Full Maple Sugaring Moon/ Full Worm Moon--Good Morning Kitties and Beans!

Preparations are in full swing for the big party this evening. It will begin with feasting in Rusty's barn, travel to Camp Stu for a special ceremony in memory of all our GAs, and return to the barn for dancing and singing and snow sports. Tonight the moon will be closer to the Earth than it has been for 18 years. It will be enormous. We are expecting clear skies (although it is snowing right now). All kitties welcome! Please come!

Rusty is starting off in GREEN today. He woke me very early with head butts and squirms, but finally settled down and went back to sleep. Then, right before the alarm went off, he was in his litterbox making a racket (we use a "Wonderbox" as a liner and it is very noisy because it has a great, rough texture that Rusty really likes to rake), after which he sprinted into the guest room, sprinted downstairs (rutching up the rug on the upstairs landing as he charged), and couldn't wait for his test to be over so that he could get his breakfast. I guess he was hungry! He'd eaten all of his nighttime food, as usual. Last night, before I put out his nighttime bowl, I put a small teaspoon of FF Turkey and Giblets in his dish and he gobbled that up. He didn't get FF this morning, but his incredible show of energy may have been in anticipation of some!! (If he goes back into the 40s today I'll give him a little FF.) At the moment he is "resting" on his cushion in front of the radiator.

A strange phenomenon here this morning: paw prints in the snow that are the size of cat prints lead from the side of the house (which is bare of snow) out to the catmint plant (which is buried in snow). There they stop. If it was a visitor cat, it does not look as if he/she turned around. The prints simply stop.

Everyone have a good day,

Ella & Rusty
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

Nice AMPS ofr Rusty this morning...
Ella...is it weird to think that it was Stu? First thing in my mind...

He needs that catnip for the fll_moon party that he is cooking for ...knew where he could find some...excellent quality....he left his paw prints to tell you that he loves you.... ((Ella)) I look at his picture on the March page each day...(an I miss him each day too...) :YMHUG:
This is a super full moon too....it is going to be huge....my two are on their way now to help with the preparations...hope it's not too early but I couldn't convince them to wait a few hours....
Ok, this did me in. done for awhile with condo visiting... :lol:
And you didn't even mention the weather there. THAT usually does me in when I hear your temperature! I guet so cold thinking of that freezing weather and you out skiing and whatever. Today, I am just a bit sad....
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

Good morning, Ella!

Wow... that is so strange, with the disappearing footprints. Maybe Pat's on to something.

What a morning for Rusty! Sounds like he woke up in a good mood. FF may have had something to do with it... :lol: Great AMPS, especially in light of the possible moon action tonight. It sounds like he is ready to party! party_cat I will send Chaos along later this afternoon to help cook. Like Rusty, he's resting up for all the dancing!

Have a great Caturday!
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

I thought of it too, but didn't want to verbalize it! We intend to bury Stu's ashes by the catmint this spring, after the ground thaws. It was his favorite place in the garden. I'll have to talk with Roni about it!
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

Morning guys!

no doubt - my first thought - it was Stu. :-D I think Pat is right - there is no doubt a huge party at the bridge too, he knew where to get the catnip. Well - how wonderful that he has paid you a visit.

We had a preliminary view of the moon this AM - almost full - very bright, huge - quite impressive! I hope our clear skies continue so that I can see it tonight too.

What a nice amps for Rusty - green! unlike another kitty I know who shall remain nameless. :roll: Too funny on Rusty being so anxious for his breffis - after those good FF fuds!

have a great day guys - enjoy the snowfall. It bet it is gorgeous.

Sous Chef Rusty! You are on tonight dude: sous cheffin'! You will be great, so great. I can hardly wait to get there, start cookin' - I think the menu is good, I hope everyone likes it - and I am sooooooo grateful for your input. Sous chef title is well deserved! Bus is all packed, so I am ready to go and get kitties. See you soon! oh! I got buckets of them wiggly things too so we can do some ice fishing... See you! ~~ Chef Mannie
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

Morning Ella & Rusty & Ed! Roni feels that was Stu coming to visit, but you know Stu is never far from you--
This Moon is doing strange, but possibly wonderful things for us--I have ashes of both my droolers near my bed & both cats( may they live 100 yrs) will all be buried with me as well, when the time comes--
If you feel that was the place where Stu loved the most, you should by all means lay him to rest there--He can visit, but after all he isnt there, he is part of the universe now, having shed the physical body..He will appreciate it!-So he will always be near you..
Moonie is tuning up, even Copper was singing last night(5:30am) to we dont know what?? confused_cat
Tonite should be a great evening for all-Big Hugs, Thanks for providing kitties with your place--They love it!
Have a great Caturday!

