HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Nothing like wearing your heart all the time!
MOMMY GOT LOTS OF HEAD BUMPIES TODAY, AND I GOT EXTRA CANNED FOOD. I THINK I LIKE THIS DAY.

Here it Comes!
Mommy thought you would like NEW pictures of snow outside our windows. These are from this morning, you see, and we have a Winter Snow Warning. We are supposed to get a lot of snow like in the northeast.
The first one, above, shows you more of our window sill outside and the parking lot down below.
This one shows you more of our neighborhood, and the streets and houses.
And the one above shows you what I plan on for Easy Sunday.
We had somebody knock on our door early this morning. Mommy was up. First she thought it was someone at our neighbor's door (he has lots of friends in the building and also lots of grandchildren). Then she realized it was our door. She peeked through the spyhole, opened the door with the chain on and said for the person to go away, she didn't know them. Actually she used the h word after go the and before away. No, mommy isn't normally rude. We have had problems in the building with strangers knocking on doors and asking for matches or cigarettes or "companionship". A few weeks ago we were woken up in the middle of the night with somebody knocking at our door! These people have snuck in the building, usually with people being officially let in or using their keys. Our volunteer security doesn't last all night every night. That was one of the alerts at the last council meeting. Chain your doors!
That, I hope, is the excitement of the day. Other than the snow. We're hearing a lot of sirens today, so we don't know if it is accidents or emergencies or both.
By the way, Chip In is ending next month on March 8, so if you want to use it to donate to anyone using it (including us, please) please act accordingly. After it ends we will be using PayPal directly for donations.We still need monies for medical expenses.
Mommy took a couple of other pictures of me this morning, but they didn't turn out. Ha, Ha!
Stay safe and warm, all,
QUINN
ps. We just looked out the window and it's snowing harder. Khyra, can you come play?

Wednesday Wordy
Okay, this is the picture:
Well, it really looks sort of like this:
That's right. Snowing again!
Mommy wented to her meeting last night and resigned from Movie Night. After almost two and a half years, and paying for movie rentals herself (even when she couldn't afford medicines!) she said enough. So I get her on Thursday evenings! And she gets to buy me more Chicken Soup for the Catlover's Soul.
Now, we are not re-embursed for plugging this food. Wish we were. It would help mommy out. Anyone know how? I just love it. Really, you gotta try it sometime. I don't like treats, and this is the highlight of my mornings! The canned adult food is NOMS!
It is so snowy out I am going to hide in my diet Pepsi box and snooze.
So, have a sweet Wednesday, everyone!

Monday update.
You wouldn't believe this but Mommy had me on nursie duty AGAIN. She was sickie this weekend, so while I missed the PuppyBowl (and I really wanted to see the half-time show adorable kitties) she had pre-set the tv to tape it! So I still get to watch! Anyway, when she calls, I answer (when she is sick). I rush up to the bed and jump up by her shoulder and keep her comfy. I was sooo busy this weekend with my nursie duties!
This morning, after giving me my Chicken Soup for the Catlover's Soul ( mixed with a little water) she watched some of the SuperBowl adds, and I must say, for the most part, I wasn't interested. But the darling Clydesdale baby story brought a tear to my eye (and mommy's). THAT was well done! Four-footed animal adds usually rock, and that one was excellent!
Yes, she is once again feeling better.
Her horrible pictures of me were taken with a zoom, and she hasn't mastered a good outcome. She needs practice!
Listen, I don't have laser evil eyes, and the floor in the kitchen is white, and so are the walls, and the door is light blond. She took this from the living room. What did I tell you? Halloween is passed! Yuck!
Maybe she can take evil looking pictures for scary movies?
Practice, practice Mommy! Or evil-dom beckons!

Hi, there!
We are so sorry we haven't been around. Mommy has been having a really hard time with stuff. She was off her meds for a while and very very sad at losing her best friend. Nothing has been going right. It's very very cold out. They changed the lock in our front door (well, that was good, it locks now really well). The pictures she tried to take of me were yucky. She's almost had it with movie night. She's worried about some medical bills she has to pay (oh, hey, the insurants stuff is up to date!). It goes on and on.
I have taken up a position right by her shoulder when she goes to bed and I purr for her. That's about the best I can do. I really do appreciate the fact that she bought me nice foodies, but I just don't like Fancy Feast Elegant Medley. Or Denties. Or Temptations. I tolerate the Purina stuff, but I only eat it cause I get hungry. I do however LOVE my Chicken Soup for the Catlover's Soul. That canned stuff is supreme!
She did give me an awesome Diet Pepsi box to hide in. All right, it was empty, I put it on it's side, and then I claimed it. That's what cats do.
We couldn't get the spiffy new Cat Blogosphere badge to work. Well, nothing has been going right, right? Anyway, I am going to work on her to get back to blogging, and

that didn't work, right?
If someone can help with that, mommy would appreciate it.
If you could ease some of the financial bind, that would be
great, but I know there are more needy people out there.
Mommy hates to even mention it, but I know she
would appreciate it. Our font is doing weird stuff too! Help!QUINN

