I was sitting in the recliner and George was on my lap, just sitting. Suddenly, he stretched and then let out a scream. His little body just twisted up, then went limp...then I felt his bladder release. I was afraid to touch him-I screamed for my dad, who helped me hold him. He let out a couple of little moans and then went quiet. Dad picked him up and ran for the truck, but said he was gone before they left the house. It was very fast, and very unexpected-he's always been such a healthy little cat.
The vet said it was either a heart attack or stroke...we declined an autopsy. George is now with Kitten in our backyard.
I'm numb, I think...the whole thing was over in seconds. I'm so glad I hadd him..and I'm glad that we were together at the end. But I didn't think it would be this soon.
We're all broken hearted here. He was our buddy.
I promise I won't go away...it may be a bit before I'm up to posting or responding to e-amils, but I appreciate you all. I'm glad you loved him too.
Putting our monies where our mouth iz...
Tooday, mom ordered our own contribution to Operation Beanie Babies. She found a seller on ebay with some really good deals on brand new beanies, still in the plastic from the factory. She ordered them last night...they wuz cats, of course!
AS SEEN IN PHOTOS NEW AND IN PRISTINE MINT CONDITION. NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH DISPLAYED OR TAKEN OUT OF THE BAG SAME AS FROM THE FACTORY. 12 ROARY THE LION 12 SNIP THE CAT 12 FRECKLES THE JUNGLE CAT.
Mom was at first looking at the woofer ones, but I'z convinced her dat she shud get da cats instead...stoopid humoon.
Also, Mom and Grampa and Gramma are having an adventure next month. One of the country's largest flea markets is held in Nashville, TN one weekend a month, and they are planning to go to the one being held in March. So if there are any good deals on Beanies there, or cat toys for that matter, they will buy some.
Oh, and for those who were on da chatroom last night...it was an ugly cat figurine annywayz. And she haz three more of those Yankee candles, so big deal if one wuz a little chipped. And that plate should have been put away instead of left out on da counter...I'z wuz just teaching them to put dere things away propurrly...
Sigh...poor liddle meez. Always blamed when things go crashing down.
That'z about it for tooday...I'z think I'z will go lay down with Mom and take a nap. Or eat her hair...her new shampoo smells verry tasty. Cinnamon buns...mmmmm!

A couple of new messages from B.A.R.K.
Hi everybody!
A couple of people wondered about where to send the Beanies.
You have two choices.
You can send them directly to my house, where I'z will carefully document them, put pictures of them on my blog, and add you to the list I'm compiling of the donors and their dedications. I will also get receipts for you if you want to use them as a tax write-off.
Or you can send them directly to the BARK rescue, to the home of my contact and foster mom, Angie.
Here are the e-meows I'z received today...the first is an answer to those who would like a receipt for tax purposes.
Hi,
WOW sounds like you are getting an outstanding response. THANK YOU!!!
I would be happy to send a receipt to anyone that would like one. Just make sure they send a note or something with the amount they sent and their name and address for me to send the receipt to.
Take care,
Angie
And here iz da other one, which is a reply to a query about where to send the collected beanies, since, as one donor pointed out, the only address given was a P.O. box.
Hi there,
You can have them sent to my house at:
********
You can have them sent to my house at:
********
(I'z won't put her address on a public site, but if yoo need it, yoo can e-meow meez at domino102@hotmail.com or at booboodabear@gmail.com )
We won't have any major events until the beginning of May. So if you want to do the beanie drive until then that would be great!
We won't have any major events until the beginning of May. So if you want to do the beanie drive until then that would be great!
Actually its something that can be done year round, because we are always in need of them.
Thank you again for all of your hard work!!!!
Angie
I'z want to thank everyone who has donated so far, and urge anyone who wants to participate to join in the fun!
Yesterday, I'z received a generuss donation from Sweeney and her cats! She donated several cute woofer beanies as well as a kangaroo an a bear! Thank yoo, Sweeney!
Yur name and donated beanies will be added to da list of donors!
On a purrsonal note, I'z wuz playing today wit da groundhawg Beanie. I'z took him in myne teeth and shook him and knocked him around da room. Yoo have to treat rodents like rodents, otherwise, they get uppity.
Later, friends!

