of me anyway. So I am going to let Leo have half of my 13: he will say 7 things about himself and then I will say 6 things I did this week!

LEO THE LION:

Fanks Cecil, this is a very nice purrthday gift to give me. I am excited to post on your blog! I hope that everyone likes me! Here we go....

1. I am my Mommie's first cat.
   
   
2. I raised Timby, my Grandma's cat, acause Mommie and I still lived with her when he came home (Mommie was only 13 years old). He eventually gotted way bigger than me!
   
   
3. I like to stand up tall like a mongoose.
   
   
4. I was really sad when my Mommie lefted for college without me. I tried to sneak away in one of her boxes. I am glad she eventually moved out of her freshman dorm into an apartment and broughted me to her! We were never meant to be apart!
   
   
5. I really love to lay in the sunbeams!
   
   
6. I also really love to lay on top of nice warm, clean laundry when it comes out of the dryer!
   
   
7. And sometimes I like to make funny faces. Do you like my funny face? My ear is doing something funny too!
   

And now let me bring your attention back to me, CECIL THE COUGAR!

Here are 6 fun things I did this week!

1. I made a MESS of my food bowls!
   
   
2. Made super stinky poops so that Mommie had to clean my litter box early! Here I am telling Mommie, "go on maid, clean the box and add new litter!"
   
   
3. I went out onto the screened in patio and looked at things!
   
   
   I saw a lot of GREEN:
   
   
   
4. I acted cute for the camera so that Mousie would continue to fink I am Cexi Cecil
   
   
5. I put big bitey marks into Mommie's lotion so that now it comes out in many different places. I thought this would be helpful, but Mommie wasn't too happy.
   
   
6. ...and the fing I did most was fink about how grateful I am to everyone who encouraged Mommie to let me stay! It is taking me a long time to fank each person individually acause I am doing it in secret. I went over to Zoolatry and they helped me find some really cool outfits since I am now in the Secret Cat-Service!
   
   

Did I fool you??? These are very good disguises!!!

Fanks for visiting everycat, woofie, and bean! I am so grateful to all of you for being my furriends!

Until next Thursday,

Cecil

PS:

Cecil: knock knock
Mom: Who's there?
Cecil: Cecil
Mom: Cecil who?
Cecil: Cecil the Cougar, not Cecil-Poo or C-Poo so stop calling me that!!!

Leo's Story

Hi everycat!

As you know, I will be making my Thursday 13 tomorrow, and I is very very excited! A special guest will also be making a Thursday 13 on my bloggie tomorrow... I cannot tell you who it is just yet!

I wanted to make this special post because Mommie has been feeling a little bit sad this past week. See this Saturday, May 3rd, would be Leo the Lion's 10th purrthday. I fink many of you know that Leo is the Great Kitty who Came Before Me. She was looking through some old pictures last night and also came across Leo's story that she wrote so that she would never, ever forget.

Leo had Chronic Renal Failure. Everyone who is signed up for the Mewsletter will be able to read all about this common disease in the issue that comes out at Midnight tonight.

But Mommie wants to post Leo's story. She wonders if anyone else has dealt with a kitty who has CRF and what kind of treatments they were/are on. If you have time, you can read Leo's story here. Mommie finally feels ready to talk about it, but she doesn't know anyone else who has experienced this before. She figured the blogosphere was the best place to find someone to talk to.

Fanks,

Cecil

Furriendly Furriday!

Today I am foregoing my mews article to help my Mommie. I am also going to introduce you to some furriends of mine!

First to Mommie... In lieu of all that I have reported to her about the bounty on cats in Iowa and O-HI-O, she has decided to plan a fundraiser to help spay/neuter local feral colonies here. This will also help bring attention to the shelter/low cost clinic that she volunteers at, which is Cats Exclusive! She needs your help in deciding where to host her fundraiser. Should it be a bowl-a-thon? She wants to do something that is fun and fambly oriented. Peas comment and help her come up with a place to host it! If you are in the south Florida area, you can volunteer to help! My Mommie always needs lots of help, sometimes she is a little crazy.

Now to introduce you to some of my furriends...

This is what I like to call a Tubby Timby


And this is what I like to call a Tiggly Wiggly

His name is really Tigger and he is an 8th Generation Bengal

They has known each other many years and live with my Grandma!

I think you can sees that they is spoilt

Timby is on a diet, right Grandma???? The V-E-T said that he is obese and is at risk for diet-beet-ee's so he has to get in shape! Right now he would make a good meal for a vishus deer!

And this very speshul kitty with the big smile on his face is Leo the Lion

He is the Great Kitty that Came Before Me, he was also my Mommie's first kitty. She gots him when she was much younger. He actually helped raise Timby but that was a long time ago. Later he went back to being Mommie's only baby when she moved out for college.

He went to the rainbow bridge last August right after Mommie's birthday and right before I was borned. He had CRF, but that is all I know. My Mommie still does not like to talk about it. She says he is my guardian angel though! So he is Leo the Lion and I am Cecil the Cougar.

I hope you have enjoyed meeting my furriends that are not part of the blogosphere!

Oh and um...

Just to remind you that I is still the lead kitty of this blog!

Even when I was an itty bitty baby cat, I was still as fierce of a real cougar! See my back paws, I am about to pounce and kill!

Until tomorrow,

Cecil

PeeEss: Please don't forget to say where Mommie should have her fundraiser!
