open dates left....
10/5/14 and 10/12/14
Elvira Mistress of Felinity here and I am placing a call for the Power of the Purr to work its magic as a dear friend of this blog, long time contributor to Carnival of the Cats, beloved by everyone who follows Life From a Cat's Perspective, went missing on the evening of April 24th and has not been seen or heard from since.
Clementine, sweet companion to Samantha and her human, Miss Chandra (who Daddy Kiril and us have had the pleasure of meeting), went on a solo walk-a-bout, the temptation of an open door proving just too much.
You can follow the search via these blog posts...
Please send lots of purrs and prayers for Clementine she is missing!
Almost Wordless Wednesday with Samantha & Clementine
Friday with Samantha
UpDate Monday with Samantha
And just posted as I was preparing to do this edition of the carnival by writing a poem to share...
Some Hope On Tuesday with Samantha
A Poem for Clementine by Elvira Mistress of Felinity
In a home, in a city,
Eating, playing and napping all the time,
Dwells a Texas feline, all nice and pretty
And her name is - Clementine
CHORUS:
Oh Darling, Oh Darling,
Oh Darling Clementine.
Thou art lost, we hope not forever,
Please come home, oh Clementine.
Orange she is and very hairy,
And her lives, they number nine
She loves boxes without topses
Toys and treats are for Clementine
With Samantha to their humans they weren't a bother
Every morning she ate and drank just fine,
With her paw placed dead center
She made clear which bowl was "mine!"
One day the door was a jar,
Exploring outdoors she thought was fine,
But alas, she went too far,
So we lost dear Clementine
How we miss her! How we miss her!
How we miss dear Clementine,
So great was her blogging we couldn't resist her,
and purray for the return of Clementine.
CHORUS:
Oh Darling, Oh Darling,
Oh Darling Clementine.
Thou art lost, we hope not forever,
Please come home, oh Clementine.
This edition was to be hosted, by Samantha & Clementine, over at the Tuxedo Gang Hideout but, under the circumstances, we are helping out so they can focus on the search for our friend.
1. Over at StrangeRanger...Get a look at beautiful Ivy, from 8 years ago.
2. Over at CatSynth...Lots of lovely Luna as she makes her human feel guilty for not being around as much of late.
3. Miss Mog has some health updates in the aftermath of her eye surgery, and her feline companion, Ritzi, lets the Granddaughter pet her!
4. Over at Brian's Home...Precious is surprised!
5. Sparkle the Designer Cat tell us about something that Nikita would have loved and that I know Sneakers and I will find very useful:
The Blog Topic Generator… for #Cats
For years Nikita, then I as well, relied on the results that putting a few select words in a Google Search would regularly turn up for stories to share. This sounds like a better idea.
6. Over at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life...Check out this cool looking Mercedes!
7 and 8. Over at Traveling Cats...Cats from Belgium and Taiwan.
9. Over at Rascal & Rocco...The guys get into some interesting mischief.
10. Over at Marian Allen's blog...Katya's human writes a story about a Truffle Cat.
11 and 12. As for us...
Thanks for doing the Carnival For Us and thank you for the Lovely Clementine Poem, too.
Hugs,
Samantha & Mom
