Weekend Cat Blogging #164 – In Honor of Sher! *updated*

I am hosting Weekend Cat Blogging here at my FoodBlog this weekend and it is a very special edition to me as it is celebrated in honor of our fellow food- and catblogger Sher of What Did You Eat who left us sudden and unexpected Monday night.
She left us to be the Lords newest Angel and be united with her precious Upsie and Sundance.
I am sure she is sitting somewhere up there cuddling the kitties and looking over us – smiling. And if we close our eyes and think of her we can feel her smile.
We Cat Lovers are dedicating this weekend to her and invite everyone to join us throughout the weekend.
As always for joining WCB please leave your link in the comments below.
If your comment does not appear right away it may have gone to the moderation queue and will be approved as soon as possible. If you feel your comment didn’t make it or it didn’t work for you for any reason you can always send your entry via email to catboys AT paulchens.org. Thanks!
The Bread Baking Babes - a community Sher was a loved member of – are asking fellow foodbloggers to celebrate Sher with them:
Mary of The Sourdough says on her blog:
So, in celebration of Sher, we are asking her friends from the various online groups she actively participated in, Daring Bakers, Weekend Herb Blogging, Weekend Cat Blogging, Presto Pasta Nights, and any other of her online friends and family to become honorary Babes for the Day.
We would like you to go to her blog, “What Did You Eat“, and select a recipe that meets your fancy, make the dish, take a few pictures and blog about Sher’s wonderful food and share your memories of her with us.
Then send an email to Breadchick Mary or Sara of I Like To Cook with your name, your blog’s name, and a link to your “For Sher”? post.
We’ll get them to our fellow Babe, Glenna of A Fridge Full of Food, who wrote such a moving post about her best friend, and who will make sure that Sher’s family will get a chance to see the feast of Sher’s food all over the web.
I already found my recipe and will post it on Sunday. Sher, I miss you!
So let’s begin the round-up on early Saturday afternoon:

Babeth at the House of Chaos shares a wonderful story about the only lady cat in their house. It’s a battle of cuteness…
Our brofur Pepi ofur at HotMBC says Mom Robyn isn’t cooking and the cats cook neither but they share a Furriends Friday with us.- whaleshaman at Jellypizza, momma to sweet Taboo who left us on August, 16th 2007 joins us with a bittersweet memory of our friend Sher.
She even posted a “feel better soon” post not long ago with Sher’s favorite food: meatballs. 
Our dear lovely friend Kitikata-san is sharing memory of Sher too and even shares one of favorite food of Sher’s with us: Sardines.
Don’t they look soooo tempting?
Sophia, the Diva Kitty, is joining us too this weekend and has some issues with a birdie. Doesn’t she look so lovely?
We hope that DKM, her mom, will be able to post her pics and join us with a food related story to honor Sher too.
LB and her Momma Mary (the breadchick) are sharing memories too. LB says Sher always loved her posts and had fun with them. Her Momma Mary was a fellow Bread Baking Babe and dear freidn to Sher. They miss her both, so o we!One important side note:
LB and her Momma Mary stepped in and took over Sher’s scheduled weekends for WCB. They will be doing it in her honor. Thank you so much LB and Mary!!
Jennywenny and Tina also remember Sher. She was a fellow Daring baker to Tina’s mommy. Tina is a very helpful ladycat, she helps picking artificial grass… neato huh?
we are very glad that Kate and her two lovely boys Harmon and Bustopher (the one who loves pnutbutr) join us in honoring Sher.
Harmon (seen in the pic above) was ‘specially loved by Sher and she always sent loving thoughtful comments about him to his momma Kate.
Rosa and her kitties Fridolin and Maruschka are very sad about the loss of Sher too and joining us this weekend in remembering her.
Sooo that’s the roundup so far.
We’ll add any new submissions as soon as they come in and we read them.
Again: thank you all for joining us, especially those of you who shared precious memories with us!

Luna and her lovely daddy Amar are joining us this weekend too (in fact we can’t imagine a WCB without them both anymore) and they too are remembering Sher and even participated in the tribute to Sher organized by the Bread Baking Babes where all of us are asked to prepare one of Sher’s recipes.
Amar your Angel Hair Pasta looks very delicious. Any leftovers for us?
Good Morning, Othello here again!
Let’s continue with the Sunday morning part:

Miz Mog and Meowza join us and as you can see there is some serious snuggling going on on a pink snuggle… Lovely!

Our dear friend Mrs Q. and her kitties Spot and Cindy of course are tributing dear Sher and Upsie by answering the question “What did you eat?” – Awesome idea don’t you think?
Samawow and Willow are thinking of Sher too this weekend, saddened and shocked as we all are, but with the gorgeous help of Willow they made one of Sher’s pasta recipes and loved it. No surprise, huh? ;o)
boo_licious of masak-masak was a regular at WCB too and joined us again after a long break due to some not very nice news about her kitties… in honor of Sher. We are glad you came and joined us boo!
Some Sunday night joiners – it’s never to late to join WCB! *snickers*:


Samantha and Mr. Tigger our FL furriends are sharing a quite wordless post with us – but look at those eyes of Mr. Tigger: Isn’t he just kissable?
Oh and on a little cross festival posting: Miz Pet and the ever so helpful Bengal Brats (lovely boys!!) told us that they have the BKCFoC No.55 up and running on their site! Thanks for hosting guys you did an awesome job!
Zaz from zazamatz posted a sweet tribute to Sher too whom she met through WCB and always felt welcomed by her.
A little side note:Mom Robyn was looking for some volunteer to keep the schedule of WCB up and running and we volunteered to do so.
So if any of you wants to host a weekend, please contact us at wcbschedule @ gmail.com – Fanks so much to all volunteer hosts!!
URGENT:
We are in need of a new host for the next WCB as Megan and the BKC who were originally scheduled are not back to regular blogging again after some real life troubles and their site being down due to some stoopid hackers!
#165 Aug 2-3: Megan and the Bad Kitty Cats at Bad Kitty Cats
So if any of you wants to step in for them please let us know!The lovely Miz Pet and her handsum Begal Brats are stepping in for Megan!!
The next editions in August are hosted by:
#165 Aug 2-3: Miz Pet and the Bengal Brats at Pets Gardenblog (stepping in for Megan and the BKC)
#166 Aug 9-10: Special Food Edition by HotMBC in honor of Sher
#167 Aug 16-17: Amar and Luna at CatSynth
#168 Aug 23-24: Samantha, Mr. Tigger and Mom Chandra at The Squillion Worlds Spins
#169 Aug 30-31: Katie and Puddy at A Byootaful Life








[...] we are hosting WCB this weekend but we decided – after talking to momma – to do it mostly on her FoodBlog because it is a very special edition to us as it is celebrated in honor of our fellow blogger Sher [...]
We have not known that delightful lady but we feel your loss and grief. May many purrs guide her towards her Beloved Ones Who Went Before, and may many purrs console you and yours.
As for the Weekend Cat Blogging… here is our tail of the week… about the one and only she-kitty living with us, who bravely weathers (currently) 4 male companions every day. http://thehouseofchaos.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/sweet-temper/
We can’t cook and Mom doesn’t cook. But we’d like to leave an entry.
