Hi from the Jazzcat Gang!

[jazzcat]

I don't know if anyone noticed but I haven't posted in a few months. I've lurked off and on but just haven't had time to properly reply to anyone's posts. Things have been busy and hectic. My Dad turned 85 on June 3 and his health has been up and down. Yesterday he fell while walking at the park and we spent the day at the ER. He's okay but very bruised, scratched and cut up. He has a huge bump on his head, a split lip and a black eye. His siezure medication level had gotten too high and it makes him lethargic, confused and clumsy - hence the fall.

Anyway, since this is the cat board I will get on to the cats. I still have all seven of my little beasties and they are all well. Even 15 year old kidney patient Ripley is hanging in there. The kittens are now coming up on 10 months old. They are quite the handfuls!

On with some pictures.

Kitten #1, Moxie Moo (who still has to nurse on my hand every night).

Kitten #2, Decker - he's very large and very sweet!

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hoping everything gets straightened out for him quickly.

Love the pictures!! How fast the newest kittens have grown up. Wasn't it just yesterday that Rumor and Rocky were wee ones?

[Laura's Babies]

I have miss you and all the other oldies that seem to have vanished on us around here. Thanks for checking in with us and showing all the fur babies looking as wonderful as ever.

I hope your Dad gets over that fall.... at that age, that is the last thing he needs to be doing (falling down).

[jenluckenbach]

Did you hear a thud? That was Biddy White Whiskers fainting after seeing the beautiful Moxie!!! I told him (when he revived) to stop playing favorites that ALL those kitties are gorgeous.

Dixie says that she'd share her bowl with Rocky any day!

That"s a good looking group you have!

[Kfamr]

So sorry to hear about your father. :(

I will always LOVe Scout. He's one of my favorite PT kitties. :)

[momcat]

Hey there, Jazzcat!!! Great to hear from you again. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad and count on prayers straight from Trenton.
Looking at your team of sweeties was a real treat, how nice to see all your furkids again. Your photography is fantastic!
Please let us know how your Dad is doing?

[rg_girlca]

Oh yes I noticed and no word of a lie, I was going to send you an e-mail.
I'm glad to hear that you and your furkids are doing well.
I'm glad that your Dad is doing well despite the terrible fall he had.

I'm very happy to hear that Ripley is still hanging in there.

I cannot believe how BIG Decker has gotten. Holy Cow!!!! I just can't wait to see how much bigger he gets once he reaches adulthood.

Ummmmmm, my Rumor has gotten, lets just say, a bit fluffy since the last time I saw her, but that close up picture of her is absolutely beautiful.

All your crew are absolutely adorable Lori. Loved all the pictures. :)

It's great to see a post from you. :D

[slick]

How nice it is to see you back Lisa and so very sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope he is on the mend quickly.

Thank you for posting pics of your sweet babies. Are any of them up for grabs??? ;)

[Catty1]

I really hope your dad is ok, Lisa! {{{{hugs}}}}

I can't believe the size of the two kittens! Decker has become a lovely Russian blue type, and Moxie is a lovely tuxie girl.

They are all so wonderful!

Thank you for sharing!

[jennielynn1970]

Did you hear a thud? That was Biddy White Whiskers fainting after seeing the beautiful Moxie!!! I told him (when he revived) to stop playing favorites that ALL those kitties are gorgeous.

Moxie looks A LOT like Biddy!! They are both gorgeous kitties!! :D

[K & L]

Welcome Back! I just kind of returned myself after a VERY long bout of illness. OMG I cannot believe how those kittens have grown. Good to see all you kitties again!

[koxka]

HI! Just yesterday I was thinking I having seeing you posting in a long time...nice to see you are back :)

Decker has turnet out to be a young man, so shiny and sleek. :).It's nice to see Rumor again but then They all look fantastic!

Sorry about your father,mine had been in hospital for two months and now is on a residence to put him back in shape to be autonome again.They raised us, now is our to take care of them.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Welcome back Lori!!!:D I've missed you. I'm so sorry to hear about your father.:( I hope he'll feel better soon. All of your cats sure are gorgeous and I can't believe how big Moxie and Decker have gotten.:eek: My Ziggy has also become a very large cat and will be turning 1 on June 23rd. She's also getting a bit on the fluffy side if you know what I mean.;)

[Killearn Kitties]

So nice to see your name and your kitties again. I was a bit concerned that your Dad wasn't keeping well when you hadn't been about. I hope he improves from his fall soon.

