Triple Shot Thursday

Now that winter is firmly here (we had a warm fall well through November, but it was also very rainy most of that time), we needed to remind ourselves of warm sunny days. This was probably the last day we got to go outside, one weekend in late September when Bugsy was home from cancer vet jail, before it got too dark during the week and too rainy or cool on the weekends.

So here's a triple shot of kitties on a Triple Shot Thursday...

(This post was pre-written over the weekend; overnight last night, we had an arctic blast move through with a wee bit of rain/ice, and the temp is expected to stay below freezing for the next couple of days, not that usual for this part of Texas...so more than ever, we miss the warm!)

Wordless Wednesday

Pesky Brother

So Ziggy has decided that I'm his own personal toy to pick on. And he's like 3-1/2 years younger than me! What's up with that! I've been trying to be nice and not put a major bitey on him or whack him into next week, but now that Chrismouse is over....well, he may just find No More Miss Meek Roxy next time he chases me through the house!

Look at this, for instance -- I was taking a nice nap, and he gets up there on the mantel above me, trying to look all intimidating.

Then he starts with the paw thing, like he's gonna reach me from up there. Yeah, whatever, dood.

Oh, okay, if the right paw doesn't reach, maybe the left one will? Hahahahaha.

Y'know, Zig, you better watch out...or you may just cry. Hmph.

Mancat Monday

We mancats, Bugsy and Pixie, take our responsibilities for Mancat-in-Training Ziggy seriously. Here, we're teaching him the importance of Overseeing Our Domain from the top of the kitchen cabinets.

Notice how I (Pixie) switch it up with Ziggy in this next shot. It's good to get all viewpoints, as I might see something he missed, and vice versa.

We can be vigilant, yet relaxed at the same time. That's just common sense!

Easy Like Sunday

Yawns...we gots 'em...

Please Welcome our VSquillion!

We've joined the VSquillion adoption bandwagon! We've been approved for adopting a cute little black VSquillion, and we will hug him and pet him and squeeze him...but we won't name him George. [Bonus points if you get the reference. Yeah, we're weird. ]

Actually, his name is Caleb. And that stands for CAts who LEft Before. Caleb will serve in memory of all the kitties who have previously owned The Mommy that have already gone on to The Rainbow Bridge. Even though we started adoption proceedings in early December just after Callie got sick, we had no idea at the time that we'd have to be adding her to this list so soon, too.

• Callie ~ 2003-2009
• Tigger ~ 1994-2007
• Felix ~ 1994-2007
• Patches ~ 1989-2004 (owned The Mommy beginning in 1991)
• Kasha ~ 1989-2003 (owned The Mommy beginning in 1991)
• Rascal ~ 1987-2000 (owned The Mommy beginning in 1993)
• Tom ~ unknown-1994 (owned The Mommy beginning in 1993)

This list doesn't include several kitties from her childhood as sadly she doesn't remember all the names and details, but they are covered by the intent of Caleb. There was a break from when she was 18 until she was 26 when she wasn't owned by any kitties; oddly enough, when she moved out at age 18 after having had kitties growing up and wasn't able to have a kitty in her first apartment, she developed allergies within a few months and thus didn't have any kitties for several years. She still has the allergies, she just puts up with it as it's not that bad.

Please join us in welcoming Caleb to The Kitty Krew!

Happy New Year!!

Welcome to 2010!! (Sorry, should we whisper in case you have niptini hangovers? )

We hope your first day of the new year is a wonderful day. The Mommy is home with us today so we'll mostly be spending it napping and letting her wait on us paw and paw for our every whim. We're cats, we deserve it.



PS - A shout-out to our Auntie Tee, sisterbean to The Mommy, who has just started to read along on our bloggie! Everycat give her a welcome, wouldja? Maybe if our kitty cousins Orangello, Firecracker and Chaz catch her at it, they can talk her into getting their own bloggie...
