Name... Big Piney Woods Cats
From... A State Of Winter, United States
Once upon a time, in the far north reaches of Idaho, in a place called The Big Piney Woods, there lived four cats. Three lived inside the cabin; there to be loved, honored, and waited on. One chose to live outside, in the magical woods; there to be loved, honored, and eat mice. This is their blog, as told by them, in smart kitty fashion. You must overlook grammer and spelling; they are cats, after all. You will find their pictures and stories below, in the order they came here, to become part of our family.
Email One Of Us:
Name...Patches Lady
Patches was dropped off in our driveway, on a beautiful fall day in October, 1999. She was two years old, very friendly, and
immediately became queen of the house. She is very vocal; letting me know what is right, what is wrong, and what she wants.
Name...Mittens Pollypaws
Mittens was brought into the shelter, where I did volunteer work, in September, 2000. She was about seven years old. She growled, hiding
under the bedding. Knowing everyone wants purring kittens, I took this polydactyl home to join Patches. She is a biscuit making, purr
machine, older now, spending most of her days sleeping.
"Cats are like potato chips.... you can't have just one."
Name...Mistrie Rose
This sweet, semi-feral torbie has lived in our woodshed, and under the deck since the summer of 2004. She is very tame now,
and lets me pet her, all the while giving me headbutts and purrs. She is a big love, preferring to live outdoors. She has two covered beds under
the deck, and two blankets up in the wood, and plenty of food and water. We love to watch her, playing with the fairies, on a summer afternoon.
Name...Precious Flower (aka Squirt)
A tiny kitten herself,( 8 - 9 months) with two kittens of her own, I found Precious, a silver tabby, in the woods, a mile from our home, starving.
Her kittens, who appeared very healthy, disappeared, after I caught her.
I went back over and over, trying to find and catch them; I am hoping they found a good home.
She has joined Patches and Mittens, in the house (late August, 2006.)
"I love cats because I love my home and after a while they become its visible soul."
Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)
"Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you ..... I loved you so - 'twas Heaven here with you."
In memory of all the furkids who have left this life, to live on, in a better place, free of pain and suffering. Until we meet again.

I am a bit crabilated. It seems Precious (aka Squirt) has taken ofurr the blog. She gets in Momma's face and says please help me, and she looks so sweetly at her, she can't resist. Like yesterday, she had absolutely nothing to say! I am MORE than a bit crabilated. Mittens just doesn't seem to get it. This was The Calico Girls!!

Momma says, if I am good, I can sleep with Edsel'sMom Sue!!! What an honor!!! I will be good, I promise. I won't bite her feets, not much, anyway. I might be shy at furrst. Momma says Edsel'sMom Sue is such a nice lady, luvs kitties, and will be missing Edsel, so I must make her feel at home. Does that mean Edsel'sMom Sue is going to be put in solitary at night? The room she is going to stay in is my solitary confinement place. I don't think it is too nice to put company in solitary, do you?

Precious: Patches, all my furriends think I do a good job of the weather and fortune telling.
Patches: Yeah, right! They are just being polite. You are just guessing.
Precious: But I am guessing right and efurrycat wants me to continue. Besides you aren't my boss.
Patches: I am the Catority Authority and what I say goes, in the Big Piney Woods.
Precious: You are just a bully. Just wait until Wednesday. Wanna box?
Patches: No, and I wish you would grow up.

Patches says she is the Catority Authority and she is firing me from my job as weather repuurter. She gives the reason as "awful weather." She says if I was a weather repurrter worth my salt, I would make it nice in the Big Piney Woods and not just ofurr places. I whapped her on the head.
