Happy Mother's Day


It's Mother's Day here in the US, the day where we give thanks to the Mothers we love. I of course gave the most thoughtful gift, myself. I allowed Mom to loll about in the bed till almost seven am (naturally she'd already gotten up to feed me at five am - it's a special day, but I gotta have a full tank).

I then graced her with a leisurely lap snuggle, with paw holding. When I got up, and she wasn't looking, I took a few licks out of her water cup, gotta keep her healthy and she gets squeamish about the healing powers of cat spit. Odd, I know.

I played killer kitty with my swing toy. Mom loves that. Then we went out on the porch to check the crop (mini squashes and tomatoes are growing already!).

And then we saw it.

Someone seems to have left a dead, yet un-mauled birdy on My Porch... It wasn't my doing. Seems like somecat was trying to outshine my gifts. Luckily Mom is a pacifist.

Happy Mother's Day!

  1. How dare "someone" try to "outshine" your gifts!! They can try all they want, but NOBODY and NOTHING can outshine YOU!

    Happy Mother's Day to your Mama!!

  6. hmmm. Are you SURE a dedded birdum didn't simply drop from the sky? It *could* happen...

    Fin we're wishing your Mom a Happy Mommy Day from MomKat Trish and the crew at the Katnip Lounge!

    um, can we have the birdy if your Mom doesn't want it? For scientific purposes, of course.

  8. hmmm...could Mittens be trying to worm his way in? We're glad your mom wasn't impressed by the interloper's gift, Fin. Sounds like you and your mom are having a nice day :). Happy Mother's Day to her from all of us-

    Fin, are you sure you don't have a mancat friend who may have left it as a gift for you?

  11. Fin, it sounds like Mittens is really trying to move in on your human!! You are very lucky she does not like that kind of gift.

  15. You are very thoughtful to give your mom such special treatment on Mother's Day. We're not surprised that somekitty left a gift for her on your porch. It's obvious that you have trained your mom so well that other kitties in the neighborhood are trying to woo her.

  16. Fin, you gave your mom such a great gift! No cat can out-do you...some half deaded bird ain't gonna do it!! Happy Mother's Day to your mom!!

  18. Not to worry, Fin! Your gift was so good, there's no way anyone could do better. :)

    Happy Mother's Day!

  19. Oh wow, it could have been Mittens trying to steal your mom's heart! Sometimes birdies around here eat stuff that makes them drunk...like berries and stuff and it makes them fly into windows and then they go splat! Maybe that happened. I'd hiss at Mittens just in case.

    Me let my Mommy sleep in too. But its always the hairy slobbery sisters that gets Mommy up anyway. Me helped Daddy make breakfast and made sure that there was cat hair in the eggs!

  25. Fin, that was so kind of you to give Mom all those gifts yesterday. What great Mother's day she must have had. You are just so thoughtful. We are sure she liked your gifts much better than that deaded bird. Have a great week.

  27. Oh Fin! How terrible, that 'somecat really has a nerve I tell Ya! I'm sure your Mom was not impressed by that gross display. You are a good cat-always there for your Mom and letting her take care of you. I hope you have a sunpatch day.

  30. Awww Fin, you know you are your mom's pride and joy!! Bet it was Mittins trying to say thanks for all the fun. Glad you got to play Killer kitty, I like that game too with my cats, and my dog. Yup, even my Corgi thinks a cats life is the bestest! :) Hope you all had a great Mothers day.
