Wednesday Cat-O-Lympics - Competitive Napping

As you know, the Cat-O-Lympics are being held all over the Cat Blogosphere this week (established this year by the beautiful Fin with events being suggested and/or hosted by many other kitties).

Today, we're participating in an event that our friend Huffle Mawson is hosting - Competitive Napping. Now, this is different from the Synchronized Snoozing event we participated in yesterday. Synchronized Snoozing requires, well, snoozing with synchronicity. Competitive Napping just requires napping -- and boy oh boy, do we know napping!

We've got 3 entries for this event (hey, with 6 cats in the house, it's okay if we do multiple entries, isn't it? we know they won't all win!). We don't have any really cool spots to sleep like Huffle and her parsley pot, or the trees that Paddy and Dushi of Cats in Trees have (they're a lock for a medal, we think, after seeing their entry). So we're going for the "adorable" look with our entries.

Our first entry is Pixie - isn't he cuuuuute? How can you resist the upside down head with one arm curled up look?

Next is our personal favorite entry - everyone say 'awwwwwwwwwwww' for Ziggy! Isn't he just too adorable for words?

And finally, we have an entry with 3 kitties that are doing their own form of competitive napping. You'll notice that Ziggy in the middle cat bed is all curled up, Roxy on the upper microfiber blankie is stretched out on her side with the right paw extended, while Bugsy on the bottom in the bright pink poof bed is stretched out on his tummy with both paws extended. They each have their own preferred form and method in their competition.

Good luck to all the entries, we've seen some really great ones!!

Toesies and Tail Tuesday

Look at me! You can see my toesies and my tail, and even the tippy top of me.

I really love to sleep in this curved part of our new kitty condo that Santa Paws brought us.

I'm so cute, I just make The Mommy melt...

Ziggyfest

(I made this when I was first playing around with Picasa's collage feature in preparation for making the Holiday Card back in November. I just threw a few photos together of Ziggy from his first couple of days here, to see how it worked. I kinda liked the end result so kept it to eventually post...and here it is. Oh, and obviously, Ziggy was having a hard time adjusting in his first couple of days here... )

Easy Like Sunday

Pixie: Hey, Mommy?

The Mommy: Yes, Pixie darlin'?

Pixie: I haven't gotten to blog for awhile. Ziggy's been hoggin' it a lot lately.

The Mommy: Those are both true, I'm sorry, Pixie Doodle. It's hard to be fair sometimes with so many of you little cuties. But then again, you did have a lot of time in the past compared to some of your sisters, so it's not like you haven't had your say.

Pixie: Well, I s'pose that's right. But I wanna blog today!

The Mommy: Alright, Pixie Pest, what would you like to blog about?

Pixie: I wanna show an adorable close-up of me along with a bunch of adorable photos of me taking it easy in some of my favorite napping spots. 'Cause that's what we cats do on Sundays. We take it easy....Easy Like Sunday.

The Mommy: *poof* Your wish is my command, my beautiful boy.
