It’s that time of the year. The bane of existence for all of felinedom. The clocks fell back an hour last week. The end of that silly human concept of daylight savings time. The night they add an extra hour of night time when they sleep and ignore us kitties.

Humans are very strange. They invented these silly contraptions called clocks to tell the time. Harrumph, if they need help with that, that is what cats are for. Who needs clocks when a kitty can tell them when to do the important things like waking up, going to bed, cleaning the litter box and most importantly feeding the cat.

Speaking of feeding, that is the most unforgivable of the night they turn back clocks. By adding an extra hour, they delay our breakfast. The horror of having to wait a whole extra hour for food, *paw on forehead, staggers*. I nearly turned to floof and bone everytime time they turned those darn contraptions back.

Now that I am act the bridge I don’t need to worry thanks to the perpetual self refilling stinky dish but for my furriends that haven’t crossed over I feel for mew. Maybe we need to take action. Maybe we should form the Kitty Union and demand no more clocks. Who is with meow?

Wasn’t it a pawty? That is the lyric from an old song but it applied very well to Chez Nelson. I should say apply. Present tense. It is still going strong but I am back at the palace grabbing a quick kip while we prepare for the deluge of kitties looking for a break from the wild festivities. Scott is at the ready. The scritch table awaits.

Kudos to Dory and Buzz and all their assistants. Mew did a bang up job and Hocus Pocus and I are so proud of mew. Make sure the chandeliers are replaced and everything is all tidied up before mew leave later today. I know Momma appurrciates it when we are responsible here in the palace.

Tonight was my least favourite night of the year. It meant stinky goodness an hour later. Yes, it is the dreaded time change in most of North America. Pfft. Your humans will turn back the clocks but do not despair. There is still bum in the face and the other tactics to prevent floof and bones. Take whatever action is necessary. Although with all the pawtying, I suspect an hour more to sleep would not go amiss.

Have a splendid Caturday and be safe, healthy and happy. I love mew.

I hope mew all had a safe and fun Halloween. It's hard to believe it is November. The weather forecast says we are going to be in the mid to high teens all week. I am not going to complain although it may curtail some of the obligatory cuddling that the cold temperatures bring on.
Isn't this a great picture my furriend Ruth made for meow. I love it.
Did those of mew in North America who do the time change remember to turn your clocks back? My family does it during the day on Saturday so they won't furget. I did mention before that they are old.
Did mew know that not everypawdy goes to Daylight Savings Time? I know a lot of Saskatchewan does not. It must get confusing when some parts do but other parts don't.
Any way, we are back on Standard Time and I was a really good girl. I woke Momma at the usual time even though it really was an hour later. I got a really big dollop of stinky goodness for my thoughtfulness.
My family was talking about taking a powder and going away for the day but they decided not. My brother has a nasty cold and my Daddy has a bad neck so it's staying in the Palace for them.
Good!
Hope everypawdy has a pawsome Sunday and recovers from the festivities yesterday.

It is Halloween- or Yowl-oween if mew prefer. Ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. The rain came through from the afternoon and was heavy at times. It appears to be east of us and not that far east. Paws crossed the little ones have good weather for trick or treating.

No tricks here- Momma is getting ready to go to the pool and then pick up some groceries on her way home. Scott is coming with her but she is going either way. She is looking forward to getting back into the pool.

We started the third season of The Diplomat and wow! The story just gets better and better and of course, Aidan Turner is lovely. Not enough of his story line yet. But Momma lives in hope. *Snickers*. She may be old but she is not dead.

Hope mew all have a wonderful Furrday. Stay safe, healthy and happy and tie everything down Newfoundland. It looks like Melissa may clip mew with winds. I love mew.

Purr, trill, coo, chirp, warble, chirrup.

Happy Halloween everypawdy. Even if mew are an outdoor kitty, please stay safe inside tonight. There are scary humans out there and I do not mean the ones in costumes either.
I had a big scare last night. I was sleeping peacefully in MC blanket mode when I had a nightmare at 3 am. I jumped up so high. I can't remember what it was but Momma was quick to pet meow and let meow know I was safe.
I was so scared I got thirsty. I went downstairs and sang a short song of my people to tell her she needed to come down and turn on my tap. The upstairs ones were not acceptable. It had to be downstairs.
I didn't have to sing more than one chorus. She was down in a flash asking meow if I was all right. I went to the sink and she got the message right away. It was purrty impurrsive when mew consider how groggy she was.
Once I was done, we went back to assume the pawsition. I slept peacefully the last couple of hours before we got up.
Momma says I was snoring softly. I thought we got this straight. I do not snore.
She says it was the sweetest sound(*starts to come around*) but it is not snoring. It is nighttime purring.
I heard some of my furriends had really hot weather yesterday. It was drizzly and cool- not even making it into the high single digits C. Today will be warmer and then tomorrow, they expect 20C or 68F. It's November tomorrow!!!!
Enjoy the good weather while mew can, especially the little trick or treaters, and please make sure your kitties (especially black ones) are safe and sound.

