Words on Wednesday from Kat to Katie Isabella

   

Thank you to our Hostess

Sandee at Comedy Plus

Dearest Auntie HiC

There’s been an Invasion of Catnip Mice on the hill. 

As you recall, Katie Isabella & Ms. Carole sent us a surprise package which included 3 catnip mice.

 

OMC, we had no idea how much fun we would have with these little rascals!

Mom said the mice brought out the kittens in us! Unfortunately, we have a situation: MMIA! Mouse Missing in Action! You should see Mom on her hands and knees looking for the missing mouse! 😹😹😹

FYI, Walmart has the mice marked down & Dad bought us a bag of 10

today! The more the merrier. 

Thanks again Katie Isabella & Ms. Carole.

❤️ Kat, Rocky, & Cali 

PS. Mom apologizes for poor video quality. She can’t send high resolution videos by email because they’re too big. 

Dearest Kat and Mom Kit thank you for your efforts to improve the video.  I was not able to download onto my desktop.  I PURRsonally think all of your videos are award Winning.  You are talented and your stars and starlets are wonderful

Hugs HiC aka Auntie HiC

Dearest Auntie HiC

Mom and I are passionate bird watchers! Dad rolls me outside (I’m not fat, just fluffy😻), so we can play “Identify that Bird”!

We use the Merlin Bird ID app to verify our guesses. I always beat Mom!

Here’s a list of the birds we heard in less than 10 minutes.

It’s so relaxing that I often end up dozing off! 😹

❤️ Kat

Dearest Nephew Kat...

I love your wheels!! EveryKat needs wheels.

Auntie, as you know, is a lover of all our fine feathered friends too.  And I love feeding them.  Before long the itty bitty but mighty Ruby Throated Hummingbirds

will be here!!

Lovingly Auntie HiC

Dear Friends Who’s ready for “Fun Facts with Rocky”?

We’re not traveling to Colorado this year to witness the hummingbirds’ spring migration, so we’re eagerly awaiting their arrival in north Georgia. 

They typically show up during the first week of April. 

Here are some interesting facts about hummingbirds.

There are over 350 known hummingbird species. We primarily see ruby- throated hummers in Georgia. 

Hummers are diurnal, meaning most are awake during the day and sleep at night. 

A hummingbird’s brain comprises approximately 4.2% of its body weight, which is the highest percentage among all wild birds.

Despite their name, they don’t actually “hum.” Instead, it’s more like a “chatter,” and certain species produce sounds by using their feathers. 

Hummers beat their wings thousands of times per minute. 

They consume about half their body weight in bugs and nectar, feeding every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers throughout the day. In addition to nectar from flowers and feeders, hummers eat small insects, beetles, ants, aphids, gnats, mosquitoes, and wasp.

Hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, just like Auntie HiC! ❤️

They prefer natural nectar to feeders, but if you provide feeders, please remember not to add red dye and clean them frequently. 

Do you have hummingbirds in your area? What kind?

Mom and Auntie HiC meticulously record the arrival and departure dates of the hummingbirds. They usually arrive during the first week of April. I’ll keep you updated whenever we have our first sighting here. Mom always gets excited and squeals with delight❣️

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #204

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

This week's photo challenge 

So many scenarios ran through my mind's eye when I saw this....so I went with an imaginary conversation years later between a Mom and an older child.. 
I will neither confirm nor deny that there is a photo like this here.  It does not have horns or a double chin just a precious smile!!

Bath time is fun, 

 Mommy is making all kinds of faces.

Just for her here is a big grin, and a double chin

fast forward 16 years later!!

😱😨

Now a teenager he screams, what a disgrace

Mom if I ever see these photos in public places,

I will declare they are fake.

Made by my mom, using AI

It was a mistake!!

Lovingly your little

😇
