Happy St. Patricks Day from the Ts

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! It's a fantasy day at the beach! 

Disclaimer: Clicking on the photo will bring you to owr page in NightCafe. Mom was amazed to get it to make this ai art without extra paws, heads, or tails.
 

And these are our real Sunday selfies.  This is the pose we do most frequently now with ears sharply pointed downward to hear when the "fake" snakie is coming under the tunnel. We love learning about Snakie 101 and can spend hours jumping on it in the tunnel, on the tunnel, or around the tunnel. 



We are joining Cat on my head for Sunday Selfies. It's a special day because it's their week #500 post. That's something to celebrate for sure. So we are dancing and having a pawty at the beach to celebrate. She also wrote a wonderful tribute to a friend, Jean. So stop on by to read all about it.

How are y'all spending your St. Patrick's Day today?

Caturday Art with the Ts and NightCafe

Saturday Caturday Art Day

Continuing on the theme of "two cats eating fish by the seashore" here are a few that I did recently in NightCafe  


"Hey T, is this the appetizer? There is not as many fish as there used to be in the order." It used to be 9 fishies, then next time it was 7, now it's 5 and it costs more green papers too!

"I shoulda ordered the whole fish instead of the salad. I guess you got that cause yoo have a bigger paw to eat it with." 😹

"Does this taste fishy to you?" 

"These fishies are so fresh dey are jumpin' off da plate!"

This one should be clickable to bring you to NightCafe if you would like to see the prompt that created this.  I really like how the background came out and it's inspiring me to do a real painting like it. 

One of these days I will attempt to actually do my own painting of Tommy and Teaghan. I'm thinking I will start with a pastel to work out the shapes then go on to an acrylic painting. Wish me luck!  Have a fun artsy Saturday y'all! xo

Purrs and love,

Brenda, Tommy and Teaghan

Tuesday in the tunnel

Teaghan: Hey Mom! I think there is a snakey inside this tunnel! I see a black stick like thing and it's pokin' around in there. 


Tommy: That's my tunnel Teaghan! Get away from there.


 Teaghan: I'll play here all day if I want to. It's my turn in the tunnel. 

Mom:  And then Tommy got jealous and jumped on Teaghan and that was the end of play time.😄 And it happened so fast I didn't even get a photo! 

Purrs, 

The Ts and B

Happy Birthday Tommy and Teaghan

Happy Birthday Tommy & Teaghan!

Adobe firefly generated image. AI doesn't seem to understand numbers so they get one candle instead of seven 😹. Prompt:  two red and white long haired tabby cats dancing and celebrating their birthday with a cake with 7 candles


Today they are 7 years old. Wow has the time gone by so quickly! But then again so many things have changed in that time for all of us. From their birth in Troy, New York at Finnishline Norwegian Forest Cats to their beautiful Mom McKenzie with her litter of three with their first Mom, Colleen. You can read about their birth story on that first post about them "the kitties are born" here.

Tommy:  "Yeah, lots have happened in that time. Our first scary ride away from our house to our new house. We had lots of fun there, looking out the windows and watching the squirrels eat peanuts right next to the door. We had lots of human friends come to visit us.  Then we had the loooong car ride from our big house in the land of snow to the land of no snow and lots of warm weather and pine trees."  

Teaghan: "And we have learned to not jump on Mommy at 3 or 4 am but to directly leap right onto Dad the food man.  Also we now sit in one room now with the birdie TV all around us."

Tommy with a T, or heart, or Angel marking depending on how you look at it and how the white fur lays

The T's tunnel standoff. Seven years later and they are still playing together, playing hide and seek, sometimes cuddling, most times not :-)

Here you can see his marking looking like a heart. 

Thanks to all our blogging furriends for reading our stories and visiting us all year. We appreciate it! 

We will be celebrating our purrthday today as usual, watching bird TV, eating plate after plate of food, and sleeping. :-) 

Purrs and love as always,
Tommy and Teaghan

EDIT:  We made another picture and didn't even ask AI for 7 candles and it gave it to us! WOW!

Created this one in NightCafe.

Southport Birds

Happy Saturday! Today is all about the birds. 

First, there has been a Robin migration going on with hundreds of them in our yard and the neighborhood. They have been feeding on insects in the grass and under the pine straw in the back yard. The outdoor bird TV has been quite entertaining and exercising for us as they go from window to window to watch them.

Seagulls and their usual scavenging ways were the entertainment on Friday as  Mom took a walk down to the pier in Southport to sit on the bench and drink some coffee that she got from the Southport Coffee shop. She also got a little to go box with a blueberry scone in it. As she made her way to the waterfront, the seagulls spotted the box, and started flying from the pier to the grassy area near the water and the benches. When she sat on the nearest bench, they cried out and made all sorts of commotion, some even walking up very close to her. One brave seagull, (musta been the leader) walked very close to her, all the while yelling at her to open the box! Then the other pretty black birds, the ones with the glistening shiny blue and black feathers started in calling out for food too. They made all sorts of noises with their heads thrown back yakkin' away to the sky. She felt bad that she didn't give them any of her food but 1) even though people often feed the birds bits of bread, bread and sweet foods are not healthy for them, and 2) she might have been swarmed with seagulls all flying over her and you know what might happen then right? Bird poop! 
There were also a bunch of Ruddy Turnstone birds (I thought they were Plovers, but Google says differently...) digging for insects in the grass. They were not interested in looking for scraps. 
Eventually, our food man daddy showed up and quickly ate the rest of the yummy sweet blueberry scone. The birds went on their merry way looking for the next person to come with some food.



The Robin migration is here. There were hundreds of them in our yard over the last week.

Say what?
