#RememberMeThursday with the Tomcat Family

Angel Timmy here to say how important this day is as we are all shelter, foster or rescue kitties. I was fostered by Spay and Save when Dad adopted me and starting this blog ball rolling

I was at Kitty Cottage which is a nice rescue where the cats roam their assigned floor. Dad was "just visiting" and I tapped his shoulder. His friend was looking at cats and they came back the next week. Guess who tapped Dad's shoulder a second time.  This Cat! Thank You Dad for my wonderful home.

I love this day as it encourages people to remember those who are in shelters. I was saved by a group that Dad did fostering for but, sadly, I am a failed foster. Without groups that support shelters a kitty like me would be in trouble in the "pound". Today I am happy and have a home.

Because Dad had posters of rescues in his work cubicle a lady who had walked by a few times knew he was the person to call when she found me on her doorstep at deaths door. Of course he adopted his little bottle baby. Love that guy
Da same ting happen wit me'z. Da lectritian saw Dads poster when hiz son needa new home fur Buddy Budd. Ah waz 8 an Dad lookee but no findee so he say ah cain live wit him. Lovin ya Dad!
I was a failed foster along with Miss Fitz due to my FIV. If Dad did not know the truth about FIV from his work in rescue I may have never had a chance.
Shelters, rescue groups and fostering gave us all a shot. We thank them all. Please support your local shelter!

We are Joining Lola the Rescued Cat to raise awareness of those waiting for you to adopt and not shop!

We were First Right Guessers on The Tuesday Teaser at Two Spoiled Cats. Hope to see you next week! Maybe you will be a Firstie too but make sure you study!

We are so thankful to be rescues and are joining Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. As you hop along remember Brian in your purrs, we will be!

Friday with Fitz: String Thing

Hey, are you looking at my string thing? Are you the one who hid it behind the sofa?

I have a Whappy Paw if you try that again!

We are joining Friendly Fill-Ins with 15 and Meowing & Four-Legged Furballs. Dad is doing the first two. What do you have to say? Come on, meow it out!

1. I wish I knew how to play an Instrument. My sister played strings and keys but I never had the patience. Today I wish I took the time out of my busy kids schedule. 

2. If offered a free trip to space, I would Go in a second. What an adventure that would be! Of course I would make arrangements for the family before leaving.

3. Playing with Dad is the most exciting thing in my life right now. And what fun that is. I love it. Then I get a tummy rub and, yes, I love those too.

4. I could give a long lecture on the topic of The proper care of String Things. It takes a lot of attention to detail to get them to shred just a bit and not too much. Claw, Gnaw, Tooth and Tug each in proper purrportion

We are Joining Comedy Plus for Feline Friday. What a great way to end a tough week of naps and head scritches.

Timmy is Thankful for Dad

Hello friends and thanks for stopping by. We always enjoy seeing each and every one of you not only on Thankful Thursdays but anytime you grace our pages. You are the best. Now I want to get to my Thankful for the week who is none other than my Dad. He has been such help to me after the bad time I had last week. Did you know I was held captive for 3 days. You can read about it here on Herding Cat Tips.
Since I have been licking at my special food dish that Dad keeps for me but it is hard to tell how much I eat. You see I graze on the family dishes too. Dad says he will keep those dishes full until Einstein rolls against his foot MOL. It does make it harder for him though.
Last night I got my first medicated ear rub. I didn't even mind. Dad thought it would be messy but no, rather nice. Today (Wed) I almost ate a whole can of The Feast of Fancy, and, it's not even Dinner!
Yes, if it wasn't for Dad I would be in trouble. Then again he says the same about me. Sorry for this long post. I blame Dad MOL

We are joining Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. We hope to see your Thankfuls too

In the Purrsuit of Flavor: Dads Favorite, Hamburger Goulash

The Canadian Cats and Easy Rider threw down a Challenge this week for a food that Dad really loved and would eat any chance he could. He grew up in the family diner so there were a lot of choices, but he always loved Moms Wednesday Menu Goulash. (How about that!) It was not gourmet but it was a tasty filling meal. 

Super Easy Ground Beef Goulash

Ingredients:

1 lb Ground beef 90% lean

1 ½ cup noodles uncooked (About ¼ 16oz box)

1 ½  16oz cans tomato sauce

1 cup beef broth

Cooking oil. Olive, Peanut or choice

Salt, Pepper, Oregano, Sugar (or sweetener per label equivalency) and Sage (Optional)

1. Bring approx 2 qt water to full boil and add a bit of ⅛ tsp salt (Optional) and 1-2 tbs oil. Add pasta. Normal cooking time is about 9-11 minutes depending on altitue. Cut back about 2 minutes what you would normally cook, rinse, drain and set aside in colander. Your oil prevents them from sticking.

2. In a pot brown ground beef and then pour off grease. There will not be much if you use 90% lean but if you use much less add a bit more meat as you will have more shrinkage.

3.  Add tomato sauce and beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add spices. ¼ tsp pepper, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tbs Sugar, 1 tbs oregano. If you use fresh oregano maybe ½ tbs. Dad adds two tbs but he likes it that way. A way to be adventurous is to add a slight pinch of sage. If you are not fond of it no worries.

4. Simmer sauce for 15 to 30min. Longer is better for yummy. Sample as simmering and add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Add Pasta to sauce and bring back to a simmer at least 5 minutes to cook the pasta the rest of the way. You may need to add a bit extra broth but water is fine so you have a nice consistency. 

6. Makes about 6 servings. Enjoy. It is really fast and simple. You can also use a packet of Chili Mix if you like instead of adding your own spices. For milder tastes use Meatloaf Mix. Dad likes his with a bit less pasta and sauce with more meat. This is an easy recipe to “tweak” till it is just how you like it.

I told Dad to fill the bowl up but he said this was "a normal person serving." So figure on 4 nice servings. It is really easy to add meat, pasta and sauce if you want to make for a gathering or some such. If we ever have those again that is

My second opinion was just a big nothing. Dad said they were wallet probing with silly things but he did agree to repeat labs and out in left field FeLv test. I did eat a bit last night but not much today. 
Thanks for the Purrs and Prayers

Thankful for PDVC

Friends we are so thankful you could drop by today. We are always happy to see you all and so is Dad. I am spending the night at the vet so some purrs would be appreciated. 
Today we have a very special Thankful. A while ago Dad donated to a rescue group that is dear to us. Project Delta View Cats. We learned about this group through our friend Savannah since Mom L is one of the founders of this group. Today we were so happy to see some of the beautiful cats that we helped in our small way.

Baby is really beautiful. You know she is doing well by how she cares for that wonderful fur

Rosemary looks a bit wary but that is life on the outside. Nice clean bowls of food help

Sampson looks relaxed out for a walk in the sun

Now Rosemary is relaxed since her BFF Alfie is with her at lunch. Aren't they all beautiful. Thanks Savannah and Mom L for a great Thankful!
We want to remind everyone that community cats are those who, for whatever reason, choose to live outside and are not socialized to home life, although some may be a bit social. More info below.

We really are thankful for guessing One Spoiled Cat's Tuesday Teaser. We were not the first but we were right.

We are joining Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. We sure hope to see you with a bucket of thankful this week
