Today we got the sad news that our friend SallyCat and her husband (Mr. Cat) have lost one of their beloved fur kids. Sundance crossed the bridge on May 15, 2011. It’s very hard to lose our furry family members. The Cats have our sincere condolences. Sundance will be sorely missed. I’m sure The Boober was at the bridge to greet Sundance when he arrived.
The other day we went back to the Japanese Tea Garden. Since it was a weekday, it wasn’t too busy. I managed snap a few pics. Being springtime, the garden was lovely and green. The trees that were still bare on our last trip have leafed out.
Here are a few of our pictures. I hope you enjoy them.
Today is Mother’s Day, and we think that mothers should certainly be honored. However, there are a LOT of mums out there who haven’t given birth or adopted, or raised human children. These women who nurture animals or the children of others deserve just as much honor on this day. With that in mind, we would like to honor a friend of this blog.
Her username is flumptytail and she’s mum to a human and LOTS of kitties. She rescues ferals, and has them spayed and neutered. She also takes them for regular checkups, teeth cleaning and various things. Once healthy, they have the run of her home, indoors and out. They are free to come and go as they wish. She has made many of our brothers and sisters very happy kitties.
How many kitties call her mum? Well, according to flumpty:
I have 32, 34 if you count the 2 that belong to someone else. I had said 28 before , but that was just a quickie list and I had left off some that I hardly ever see. They just come in once a day for a few minutes to eat and disappear again. Although by now there’s only one who never stays in all night.
Here are some of her kitties.
This first picture, according to flumpty:
I keep a big cage in the dining room for when I have to keep a cat in it overnight if they’re getting neutered or spayed or their teeth cleaned, etc. in the morning. I leave the door open other times and the cats like to sleep in in. Here is a picture of a pile of kittehs.

Not to worry. We love our mum too. We gave her head bonks and left our toys in her shoes for her to find.
Have you ever wondered what our pets would say if they could talk? Someone has. They put together these vids for our viewing pleasure.
This poor dog…
It’s time for the boys to shine.
I do love Star Wars. 🙂
It’s not Star Wars, but it’s funny
Good evening. It’s time for the boys to shine.
Today, we spent the day at the park. While walking around a pond, we found this lovely red eared slider with a pine cone.
A couple weeks ago, we were wandering around the Golden Gate. Not to be confused with the bridge, the Golden Gate is the strait that connects the Bay with the Pacific Ocean. We started our wandering in the Marina District and made our way over to the cliffs above Baker Beach. We had quite a few lovely sights along the way.
We began our journey at the Wave Organ. The Wave Organ is an acoustic sculpture that was constructed near the Golden Gate Yacht Club. It consists of pipes that run down into the water and the sound is generated by the tides. It was built using remnants of old tombs and tombstones when most of the cemeteries were moved from San Francisco to Colma roughly a century ago.
While on our way back to the car from the Wave Organ, I got this picture of the bridge. It looked so lovely in the evening, that we decided to follow the sun.
The cliffs above the Golden Gate were glowing with shades of lavender. The Marin Headlands are visible in the distance, across the water.
Point Bonita Lighthouse is at the very tip of the Marin Headlands. That is a suspension bridge visible to the right of the light and it is the only access to the lighthouse.
Soon after, the sun began to set. It was the end of another glorious day in San Francisco.
Happy Easter everyone.
Here’s a bit of Nora
Here’s the sequel
And here is Nora’s story. It’s worth watching. Let us all give a cheer for shelter kitties.
Ok, just to keep the traditions of Easter….
Kittehs on an Easter Egg hunt.
Pssst, this happened during the Easter Egg hunt.
The other day, I posted some photos of San Francisco at Night. We went back to Bernal Heights for a sunrise. It was worth the trip.
