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!
How dare "someone" try to "outshine" your gifts!! They can try all they want, but NOBODY and NOTHING can outshine YOU!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to your Mama!!

Fin, your mother's day gifts were superb!! Nobody could outdo you so whoever left that bird was just trying to cause trouble!! Happy Mother's Day!!! Lots of love, Holly & Mom
ReplyDeleteUh oh, you think Mittens was the culprit? Wishing your Mom a very happy remainder of Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to your Mom from our house to yours, Fin. You really are a thoughtful one to do all those things for your Mom.
ReplyDeleteWell where else is the phrase 'Mana from Heaven' so appropriately used if not for today?

hmmm. Are you SURE a dedded birdum didn't simply drop from the sky? It *could* happen...
ReplyDeleteFin 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.
You are so thoughtful Fin! Happy Mother's Day to you Mom!!!
ReplyDeletehmmm...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-
ReplyDeletePip, Smidgen, Minnie, and HOllie
Fin, That's because your mom is so popular ! Extra Gift must be increase, But I guess you can have a bite before mom take it for breakfast : )
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your mommy have a wonderful day together.
Happy Mommy's Day
Love
xoxo
Happy Mother's Day to your mum.
ReplyDeleteFin, are you sure you don't have a mancat friend who may have left it as a gift for you?
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.
ReplyDeleteA furry Happy Mother's Day to your Mom from all of us!!

Your mother deserves your gift for breeding such a thoughtful you!
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable thoughts for your mother.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteFin, 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!!
ReplyDeleteWe think your Mom must have been very happy with your gifts of love today, Fin.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, Fin! Your gift was so good, there's no way anyone could do better. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
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.
ReplyDeletesounds like a lotta love you gave your Mom!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mommy's Day to all the Mommy's!
ReplyDeleteMe 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!
Kisses

Fin dear,
ReplyDeleteA dead bird? Who would dare such a thing? Whoa! You got some serious competition there, Fin. purrr....meow!
No one could outshine you, gorgeous Finny!...We hope you and your lovely Mommy enjoyed a wonderful "Happy Mother's Day" together...Have a fun week, sweetie...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteFinny, yoo are the apple of yoor mom's eye ~ erm ... well the cat of her eye then! Happy Mother's Day to your lovely mom!
ReplyDeleteFin, 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.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very good cat! Happy Mothers day for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.

Fin are you sure the birdie for your mom's birthday wasn't from an admirer?
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Happy Mother's Day to your mom, Fin! It sounds like you took extra special care that she have a wonderful day. (We love that picture of you, by the way.)
ReplyDeleteAwww 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.
ReplyDeleteFin..you sound like a good kitty. Your very Handsome. Sounds like you and your mom had a great day.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have a good week too!
