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  ! ! ! ! ! !

OH NOOOOOOOO ! ! !

I roamed about the property this afternoon looking for interesting subjects to photograph. Got some mushrooms and other interesting items for future challenges.  I headed to the pasture to check on the girls.  There's usually always something worth capturing on film out their way.  I almost choked as I saw Maile laying flat on her side, head turned up ward.  Oh My GOSH ... Lord, please don't let her be DEAD ! ! ! 

Why I did what I did next is beyond me!  I snapped a shot of her, THEN I called out her name ... it looked like she was breathing ... her belly heaved in and out  ever so slowly ... good sign ~ at least she was not dead, YET.  "MAILE!" I bellowed (don't laugh!  I really can bellow if deemed necessary!) A startled Maile shook the flies off her nose and stood up very fast.  AAAAAAAAARGH ... WHY ME!!!  They are like pranksters!  I looked in their water tub ... it was empty.  I wonder if she was exaggerating "dying of thirst" .. perhaps, but a bit overdone, don't you think.  Look closely at the photograph, doesn't it LOOK like she's dead? 

Feline Friday: THEY STAY!!! MINE MINE MINE

It's OFFICIAL!!!  I get to keep ALL THREE Kittens!  I had to make sure it was a done deal, so I quickly searched for appropriate Hawaiian names for each.  I mean, you know, how can the Farmer make me give them up once I NAME  them!  The cats and girl yaks have Hawaiian names.  The yak bulls will have Japanese names, for which my mother will assign, and they will be presented when we bring the bulls home next month (that was free FYI)

May I present you ~  N O H E A  (Loveliness)

and presenting ~  H I W A   L A N I  ( Attractive one)

and presenting ~ I K A I K A L A N I ( similar to strength, of the heavens, though I worry about this one, he once was the biggest, but now is frail) 

Ikaikalani is blessed with my oldests' sons hawaiian name, we thought it only fitting since the mama cat came from this son's home!  BTW, this is Kauionalani babysitting: she was named after my daughter.
   That's this weeks entry for Feline Friday!  Now, cruise on along to Steven's (sometimes)photoblog for the lastest entries for this week!
ps ... Thanks Carly for hosting Feline Friday last week!

Feline Friday: Sweet Sleep, wakey wakey!

The babies are now running all  over the place.  This one remains at a distance most of the time, but that doesn't make me want to keep her any less!!!  I have to make a decision very soon on releasing them to new owners, or keeping them ALL FOR MYSELF!!!  Such decisions are so difficult when they look this sweet and innocent.  Steven of (sometimes)photoblog, who normally hosts our Feline Friday, has taken a little time off and Carly has graciously hosted our this weeks Feline Friday!!  YAY, thanks a million, Carly!  Please be sure to check out Carly's page for  other feline photos.
