Jinx


Nearly two years ago some kindly person dropped off 3 cats near our house. Thankfully they came right up to our home and began meowing woefully. My husband and I had never had pets before and honestly didn't know what to do. Naturally I started feeding them and began wondering what in the world had happened. We tried to find out if anyone was missing 3 cats and when no one claimed them, well they became ours. So Boo, Jinx and Ping joined our family. - Debra S.

**Please don't forget to vote for Kat's Cat one more time!! Today is the last day of voting! Thanks so much for all your votes!

Good morning! Ahhhhh...so nice to be able to read the post!! Ok, Jinx, love his coloring!! Dark charcoal grey with nicely defined stripes! What a handsome boy!

DebraS. - Where does Jinx fit in the scheme of things in the house?

Cali Residents - How's the heat? Power? How's Cairo today, Kathleen?

danielle said...

First Riquel HAPPY PURRTHDAY!!!!!
This is a beautiful kitty you got. He looks like lots of fun.
Kat I like the new design.

Ricki said...

THANKS LADIES!!!

Am I having deja vu, or have I seen this handsome guy before? The story sounds familiar, maybe it was one of his brothers I am thinking about...however I am another year older today, so maybe I am just senile?

At any rate, Jinx is beautiful!

Emma's Kat said...

Jinx and his family, you may have seen on Manx MNews. That is DebraS.' site.

Emma's Kat said...

Blogger and the Blogpoll have been very tempermental!! Danielle, keep trying to post pix! And those trying to vote and getting a server not connecting or down message, keep trying! It will work, you just have to try a couple of times. At least that's what happened to me! I voted for you Danielle! There's a few ahead of you! :(

Lynn said...

Morning all, just checking in before I start work. Kat I love the new look. No more disappearing text! I voted for your site too. Jinx is a cutie, what a beautiful coat. I think one of his siblings was posted before? I remember the story too. I'd love to pet that soft fur. Wonder if Jinx will let me pet him?

danielle said...

I got pictures up!!!!

Katnippia said...

Good Morning Fuzz Family !!!!!!

Jinx, you are a very handsome kitty. You look so cute laying in that basket. I do have to ask, what was he raching for in the picture on the right.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIQUEL !!!!

My herd of wild elephants just roared down the hall and down the stairs, both of them yelling at the top of their lungs! Flumpy is NOT amused at Meepsie's latest adventure in the blogosphere. I have apologised to Cocoa for their bad behavior, but they are both grounded off the computer until THEY each apologise!

Jinx is so sweet, kitties in baskets are just adorable. It's so cute when they don't quite fit!

Another busy day for me--I'm part of a focus group this morning. We have a mailorder quilter's shop in Vancouver, and this group is going to help pick the fabrics for the 2007 catalogs. It should be fun! Then it's the usual get ready for the weekend errands, Whoopee!!

Paul teases me about how he practically has to use explosives to get me off the mountain and down to town. I love my home, town is hot, noisy and crowded, and I have to wear a bra! Oh well...

Meowmepurr's Mumma said...

MPD...

KAT-love the new look!!

DEB-Glad you're feeling better. I LOVE ML's necklace--way to go, girl!!

RIQUEL-Happy Purrthday

ML-Meepsie wants your necklace-she LOVES shiny things!! It is just beautiful & you deserve all good things!!

*** ALERT ***
Check Riquel's blog for a never before printed update on the adorable angel, KC.

Love cats curled up in baskets. Very cute cat. :-)

Kat, I like the new look but I have to say that I dislike custom cursors so much that I usually end up completely disabling CSS when I'm viewing your site to get rid of it (and the Cursor Mania graphic stuck on the page is really annoying -- that's new, isn't it?)

Emma's Kat said...

Anonymous - Sorry you dislike custom cursors so much! I think they're cute! As far as the Cursor Mania graphic, I'm workin on it!! It is quite annoying where it is, blocking the post title. Btw, no fair being anonymous!

ML - Any suggestions on getting the CM graphic to move!? It is pasted in my HTML below my archives code!

Ricki said...

Sheesh! Everyone's a critic!! LOL...I like the new look Kat, except the cursor Icon that is covering up the name of the Cat.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

KC and the Giggleman Kitties said...

Kat, I'll have to go look at the site on Charley's computer. I'm running that new beta that eliminates all the problems (er, those problems, lots of new problems, BIG problems). Since it doesn't show up on mine, it must be related to the same bug that makes the text disappear.

Anonymous said...

Oh My Gosh!! Those are some of the cutest photos ever!!! Jinx looks sooooo cuddly!! What a gift to find at your door!!

caspersmom said...

Jinx you are a handsome kitty. I think Debra S might have posted on GS site with her kitties. Also so glad you took all three and let them rule your life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIQUEL

I too am having trouble posting on my site today. Casper is coming back on. I am going to try one more time then I will have to get off as we are expecting a phone call. See you later.

danielle said...

Kathleen,
That sounds really funny. I hope the toe gets better soon. How did you do that?

