Awww Mondays

Join us every Monday for Awww…Mondays.

Post a picture that makes you say Awww…and that’s it.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Awww…Mondays post.

What better way to start the week than with a smile.

This is our outdoor kitty, Lil’Bit. We bought some Temptation treats and hubby has been going to the patio each afternoon and giving Lil’ Bit a few. Then this happened. We are over the moon. This kitty loves anything seafood. It no longer looks wild or underweight. Lil’Bit is using the litter box outside and loves its new scratcher.

Last Sunday Lil’ Bit came inside to eat and groom. We can’t close the door or it panics and wants outside, but if we leave the door cracked it can leave when it wants. We are so happy! Progress.

      Lil’ Bit loves hubby very much. He’s the treat guy. We love this little one. 🙂

  1. Memories of Eric and Flynn – I started this blog to show my holiday photos but haven't added to it for so long, but you can see my other holiday photos at https://allatseawithme.blogspot.com My main blog is my cat blog at https://twodevoncats.blogspot.com
    Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    That is wonderful! You are gaining Lil Bit’s trust and I am sure some day not too distant that he/she will decide the comforts of indoor life are good.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I’m hoping that happens. We would love for Lil’ Bit to be an indoor kitty. Safer all the way around. 🙂

    How pawsome is that! Kitty is making its own choices and learning to trust you all. We think in no time Lil Bit will be inside with you all the time. Such a lucky kitty.

  3. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    How absolutely EPIC! Lil’Bit looks gorgeous, and we’re thrilled she’s found mew!

If something bugs you just say you need time out & excuse yourself. Things will be fine after that. I promise. Hugs!..... I promise things will be fine now! Let us pray..... LORD! CAN YOU HEAR ME LORD? I'm sending up a small request. In the name of JESUS..... GOD bless you all from the bottom of my heart!!!! Being disabled wasn't any fun in the beginning, but now that I'm getting all my friends back from all over the world too & new ones too, I wear a smile on my face & I am content & happy once again! God bless you all! Amen... Thanks for the smile! Thanks for hubby's smile too! Now that I have friends I tell him your names and then he looks at me funny & says, "Oh yeah, sure! Riiiiiiiiiight!!!! So what I'm happy with? All of you! I'm just trying to figure out my blog again and Wordpress hates me!

    I had a wonderful boy who looked so much like Lil Bit. He just showed up and made himself at home! Perhaps Lil Bit used to have a home…but in any case, we are thrilled this is starting to work out with your patience, love, and great treats!

      Sandee says:

      This little one was so sad when we noticed it in our back yard. We started feeding it and it came by more and more. Now it hangs around most of the time. So precious. 🙂

      She’s bringing us much joy now and when we get her inside we’ll be even more joyful. Happy Monday and week, my friend. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      She is adorable and such a sweet kitty. Not mean at all. She needed someone to care for her. 🙂

    Whisper into his/her ear welcome and yay for being such a brave little one

    So….you’ve taken in a new boarder and offering free rent, food and a bed. What a deal. I am sure the new Lil Bit will grow to love the new home and his/her rescue family. Have a blessed week.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We’ve done all that and will do more. We’re happy to have this little one in our lives. You have a blessed week too. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We’re sure she is a she and we think she’s pregnant. We’ll be the crazy cat people shortly. We’re good with that. 🙂

  10. MadSnapper says:

    this has a smile on my face so big it hurts. so very precious, in both videos. Makes me so happy for you and for Lil Bit… you have yourself a cat! congrats. she reminds me of our angel Brian and Angel Tigger and my sons’ angel Jesse James ad his now new lookalike from the ferals, Bandit. Bandit is now a feral turned house cat.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      This little one would run from us every time we went outside. Now it’s there meowing. Zane heard it purr the other day. So precious. 🙂

  11. Wendy & Dani says:

    I’m so happy to see that L’il Bit is getting a whole lot more love and affection than she did before. Trust comes little bit by little bit, so you’re doing a good of socializing her. She sure is a cutie!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      She was pretty sad when we first saw her. Sad and hungry. We finally got her through the food anxiety stage. Now she’s just ready for her food. We love her. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      She’s a blessing to us and we’re a blessing to her. Yes the trust is more each day.

      I love you my wonderful Husband. 🙂

My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!

    Gattina says:

    You will see in a few time she will go in and out and has really moved in ! Do you have a cat flap, that’s what we had put in the garage door so all of our 4 cats could go in and out ! Rosie I discovered now is rather an inside cat. She doesn’t even want to go on the terrace !While the 3 others who unfortunately died after 20 years were more outside than inside ! (Depending the weather) I will move into a retirement home next week. It all happened after the death of Rick, before I was never sick.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We don’t have a cat flap. We could do one though. We would love for this little one to be an indoor cat.

      I’m happy you’re moving into your new home next week. Hopefully things will be better for you. Healing hugs, Gattina. 🙂

    What exciting news! Lil Bit is one very gorgeous kitty. Congrats on the progress. Here’s to loads more fishy treats, scritches and purrs. Happy Mondy, dear Sandee. Bless you and Zane for befriending this furry friend.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We don’t over feed, but it was sure hungry when it first showed up. Had food anxiety very badly. That has finally passed and it knows there is food. Happy week. A hug to you and scritches to Elsa. 🙂

      We think it’s a girl and we think it’s pregnant. We’ll get her through all that and she can have her babies. We’ll get them taken care of at the vets office when they are ready and then adopt them out. We will take care of her babies. 🙂
