From The Clan McGavin

S: Since we're Irish (by way of Daddykitty's heritage), we start celebrating when the first cornbeef and cabbage gets served up! (Usually at happy hour today - even though we can't go to pubs!)

K: We will be celebrating through Saturday, and maybe even into Sunday - Mommakitty (who is actually Scottish) says it depends on how good da green liquids are . . . and of course, NIP is green, so we will be indulging as well!

S: Here is Kimo sporting a classic Irish Alpine Hat, a sophisticated look for St. Patrick's Day.

K: And here's Sabi, wearing a classic American St. Patrick's Day "Let's Party" hat.

S: Hey - it's green isn't it?!

K: Anyhoo . . . we thought we'd show you some spring photos from our neighborhood that may remind some folks of Ireland - some lovely rolling green hills.

Click on da photo to see a great slide show
of Daddykitty's photos of this beautiful park.
We hope to stroll here someday.

K: A h-uile latha sona dhut, gun latha idir dona dhut!
(Celtic for: Good to you every day, without an evil day to you!)

S: Happy St. Patrick's Day - and remember . . .
. . . Cha shoirbh triubhas a chur air cat.
(Celtic for: It's not easy to put trousers on a cat.)

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Irish Blessing

P.S. - We do not know da horse-lady in da slide show.

Tuesday Tip Day

S: Hi - Sabi here. Does yer brudder (or sister) hog yer favorite play house?

(Example of a brudder hoggin' the play house)

S: Here's a simple 2-step solution;

1) Put out a favorite play toy - da most irresistable one . . . like a fev-ver toy.
2) When they gets distracted playin' wif da toy, claim da play house as yer own. Easy peasy!

Do unto others before they do unto you.
Especially when a play house is concerned.

Meezer Monday - Thinkin'

I been thinking about my good buddy Skeezix. He has not been feelin' well - he gots some tummy problems, and wasn't even up to purring. He didn't feel like eating or nuthin'. It has me furry concerned.

I thought his purr box was broked, but it started workin' again yesterday. This is a good sign. He also told me that he licked Mr. Tasty Face - this is also a furry good sign. I hopes he doesn't have to go back to da VET and haf to get poked some more. Maybe he is just furry exhausted from all da bloggin' and other stuff he does. He works furry hard . . . but then, you all know that.

I fink his bloggie problems is all fixed too, so drop by Skeezix's bloggie and wish him well (and a little prayer fer him would be nice too). You can also check in wif his brudder Mao, who will also keep us all posted.

UPDATE: This afternoon Skeezix reported he was feeling a little better and getting his appetite back . . . and he did NOT haf to go back to da VET! Yippee!

Mommakitty: I don't know yet how Kimo & Sabi are going to like this stolling stuff (Sabi still gets a little freaky on a harness outside), so we want to start on the conservative side. If they totally love it, then we may invest in something else. These two were less costly. Let us know your ideas. Thanks!
