I Would Like to Thank the Anipal Academy

by Herman
 
Today I received a Star from the Anipal Academy Awards for my avatar of Angel Petie.

I did not expect this award, so my acceptance speech is not written with much thought, but it comes from my heart.

Thank you for this award. Although I never expected any kind of reward for making an avatar for the wonderpurr and beloved Petie The Cat, or any other Anipal who has gone Over The Rainbow Bridge, or needs a cute avi for a pawty. I do them because I love my pals and want everyone to have fun.

Petie was an inspiration to me, to be the best Anipal furend I can be to all of those who want me as a furend. It is in his honor that I accept my award and will display it proudly on my blog. Much hugs to the Academy for voting for me, and to my dear furend, Phi @3phibotticelli who tweaked my ears and made sure I got on line just as my award was announced.

Love you all!  Herman

The Feline Definition of "Toy"

My husband still hasn't finished renovating the house. He leaves his paint and tool supplies in the middle of Cat Central, clueless that small things can be highly entertaining to bored cats.

We have a zillion cat toys scattered throughout our home. It's true, I counted them. So what do Jack and Gidget choose to fight over but a wad of blue painters tape.

The fascination escapes me.

Black Mold

It makes sense now. We lost Nicholas in February to some mysterious respiratory infection that was thought to have been a tumor. Mom haz been suffering with memory loss, constant joint aches, headaches and unusual crabbiness. Lots of sneezing going on in this house. Running noses, both hooman and animal. Now, it makes sense.

Mom had Global Central Air Services out to the house today. Why? Because Cookie now haz what Nicholas had. Runny nose, thick discharge, lethargy. And its frightened Mom into worrying it could be more. Like mold. And it is.

Global showed Mom the air handlers. We have two. Both are poisoned with black mold. Global returns tomorrow to clean, using a tea tree oil solution that is guarantee to kill the nasty mold and keep it gone for two years. Meanwhile, we are wondering if we can reverse the signs of poisoning that we all have suffered. Especially Cookie, who at 14 is taking it pretty hard.

This explains why Mom lost all desire to write on her blogs, to write her novels. Why each day has been hard to get through because all she wants to do is sleep. This is unusual for her because Mom isn't the type to watch tv during the day or do anything but write. But for the past few months all of her energy has left and in its place has been a shell of the purrson she used to be. So we are very hopeful that once the mean ol nasty black mold is gone for good, we all can enjoy life again.

That Nicholas had to sacrifice his life to save the rest of ours is something none of us will ever forget. Mom is determined to make Nick the poster child of black mold awareness. So when you see #BBM on my tweets at @TattleCat and on Mom's @KimberleyKoz and @KeptbyCats you will know it means #BewareBlackMold.
