Kitty, it's cold outside....
...even in Texas!

[MEG33]

It snowed in Houston..There were a few flakes here just north of Houston.

[luvie]

She’s beautiful! Collie or Sheltie?

[luvie]

Yes, I have a brother in Seabrook and he’s been whining ever since it started cooling off! LOL!

I love to see the snow coming down...but then want it gone! I guess I’ve lived in the desert too long! :D

[MEG33]

Loved seeing your sweet Chachi’s picture..and read that she is better.

[MEG33]

It did not stick here next to the Woodlands..strange how much snow was coming down in Houston..

[MEG33]

Thank you, ((((Amy))).

[luvie]

I saw some pictures that a friend posted on Facebook and
it was really pretty for a while. I think they are ready
for it to warm back up. We Texans are not accustomed to
cold weather for any length of time. LOL!

I’m in OKC right now and it’s cold and clear here. We are
staying in, needless to say!

[MEG33]

Same here...I plan to stay put..My daughter’s rose bushes were loaded with thick buds..She cut a few that were open before the freeze.

[luvie]

I’ll bet the roses that were left were beautiful with the
snow on them!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks so much, MEG. Chachi sends sweet puppy kisses to you!

Collie~ We drove from Los Angeles to Inglewood Colorado to pick her up 8 years ago! Never once regretted it! On the way home we knew she was going to be everything we wanted in a dog, peaceful, serene and loving! I looked at her and then said to the family, she will be “ Glorious Shalom”...a dog of peace. Shallie is short for her AKC name.

[luvie]

She looks like she is a loving dog. I have loved Collies ever
since I read the Albert Payson Terhune books when I was a kid!
....but have never owned (or been owned) by one....

HAPPY CATURDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

Macavity - The Mystery Cat

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw--
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no on like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air-
- But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly doomed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square--
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair--
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Foreign Office finds a Treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way,
There may be a scap of paper in the hall or on the stair--
But it's useless of investigate--Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
"It must have been Macavity!"--but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macacity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibit, or one or two to spare:
And whatever time the deed took place--MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

a poem by T S Eliot

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[pollywog]

Oh you two sweet tabbies!!! Come here... come here! I have some tuna for you if you’ll stay with me!

[Majie Purple]

I remember that cute;cold;kitty! :)
The ani on that blows me away!
