Fridge MeMe

The very handsome Meezer, and Stormie's only ever Man Cat date, Yao-Lin, has tagged me for a MeMe! The talented, lovely, limerick lady Karen Jo also tagged me for this MeMe too!

It's a fun and simple MEME for the hot summer. Show us a photo of the front of your Cold Box and tell us about at least one thing on it and one thing you keep inside of it! Tag your friends and remember to stay COOL!

So here is MY fridge. Meowmie puts a couple of things on the side of the fridge, not on the front, because as you walk into the kitchen you see the side first of all - so it needs decorating more than the front. She also strategically places a cinnamon & mandarin scented candle on the fridge because my litter-box is not so far away from this spot... last night Meowmie had some mussels in garlic and white wine in the Fridge Box, which we then shared. I had never had mussels before and I thoroughly enjoyed them! I saw some crabsticks and crayfish tails in there too, obviously these must be for me, I may allow Meowmie to have one of each, if she behaves. If not, then she can have the ham that is about to go out of date.



Currently there is a picture of Stormie on there, along with a fridge magnet which displays the family name (coincidentally Yao-Lin has the exact same fridge magnet, apart from the family name bit!). There is also a picture of a beautiful property for sale in Devon, it is a dream home for us - it consists of two 1 bedroom cottages, set out in beautiful grounds, in a fairty-tale setting. This would be the perfect home for me and my Meowmies. Meowmie J could live in one cottage, and me and Meowmie L could live in the other - this would allow Meowmie J to be close to me, but without having to actually live with me and suffer from the allergies that I cause. The only downside being that these cottages are a bit too far to commute to London for the Meowmies, I think 5 hours each way might be a bit too much for me to expect of them in their daily pursuit of Salmon Tokens at the place they call 'work'.

Meezer Monday

(Meezer Mondays...dedicated to my much missed sister, Stormie).

This week I am going to share a video of Stormie eating her dinner. Stormie had a very particular way of eating her dry foods - instead of eating with her face in the bowl she would pick out a morsel or two at a time with her paw and then eat them off the floor. She would not pick any further morsels out until she had cleared up the ones she had already picked from the bowl.



My Meowmie has a theory as to why she ate like this...she thinks that Stormie was FORCED to adapt her way of eating because of MY gluttony! You see, Stormie and I always shared a food bowl from the day we were born and Meowmie reckons that Storm couldn't get her head into the bowl because I wouldn't let her, so she was forced to slide her paw in under my face and pull out her share of the food!!!

I am also very PROUD to announce that I came second in Texas's Funny Picture Friday contest! Simon from The St. Louis Meezers won the competition with a hilarious photo of him doing some sort of strange Meezer
dance. I may have come second but at least the competition was won by a Meezer!

Happy Meezer Monday everyone x

Too Sad...

...and now we must bid beautiful fluffy Forest farewell after she escaped from her home, she was an indoors cat and sadly she got hit by a car.  Bye bye little Forest, we will miss you xxx

Goodbye Mu Shue

Sad news...Mu Shue is going to The Bridge...he has not been well since he rescued Lilly & Iris from the fire...and he recently started chemo for small-cell lymphoma is his intestine too. Mu Shue is a tough and brave cat, but now it is his time to move onwards...safe journey Mu Shue...you'll be missed...xxx

Meezer Monday

When I manage to post on Meezer Monday's they are going to be about my much missed sister, Stormie. Today's post is about a wonderful thing that someone did for Stormie and us.

The Meowmies have been members of Meezer.com for about 10 years now and they have always had a friendship with one particular lady on there who has been around since pretty much the first day my Meowmies have been posting on the message board. Her name is Jeanie and she is such a kind and generous soul. Even though they have 'known' each other for about 10 years, the Meowmies have never met Jeanie because she lives on the other side of the world in Australia. About 5 or 6 weeks before Storm passed away Jeanie wrote an email to my Meowmie saying the following:

"I have a little cat statue that I bought at the Oxfam shop. It's a dear little thing, made of sandstone I think. Anyway, I painted a little X on it's nose and it has a tealight candle next to it which I light daily. It sits on my special table in the lap of my Balinese Buddha statue with it's lotus water fountain. I think of Storm daily and remember to send healing thoughts to her (and you) each time I pass by."

