Floofy Flashback

Dang, I was darling as a kitten.

So friends, I'm still on the mend, and getting stronger. I have had lots of time to think and I've made a big decision. I think it's time for me to retire, kick up my paws and let Mom run the show from now on.

Mom has dreamed of having a little blog of her own for awhile now, someplace where she can shake off the fur and be human. Until recently I still had so much to say, and there's only so much time in a day, that I held my paw down and denied her request. Now I feel like the time is right to make the transition. Of course her life isn't nearly as exciting as mine, I'm a loved housecat - the best life a cat could want.

We hope you'll decide you like her voice too - oddly enough, it sounds a lot like mine. Go figure. We're going to try work it all out this weekend, and give you all the details very soon at my official retirement party. Hope you'll come and celebrate with us! Have a great weekend friends.

  1. You were a very cute kitten!

    Maybe you can guest post on your mom's blog from time to time. That is what I do. I had my own blog, but I was too busy/lazy to keep up with it. We will read your mom's blog.

    Love Scout and his Mama

  2. What a cutie you were and you are still a beautiful ladycat!

    We agree with Scout - maybe you can post some on your mom's new blog. We'll miss you.

  3. Fin you deserve a break if that is what you want. I am so very glad you are on the mend still and hope you will post to your mom's blog on occassion. You know we all love you and will miss you, but TOTALLY understand wanting to bask in the sun puddles all day! :) I will be back to visit your retirement party and find out all about your mom's new blog.

  4. Fin, you've had a long, fabulous career and if you want to retire, I suppose it is your prerogative. I am just glad you're getting better. But get this, MY human keeps kevetching about wanting her own blog - and I have no retirement plans right now! I'm sure your human has some interesting things to say, but I am not so sure about mine. Maybe I am not keeping her busy enough.

  5. Aw, I just found you recently and love you already. I'm a little sad that you want to retire, but sweetheart, at your age, you can do anything you darn well please! Glad you are feeling better!

  7. Fin, we will miss your wisdom and humour, but we think that retirement will suit you. There will be so much more time to spend on laps (and the kitchen counter) without the pressure of blogging. We will all visit your Mom's blog and we will certainly come to your party (with fresh mice).

    Fin we love you and we are still sending you lots of purrs and love

  8. Fin, I don't think your mom could even come close to being as interesting as you!!! She will have a steep learning curve, but we will do our level best to support her ;)

    Looking forward to the party. Austin is ironing his very best tux.

  9. Fin, we're disappointed that you want to retire, but understand. We do like the idea of you guest-posting on your mom's blog, though!

  10. You're more generous than us. We wont even let our mum have her own Twitter account. We'll look forward to seeing what your mum has to say, but live in hope that you might come out of retirement for a guest post every now and again.

  11. No wonder you got such a great home - no way could they resist that kitten face!!!

    Everyone deserves a good retirement....

  12. Your Mom will have a lot to learn Fin so you may find yourself busier than ever giving her advice and words of encouragement. Of course it goes without saying that it will never be such a good blog as yours.
