Flashback Friday with Fireball

We're letting mama flashback to the early 1980's today. Fireball was a young feral boy that kept showing up on mama's patio looking for food....of course there was always food there for him. Within a couple of weeks, mama had tamed him and he moved into the house.

He was definitely a "fireball" with scads of energy. He loved water and also loved to be in high places. He would almost always jump up on the shower stall door when someone was taking a shower....and would quite often join them in the shower!!!!! He spent a lot of time riding around on the family's shoulders. He might have been a total fireball, but mama says he was also a very loving cat.

Once again, please forgive the poor quality of the photos, but they have been around a looooooooooooooooooong time....:)

Have a fantastic weekend!!!!!

Friday Flashback - Angel Sookie

Today we're allowing mama to flashback to the 1970's and our Angel Sookie.

Here's a bit about Sookie. One day mama heard a kitty meowing at the front door. Soon there was a noise at the door, so mama went to investigate....and there sat Sookie looking up.....she meowed to mama and mama talked to her. Mama figured she belonged to someone in our neighborhood, so walked away after a bit.

To make a long story short, Sookie was determined to live with mama....when bumping against the door didn't get it to open, she started climbing up the screen door and meowing. She hung at the top of the screen door and meowed until mama opened the door and lovingly took her off the screen and into the house. There was no doubt that she had picked mama!!!

Sookie was totally at home from the start...she loved the whole family and was the best lapcat mama ever had. Our G-Ma named her after a kitty she had had when she was a young girl. Mama and the family had a love affair with Sookie for over 20 years!!!!!

The pictures aren't very good as they were taken "way back when" cameras weren't as good as they are today. :)

Sammy loves the fact that Sookie was a short haired version of "Himself"!!! We both wish we could have known her.

Friday Flashbacks - Angel Sunshine

Mama was going through some old photos the other day from the 1980's. She got so excited over some of the kitty pictures she found that we told her we'd like her to have Flashback Fridays for some of these kitties that she loved so much.

This is Sunshine ~ who appears in our sidebar in angel form ~ The pictures aren't very good cuz they were taken so many years ago. The collage can be clicked on to enlarge it.

Could her and Andy be related???????
