Selfies from the Past and Remembering Flash at Hanukkah

Hiya Furry Friends, Chiquita here having a nice Easy Sunnyday selfie and the last night of Hannukah be tonight. Katie Mom am doing much better from last Sunnyday - turns out may have been an allergy to seasoning or sumpin in the food her ate.

We are doing flashback selfies as this selfie of me was taken on 2017 8th of April. Hanukkah today we remembers Flash who went over the Rainbow Bridge May 2017. Hanukkah 2016 was Flash's furst time to celebrate Hanukkah and him asked lots of questions...

So without purr-thur adieu stuffs, Here am our Flashback from Hanukkah 2016, furst posted here on 2016 31 of December:


>^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^<

... At the Secret Ninja Hideout where all the Mewzers meet from different family locations...
Katie Kitty Too
Katie Kitty Too Finished helping Mama blog and jumped down from the computer chair. Her went to join the singing practice fur the last night of Hanukkah.

Flash the Hero Cat
Today, Flash the Hero Cat was joining the Mewzers and him didn't know much abouts Hanukkah so him kept interrupting with questions....

 Katie Too Started the Mew Song...

On the First Day of Hanukkah my True Love gave to me...

Others joined in... A Picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: Wait... Who is Judah Maccabee?


Angel
Angel the Fetch Kitty: Is he the guy who Whacked Bees with Hammers?

Katie Too: No! Judah Maccabee saved the Jewish People from the mean King Antiochus Eppiphaneez...who wanted to sacrifice a pig at the temple.  Judah Maccabee and hims brothers fought the Greeks and made them go home. Then they rededicated the temple and found oil for one day to light the menorah, but it lasted 8 days!Judah was called The Hammer, that's what Maccabee means.

Angel: but Joey said he whacked bees.
Lulu and Joey

Lulu: Yep that's what Joey said.
Joey the Nike Cat Hero, Flash's half brother: Oh, I thought his name was Judah Whackabee.
(Joey snuggled with Lulu, waiting to sing again)


Angel: Can we whack mousies when we done singing?
Katie Mom: sure... lets start again.

On the Second Day of Hanukkah, my True Love gave to me, Two Matzah Balls and a Picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: What are Matzah Balls?
Katie Too: That's like a dumpling made of flour and cooked in chickens. Bear likes chickens.

Lil Bear: but Joey said they were bouncy balls that didn't bounce.
Katie Mom: Depends on how hard the dumplings are... On to the third verse. 


 On the Third Day of Hanukkah my True Love gave to me, Three Sufganyot, Two Matzah balls and a picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: What am Sufganyot?
Bootsie Woo


Sufganyot
Bootsie rolled around on the floor and lost her kippah again: Dats yummies fur humans with jam and stuffs.  Dey eats dats in Israel at Hanukkah.


Lil Bear
 Lil Bear: But Joey said sufganyot was soup to go with chickens in it for the bouncy balls that don't bounce.
Katie Too: Joey!!
Joey: Sounded better than jelly. Unless am catnip jam...

Katie Mom: Sufganyot and matzah balls are not in the same dish, Joey. Okay, on with the fourth verse.

On the fourth day of Hanukkah, My True Love gave to me... four potato latkes, three sufganyot, two matzah balls and A Picture of Judah Maccabee!!

Flash: Okay, what are potato latkes?
Maxwell Tigger
Maxwell Tigger: That's potato pancakes and they taste goods with tuna.
Lulu:  Joey said they were potato latch keys made to open the door to the cat food closet.
Joey: or to the tzedakah box - the giving box fur donations and stuffs.

Katie Mom: Joey, you can't make keys out of potatoes... Fifth Verse!!

On the Fifth Day of Hanukkah, my True Love sent to me...
FIVE GOLDEN GELT!!!  Four potato latkes, three sufganyot, two matzah balls... and a Picture of Judah Maccabee!

Flash: ummm... what are gelt? (wondering what Joey has to say this time)
Joey: oh that's just money made of chocolate... we can't eat those.  Now if someone would make them out of cheese...

On the Sixth Day of Hanukkah my True Love Sent to me... Six dreidels spinning, FIVE GOLDEN GELT, four potato latkes, three sufganyot, two matzah balls... and a Picture of Judah Maccabee! 

