Thankful

We are sending purrs to Dad Terry at Brian's Home and are joining them in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. You should too.

Hi folks, Rumpy Bump here. Yeah, I know what you are thinking: "What? Rumpy Thankful?" Well don't get used to it but know that I am a teeny weeny bit thankful every now and very few again's. Anyhoo. I do have the dreaded Ast-ha-ma, which is no biggie, most of the time, but... thanks Dad for being so nice the other night when I coughed up a lung. He did percussion on me see that helped get the gunk out. Whew that was a bad go. Oh yeah thanks for your purrs too folks.

Now before you go can I interest you in some prime hunting locations for, err, quail, yep, quail. By the thousands right under your paws and...
Enough Rumpy
Alright but only if we practice Cat Take Downs!
You better not!
*THUMP*

Friday with Fitz: Lights Out

Here I am keeping Dad company when the lights went out. Seems a human ran into the pole up the street and *Bang* no electric, no lights. Not a big thing to us cats but Dad? Well he was ready. In lots of spots around the house he has little lights like the red one here and a big one, that is real bright, that is easy to get to.

He also had a bunch of candles. I think he got these black ones at a yard sale years ago. Anymeow he was fine. See our Henri mug? That is what we did to pass the time.

Dad had Henri's second book on the table so we read it together in the dark. Let me tell you we were both laughing at his keen insight. Give it a read.
Henri, le Chat Noir. Reflections on Human Folly from a Feline Philosopher

It was nice to spend some quality time with Dad.
We hope you are all well. By the way did you stop by my beau Toby's 12th Gotcha Day Party? It was real fun too.

Toby's 12th Gotcha Day

Toby I am so glad you came to live with us. We sure have had fun over the years.
We sure did Timmy. Can we escort that white cat out of here please.
Toby I don't especially like Rumpy either but today is a family affair.
Can't we all just get along
I can explain why that is essentially impossible
Really? What can you possibly say?

I thought you would never ask. Here, hold that Einstein
How did I get pulled in? I don't want to!
Quiet. As we cats know the universe is held in balance by the age old cat principal of Yin-Yang. The good, white, is always in conflict with the bad, black. As I am white it is clear that...
No! No! No! No! No!
We all agree that YOU are the bad cat and...
Ahhh. But do we?
*Fitz Whaps Rumpy*
Hush!

Now that the silliness is over Toby has requested Filet to be served. Dad will make yours to request with bearnaise, bacon, mushrooms or whatever you like.
Rare with bacon please
Coming up Toby

We have great appetizers

We also have asparagus with bacon for everyone
Mmmm

I hope you like my choice of beverages
We do Toby

I want to thank all our friends for coming to my 12th Gotcha Day Party. It was so nice sharing it with you all. Timmy will you cut the cake
I sure will Toby, I sure will

Re-do Rumpy with Einstein too

Hey Rumpy what did you do with our post from the 13th?Why would I "do" anything with it?
Well, just checking. It's gone We better do it again.
If you insist. Look there's Fly Guy!

Got him! Got him!
Never Happening Butter Paws

Let me try again. Shoot, missed
Don't hold your breath Grasshopper
You are sooooo mean
You are sooooo Butter Paws

Watch this!
A swing and a... Miss!
Darn

Easy as reaching out and... WHAT?

No joy in Rumpy Town tonight. Hee, Hee
There is more way than one to catch a Fly Guy

La-tee-da-dum-diddle no interest in Fly Guy at all. Nope, nada, zilch, zippo

Got-Cha!
I can't believe it
Age and treachery will beat youth and exuberance every time!*Sigh*

My antagonists seem to be at it again.
I hope you stop by tomorrow for my 12th Gotcha day. There will be cake. See you then

Thankful Timmy & Dad

We are so thankful that we are doing well and are safe that we wanted to join Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. You should too

We are all really thankful for all our friends and you dear readers. Also for having what we need in these uncertain times. Both Dad and we kitties have plenty of noms and are cozy and comfy, if a little stir crazy from being inside.
Dad is extra Thankful because he did that April 15th thing he used to hate so much. Taxes. He said being retired made it a snap. He even got a few dollars back. He says we will get some toys and treats.
