A Few Other Things I Love
These first three are Hohner. I named him that because1) he was born in a box of knives (honer–get it?) and 2) when he was a wee kitten, he made sounds like a harmonica (a Hohner, arguably the most popular brand of mouth organ). He haas gone missing, sadly–I have’t seen him for a week. Kathy says he may just be out catting around, but since he and I bonded so strongly, I am not optomistic.
These are Peachy, who is Frankie’s son. He and Hohner bonded strongly, too–and since Hohner has gone, Peachy has gotten more affiliative.
Peachy with Dingus, nee Dirty Dingus Mc Gee, the meanest kitten you’ll ever see. Dingus has gone missing too, the same time Hohner did.
Frankie with new kittens. From the left, there is Freaky Deaky (the mackeral tabby); Albion (the white one); Frodo (the grey-tip Siamese); Campbell (the –I forget what, it is so damn noisy in the library I can’t concentrate–dark one); New Jersey; and Randy on the end.
A little ball of cuteness–clockwise it would be Campbell, Randy, Albion, Frodo’s butt, New Jersey, and Freaky. BTW, Campbell has since found a new home with a cat-loving local woman. I miss him, too.
A nice shot of Albion on the porch.
Frodo, perched on the sofa cushion I sleep on when Kathy stays over (she gets the bed, which is too small for both of us).
Randy, staring intently at nothing.
The Old Fart with Frodo, on the proch of our cabin–BTW, Kathy took this one and the preceding three–I took the rest with a conventional camera, she scanned the photos and put them here. (Thanks, and a tip of the Greyfox fedora to the webmistress!)
My car. I love it. I blogged about it, I dunno, three or four. times. A 1991 Mazda MPV, it is the best car I ever owned. Everything works, Pioneer sound system is awesome, big V-6 gets 23 mpg highway and goes like a goosed moose when I floor it, it is comfortable and stable, and has amenities like a five-speed automatic tranny, cruise control, push-button four wheel drive, and so on. Paid $2500 for it early this summer, FINALLY paid the loan off recently. Mine–it’s all mine, I tell you–moo hoo ha ha ha.
No clever finish this time. Life is good.

I do hope Bubba comes back. He’s special.
Aw, Dingus went over the hill.
Cool pics! Campbell look like a Calico. Randy is staring into another dimension. That may be where the others are right now, they like to hunt new things once in a while.
No, I am not She Whore Members. But thanks for pointing that out – LOL!
Love the idea of Christoper Walker for President. How awesome would that be?
And I love all of your kitties. I only have 4–that’s about all I can keep up with along with the hubby and 3 sons. I’ve posted lots of pictures of mine too. Gus, the big brown and black tabby has the swirly pattern that I just love–like your Hohner.
Many of my outdoor male cats–years ago when I allowed outdoor cats– would stray and cat around for weeks on end. So hopefully dear Hohner will be home soon.
Things I love:
Sam, Sam with sister Maggie B., Gus, Gus’s sister Annabelle, and the boys, Gabriel, Zachary and Matt.
So pretty kitties
My daughter loved this blog, she was toddling by as I viewed it.
She got all excited and had to climb up the chair into my lap, and point to every kitty, and name all the kitty parts as best she could. (Mama! Eyes! Kitty eyes! Mama! Ears! Kitty Ears! on and on through all facial features and tails and toes too.) She did this for every pic of a kitty or several kitties.
Then we got to the car, and had to inform me what that thing was. (Mama, car! Car!)
Now we have this song that absolutely noone knows. I dont even know what band it is. It’s Japanese techno. Deanna LOVES this song. She calls it the ‘Aye yay’ She saw your car and then deduced that all cars had the ‘ay-yay’ song. And then pointed to your car, and demanded ‘Ride? Mama, ride? pease? Pease, mama?’
When I informed her that this was not possible, she became very distraught and is currently off pouting.
*lol* I love babies!
