Hello everyone, it really is Mancat Monday and I am taking it easy, it was a pretty stressful few days around our neck of the woods. So, today I have three thankfuls. I know, normally I’d post them on our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, but one of my sisters asked to do Thankful Thursday this week so I said yes. Who is it and why the special Thursday? You’ll just have to stop by and see.
Anyways, about those thankful things, here’s the first one. For those of you who follow us on Facebook the Dad posted this: Unfortunately when our furnace service person was here the other day he did not completely latch the door to our crawl space. Friday morning early the heavy winds blew it open and one of our many ferals went in. He is still in there (there was a lot more detail that this though).
The Dad then posted this update:
Here is an update everyone. I believe the kitty got out. There wasn’t any activity on the camera for 36 hours and none of the food was touched from last night.
So this morning I spent 3 hours under the house. It wasn’t overly easy but I covered every possible inch. In one of the back sections of the crawl space one of the exterior vents was half knocked out and the half I found on the outside, not on the inside. It would have been a fairly easy jump for an escape route.
I did see some kitty tracks but no sign of any kitty pee or poop. I’m leaving the camera in place for several more days just to be on the safe side but I looked in every possible nook n’ cranny and couldn’t find the sweetie. Thanks to all for the suggestions and concern. I’m very thankful that the kitty was able to get out.
Then, for my second thankful, the bad news from last Thursday was the weather guessers were right. We had tons of rain, bad storms and even a tornado around. Our Mom had an appointment to get her hair done in Spartanburg, which is the city where she used to work. The Mom decided to cancel that appointment. A tornado hit Spartanburg right next to the hair salon where Mom gets her hair done and at the time our Mom would have been there sitting in the chair. We’re all so thankful that the Mom decided to cancel and stay home with us. Spartanburg got hit really bad with an F1 tornado.
Then, for my third and final thankful, we went from 77 degrees and storms and tornados to this…
Snow, yes, we had snow, about an inch. Goofy weather fur sure. I know lots of you won’t be impressed with an inch of snow but that much is really something for us. I’m thankful it’s gone now and some warmer weather is coming back.
Sorry to be long winded today, now you know why i’m resting so peacefully. Have a terrific Monday everyone! Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
WOW!!! You guys really had some stressful days!
Good to hear kitty seems to have gotten out.
We do have snow, but we have never had a tornado.
WE purr things settle down for a good while too.
Purrs,Georgia and Julie
Goofy weather indeed. Great she canceled and stayed away from the tornado. Hopefully the poor kitty is out indeed.
Thank you for visiting us X
.. cripes, that is some tale of concern with the search beneath your house, paws crossed that the escapee has indeed escaped. we have had a storm here but NOTHING compared to those you get in your neck of the world.
I can see why today was the day for gratefulness all round. Helen and boys xxxxxx
oooh snow? da nelly said he missed the snow here, but after the wild storm, I think we need more sun…
Brian,
The weather was crazy last week. Like y’all, we got a lot of rain and even snow on Friday. The roller coaster temperature ride is one I don’t like at all. We dropped 20+ from Thursday to Friday and the wind that we had on Friday made conditions even worse. Brrr! So, glad the mom cancelled her appointment and safe at home when that tornado hit. Have a pAWesome week!
That was a lot of stress, and I am glad the kitty got out!
Your mum must have had a 6th sense about cancelling her hair appointment, and I am very glad she stayed safe at home.
I hope this week is much calmer for all of you.
I am kind of glad the kitty got out from under the house. I bet it comes back again for food. So glad the Mom cancelled her hair appointment. That was such a scary day. The snow was kind of fun. You all have a great day today.
Wow, you all have had some serious stress! Hope this week is much quieter and glad everyone is alright.
Wow! You certainly have a lot of reasons to be thankful! You deserve a rest after so much excitement – and so do your Humans.
We are contending with high winds and heavy rains but no snow as yet – at least, there is, in the north, but not in Jerusalem (yet).
Pawpats and noserubs to you from Us.
Oh my gosh, that’s WAY too much adventure! We’re glad that you’re all safe and that the feral cat got out. Holy cats, what a time you’ve all had! Purrs for a quiet, happy week!
We are thankful you are all OK, very scary weather for sure. We are also thankful the feral kitty got out from under your house. We are lucky our house is on a slab so Mommy doesn’t have to worry about us getting under the house. Poor Eldest Boy has a crawl space under his house and Mister Who (we don’t know if you remember him) anyway he is forever managing to get under the house and escape from the backyard. PEES: We lost all our emails when the computer died, so if you could send us an email so… Read more »
Well for sure you are thankful for bunches of reasons! That trapped kitty obviously found his/her way out from under the house thankfully……and your Mom was NOT getting her hair done when the tornado hit…..and of course getting a little snow – just enough to be pretty – is another thankful thing. It will be gone in no time! Take it easy Brian – you deserve your rest that’s for sure!