Happy National Cat Day to all my furriends. Of course, it should be every day but alas we do not get the respect we deserve.

I hope mew like the Jade video I posted earlier. I just love it and it was such fun to be out with Hocus Pocus, my BFF.

The guys are really sleeping in this morning but Momma is up and has done her half an hour of exercises before sitting down to scribe. There was a loud sharp noise that alerted her just as she was about to doze off again. Wonder what it was. *Look of utter innocence*. A kitty’s work is never done.

Poor Jamaica and Cuba and all the other islands in Melissa’s wake. This is a wicked storm. My paws are crossed and I am purring my most rumbly purrs for all the people and animals.

We are expecting a lot of rain tomorrow. 25cm but nothing compared to what they are seeing in the Caribbean. Wherever mew are, please stay safe and dry. I hope it departs before the kids want to go out on Halloween. Momma says she recalls some very unpleasant weather when she used to take out Scott when he was little. The kiddies do enjoy dressing up. Meow- I never would allow any article of clothing to touch my floofs for more than about 30 seconds. That was all it took to discard the scarf that Momma tried once. Once. She was smart enough not to try anything again.

We finished season 1 of The Diplomat. Season 2 starts tonight. It is sooooo good. As I hope your whiskery Wednesday is. Be safe, healthy and happy. I love mew.

OMC! We had tons of rain yesterday and the day before but it must have been this morning when the front came through.
While I was laying on top of Momma in bed, the wind was whipping madly. Then when my parents went to work out, they told meow that the temperature dropped 5 degrees Fahrenheit from the time they went in to the time they left. Brrrrr. Momma was shivering.
They had to go out again to get the treats for Halloween and got something called a flu shot. I hope they didn't get the shot where I usually do. They were out in public and that just wouldn't be right. *Blush*
Now we are about to settle down to read our current book which I will be reviewing. It's about a dog in WWI who became a hero. Zero-jimmy will like this book a whole lot.
We read one on Jack the Ripper called I,RIPPER that Momma reviewed on Amazon.com and Goodreads. Boy, that was one seriously warped guy.
We got through the Universal Horror Classics last night and tonight is going to be funny Halloween movies.
We are going to watch BEETLEJUICE, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and last but not least HOCUS POCUS. I will be thinking of my furriend Thackery Binx when the movie is on.
Do mew have any favourite funny Halloween movies?
We watched ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEETS FRANKENSTEIN last night. It's so silly that mew got to love it.
Whatever mew are doing today I hope everypawdy has a pawsome Purrsday.

29/10/2025

I just love this. Hocus Pocus and I are out celebrating Halloween. Don’t we look marvellous.

28/10/2025

Momma was so smitten with the kitten. She was always chatting with meow and saying how much she loved meow. She still does. All the time. Even when I am not there, I still hear her.

I heard yesterday was the day that pets from the Bridge could visit their humans. Pfft. With my morph lessons, we can visit anytime we choose. I figured the morph portal would be jammed so, as a regular visitor, I left it to the newbies. Did any of mew get visits?

We finally did our annual Hocus Pocus, in honour of my BFF and the fact that it is one of our favourite Halloween movies, but then we ditched the theme and started to rewatch the first seasons of The Diplomat. OMC! Everypawdy had forgotten what a smashing series it is. Fast paced, tight, well written and superbly acted. Can’t wait to see season 3. It has Aidan Turner too. Purrrrr.

Momma and Scott finished his turnover yesterday. Scott did the grunt work of carrying the keepers but Momma helped him select what he wanted to leave up for Cancun and sort through some things for Goodwill. Today they are off to WalMart, the mall and then Farm Boy to pick up a few groceries. That should give them a good walk about.

Not as cold this morning. 4C is balmy compared to the past couple of days. 12C for a high. Very mice here still but I am sending my most rumbly purrs to Jamaica as Melissa bears down. It sounds like this is going to be horrible. Paws crossed for them.

Have a grand Tuesday with its tacos, tuna, tummy tickles and tongues out. Choose one or all. Giggles. Be safe, healthy and happy. I love mew.

I know mew are going to love this picture of meow. That rocking chair in the background was the one where Sammi outwitted Scott into vacating it by bringing his socks down from his bedroom and spitting them out at his feet. *Chuckles*. She always was the devious strategist. She still is.

We had a double Beetlejuice night. Both the original and the new one and that, my furriends, is the way to watch them. They flow together so well and it is an evening of purr entertainment. It has been mice having two comic Halloween showings. I like them better than the really dark ones.

