Joys of Christmas Past β£οΈTamale's first Hot Cocoa Cafe videos. The cafe turned out to be a great investment, and the kittens have inherited the business. Tamale was such a smart CEO!

Baby Tamale! I donβt have many photos of her in 2001. She looks so healthy here - the dead skin on her bloody ear tips had been removed and the wounds on her body were healed - so first four shots are likely 3 weeks after we found her. Insanely cute! πππ She found a scrap of black fake fur and made it her favorite toy. Iβm thinking of her so much tonight β itβs been 20 years since we had a kitten. And in a few weeks, we are getting one little girl, *possibly with a sister* - so stay tuned! πππ Honestly: No kitty could ever compete with Tamale. She was and always will be my soulmate. Period. ππΌ Our hearts are simply making room for more joy. Catdad is as excited as I am. πΈ Grief never goes away. But to quote Dr. Seuss: βDonβt cry because itβs over. Smile because it happened.β Which is easier said than done. Except when I see photos like this πΈππΈ As soon as I know if weβre getting both sisters, Iβll post photos. So excited!!! Happy memories to all on this #throwbackthursday - peace and joy to hearts everywhere. πβ―οΈπ #tamaleangel #angeltamale #angeltamaleceo #tamalestrong πΈπΎππΊππ³ . #TamaleCEO and #StarkRavingCat: unique π toys and gifts π Handmade at #starkravingranchito #txhillcountry near #Austin #ATX πΈ StarkRavingCat webshop link in bio, also on #etsy #etsyshops π #catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram #cutekittens https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1U8ezp0Mo/?igshid=1ib9zw4gcihtd

Yum: rainwater! π¦Throwback to Tamale drinking from puddles. (The videos are out of sequence.)

Monday Motivation: In 2019, Tamale tried to avoid the steppingstone by going around it. (Her hips were failing.) But the next day, in this video, she decidedly used that stone to get up to the platform. She was such a determined cat. πͺπ½ Have a great week - and remember: itβs ok to sidestep obstacles when youβre not up to the challenge... Itβs also okay to conquer them when youβre ready. πΈππ . #tamalestrong . #AngelTamaleCEO and StarkRavingCat: hip toys, gifts and greeting cards for pets and pet lovers, at #starkravingcat online and on Etsy, from #Austin #ATX #txhillcountry #starkravingranchito #etsy #etsyshops #angeltamale #tamaleceo π See link in bioππ #mondaymotivation #seniorcatsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-Te9LJjur/?igshid=cwyzwwocmjiu

Bobcat in motion! Catdad gave me a wildlife cam and this was our first video, from 2:30AM last night. Our fence is off-camera, just to the left. The bobcat turns after seeing the cameraβs red dot, and heads to our neighborβs on the other side of this cedar patch. Out of range but way back in this area is a new depression-possibly the bobcatβs den? In the cycle of wildlife, they feed on small animals including bunnies. We are hoping T-Bunny is ok but havenβt seen her in a few days, though thatβs not unusual. (We have seen other bunnies daily.) Bobcats are like big wild pussycats, weighing on average 19 lbs. I used to walk with 3-4 of them on our property in CA. Notice the beautiful markings on this cat. π Weβll post more videos as we get them.

Boxes for Special Needs: Friday night box collection... Tamale couldnβt jump into boxes. So I found boxes she could walk into. Samβs Club used to have these in their freezers, and Iβd dump out the contents π - and bring them home to Tamale. She loved being out on the deck, in a box. And her choice of box flavor changed with her mood. Though the long Cage Free box was her ultimate favorite.

Highlights to watch for: Batting with one and both paws, taking a Scatterball inside the tent, ramming the tent, biting the tent, and more.
