Repost From Zoolatry

PLEASE DO THIS ~

We've just read on The Cat Blogosphere that the wonderful Rumblebum has lost their blog access.  Not long ago this happened to sweet Stella, of Stella's World and we tried, without success, to help her retrieve and restore her lost blog.  And there have been others who have had this happen.  There are millions of blogs out there, and sadly an almost equal number of spammers, scammers and hackers.  Some do it simply with malicious intent, others have more serious reasons.  But when your blog has been compromised, the reasons why matter little.  Many of us spend a lot of time, energy, imagination and talent to create our blogs and to lose them is extremely upsetting. 

I am not at all a technical person, and not computer-savvy.  But I do know there is one simple step we can each take, ideally on a monthly basis, to BACK-UP our blogs.  This will not necessarily protect your blog name/title (or link) and it may not protect your email address used to access your blog.  What it will do is allow you to restore your blog, as it was on the date the back-up was created, using a new link and email (if necessary).  Many of you may already back-up to external hard drives or other sources; or even onto CDroms.  Whatever method you choose, it should be done regularly.

As I am not computer-savvy, if any other blogger has suggestions to add, please do so.  Post detailed information on the "how to's" on your blog and share with the rest of us, or email ZOOLATRY and we will pass the information on.  Thank you.

It's FALL Already??!

This is Jay's tent...  Normally it sits upright...

 

...But that doesn't stop Jay from using it!

Jay:  WHAT??

A Thank You Note & A Gift...

Nico: We would like to say thank you to Bin & her kitties (including Lucky!) for such a lovely note & an unexpected (& awesome!) gift.  We sent a little donation last year to help Bin take care of poor Lucky's wounds... (Warning: some images may be disturbing).  We are SOOOO glad to hear Lucky has made such a WONDERFUL recovery & look forward to reading fun, happy posts about him & his new family for many years to come!!

 
Jay: WELL, SHE TRIED & TRIED, BUT SHE JUST COULDN'T GET A DECENT PICTURE OF US PLAYING WITH OUR NEW GIFT...  SO FINALLY, SHE SETTLED ON A GOOD PICTURE OF ME SNOOZING WITH MY NEW FAVORITE PILLOW!!

What The??

Nico: Mom, it's not what it looks like...

...I just did it so he'd leave!

Simon: What the??  ...I feel SO used!!

Ducks... Er Cats In A Row

Nico: Take the picture fast, Mom - this opportunity won't last... 

(if I don't see Simon, I'm fine - Wait, what do you mean he's RIGHT behind me?!)

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, SIMEY!!!

It has been a whole year since Simon joined our family & we love him more now than ever!!  (yes, even Nico...  Sorta)  WE LOVE YOU SIMEY - ALWAYS & FOREVER!!

For anyone who's interested, here is Simon's very first post with his story of the day he moved from Kentucky to Chicagoland!

Sleeping In...

Simon: I'm going to win Nico over...  & in time he'll let me get this close without being sound asleep!

Sunbeam!!!

Simon: S-S-S-T-T-R-R-E-E-T-T-C-C-H-H!!!  

...This sunbeam's AWESOME!!!

Tuesdays, well... Thursday with JayJay

Jay: MOOOMMY!!!  ARE YA DONE WORKING YET??  

Boundaries...

Simon: Hiya!!!  Wanna Play?

Nico: NO!!  In fact this is MY bed - you can't cross THIS line!!

Seeing Double...

Nico:  I sense an ominous presence nearby...

ps.We are SO sorry for not getting around to visit OR post, our *ahem* caretaker (who was once called "Mom") has gotten so busy with "werk" that she has been neglecting EVERYTHING!!!  We thinks we may need to engage in a nightly midnight discussion with her so that she changes her schedule to more kitty-friendly activities...  After all, WE don't need green papers, Ms. Caretaker, why should you?

Sharing

Jay: SEE NICO, SOMEONE WILL SHARE WITH ME!!

Simon: That's funny, I don't remember inviting you...

(Not) Sharing

Nico: Ain't no way you're sharing this blankie with me kiddo - BEAT IT!

Jay: MEANIE!!

I know It's Not A Comedy, BUT...

Simon: I just LOVE watching those woofie training shows...  MOL!!

...I'd pay good green papers to see a human try that stuff with a cat!!

(No offense intended to any woofies reading this!!)

Guess where I am!

HEHE!  NO ONE WILL FIND ME IN HERE!  CAN YOU GUESS WHERE I AM??

Nico: Yes, Jay - you're in yet ANOTHER bag...  Real original!

HAPPY 2011 EVERYONE!!

New Hairdo?

Jay: WHA??  DID I GET A NEW HAIRDO??  

NAH...  I JUST WOKE UP - IT WAS NICE & COZY UNDER THAT BLANKET!!

Nico: Mom has been using most of her spare time to paint lately...  NOT helping us kitties visit!!  As if that's a reasonable excuse, but here's some of the pictures she's been painting...

Happy December to Everyone!  We promise we'll be around to visit soon!

Simon's Shakedown Technique

Mom: So every time I sit down to eat, I have to contend with Simon & his persuasive shakedown technique...

First he stares at me & meows, then he flops down next to me with this face - 

Next he rolls around looking really cute - 

If that doesn't work, he gets up & flops down next to me on the other side - (sorry, the lighting wasn't too good)

*sigh* Finally I give in & give him a little piece of chicken...  

But then, the other carnivores in the house are alerted - 

Nico: What'cha Eatin'??
