My Birthday: Whistle

Tomorrow I will be 5 years old. I was born in an empty house the night before Katrina blew through my town. My Mom went into labor with me and my litter-mates as the barometric pressure rose. We all came into a new world of downed trees, no power and a ruined homes.
It's best to be a kitten when hurricanes come. We were safe and dry, left alone in a house with food and water for our Mom and a comfortable place for us to snuggle with her. My eyes weren't open yet so I couldn't see the sky or even outdoors. I didn't know our Mom kept us close because she was anxious. I was warm and dry and ready to nurse.
Several weeks later, my owner brought me to the family I have now. I don't remember much about my first owner but she must have loved us because our family now is great.
I've learned so much in five years.
*a full food bowl inspires confidence
*having my litter-mate and other brother by a different mother close-by makes me happy
*if you love a dog like my dog Sister, you can learn to love a new dog
*having friends everywhere is fun and they don't eat your cat cookies
*some people think my magazine subscriptions are odd. I'm taking Oprah's mag now. My New Yorker sub ended.
*cat cookies are great 24/7
*sleeping with my people is good
*if you use your litter box exclusively you get in less trouble
*Cat University is more fun than Cat School
*being a Ginger Cat means I am beautiful
*nose freckles are admired greatly

I'm sure there is more. I can't think beyond the canned cat food I'm getting tomorrow at my Birthday Bash.

Tomorrow is MY Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! Tomorrow is my 4th Birthday! Fabulous, huh?
Everyone is coming to my party for a cat cake and games.
We are playing string, flying fishies and bag pounce.

If you haven't gotten a gift for me, it's NOT too late.
Send your big gift to me, Whistle, at this address:

Whistle
My House, U.S.A.

Here are a few ideas for you:
A pallet of Greenies
Catnip Mice (please note plural)
A tall climbing perch
Silk sheets for my cat bed
A guinea pig
laptop so I don't have to share
a collar (breakaway/safety) with a sterling silver whistle charm
cat bowl with MY name on it. ONLY for me

You get the idea. Just something simple to say, "Whistle, you are such a fine catty".

A Note from Fish...

Fabulous birthday today!

Mugsy and his sister sent us a beautiful package with catnip toys, Greenies and a plate with a beautiful ginger cat painted on it!

I sat up on my hind legs to hold the catnip mouse in my paws and lick it. Best catnip I've ever sniffed!

Whistle is flopped over from eating Greenies and other birthday treats.

Dubby loves the mice and Greenies, too. He licked the heart shaped catnip bag and carried it out of the room.

I'm going to hang the ginger cat estate sale plate in my cat basket. It will be perfect.

Then, a lovely friend sent us a sign. It is beautiful! It says, "You had me at Meow". This is a reference to Catty McGuire, the movie starring Cat Cruise and Rene Catwigger. We love it.

Lovely friend, you didn't put your name on the package! How can we thank you? It is a great present. As an art student, I love having a piece of art as a gift! You are the best! Thank you!

Being 3 will be more fun than being 2 or 1. Three year old kitties are mature, wise cats and, because I get better looking every day...well, the future is great!

Dubby and Sister send their kindest regards. Andy is busy doing hurricane prep outside. Whistle is snoring off a tummy of Greenies.

Love,

Fish, 3 years old TODAY

P.S. We saw Verbena, the VAT, today. She is living in a hole in a big pile of potting soil from an overturned pot. She's doing well.

Happy Birthday to Me!
Happy Birthday to Me!
Happy Birthday, Dear Fishy Fish!
Happy Birthday, to ME!

Three days until I am Three years old!

My birthday is Thursday, but I guess everyone on the Planet knows!


I am getting gifts and cookies!


I am very very very very very happy!


Yours,
Fish or "Mr.Cat Cookie Breff"

Why My Birthday Is Very Important

I will be three years old on Thursday, August 28.
Being three means I know many wonderful things about being a ginger cat.
Three is a significant number in a Cat Boy's life.
I will have three candles, not two or one.

I'm having canned cat food on my birthday. I will have big cat breff.

Love,
Whistle

P.S. Really! Who cares about anything but my birthday? No one!

A Package Arrives!!!!!!!!!

Guess what? I got a birthday present today! The package is addressed to "W and F". I'm the "W"!

We aren't allowed to open our presents yet. We have a present from Mugs and Mel but I don't know what is in it! It smells good when you stand on top of it and smell it.

My birthday is in ten (10) days!!!!!!

I'll be three (3)!!!!


Yours,

Whistle, I approve this message, my birthday is in 10 days and I am a ginger cat.

Fish said some of you don't know that MY BIRTHDAY is in 23 days!

Makes me want to hurl a hairball!!!!!!!!!!

Please, focus on what is important!

Fish, whose birthday is coming soon! I approve this message

Birthday Countdown and Preparations!

30 days until my birthday!

Fish and I commissioned a song in honor of our 3rd birthday from Ginger "Gingie the Cat" Blakely of Batesville, Mississippi. Because we were born the day before Katrina the Hurricane blew away everything, Gingie turned Mr. Morrison's song into one about us. All rescue kitties remember the Storm. Dubbie says the song is "dark" for a party song.


Be sure you sing this loudly and bluesy.


Kittehs On the Storm (adapted from Jim Morrison's Riders on the Storm, 1971)

Kittehs on the storm
Kittehs on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a cat without a cookie
An human out alone
Kittehs on the storm

There's a killer on the road
Katrina's squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your kittens play
If ya give Katrina a ride
Sweet memories will die
Katrina on the road, yeah

Meow!

Kittehs on the storm

63 Days Until My Birthday!

Are YOU ready?


Whistle the Cat

Many people say to me, "Whistle, when is your birthday?"


My birthday is in 95 days!!!


Glad to help out here,

Whistle the Cat I approve this blog post.

Many of you beg for an update ABOUT MY THIRD BIRTHDAY!

THERE ARE ONLY 178 DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!


Love,

Whistle, not suggesting you buy a present today but start looking!

Hey Spooky (go here: http://mewsingsbyspooky.blogspot.com/), thanks for adding me to your meme! I don't even know what that is except my brother, Fish, says it is French for "grandmother" which I know is wrong.

I know all the same people you do, mostly so I don't know who to tag.

It's cold here. I'm sitting on my Mom's lap to blog. I hope she isn't reading this and I am not sitting on her lap to reach the keyboard. She's very warm. I am very tall in real life. Tall and big.

Maybe a meme is a good way to let EVERYBODY know that MY BIRTHDAY is August 28.
I like Greenies,if you worry about what to get me.

Gotta run. Time for Bathtub Bashing where Fish and I get into the bathtub and beat each other up! Great times!

Yours,

Whistle
