Changes

Hi Everyone,

Happy Mother's Day!

Yes, we're back...  We have some good news on where we've been, and also some sad news.  The reason we've been away so long is that our Mom had gotten a job in Illinois (we were previously in Virginia) so she packed us up & moved us across country (we were drugged in the backseat, screaming the WHOLE way - Mom was ready to pull her ears off of her head, it was awesome!)  Then we didn't have internet for a long, long time!  When we finally did, my Grandma called & said that our brother, Austin was full of cancer.  He was in terrible pain & so Mom gave her consent to let him go.  She was so sad for a long time after that & didn't feel like doing much...  We've been cuddling with her a lot & she says that helps.  I think she just wishes that she had been able to keep Austin until the end - they had been through a lot together.  She just got worried when she couldn't keep his thyroid levels under control & JayJay was starting to beat up on him (I know it's mean, but we cats know when one of us isn't as strong as he used to be & well, you know...).  She thought that he would be happier in a household that didn't have a threatening environment & Grandma loved him like he was her own. (BIG sigh from Mom)


Anyway,  now we live in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.  The townhouse that she chose for us (yes, the woman works for us) is nice & quiet - that is, until we start with the THoE games...  It's great here!  

We hope all of you kitties are cuddling with your Mommies today as a special thank you for all that they do!

  1. Oh, we are so sorry about Austin. We were sad when he went to live with your mom because we knew you would miss him, but to lose him so soon and so suddenly would be heartbreaking. Purrs and tail wags.

    And Happy Mother's Day to your mom.

  17. Hello and welcome back! We are so sad to hear about Austin. We know that you all loved him very much, and he knew that too. Now he is probably at the bridge having a wonderful fun time and feeling great.

    And oh, welcome to Illinois!! We are there too - but we have always been. We think you will like it - mom is curious if you are in the north, south or west suburbs. She thinks it would be funny if you were near where we are. If you have any questions about the area let us know!!