Wordy Wednesday
Decision is still out on my new kitty food. Purina One Smart Blend Indoor Advantage. That's what was delivered by the nice college student. I'm thinking I miss my Friskies, but, as I said, decision is still out.
The maintenance man came today to fix the door lock. I hid. As is typical, mommy says, they didn't really fix it, they just said turn the key before the door closes all the way shut. Humans! She said they messed the new door frame up when they remodeled and it's showing it finally. She said hanging doors is a lost art form, apparently. Like painting. We have frame paint on some of the walls. Where it's only supposed to be on the door frames. Duh. Mommy said she painted houses the summer before her senior year in high school, and saw the correct way to do things. That was in the dark ages. Times have changed.
Mommy fell last night and crashed the tv stand. The tv is fine, but the poor old wooden thing has one of it's legs just propping up it's side kinda crookedly. She has to figure out how to replace the thing (the whole inside of the leg broke to shreds) on no budget.
After all, she bought me kitty food first, right?
We are dipping into the freezer next week, the tv man said (before mommy broke the stand). I am so glad I have a warm home!'I guess this is my Wordy Wednesday!

Tuesday Update
I'm making mommy blog today or else. Actually things are kinda happening here today, so she has to keep alert. I understand maintenance will be here today to look at the lock on our door. Seems to be having a hard time locking, which doesn't make mommy very secure. Or me.
And then tonight we will be getting a foodie delivery. Not a very big one, though. There is no money for lots. But mommy said I am getting Purina One for my weight control, since I seem "to be getting piggy about food". Anyone try this dry kibble? Am I going to starve??
I have also found a new hiding place behind the laundry thing on wheels. Nice and quiet and dark and just the right size. But mommy says she is worried I am hiding too much. Am I, kitties? Do I need a kitty therapist?
I have tried two human foods: mashed sweet potatoes and baked bean juice. I was interested in mommy's hot chocolate, but she said it was definitely NOT for kitties.
Mommy is doing better, but she is still having a bad time. At least she is keeping up with my foodies and my litterbox and my water and my massages and my belly rubs. But she has a hard time with her foodies and her meds. She misses her friend a lot. And with worries about paying for foodies and meds and doctors and insurance and other stuff and my health (? Oh, I get it. She's a mom), she is not very happy.
If you could help financially, that would be wonderful. If you can't, keep those nice comments coming.
We are supposed to be in a deep freeze outside, so I am really grateful for my nice warm home, and worried about outside animals. Anyone with warm temps, send them here for all the outside animals, okay?
love,
QUINN
Oh, and if you know how to make an avatar with my special nose, let mommy know?

Thank you
Hi. Any one miss me? I'm still here!
Mommy has been very very sad. We will get back to blogging. We aren't going to go away permanently or anything. But, Mommy is having a hard time with losing her best friend. They talked several times a day, and knew each other for a long time. They used to live very close to each other.
At first mommy cried a lot, and I was so upset as how bad she was I threw up. And that was my first time ever here! And of course, it was on the daybed. Not the nice easy tile floor to clean up. Oops!
Today she gave me a nice long massage and a tummy rub and I purred really hard and think that helped her a lot (I was very pleased, too).
And I have been talking to her a lot. Meow! Meow! She needs another best friend. I mean besides me. Any volunteers?
Anyway, I have been getting her to read your blogs and stuff, and I want her to do some work on my blog. It's not Christmas any more! But, paw by paw, things will get back to normal here.
Thank you for your lovely thoughts. You all are so kind here.

Notice
Mommy's very best friend passed away. We will be back soon. Mommy is very upset. She will continue to read blogs for me in the next couple of days, but we will not be commenting or posting.
She requested a "welfare check" and ended up speaking to a medical examiner investigator. Mommy needs time to grieve. This is quite a shock. They won't even tell her how her friend died.
No comments are necessary. Thank you for understanding.

Happy New Year!
HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The fireworks were kinda not, and I think it was because it was too cold out for humans to stay out long. So New Year's Eve was not bad. We have been very cold outside in Minnesnowta, and I am very glad I have a nice warm home inside.
Mommy has already given me my wet food today (Chicken Soup for the Catlover's Soul--Yum!) and a COUPLE of massages and rubbies and that is the way to start out the new year, let me tell you! Now all she has to do is clean the litter box. A-hem. Okay, after I dictate this is fine. Shoulda been this morning BEFORE the wet food and the rubbies and massages.
Anyway, it is foggy and snowy and white today. And not quite as cold as it has been, but whatever! It's Minnesnowta, right? And now that I have had my noms and my massages and what nots, it is time for a bath.
Really, mommy. I know I am agile and you like to show me off, but do I take pictures of you when you are getting clean?
Well, do I? Sheeshh.
Whatta ya know. A sort of belly shot! Well!
Well, anyway, I hope for all of you this year a little less sorrow, a little less pain, and a lot more snuggles. And I thank you all for being our friends, and making me feel welcome in my new furever home, and helping mommy with her monies for necessary stuff like medicines and doctors and foodies and insurance. We would not be as happy if mommy was continually worrying about such stuff. Definitely!
Yes, mommy, even though I don't like hamm pizzas (or any human food for that matter). I purr. That should be enough for you. Now clean the litter box!
love to all,
QUINN