It is only -1C at the moment. May I say brrrrrr. It will jump back up to 11 but the mornings are the harbingers of what is to come. *Shudders*. Momma got Daddy’s winter clothes put in his drawers and his summer ones in keepers down the basement. She needs to help Scott later this week but she could hardly move after all the picking up and lifting and folding etc. She and Scott both need to pick up prescriptions from the mall so they have decided to do a mall walk and quick grocery rather than the pool. Momma is hoping she can get there tomorrow, unless they decide to undertake Scott’s changeover. The guys carry the keepers to and from the basement but she does everything else.

The mice part though is he will keep up what he thinks he might take to Cancun. Yes, that is fast approaching kitties. Make sure mew have sunscreen and water wings where needed. In the meantime, final preparations are being made for Dory and Buzz’s super duper Halloween bash. Those two have really worked hard. Hocus Pocus and I are impressed.

Here is hoping your Meowday is impressive too. Be safe, healthy and happy. I love mew.

Purr, trill, coo, chirp, warble, chirrup.

It's TBT and in honour of Halloween, here is a picture of meow when I was very young peeking out from under the blanket in the old family room.
No scary movies last night for meow. My parents went to a preview of the movie Inferno so it was just Scott and meow watching his shows.
I was snoozing all comfy in his lap when something happened on the tv and woke meow up with a fright. I leapt into the air like a vertical takeoff kitty and looked at him accusingly. It doesn't matter that he didn't do it. It is still his fault. It's always the fault of the humans.
When they returned home they were all wet and chilled. It serves them right. Going out like that. Pfft. Who gave them purrmission.
It's going to remain rainy and cold all day with some chance of a flurry or two. Sounds like a purrfect day for reading and cuddling with Momma.
I know Momma still has to go out and get the treaties for the kids who will come to the house next week. I stay away from the door since I do not do outside. It is fun to see the really little ones in their costumes. I am happy as long as nopawdy tries to put anything on meow.
I do not do clothes. *Plumps up fur*. I am beautiful au naturel.
Have a furbulous Purrsday and stay safe.

Poor Scott.

His arm was sore from the covid shot on Friday. We had to let him take frequent breaks with the scritch table as everypawdy got together to make finals plans for next week’s Halloween pawty festivities. I am really excited to see all the costumes.

Scott does promise the scritch table will be open for any kitty that needs a rest and a scritch. Grandma’s blanket will also be available for snuggles. A saw some of mew taking advantage when Scott brought it out while they watched some Halloween themed movies. They did funny Frankie movies with Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein and then Young Frankenstein. Both of them are annual favourites.

Please share so that Martin knows his beloved Bonnie is in a loving home.

This is one of Momma’s favourite pictures. It was the deciding factor in which post to choose. No wonder Momma told meow daily that every day when she looked at my face, she fell in love with meow all over. She still does. *Purrs with deep love*

I liked this post too ‘cuz we all complain without even thinking. It has become a default pawsition for so many. I like the idea of a challenge not to complain for an entire day. That means finding the good in everything. I know that can be asking a lot but Momma and I are going to try. Imagine what would happen if the entire world did that! Wow. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing.
*Beams with pleasure*

My trio are off for their flu and covid shots this morning. One in each arm. It’s been over six months since the last covid shot and they always get the flu shot. It is extra impawtant with Scott and Kip.

They had a vampire night last night with, of course, the original Dracula. And they also did a more modern take with Van Helsing. Anything with a young Hugh Jackman is highly watchable.

Looks like we are into a sunny spate with seasonal temps around 10C. I hope all of those in the path of Melissa and the other storms around the world are all safe. Be healthy and happy too. I love mew.

Purr, trill, coo, chirp, warble, chirrup.

It's Caturday which means I can nap the morning away since Momma won't be home. She will be loving Otis and the other kitties at the Humane Society. Since I accepted a challenge from my furriend, Daisy S Snickers, to not complain all day, that is all I am going to say about her leaving meow.
I am so grateful that Hurricane Patricia made landfall much weaker than had been expected. My paws are crossed for everypawdy in its path since it can still be purrty pawful for those impacted.
It's raining here today but my buddy Robert is coming with Nancy for dinner. Nancy and I are furriends too but Robert just loves meow. The feeling is mutual.
That means I had better rest up 'cuz I am going to need all my energy.
Several of my furriends have gone to the Bridge recently and one family lost two furbabies within a week. So while we are enjoying our weekend, my thoughts go out to all of those who are sad.
Make sure mew hug your loved ones and give them purrs and head bonks. I am sending those to each and every one of mew.
Thank mew for being in my life.
Thank mew for being my furriends.