Read from Left to Right
Flash: What are dreidels and they spin? Sounds like fun
(Now Flash had Joey's attention. He sat up excitedly)

Joey: Yes they are lots of funs... They are spinning tops and when humans spin them, you can chase them til they fall over. Dreidels in America have the Hebrew letters Nun
Gimmel Hay and Shin which stands for Nes Gadol Haya Sham. (typo fixed), that means A Miracle Happened There. In Israel the Dreidels have a Pay letter instead of Shin for  Nes Gadol Haya Po, A Miracle Happened Here.


Flash: Where did Dreidels come from?

Joey: Well tradition says the game started as a way of memorizing Torah when reading Torah was outlawed by the Greeks, yet the game really didn't start then. There am a good site to reads about that.
http://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-origin-of-the-dreidel/
 
Katie Mom: Let's finish this song and then we can look at the website.

On the Eighth Day of Hanukkah my True Love Sent to me
8 candles glowing, 7 Golden Menorahs, 6 Dreidels spinning, FIVE GOLDEN GELT, 4 potato latkes, 3 sufganyot, 2 Matzah Balls... AND A PICTURE OF JUDAH MACCABEE!


Oreo and the Hanukkiah
Flash: Okay, I really like this song... one more question. The menorah is a candelabra and has 9 candles for lighting. There are eight candles for the eight days of Hanukkah. What is the ninth candle for?
Kitty Menorah


Oreo: That candle is called the Shamash or servant candle and lights all the other candles in the Menorah.


Flash: Thank you everfurry one fur letting me sing with you!
Now Joey and I must be off to save the worlds before the Mew Year!
   (Flash and Joey run off at the speed of Light to finds hero things to do to saves the worlds, one kitty at a time.)

>^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^<


Thanks so much fur joining us on Flashback to Hanukkah 2016... We still miss our Dear Flash the Super Cat who was killt by evil minions wanting to take over the world...  





 






Purrz from Chiquita who wish she could have met him.

Tomorrow Am Giselle's and Kittens' Big Day

Hiya furry friends and humans, Katie the Mom here
Tomorrow I will be transporting Giselle and her kids to Manhattan, Kansas - two and half hour drive to the KU mobile vet unit to have their operations and shots. Please keep us all in your purrz for the drive there and successful surgeries.

Cheddar, Colby, Pepper Jack (PJ) and Heather will stay in Manhattan with Cat Tails Manhattan to find their furever homes... 

Giselle (Gigi) will be coming back to my mom aka Nana - Mom is still missing Bibi - yet her house is just too empty with out a fur companion.

My camera phone is still acting oddly - hopefully soon will be able to afford a new phone.  Today will work on getting some new photos of the kittens - they have really grown. The kittens will be 11 weeks old this Sunday. Will share those photos this weekend.

We are so thankful that the motel owner gave us Gigi and her babies day after Labor Day - miserable rainy September 4th to save their lives. Looking forward to seeing how they do at Cattails Rescue Manhattan where another foster will look after them until they find their furever homes....

How sum ever to get the car ready for the trip two tires had to be taken care of. One bald and going flat every 8 hours - had to be replaced. The other was not holding air - slow leak. Went to U-Save Tires yesterday morning - very honest business that shares everything they do before they work.  Come to find out that the tire not holding air had a nail and rim was too dirty to make a seal. 

So far the cost to get car ready for trip tomorrow was 93.53 - money was borrowed from a donator and has to be repaid back. And the right rear keeps making a squeaky noise that needs checked tonight - been making that noise since the brakes on that wheel were replaced a few weeks ago.  Please purr we find out the source of that noise! If it is the shock - will have to wait to change out until back from the trip and when funds are available.  Well we will talk to you later - hopefully from Giselle's purrspective on the whole ordeal. 



Colby
We sure need your purrz for this life-saving trip - and if you can help with repaying our gracious friend who let us borrow emergency funds, you would be a part of something wonderful - saving five precious lives abandoned and homeless on a rainy day Labor Day Weekend.


Purrz from Katie and the Katz
Giselle, Cheddar, Colby, P.J. and Heather
