photo hunt - jiggly

The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is jiggly, an adjective to describe something that moves or rocks lightly up and down or to and fro in an unsteady, jerky manner.

Determined to keep the subject matter decent, the only choice for this theme is our dear, departed and disabled cat Mimi. She suffered from cerebelar hypoplasia which meant that she moved in an uncoordinated and jerky manner and had a strange head wobble. For all that she was an utterly loveable cat.

Well you are lucky to be able to post Mimi once again. She probably thought all the other cats were strange in their smooth movement!

Happy weekend Jams

julie said...

Mimi is a darling and I agree with JMB :)

Happy weekend!

CherryPie said...

Aww! Mimi is such a lovely choice for the theme :-)

Carver said...

She looks like a cat with a lot of character.

I laughed at your determination to keep it decent. I wondered when I saw the theme if anyone would venture down that road.

Happy weekend.

Thanks everyone. SMimi was a little sweetie. We still miiss her

Carver If I suggested to teh not wife that I photographed her jiggly bits she would have cut off my own jiggly bits!

Susan English Mason said...

A little bit of jiggly fluff heaven I'd say.

Traveling Bells said...

Whew...I was relieved there was no photo of my jiggly bits! Mimi was a much nicer choice. She was a doll. I can see why you miss her still.

"Determined to keep the subject matter decent..."

I get the feeling we had the same thought when we first saw the theme, jams... ;b

And no, I didn't opt to photo that either. Instead, like you, I focused on that which I adore. (Re Mimi: disabled she may have been but she appears to really have been loved too.)

The ever confused Mimi was fun.

EG CameraGirl said...

So, jiggle brought back memories of a lovable cat!

ZOOLATRY said...

Lovely little girl kitty, and no doubt her jiggly-nish made her all that more special!

jams o donnell said...

THanks everyone. Mimi was our little delight. It didn't matter if she crapped everywhere and was smelly. We loved her with all our hearts

Kim, USA said...

Even if Mimi is gone but at least she is remembered dearly and I got to see her. Happy weekend and thanks for the visit!

Hootin Anni said...

bing said...

felt sad about mimi. must have been a struggle to see her jerk because of the illness.

thank you for sharing, jams!

gengen said...

Oh this is cute entry. Thanks for sharing,. Happy hunting...

RJ Flamingo said...

LOL! I think most of us went down that road when we first saw the theme! :-D The photo of your jiggly Mimi is a good compromise. :-)

Rebecca Mecomber said...

What a beautiful cat. She must have been such a good friend!

Have a great weekend.

Alice Audrey said...

Whoah. You don't see too many jiggly cats, though I've seen plenty that weren't entirely steady.

Daisy said...

I have seen a few kitties with cerebellar hypoplasia, and I think they are extra sweet.

Eden said...

Aww, sorry to hear about your Jiggly subject... much loved though.

Unknown said...

How adorable... But at least the memories are there forever!

Sparkle said...

I've heard about the jiggly cats with cerebellar hypoplasia - every human that has ever lived with one or cared for one always says they are very, very special kitties.

jams o donnell said...

Like other CH kitties she was a sweeite. She was in no pain though

Kay Dennison said...

I'm delighted with this photo of the irrepressible Mimi!

Unknown said...

Certain to be a truly unique choice for the theme. She looks as though she had quite a bit of personality.

Sean Jeating said...

Ah, Mimi!

girasoli said...

Mimi looks like she was such a sweetie.

Scott Law said...

Isn't it wonderful how we love our pets no matter what. Maybe that's because they do the same for us. Great take on the theme! This was a tough one but yours was just right.