THE STATUE WITH THE PAINTED 'X' ON IT'S NOSE

STORMIE AND THE 'X' ON HER NOSE

We were so touched by this act of kindness, so unexpected and so thoughtful and caring. Jeanie continued to light candles throughout Storm's final battle, sending us positive thoughts and energies at a very difficult time for us all. So, we want to thank Jeanie for creating this lovely little oasis of candle-light and positive energy in her home, for us. It was a very special thing to do.

Awards on Sleepy Sunday!

I am lucky enough to have been given TWO more awards! Wow! I am so new to all of this too. My first award is from Storm's good friend, and now my friend, Parker! Thanks Parker! The award is the Sweet Home Blogger Award and Parker gave it to me because she likes my new blog home. I am going to pass this on to The Furry Kids and Sabrina, Sam & Simon.


My next award is the 'Arte y Pico' Award and it was given to my sister's Face Twin, the very handsome HRH Yao-Lin because I am 'practically family'. Cheers Yao-Lin - I am truly honoured! Here is some info about the award:

“The ‘Arte y Pico’ award was created to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and their talents, whether it be writing, artwork in all media. When you receive this award it is considered a ’special honor’. Once you have received this award, you are to pass it on to at least 5 others.”


I am going to pass this on to the adorable Miss Peach who always make her blog look so pretty! We are also going to pass this on to Adan, because of all the lovely photos on his blog. Princess's blog is always so happy and colourful so I am going to pass it on to her as well. Then I think Alexi deserves this award too as her blog is so pictoral and I also want to put a little smile on her face as she lost her sibling recently too...and finally I will give this to my friend Black Cat cos she makes us laugh and her blog is very entertaining.

Meezer Rule Wednesday

My first ever Meezer Rule Wednesday is...if you have a poorly sibling, don't eat all their food when they turn their nose up at it, otherwise you will get VERY fat and then suffer the consequences, which will invariably include having to go on a diet and being starved of treats and tasty foods.

I am afraid I ignored this rule, ate the food Stormie didn't want (which, as you know, was pretty much a complete bowl of food every meal time) and piled on the pounds, reaching a rather obese 6.6kgs / 14.5lbs - which is dreadful, I should be a sleek, elegant Meezer, not a wobble-belly, bubble-gut Meezer! The following picture is of fat me next to Stormie, it is not a picture of a cat and a kitten...*shame*...

I am now on a diet...50gms of Hills Senior dry food a day...that is just beyond a diet, that can only be described as STARVATION RATIONS!!! The Meowmies said that it looks like I am losing weight, they can see the shape of my leg again! Meowmie L said she will be happy when my shoulders are the widest part of my body again! OHMYGOODNESS - I am going to be starved like a wannabe model! I shall be going to see Ben Vet in the next week or so for a check-up, and to see how my weight-watching is going.

I am quite proud to announce that Stormie has been given an award posthumously from Eric and Flynn. Just before she passed away Stormie popped by their blog when Eric was poorly, to give Eric some purrs to get better...apparently this made Eric's day and they have given her the You Made My Day Award, it is displayed on her bloggie, on the right hand-side with her other awards. Thank you Eric and Flynn..Stormie would be so proud and grateful.

Hold on...I too have been given this award! My friends at the Ballicus Blog have presented this to me to welcome me to blogging! Wow, my first award! Thank you DoryDoo, Brainball, Marilyn and Chairman Mao - you make our day too.

I believe that we now need to pass this award on...I think that Storm would have passed this award on to every single cat, creature and human that came by to wish her well on her final journey, and I would like to pass this on to all who have since visited us to make sure me and my meowmies are OK..so we pass this on to all of you! You really did Make Our Day when we felt sad and down.