Boo Boo Speaks!
I'z hav a lot to say! It'z kinda dark, so you can't see my handsome self-but yoo can hear me!
My meowmie got mad at meez da other day...
I'z pleaded da fifth. I'z innocent until prooven guiltees.
So she put dem all away in a big glass box, where I'z couldn't play wit dem anny more.
Not dat I'z did. Because dat would be bad, and Boo Boo Cats don't do bad things. ((looks around shiftily))
Sigh...Poor liddle Boo Boo. Always accused (but neffur convicted!)
Why iz it alwayz meez who iz blamed?
Stop ogling my booty!
I'z think I'z can still reach da ones on top...not dat I'z would. Cuz Boo Boo catz don't do bad things...
A lazy Sunday...
Hey everybody!
Today, I'z just laying around being handsome. It'z verry hard work.
I'z wanted to post the e-mails that my meowmie received from da BARK rescue. My foster meowmie Angie replied to da e-mail dat mom sent telling her about Operation Beanie Babies.
I'z have decided to extend da deadline to my Gotcha Day, which iz March 12. So dat will give everybody dat wants to participate an extra week. It doesn't matter if it's one Beanie or 50-every single one counts.
Yoo can donate them in da name of a lost pet or friend or family member. I'z will incloode any personal messages or pics yoo choose to send.
Anywayz, heer iz da e-mails.
Hi Melissa,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING OUR RESCUE!!!! You have no idea how much we appreciate your help with collecting beanie babies for us!
The pick a stick game is one of our biggest fundraisers and we are always desperatly in need of beanies for it, and it can be beanies of any shape or size. Anywhere from the teenie beanies to the large ones.
Thank you again, Angie
Hi Melissa,
Wow, I can't believe it has already been 2 years! I know Boo Boo couldnt have got a more loving and caring home.
I did get the beanies from the one girl on the board and lost her address. PLEASE tell her thank you and how much we appreciate her generous donation!!!!
Everyone at BARK thanks you and all of your friends on the cat board.
We couldnt do what we do without great people like you!!
Take care,
Angie
I'z remember Angie very fondly...I'z used to eat her hair and pounce her woofers. Ahhh...sweet memories...
Fanks, everybody!

Annybody got anny Beanie Babies
that they would like to donate
to a woorthy cause???
February 26th, itz will be two years since my meowmie lost George da Orange.
The world's cutest tushie...
(GdaO's short tailed butt, da cutest booty inda world, according to my meowmie. She'z obveeously deranged.)
March 12th, it will be two years since I'z came here to add a little excitement to these humoons' drab, boring, insignificant little lives...
(Meez in the Baby Bonnet of Doom, soon after my arrival)
My first booty shots...a sign of things to come.
My meowmie came up wit an idea to honor meez an GdaO...heer it iz, in her own words...
"The picture at the head of this blog entry gave me an idea...if you would be interested in participating, please email me at domino102@hotmail.com or Boo Boo da Bad at booboodabear@gmail.com
Boo Boo was saved from a shelter by the B.A.R.K. rescue group, where he had been dumped after being four claw declawed. He was a crazy little nutjob who bit everyone and pounced other animals, but he was saved from the gas chamber and driven over three hours south to come live with me.
(I've often thought that the rescue people who drove 3 hours with Boo Boo in a small SUV deserved something special in return...George was bad enough on that long trip, and HE was sane.)
BARK saves a lot of unwanted and abused animals...here is their website.
They raise money in a variety of ways, like any other rescue. One is a carnival, in which people play and win Beanie babies. So they are always in need of Beanie babies.
I was thinking of asking around and collecting any new/used beanies and sending them in, in memory of George and in gratitude ((???))for Boo Boo.
I'd include a monetary donation from myself, and maybe a few cat toys, and a note listing everyone who sent me a Beanie.
I can't give away the Beanies in this picture, because they're part of Boo Boo's gang, and I don't want my kneecaps busted. But I have around 5 or 6 that I bought myself that I don't need.
If anyone would like to donate a Beanie for the box, whether new or one you just have lying around gathering dust, please email me and let me know.
I'll probably be mailing the box around March 7, so any time between then and now would be great.
Here is where they talk about the beanies...
I'z hope dat everyone wit a spare Beanie will participate...cuz dey izn't gettin myne!
Fanks fur reading!

Cooking Wit Boo Boo...
Tonite, my frends, I'z dined upon...groundhawg! Oh, don't look at me like that...the little lying bass-turd deserved it. My 'tocks are freezing!
Anyway, I'z came up with a wonderful recipe to use up all of these worthless groundhawgs that can't even do one simple little thing like predickting when spring will get heer without screwing it up.
And I'z feel dat it iz my doody as an American to share my great recipe dat I'z made up myownself wit da rest uv da country. Maybe even da world, if they are silly like us and expect accurate weather predictions from a rodent.
Boo Boo Cat's Stuffed Rodent Wrap
Ingreediants-
1 Fresh Groundhawg (I'z prefer da original TY beanie baby rodents myself, but I suppose dat da dollar store knockoffs wud do in a pinch...)
1 flour tortilla. Size depends on da plumpness uv da rodent being wrapped in it
Yoo can cook him, az I'z did, or yoo can eat him raw, according to yur own personal preferencez.
I wudn't recomended trying to eat him alive, tho, cuz den he mite escape.
(picture of stuffed groundhog, wearing a black tophat and bowtie, sitting in a small frying pan on the stovetop)

Place da rodent on a tortilla. Note there are no veggebles. Dat iz because vegebles are for losers on da bottom uv da food chain.Like, for an example...groundhawgs!
If yoo wanted, you mite season him wit a bit of salt and catnip. Just watch the sodium. Bloating is rather unattracktive...

Bring up da sides of da tortilla, creating a rodent wrap.
Devour half uv it and leeve da rest fur yur meowmie...she will really appreciate yur thoughtfullness in providing her with a meal she didn't have to cook herownself.
Take a long nap, to aid in digestion.
Boo Boo catz can really cook
Unbelievers take a look
I fried dis groundhawg in a pan,
An then I ate him like a man...
Emeril Lagasse has nuthin on Boo Boo. Martha Stew-wart...watch out!
Next I'z will tech yoo how to make litterbox sculpturez yur humoon will scream about!
With luv, from da Boogeyman!
