Mancat Monday

Tyler: "Mom, can we get past being mopey and sad and just admire how my dark panther furs showed up so silky and shiny in this photo?"

Mom: "Sure, I think I've cried enough tears.  I'm going to miss that old lady, that's for sure." 

Tyler: "She sure was a hissy cat. Do you think she's still hissing at everybody over the Bridge?"

Mom: "I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize Kali without her hiss. Maybe it's how she's saying hello.
'Hisss, my name is Kali. Excuse me and please don't mind my bad manners, but I've always hissed to introduce myself and I don't want to stop now."

Tyler: "Mom, you're dreamin'. I can't ever hear her say 'excuse me' or 'please'. "

Mom: "Well, it is the Bridge after all. She has to be making friends. You never know how being out of pain has changed her mood. And what's wrong with a mother dreaming?"

Tyler: "Okay Mom. Have it your way. Just don't forget to give me some loving too."

Mom: "Like, 'Wow Tyler, you're furs are looking really silky and shiny."

Tyler: "Yep, just like that."

Leave it to a guy to take the attention off a girl. ;)

Tyler really is spectacular. Only a cat can tactfully keep things going sometimes.

I hope you yourself find peace. You are a good human!

Dear Tyler and Tyler's mom,

It's ok to hiss, I think it's quite normal on Kali.
Michico has a friend who has 2 cats, one of the cat hiss all the time, see the link here:

She is cute, but she certainly a hisser, as long as she saw another cat, she hiss, never stop. Michico's friend says this little girl cat started hiss since she only 2 months old, until now she is 3. Never stop. She only hiss less to his cat brother, but she still an angel to everyone~!

So... I believe there are many kittens at the bridge as the same habit like Kali, not to worry at all~!
Kali will have lots of friend, I believe, after all, there are so many kittens must have 1 or 2 could suit for Kali, so not worry at all :)

Big hug to you, Tyler, you are a handsome mancat~!!
Big hugs to your mommy as well~!!! We could cry together time to time~!!!

Purr,
Adan & Michico

pssst...could your mom e-mail ours at kch917 @ sbcglobal.net? she's got something to ask you...about Squillions. (we can't find your e-mail address)

Castle said...

Aw..Tyler is a cutie and thanks for being brave for your Mummy Tyler.

Hope you are doing OK - we are still very sad and missing Stormie so much so I would imagine you are feelng the same...it's very hard isn't it?

I keep imagining that she will stroll into the room any minute and be with us again...but I know in reality this will never happen again...it hurts so much.

I wish we were as brave as you guys xxx

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

You are looking very handsome with your gleaming coat Tyler. Look after your mum.

Daisy said...

My big sister Pixie likes to hiss a lot, too. I think Kali would have been good friends with Pixie: hissy sisters.

I saw your note about Davis; my Mommie and Daddie went to UC Davis. A very, very, very long time ago!

PB 'n J said...

It could be a tortie thing too - Pearl always hisses at me (it may have something to do with me chasing her, but I don't thing so)!

You are looking good today Tyler!

Purrs,
Jake

Mr. Hendrix said...

What a handsome House Panther you are Tyler! I'm sure you make your mommy feel better.

We think all our unique personalities stay with us at the Bridge and all the furries there love us completely with all our bad and good habits. I'm sure Kali's amazing hissing skills are being admired by all right now.

Parker said...

Tyler, you do know how to make a Mommy smile!
Purrs to you and to your Mommy!

Killy's mom: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I missed your previous blog posts. I'm catching up now.

I agree with Jazz, I hope you find peace too. :) My heart goes out to you and your family. It sounds like Kali had a wonderful life and left such great memories.

You have great furs, Tyler. Sending lots of purrs and hugs to you and your family.

Jans Funny Farm said...

We just stopped by to wish you a good weekend. We know you were trying to make a positive post here and it is. But we also know you are missing Kali terribly and still grieving.

So we wanted to leave extra purrs and tail wags.
