Autumn Equinox

 Does the Kitty above remind you of anybody? If you guessed our angel furrend Katie Isabella, you would be correct! Today would have been Kozmo's Birthday and he asked Mom (when she was making the badges) if he could have her on the badge for his birthday!

Here are some flashbacks of the 2 of them! 

Austin (on the left of Katie Isabella) and Kozmo are brothers by another mother. Austin and Kozmo used to LOVE to get together and often Kozmo would bring Katie when they were going out for Fish at the Bulkeley Arms in Austin's home town in Wales.

 

 

Kozmo and Katie like jokes and they Joke around ALOT!

 

 AND with Angel Nellie Bellie having Nip-mohitos!

 

Wow! One year Kozmo went all out for New Years! He took Katie Isabella to Las Vegas! 

I did NOT KNOW that the Tunnel PTUs had a node in the MGM Grand!

It looks like they had a great time! Koz texted me pictures! Of them in their room, of them at David Copperfield's show (he is a resident at the MGM Grand) 

and they saw the Blue Man Group!

I thought they looked a little scary, but Kozmo said they LOVED Katie Isabella and they were super nice to them. They even took Kozmo and Katie to the New Years fireworks show so they would not be scared by the noise.

Kozmo even had a super duper photo portrait made of Katie Isabella! Is she not gorgeous!

It is terrific! She looks like the Queen she is! 

Happy Equinox!

April 6, 2026, Siamese Cat Day

 

We could go all Wikipedia on you and talk about Siamese Cats (here is the link).

BUT this year we thought we would share some of Queen Nellies "Gifts"

 

 

And NOW we will leave you dancing in our red shoes!

 

Siamese Cat Day with Queen Nellie Bellie!

Another name for Siamese cats is Mezzers. 

The term is often used by Siamese cat enthusiasts and is derived from the breed’s distinctively vocal nature, which includes a range of meows or “mees” that can be quite expressive. These cats are known to have a very distinctive vocalization, which can be both endearing and, at times, demanding.

Our Peep was once owned by a small meezer (who had the biggest purrsonality) named Queen Nellie! We asked our Peep if she could tell us WHY Mezzers are the way they are and she said there are 6 things Peeps MUST know when they are owned by a Mezzer! She asked Queen Nellie of she would help tell yous all and Nellie Bellie said YES!

 

1. Your Mezzer has more toys than you did as a child

 

You ALWAYS celebrate their Birthday!

3. You LIKE spending more time with your Mezzer than people.

 4. Your Mezzer MUST give you their "permission" before you pet them.

 

5. You stop whatever you are doing to pet your Mezzer.

5. Everything belongs to the Mezzer! They insist on being pampered!

6. Mezzers always make sure they are there to help you!

I, Marvelous am so THANKFUL that Queen Nellie came to help Mom and Me with this Mezzers Post! AND
We are so glad that YOU came too!

Take a Hike Day

 

Take a hike day is sponsored by the American Hiking Society.
They envision a world where everyone feels welcome in the American hiking community and has permanent access to meaningful hiking, including urban, frontcountry, and backcountry opportunities. Today, we are going to talk about hiking with CATS!

Hiking with Cats is something that used to happen at Casa de Marv when it was home to the Cat From Hell.  Queen Nellie was an outdoor adventurer from the furrst moment that she came to live with Mom. But it does take some time to get us felines ready to go out into the wilds!
It was not hard to teach Queen Nellie to walk on a leash. At the time, Mom (and Dad) were living in Edmonton and Queen Nellie (and Hissy Old Licorice) were indoor cats. Hissy Old Licorice was leash trained and he used to go for walks with the woofie of the time, Kokanee. 

 Furrst, they had to teach Queen Nellie to come when she was called. And she was really good! As a matter of fact, Mom says she was the fastest learner she ever had! When Mom put the harness on Hissy Old Licorice she would put one on Queen Nellie. They would walk around the house and later on, they would walk around outside slowly increasing the length of the walks.
Mom says the most impawtant thing is making sure that the pets are vaccinated and take flea, tick and heartwork treatments, that pets are microchipped and have a collar and tags!

 Nellie liked to walk and chase bugs when hiking, but Hissy Old Licorice liked to be carried in a back pack! 

Snacks and water are impawtant for cats on hikes and you know what? Poopy bags are too! Mom says hiking means you Leave No Trace! This means you pack out all your trash and the kitty (and woofie) poop. 

 There are LOADS of articles (and pictures) of hiking cats on the interweb if you want to learn more about Hiking!

I KNOW that I do! Though I have never been camping and hiking like Jo Jo and Kozmo, I DO dream of camping, hiking and catching FISH at Lassie Lake where they used to go all the time with Mom and Dad (and Cinnamon and Queen Nellie Belle).

Where do YOU dream of Hiking?
