I love genealogy so thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your lineage Tuna of Moon

Kea said...

That's the most colourful genealogical line I've ever heard about, beats all the guests on "Finding Your Roots!" :-)

Me said...

Furry impressive and educational too!
xoxoxo, Bibi & Meep

Awww!

Charlee: "Mmmmmm, tuna ....."

Katie Isabella said...

Well now, that was furry inter-esting. I like family genealogy and I will make my mommy go through your lineage with a fine toothed trout spine (if Mr. Trout's finished using it that is)comb and see if there are any relatives from my familee in there.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

You have a very interesting family tree. It must be a huge family gathering when you all get together.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I especially like the "roe mantz." And then there were kittehz out the wazoo. That explains a lot about you and your family tree, Tuna.

Brian's Home Blog said...

That was very interesting gang! Our family tree is mostly filled with nuts.

messymimi said...

That's quite a history!

Ruby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3 said...

Such an interesting and well done tale. A little "roe mantz" helps.

The Island Cats said...

Is that family tree one you can climb? MOL!

meowmeowmans said...

Wow, that's a pretty unique family tree. That's like "23 bazillion & me." MOL

John Bellen said...

I laughed aloud at 'New Moon' being the first Moon. Of course! It makes sense, doesn't it? And Tunny's name may have referred to his weight, rather than any fish, eh?

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

OMC!! What a tuna'd history you have!!

Its fin-tastic that you got to tell us all, so we know all about the Moons, too!

Crafting Queen said...

Enjoyed hearing about your family Tuna. Hope all the kitties are safe and getting lots of treats. We are all back to good health. Poor Flower has a poorly leg but after treatment, all better. Sending purrs Patch, Flower and Archer. xxx

This is a most distinguished lineage, Oh, Tuna of Moon!

My Mind's Eye said...

OH MY CATS what a fun post. I am very obsessed with names and origins. I must say this caught my eye
"skipjack toona who meeted my mom
alba core toona" names we are given at birth are meaningful and special then as we grow and meet friends we get nicknames. In high school a friend called me Clyde and I worked with a man years ago who called me
Petunia?!? Both said those names were easier to say than Cecilia. My aunt started calling me Cil, then when I met Bryan he called Ceal. Daddy always said he didn't care what you called him as long as you called him to dinner
Hugs to you two, FS and her Mom

Three Chatty Cats said...

What a fun(ny) family history lesson. I'm glad that skipjack toona met your mom!

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

Oh my mouses, my pals. That is one really, really, REALLY INTERESTIN' family tree.

I don't know much 'bout my family tree, I'm afraid. Other than the big tree in the front yard Saffron likes to climb but you know... Not the same kinda tree. MOUSES!

Tommy and Teaghan said...

Bwhahaha! "Little tunny toona"! and "alba core toona at: buz bait N tackull". Oh mine goodness. Mom had to put down the tea (no wine today...) before she read this post cuz she knew she wuz gonna end up blowin some liquid out her nose in lafter. MOL! Thank you for this. We needed a good laff today.

Genealogy is interesting.

Loved learning about your family tree Tuna of Moon! Who knew a bait shop could be such a great place to meet someone special!

The J-Cats said...

Indeed, learning about one's heritage is furry, furry impawtant!

Peachy, Faye, Granny and Angels Binky and Stippie said...

That was very interesting, little Moonchild, and so full of fishies😸Double Pawkisses for all of you sweet Tabbies🐾😽💞

Sandra Cox said...

What a great lineage, Tuna. And so well told by the Food Service Gal.

Epically epic post dude, we loved reading all about your heritage!

This was so much better than a family tree a person draws!