How are the kitties all getting along now?

[ChrisH]

I don't know if anyone noticed but I haven't posted in a few months.
Lori, there must be some sort of PT telepathy going on here! Along with the others even I, infrequent visitor/poster that I've become, noticed your absence. Yesterday I checked up last time you posted, in April, and fully intended to PM you today.

Sorry about your dad. I hope my lot look out for me as well as you do when I get his age. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/CwmmawrJet/Smiles/Hugs2.gif

As for your crew, I see they are just gorgeous as ever, and the pictures are fabulous!

Good to see you back! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/CwmmawrJet/Smiles/attachment-1.gif

[Randi]

It's good to see you back, and all of your kitties. :) Scout looks as goofy as ever. :D

Sorry to hear about your father, I hope he'll recover fast.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Glad to see you back !!! and to grace us with such CUTE pictures too !!!

I love the airplane ears in the first picture !!! soo funny !

[catnapper]

Well, long time no see! Sorry to hear how hectic life has been. ((hugs))) to you and prayers for your dad.

All your cats are looking particuarly wonderful. Rumor's photo belongs on a calendar! Little Decketr is just a heart throb! Allen sends kisses to his girl. And scritchies to all the others!

[Donnaj4962]

So glad to see you back posting again. I am sorry your Dad has not been feeling well. Hope he is soon feeling better after that fall! :eek:

Thanks for the pictures of your gorgeous babies!

[catfamily]

I'm so sorry about your dad being sick and falling like that.I know how much you love and worry about him.
Those pictures of your furbabies...I have to say brought tears to my eyes,as well as a big smile.I love your gang and all you've done for them.They have to be the best cared for cats in the world.
Oh...besides other PT'ers kitties and cats as well. :D
It's so nice to see your gang and here from you Lori :)

[sirrahbed]

NIce to see you Lori! I had to really chuckle at the thought of you having seven "beasties" now :D Remember when getting Rocky & Rumor seemed a bit extreme? Hanging around PT results in more pets I think.

Hope your dad continues to heal up and get stronger. You are such a sweet daughter.

Your gang is looking just beautiful!!

[caffeitina]

Oh my goodness!! How precious!! Thank you for sharing your furry little darlings with us :D

[shais_mom]

oh yes! I've noticed you weren't here!
HAVE MISSED YOU!
love the pics of your crew! :)
welcome home!

[jazzcat]

Thank you all for the warm welcome back, nice comments about the kitties and especially the well wishes for my Dad. I've missed you guys and things already seem more normal by being back and talking with my friends! I need that.

[catlover4ever]

Lori, so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope things will improve soon.

It's nice to see your babies. Ripley is looking good for an old man. ;) Scout still has the most amazing eyes...she is such a looker. All your babies are adorable as always. :)

[kimlovescats]

Hi Lori! I've been gone from PT probably about as long as you have! I'm glad I checked in today to see your post! All your babies have grown up into such healthy and gorgeous cats! You done good, girl! ;)

I hate to hear about your poor Dad ... I know that must have scared you to death! Stay in touch!

Hugs,
Kim

[DJFyrewolf36]

Nice to see your gang again (especially Old Man Ripley, he is such a handsome boy!) Ive been a cronic lurker too, darn life getting in the way of PT time! Prayers on the way to your father, I hope he feels better soon.

[Vermontcat]

Lori, it's so nice to see you posting again, I've really missed you and your kitties.
I'm sorry to hear about your father, I hope he recovers quickly.
Your kitties are all just beautiful, thanks for posting some adorable new photos of them for us. :D

[jazzcat]

Thank you!

Update on Dad - he is feeling better, not too sore and stiff now but he has really nasty black eye and more bruises popping up daily. He's on Plavix (blood thinner) so he bruises easily. I hope people don't think I'm beating him, LOL.

[CultureJunky]

Hey Jazzcat, I've missed your cats and noticed you werent' around posting, it's lovely to see new pictures. I am so sorry to hear about your father and send best wishes for a speedy recovery, it sounds like a really nasty fall.
I hope he gets better soon.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hi Lori, good to "see" you again! :)

Sorry to hear about your dad, but glad to hear he's doing better.

Everybody else looks happy and healthy, and you can't ask for much more than that. :)

[lvpets2002]

;) ;) Adorable babies.. great pics thanks

[Vio&Juni]

I've been missing your kitties - I just love Jazz. But what do I see - what a handsome guy you have in Decker, WOW! If I could steal him....