Hugs, Teddy
And we thought our weather was crazy!! We are also so thankful your Mom stayed home and that it looks like the feral kitty got out on its own. ♥
you have so very much to be thankful for.. so happy your mom stayed home with you and that you are back to better weather… I would say you have one thankful thing you did not mention, that beautiful bed that is the perfect fit for a mancat…
Oh so glad the kitty got out of the basement and that Mom cancelled her appointment and was safe at home with you ~ rest and enjoy Xox
Happy Moments to You,

Wow, you sure do have a lot to be thankful for, I don’t blame you at all for not waiting. I’m so glad everything worked out well, especially the mom and tornado story.
Lots to be thankful for and I’m a hit and miss with Facebook. I hope the kitty is out and I’m sure it is. Thank the dad for being such a great dad. He rocks.
Yikes on that hair appointment. I’m glad the mom stayed home.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥
Oh my, those things are really special. I’m very thankful, too! Glad the kitty got out safely and the mom cancelled her appointment. We had snow this weekend as well after having temperature of over 70F. Stay warm and have a great new week 🙂
There is a crawl space under our old porch, and for awhile The Hubby and I considered creating a feral cat enclave there, until we realized that for me to clean things, etc…it would be too hard, plus it’s at the front of the house (the back is better for ferals so the neighbors are less inclined to notice). Glad the kitty got out again!
As for snow, well, yeah, we get an inch every other day around here, but can empathize with y’all, when it’s not the norm. A tornado in February though…that’s scary as heck!
That is a lot to be thankful for. I am glad your mom canceled the appointment. And I am glad the feral got back out.
77 degree I would be in a shorts.
Oh my word Dad is brave to crawl under the house where spiders and cobwebs live.
I sure am glad you mom listened to that little voice that told her to cancel her hair appointment
Hugs Cecilia
oh my!!! Praying that kitty is ok!!!! And…thank catness your Mama canceled her appt! (I don’t always see things on Facebook, it’s hard enough for me to keep up with the posts of our family!) Eeek! Glad you posted this so I knew!
Wow, you guys have had some crazy weather! I’m glad that kitty got out – or least it looks like he did!
OMC we’re glad the kitty got out, Brian and that your mom stayed in…a tornado…that sounds even more terrible than that Ciara storm here🙀Now take some rest, you deserve it!😸Pawkisses for a Happy Monday to all of you🐾😽💞
WOW, you guys sure had some crazy weather swings and scary experiences. Here’s to a more normal week.
It’s always good to reflect on the things we can be thankful for. I am very glad the feral and all of you are alright!
oh my goodness…..hope all goes better this week!

Glad your mom didn’t go. Scary. Hope you have a less stressful week.
I’m so glad that feral kitty got out – I was following on FB and was worried. Your Dad is a Superhero for crawling around under there! What strange weather you’ve had, I’m so glad your Mom cancelled her appointment, whew! The snow is very pretty, now it can melt and you can get on with your sunpuddling sweet Brian.
Wow, you had quite a weekend! Hope the kitty is safe, and so glad your mom is!
Brian, we’re glad the kitty got out of the crawl space. And OMG about your mom. Thank cod she canceled her appointment.
Glad to hear the good news about the kitty!! Sorry about the weather-we got hit with about 6 inches of snow last night and I am still shoveling!
Oh wow, it almost felt weird for us to get as much snow as we did because it’s been pretty sparse this winter and I’m all the way up here in WI. That’s downright nutty nut bar crazy. I’m glad that feral is out and you are such a good dad to make sure. I hope the snow doesn’t hurt any of the outdoor kitties. Is the hair salon still standing? That is freaky. Something like that happened to us once, we turned around and the street we just were was littered with trees and branches and debris. It must… Read more »
So glad the feral kitty got out and apparently it is a pretty smart one since he/she found its own way out!! I am so glad that dad went under to look just the same. Wow, and glad mom stayed home on that day. Its been a wild sort of winter. Lots of rain this winter, not really cold, like dad said, warm, then storms and snow. CRAZY…as for the comment on my blog about using Hartz, I do not. I have been really lucky with the barn cats since my daughter works for a vet, the rep sometimes gives… Read more »
Whoa! What an exciting report. I prefer quiet to exciting. Glad your mom cancelled her appointment. Also glad kitty got out and the ferals have heated housing.
You sure have had a lot going on. We love playing in the snow but you kitties probably wouldn’t like it.
Oh, Brian, we’re so glad everyone is safe! What a terrible few days you all have had.
Oh my gosh, what a weekend. We hope the kitty is okay. It is always the repairmen who do all the damage. We are sorry for the people affected by the tornado.
All’s well that ends well. Look at you doing the easy on a Monday.
Time to chill then!
OMD…what a weekend you had! Snow and tornados?? EEEK!
Thanks so much for your Dad and all the work he did to ensure the safety of the ferals!
xoxo,
Rosy, Jakey & Arty
Wow, that was close with the tornado. Your mom’s instinct to cancel was right.
Most of the time, kitties get themselves out of trouble if you give them enough time, i hope that is the case with your feral friend that got into a tight spot because of a door left open!
It sure has been busy at your place. Great news that your mom avoided the tornado. I see you have a brown cubby perch just like the one i have.
