We haz a sad.

It is with great regret that we report that Galletta went to the bridge on December 23.  He had been suffering from hyperthyroidism and possibly other health concerns.  Galletta was one of a kind.  He was our official greeter to visitors, kitten trainer, and all-around lovely gentleman cat.  He was a triple grand champion in the Intenational Cat Association (TICA) and agrand champion in the American Cat Fanciers Association (ACFA).  He will be sorely missed by all who met him. Thanks very much to Zoology for the photo.

 

A Very Sad Dae-I haz a sad.

 Last Wudnesdae was a vury sad dae of all of us at de Castle.  Our friend and many times grandmother, Alexi, crossed the Bridge to be with her fambly. Dadbean woked up and saw Alexi asleep on top of de micro-wavy macheen wif her head hanging over the side.  She was barely breathing.  Mombean and Dadbean tooked to her da V-E-T and it was time for her to go to da Bridge.  Good-bye Alexandra Dasha, we all love you and miss you.

Many thanks to Zoolatry for the lovely image.

Happee purrthdae, Alexi!!!

O hai! It has ben a long time sense Ai last posted. We is awl well. Mom bean and Dad bean are doin' okay. Todae is Alexi's 17th purrthdae!! We is haffing a partay to celeybrate hur speshul dai. We is havin' a house trashin' partay. All kitties and woofies are invited! Y'all cum!   Here are sum photos of our purrthdae girl!

Making a noo frend

O hai!  I met mai noo howsemate, Ilan,  on Turdsdae.  We performed the normal greeting ceremoni, not the strange ritual of shaking paws that da hoomans do.  Efurrycat knows that yoo must sniff a noo kitty's butt to be certain they will be your friend.  Later yoo must sniff dere butt in the future to bee sure dat's the same kitty and not an impostor.  Ai tink Ilan and Ai will bee gud frends.

We haf a noo member of da family

Deer friends, O hai. We at Krasota Castle are asking you to sai "hai" to our noo fambly member, Ilan. Ilan is faive months old. He is learning English and American cat languaige. All he seems to sai is "purr-rrr". Da beens sai he is sooper-friendly. I haf been sniffin' him. He smells like a cat and a friendly one to me. We all hope you like him as much as we do.

Mine letter to Santy Claws

Deer Santy Claws, Ai am writing (amazing isn't it) to find out if Ai wuz a gud boi dis yeer. I tried to bee-have for mai beans and also to get along with mine brofurs and sisfurs. It's hard when one of them thinks they are the queen the ruler of dee roost. She mai be older but I'm bigger and I'm smarter and I haf all mine teeths. If yoo think Ai was a gud boi and deserve presents, I wuld like to make mine requests known to yoo. Also, I haf the lists for mine brofurs and sisfurs. I even haf their dew claws up. Alexi wud like a noo bed, and a noo pent-house bed-room (the current one is stanky). Max wants more treets and toys. He also wants the recipe for niptinis and humidor of nip cigars. He wud also like a steam locomotive. Note pitchure below.

Maggie wud like nip candy, real live dead shrimp treats, a kitten doll, and a trash truck. Note pitchure below.

Stoli wud like nip cigars, brandy, a smoking jacket, and a mansion. Note pitchure below.

BJ wuld like stinky goodness with chick-hen prepared with temtayshuns as a side each day of January. And a limousine. Note pitchure below.

As for me, I wud like some temtayshuns, nip bourbon, a king size cuddler, and a combine. Note pitchure below.

Dat's it, deer Santy Claws. We is not aksing fur much. We will be happy wif whatefur you have. Oh, bring something nice for our beans, such as cat friendly home. Note pitchure below.

Merry Catmas, deer Santy Claws. We know you love us all, but I know I'm your favorite. Galletta *purr*
