Feline Friday ... YIKES!

Steven hosts Feline Friday and this week, I captured Ikaikalani going "YIKES!"  Apologies on my late entry this week ... we were busy on Friday, hands full with Princess Kaylyn in my care as the Dr's brought her new sister into this world!  We had just arrived home from visiting baby sister at the hospital, and she threw herself on the floor with the cats and started loving on them all!  Ikaikalani's look was priceless!

Feline Friday (test mode)

This may be a bit premature, but I just wanted to test out the WOOHOO in time for Feline Friday!  I have compiled a collection of kitty photographs going back only two years.  Secret is only pictured once, though we have had her the longest.  You will find Kaui and Kolohe also as wee kittens; KeAloha (formerly Ms Kitty) with her kittens Hiwa Lani, Ikaikalani, and Nohea as they grow.

  
Assuming that all went well with the html, I hope you enjoy this collage of cats residing at Redbird Inn.  Oh, by the way, I slipped in a surprise appearance by one of the barn cats, Oscar (tabby) ... did you spot him?  Join the others for Feline Friday at Steven's (sometimes)photoblog.

 

Feline Friday - Once upon a time . . .

Time is slipping by.  The kittens are getting bigger.  They have developed their own personalitles, yet when napping, they all have the same personality in their peaceful slumber.  I've miss the last few feline fridays, so am digging into my recent archives so I don't waste some of these precious shots of the kittens (before they get TOO big! )
           
 With SEVEN cats in the house now, it's not unusual to find all sorts of "feline photomoments" ... Nohea woke when I shot this picture so it looks like she is in deep thought .. perhaps planning a surprise attack on a  slumbering Hiwa Lani?  hehe
   My excuse for lack of blogging lately, is none other than a ROYAL visitor, Princess kaylyn.  She's earned a spot on Feline Friday this week with special loving on Kolohe.
               
    Please don't forget to take a peek at the rest of the  Feline Friday entries at Steven's "(sometimes) photoblog" sometime later Friday ... many others have linked their feline entries under the comment section!  Enjoy!  Aloha Friday to all ~

Round Robin Challenge / Feline Friday

I feel almost gipped ... I dont have a favorite "watering hole" per se!  However, I DO have a Favorite water!  Favorite soft drink!  Favorite sport drink.  I've recently been on a trip down south, more specifically Alabama, and it was AFRICA HOT I tell you!  Coke is my preferred drink, an ICY COLD COKE.  However, there comes a time when ONLY WATER will do .. then it's an ICY COLD DASANI!!!
I am a little (okay, A LOT) behind in journaling this month ... <mybest excuse> While in Alabama, I helped the kids get on the road and make the move to our glorious northern state, and now am privileged to have my grand daughter with me daily!  There are not enough minutes in a day when there is a young child in the house!  SO, to make me work through this quickly, I have combined Round Robin Challenge with Feline Friday, but I promise not to be this lazy too often!
            
Nohea seems to be the most photogenic today, well for that matter, most of the time.  I caught her napping on the window ledge and decided she could pose with my favorite beverage. 
Please check out the other Round Robin Challenge entries, and a big THANKS to Maryanne for our current challenge; and also Feline Friday. hosted this week by Julie, Abby and Midnight

Feline Friday ... Secret Fountain

Secret is the least likely to put in an appearance for Feline Friday, so I had to dig deep into my archives for this favorite one of mine.  She was drinking of the fountain ... it sure gets hot in Texas!!!

 This week, Julie of Stately Barrett Manor is hosting our Feline Friday.  Please check her page and visit all the other listed Feline Friday participants, you'll be purrfectly happy you did!

Feline Friday - - Aloha Friday

It's Feline Friday!  This week, I thought I'd do something a little different.  The Round Robin Challenge just launched a "Flower Power" challenge, and I still have flowers on my mind!  No worries, I won't be doing this very often ~ the cats were just not very cooperative!  

In this first picture, I found Kolohe and Kaui on the guest bed in my craft room.  Kaui thinks everytime I go upstairs, I need to go in there ... she races me and charges into the room hoping I would follow!
 

Here you see Nohea upstairs next to my hat boxes.  I'm not so sure the wallpaper compliments anything, but Nohea's coloring broke up the clash of colors.  I put a flower hair tie on Hiwa Lani and she made a cute Aloha Kitty! 

  

I couldn't bring myself to do the flower thing with Ikaikalani, but he jumped on the table next to the honu (hawaiian sea turtle) and I was able to capture the shot beforehe ran off.  Kolohe, means "rascal" and he certainly is!  He loves to climb up my illuminated palm tree, earning him the PERFECT Aloha Friday snapshot.

I hope you all had an Aloha Friday!  Please check out Steven's (sometimes) photoblog,  host to this wonderful weekly event!  While there, please also check out the other cat enthusiasts listed in his comment section! 
        HAPPY   INDEPENDENCE   DAY   TO   ALL  ! ! ! ! ! !