Rusty, Practicing (somewhere over the rainbow) and will be up to practice wif you later--Opened kitty choir to the newbies so all can sing to Tori & Boris tonite! at Camp Stu (Stu has made a visit there already!!)-Looking forward to seeing you--Miss you a lot--Big Hugs from us--Tonite's gonna be a good good night! Lubs ya, Moonie
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

Good morning, Ella & Rusty.. what a beautiful beginning for a Caturday.. green :mrgreen:
I hope you both have a wonderful weekend!
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95

Oh yes indeed, the Chef has got his flavoring for the stew at the Bridge tonight. :-D How lucky you are to have seen those footprints, Ella.

Rusty is going to show you another beautiful day today, I see. :smile:
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

Hi again, Everyone,

Rusty spent all of his energy this morning and now is chillaxin. His bg is a bit lower than usual, but he's happy napping in his cube at the moment. Of course, he did do some snow shoveling this morning. The door to the barn is clear of snow and ready for all the kitties.

More on the mystery prints: When we went out this morning we discovered quite a few cat-paw prints around the bird feeder and on the driveway. They came from the street. So they have to belong to a neighbor's cat. But the prints that led to the catmint and then stopped in the middle of the snow were isolated from all the others. And if another cat made them, the prints do not indicate that he turned around and retraced his steps. So I'd like to think that Stu left a calling card.

After the morning snow it has turned into a beautiful late-winter day. I think the full moon will be spectacular tonight.

Ella & Rusty
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

this may be the most heartwarming condo I've ever read...

absolutely beautiful, Ella.
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

It was Stu Ella . There is no doubt in my mind. I wonder what he's cooking up for the kitties at the Bridge tonight. I'm so glad he paid you a visit. Wow I can just imagine the partying that is going to go on tonight here in this world and at the Bridge. Luv ya.
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

Ella, I am sure that the prints are Stu's and that he is leading the parade of GA's to the party tonight to honor Tori and Boris.

ETA: Miss Emily says she is going to the party tonight with Teddy. She is 18 years old, and she wants to see the moon from her birth year. She was a feral kitty, so she probably saw that moon 18 years ago.
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

Hi Ella. Rusty is looking good! Look at them numbers today :mrgreen: I'll have to look up wonderboxes.

How do you guys keep track of the full moons? I have enough trouble figuring out what day it is when I'm tired.

Thanks for the advice on our condo today about my neck and the vet. It is much appreciated : )
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

What a beautiful condo today. Of course Stu was visiting his family, he just wanted you to know!
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64

What a heartwarming story today, Ella. There's a tear in my eye thinking that my Miss Jezebelle will be enjoying a bit of Stu's cooking tonight while Willie's off at the party tonight.

Gorgeous numbers for Rusty today... hope you're enjoying your Saturday!
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64, +9.5 61

Hi Linda,
So neat that Miss Emily will be with Teddy at the party tonight to see the moon as big as it was the year of her birth. Wow. Rusty will make sure she has a nice, comfortable seat at the table and a good view of the moon. They'll all go out in the snow for the full effect.

Hi Karrie, I look on a calendar, where the moon phases are always marked! Pat is the one who knows the names of the full moons. I think there is a website for this.

Hi Everyone, Kitties are starting to arrive and are busy decorating the barn.
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64, +9.5 61

Ella: what a lovely condo today and I hope it comforts you that Stu was checking out the catmint and will be at the party tonight.

Rusty is looking great...I didn't get to too many condos yesterday but it seems he had a similar day...WOW!!

Gracie and Tobey are looking forward to the party tonight. Please have extra rope in case one of the three musketeers decides to find an ice hole :lol: :lol:

Rusty....are you all ready to grill tonight? I can't wait to see your barn. I've never played in hay but I think it will be great fun and Tobey is a good hopper in and out of stuff. We're bringing some devilled quail eggs with chipotle dip!!!

Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64, +9.5 61

You condo made me smile today! It's been a hard week for LL and smiles are a good thing. Great cycle for Rusty.
 
Re: 3/19 Rusty AMPS 95, +4 63, +6 64, +9.5 61

Yes! This condo made my heart go ka-thumpa ♥ ♡♥ ♡♥ ♡ and made my eyes extra shiny. :-D
 
The Full Moon is enormous. It is totally still outside, quite cold, a cloudless sky. The brightness of the moon on the snow is fantastically beautiful. The party bus has left for Camp Stu, where the kitties will commune with their GA friends through the veil. There is poignancy and also much joy tonight for our kitties as they lovingly remember their friends and their brothers and sisters.
Party on!
 
Party on indeed - beautifully said Ella.

I am glad that you got to see the moon - it is out here too - cloudless sky. Big, gorgeous. no snow here to reflect the light, but wonderful nonetheless.

great numbers for Rusty today - the best! NI NI!
 
So nice all the kids are headed to Camp Stu. Hoping Willie gets a chance to see his Miss Belle tonight. I know he still misses her... I know I do too.

The LL boys apparently decided that the wardrobe color of the evening was GREEN!! Glad to see Rusty got the memo too! LOL