Anonymous said...

Kathleen, Very sorry to hear about your toe-must be awfully painful-even at night-hope you can prop your foot up at work.

Glad Cairo got through the surgery ok, our Alex had to have 6 teeth pulled recently but seems to have NO PROBLEM eating after recovery-hope that is the same for her.

ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ about your toe i did that ones %&/("&& man did it hurt

Madness, Trouble, Squish and Milkbone said...

Jinx, you are a cutie. Just look at those feet. Abd I love your coloring.

Emma I like the new look. If you can just move that pesky Cursor Mania thingy.

danielle said...

I finally got pictures on my picture site.

Ricki said...

OOOOUUUUCCCCH...about the broken toe! Now did you break it before, or after you were laughing at Cairo...that Karma thing is a b&*$h....lol

I'm only able to vote once for The Blogs of Summer both at work and at home. When I try again, I get the following message:
"This address has already voted! It is allowed to vote only once for this poll" RATS!

Jinx, you look so comfy in your basket. I put Pumpkin in a basket when I weigh him and he loves it. Of course he starts to bite the edge and then sharpen his claws on it so I have to dump him out quickly when I'm done and sweep up the basket bits! You can see a kitten picture of him in his basket at: http://www.kittenbreak.com/4945. He's graduated to a bigger basket and weights nearly 8 pounds now.

caspersmom said...

Finally got our phone call and also finally got Casper posted.

Really like your new site Kat.

Kathleen, Glad Cairo is feeling a little better. Sorry, but it is kind of funny when they get home after surgery. Cleo acted the same way after being spayed. Sorry about the toe though. It sure doesn't feel good, I broke mine, I think, twice. I'm clumsy.

I got to vote twice, once today and once on the 25th.

Emma's Kat said...

I have in my hands...ML's DLS!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH! Want some hints ML?? Hmmmmm, let me think...............................it's kinda, hmmmm.........pretty! There! Bet you'll never guess. Lol! Ok, going to email a pic to everyone! Ta ta 4 now!

WCTs said...

Sweet!

Meowmepurr's Mumma said...

KAT-I just tried to vote for you again, and I get "This address has already voted! You can only vote once for this poll." I thought we could vote once A DAY!!! What gives? BTW-anyone who has not voted NEEDS TO VOTE!! Our friend Manny is catching up(Sorry, but all's fair...)!!!

Emma's Kat said...

Yes, I guess the Blogs of Summer is new and all the kinks haven't been tweaked out! Everyone is supposed to be able to vote once a day. I had a the same message w/Danielle today or yesterday, don't remember which and I just tried again. I also got the error that the server wouldn't connect or was down or something and kept trying and it finally took. Oh well! I would love to win, but Manny's site is great too!

Jan!? Do you hear that humming!? Someone's humming that catchy tune...oh what's it about?! Oh yeah, it's about a dls...::snickering softly:: ;)

Anonymous said...

Jinx is so cute! i love how he's all squished up in that basket! lol. and the second pic, looks like he could be dancin'! what a sweetie. bless you for taking in all 3 cats. i bet there's never a dull moment in your house. lol

For the EVIL LAUGH personified, uh, feline-ified, see Captain Casper (http://caspermom.blogspot.com/).

i cant get it to work but once sorry

Anonymous said...

I voted from my computer at work today, but it would only let me vote once. So I came home and voted again. I didn't try a second time at home. I'll go try that now.

Anonymous said...

I got the same message as everyone else--that my computer already voted.

Jinx, you are a cutie! I think you need a slightly bigger basket, though.

Kat-new site looks good!

Haven't seen the picture of the dls for ML yet. I think it must be at my work email. Going to try to get into it from home.

Anonymous said...

Keep trying, the little blogger is obstinate, but can be tricked. If necessary, log off and then on again!

Emma's Kat said...

Muahahaha..oh! Sorry, just practicing my evil laughter!

You guys are so great! Thank you for voting for me and being persistent too, as there seems to be some bugs in the Blogpoll system! Haven't checked in a bit, but Manny was right on my heels a little while ago!

ML - Have you figured out how to do a hyper link w/in the comment box yet?! I asked about it over at...shoot! Can't remember who's site I was at! Anyway, I saw that someone had used a link in their comment, so I asked how they did it. Hopefully, no! We will figure it out!

Anonymous said...

Sorry about posting as anonymous yesterday -- wasn't paying attention and my automatic settings had cleared. And wasn't trying to be critical -- just offering an opinion. I think the site is great.

BTW to post a link in a comment, use HTML anchor tags, e.g. Google would < a href="http://www.google.com" >Google< /a > (without the spaces after the < symbols or before the > symbols).

momsbusy said...

jinx is so cute all curled up in his basket. love the other pic too. almost looks like he is making biscuits in the air.lol

kat, love the new look.

Oscar the Puppy Cat said...

OH Jinx, you are so sweet! I'm so happy to meet you! You three chose the right Momma and Daddy! The pic of you in the basket is just great!

Happy Birthday Riquel!
