As most of you know, we are Florida cats, and that means we are impacted by Hurricane Irma. We are in the middle of the state, and we will be fine, but there has been a long period of preparing and waiting. We have enough food and water for both humans and cats for weeks.
Thank you for the emails and notes from some of our readers checking on us! At the time I’m writing this Sunday morning, the rain has started, but the wind hasn’t. Please don’t worry if I don’t have a post-hurricane update available immediately here on the blog, but know that we will all be fine. Meanwhile, we’re just waiting.
One of the features of waiting that the cats are really enjoying is finding the outdoor furniture in their sunroom.
Everyone except Ashton has taken a turn napping on this amazing, new object. Pierre was first.
Newton tried to take a nap on the glider, but he had an audience.
Cupcake found the combination of a new piece of furniture and Newton an irresistible combination. His nap there didn’t last long.
Cupcake took the night shift and seems to have slept there all night. She’ll be sad to see it go back outside after the storm passes.
In fact, by the time you read this, the storm will probably already be past. Good wishes to all of our other friends in the path of the storm. We hope it gave you fun furniture to play on, too.
Summer says
Paws crossed that Irma is not too bad for you!
Elise says
Hope that you and your kitties say safe, dry, and warm throughout all this. Food enough for kitties and humans for weeks is excellent, though I sure do hope you won’t even have to use it.
That’s some pretty nice furniture kitties – maybe if you say please, mamma will leave it there an extra week after the storm passes? ๐
Layla Morgan Wilde says
We’ve been purring and praying for all our Florida friends and so far so good. It could have been much worse but still sending blue skies wishes.
The Island Cats says
We’re glad Irma brought a little bit of fun in your life…having new furniture to explore. We purr that the effects of Irma aren’t that bad for you.
Random Felines says
at least they have something new to distract them ๐ purrs to you and everyone in Florida and Georgia
Kitties Blue says
Hope all is okay and that you didn’t lose your power or have a lot of clean-up to do. Love the photo of Cupcake standing on her hind legs. She has the cutest little legs. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy.
Laila and Minchie says
Enjoy that furniture while you can! Saw on Facebook you guys are okay! Great news!
Eastside Cats says
Hurricane Irma is not being very nice to Florida, or up in Georgia, etc. Glad you are okay; let’s hope you keep your electricity. Purring for everyone who is being impacted by this huge storm.
Sweet Purrfections says
Glad to hear the cats were happy with the new furniture. Looks like you will need some new furniture for them in the sun room. MOL!
We’re happy to see on FB that you are okay!
Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittens says
I say you leave the furniture right where it is! ๐ (not that I get a vote or anything)

Well, at least something fun came from all that! We’re purring that this is the only memory from Irma.
The Swiss Cats says
We cross our paws for you, stay safe ! Purrs
Lola The Rescued Cat says
Paws crossed everything in your area is OK, and so are you!
Raven says
The new furniture looks comfy. Too bad it will be unavailable after the hurricane. I hope you fared well through that monster storm.
Melissa & Mudpie says
I love how kitties manage to find the fun in everything ๐
Ellen Pilch says
I hope you are still OK. Glad the cats are having fun at least.
THE DASH KITTEN CREW says
Good to know you are safe. You update when you update. In the meantime, we hope you are all well.
Cathy Keisha says
So glad youโve all survived Irma. I love the romance between Newton and Cupcake.
mommakatandherbearcat says
Of course, Pierre was first. When he’s done … then the others are allowed to move in. I love that Cupcake has become Newton’s minion. Just when Pierre was resigned to the orange menace …
To be truthful though, we love all your kitties and love following their adventures … always a must read around here ๐
The Menagerie Mom says
It’s nice to know that Irma has a silver lining in the form of interior decoration. Purrs and prayers to you all!
Madi and Mom says
We are so glad Irma has passed and you are all safe and happy.
I think the 2 leggers should leave the new furniture where it is
hugs madi your bfff
mommakatandherbearcat says
We just wanted you to know we’re thinking of all of you ๐
