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.

Squeaker is such an amazing kitty. Cat Dad Zane has taught her to play fetch. Of all the kitties I’ve had in my lifetime I’ve never had one that plays fetch, until now. Amazing.

Today is hubby and my 24th wedding anniversary. We’ve been together 28 years, married for 24 and have known each other for 55 years. Happy Anniversary, my precious husband. ♥

    How fun to play fetch with the kitty. None of us hounds have any interest in fetch but Mom doesn’t want a fetch crazy dog. Happy, happy anniversary to you two love birds! Hope your day is wonderful and spent together.

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

      You have other things for your babies to do and playing fetch isn’t in the mix. I get that. Thank you for the Happy Anniversary. 🙂

    OMG, my daughters cat Milo does the same thing. I never knew a cat to do something like that. I’ll have to tell my daughter about this.

    OMG! How much our dear Squeaker has grown and what a smart, adorable kitty.

    Happiest of all anniversaries my darling Sandee. Hope you are bringing it in with loads of laughter and celebrations galore – even though they may be quiet.

    Sending you two big love and all my good vibes.

    Can’t wait to see more of squeaker.
    Could not loop into #WW last week. Got caught up with a few things. Please feel free to add my link if I ever miss sweetheart. Thanks so much for hosting diligently year after year,

    Kisses to you and paw kisses to the kitties too.

      It will be a quiet anniversary here. Hubby has medical issues right now and they won’t be fixed until next Monday. We’re waiting for that.

      I love your love and good vibes. Always.

      I will link you from now on. I linked today’s post to Awww Monday. You are one with nature. Love you. 🙂

    That is just too cute! I have never had a cat that plays fetch. The cat we have now gives us high fives and flops in front of us so we will pet her. Happy Monday! Hugs.

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

      Not done the high fives. I’ll see if hubby and get Squeaker to do that. Both kitties will flop down waiting for belly rubs. They love their belly rubs. 🙂

        We call Callie the flop cat. It’s so cute when she flops and looks at us with those big gold eyes.

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

      I thought so too. Hubby told me he taught her this, or perhaps Squeaker taught Zane. Thank you for the happy anniversary. You have a great week, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. 🙂

    Sweet video! Those kitties are too cute and I love their sleek look. Exercise is so good for them. I love that Squeaker can fetch, a very unusual trait for felines. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you! Hope you have a wonderful day with lots of fun and many more years of marriage to your BFF. Love and Hugs to both of you today and always.

  14. The OP Pack says:

    Mom says she has never seen a cat do that either. We are not fetchers at all. We don’t get why you want to throw the ball away over and over and think we are going to keep retrieving it for you:)

    Happy anniversary to your and Zane.

    Squeaker is smart and so is daddy. Chase it/catch it/kill it is fun for cats, it’s fun to do over and over again.

    onespoiledcat says:

    Hope your anniversary was fab! Squeaker loves to fetch and I have had one (only one of so many through the years) who loved fetch too. Started with wads of paper and graduated to full fledged BIG stuffed animals that I could toss and he’d drag back to me. Didn’t matter what I tossed, Sammy would return it. Hope to see you at our blog and I will be visiting yours again for sure!

    Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
