Lazybones Sunday

Kitties!

DON'T PANIC!

None of us are going to saute our whiskers...we have A/C at home.
We might have been a little unclear about that yesterday, although KonaKitty LOVES the heat, and stays outside most of the summer.  It has to be REALLY hot before she comes indoors to sleep.  Like hot, boiling lava temperatures.
The rest of us hang out indoors during the day when the temps get above 105 F or so, and go outside to conduct important business play in the evening.
Do you see Salem's latest egg carton victim?  She's buttering it up before the inevitable butchery.

We have a few favorite spots: 
The Mondo scratchy post has a great view of the entire great room.

Three in the tree!
The Cat tree is almost continually occupied, day and night, unless Mommy shakes the treat jar.

Johnny is as big as a Cat bed.  
Mommy's bed is an ever-popular spot for a snooze.  Sometimes we even let her sleep in it!

Maui is the only Sink Cat in the house...he conks out for hours.

Where do you like to sleep?


Happy Sunday!

Comatose Caturday

Kitties!

Rupert here, sorta.  I'm alllllmost asleep.
It is ding-dang hot outside right now, and the humidity is up, too. Today it was 115 F.
It's pretty uncomfortable, even for Heat-Seeking Cats!
The only way to hang out on the Catio during the day is up against the house foundation, which is nice and chilly.

Do any of you remember the McDLT
We're just like 'em:
 Keeping the hot side hot and the cool side cool!

My sister Kona prefers the corner slot so she can prop up her little head. 
Look at her liquorice toes!

My toes are mauvey grey. 
I'm keeping one foot on Kona's tail, so she knows I'm here.

I've got your back, Kona... 
...now let's enjoy our nap!

Friday with Felix!

Kitties!

You may have heard that I'm a Curmudgeonly, Cantankerous Crankypants.
It's not true!
Actually, I'm quite a Good Sport.  See?

Daddy made up another batch of mailers for his business, and I was on the job toot sweet.
This is highly technical work requiring top notch Cat supervision.
Because Daddy cannot be trusted to do something so complicated alone.
So there I was, supervising my fur pants off, and look what happened!
Daddy made me a wax paper scarf.
I didn't mind, I'm a Good Sport about wearing stuff, even weird wax ascots.

But then the dangling started.

I tried to ignore it.

But I couldn't resist!

Mister Good Sport left the building...

...and was replaced by Mister Slavering Wax-Slaying Beast!

KILL, KILL, KILL!!!!

*gnaw, crunch, chompchompchomp*

Kitties, I couldn't help myself...


Happy Friday!

Crazypants, Under Shirt!

Kitties!

Maui here!

I was lazing around on the sofa, resting up from some miscellaneous random craziness, when all of a sudden Daddy tossed his shirt over me!
He was hot from working out in the yard.
My tail is poking out, and if this was a video you would see it swishing wildly!  I LOVE shirt caves.

It smells sooooo good under here.
Nothing is better for a cave than a delicious Daddy stinky shirt!

Although Mommy might would argue that. 
Anyway, I really enjoy a good shirt cave, clean or dirty.  

I get all cozy and warm, and whenever Mommy or Daddy walk by they gently poke and pester me, asking me what I'm doing under this shirt--and my tail waves wildly some more!
Good times.

Kitties, do YOU like to play "Cave"?
Tell me how!

Happy Thursday!

Toes-n-Tummy Tuesday

Kitties!

The Baby here.

It's very tiring, overseeing Daddy's business.


Working from home is over-rated!


Yes?  May I help you?


I know my ear is folded over.
What of it?


I like it that way.
Now, get back to work.


Happy Tuesday!

The Lazy Lump

Kitties!

Sylvester here.
What's that Johnny?
A booger?
Oh no!

Hang on a second, kitties...

*SLURP*

There, that's better.
C'mon over to the other side of the Catio, I have something fun to show you.

It's been really windy here lately, and the last big winds wreaked havoc outside.  Our things were all discombobulated every which way...sometimes in new fun designs!


Take this piece of carpet, for example.  It flapped around in the wind and made a hump.


It's just the right size and shape to recline on.
(Hi Kona!)

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh...
I'm a big, lazy, lump on the hump!
Life is Good.

Happy Monday!

Easy on Sunday

Kitties!

Here in the desert, it is HOT outside.
We spend the day indoors, doing chores napping.
Johnson likes the cubby in the head board.
Whose tail is that above him?

It's Maui!
Boneless as usual.

Felix prefers a nest in the quilt.

We'll sleep here all day, and mosey outside on to the Catio about Seven or Eight o'clock at night.
So if you want to come over and play, bring your night vision goggles and set your alarms accordingly!
We'll be waiting.

Happy Sunday!

Swaturday!

Kitties!

The living room is dangerous, sometimes.
For example...

Salem:  Oh look!  The ESS is upside down and the dangling feather-thingy is exposed!
This could be fun.

Rupert:  Ha ha ha!  She doesn't know I'm in here. 
*giggle*

::SWAT!:: 
Salem:  What the heck!?!

Hey!
Stop that! 
*giggle*

Salem:  I'm warning you, Rupert. 
*hisssssssssssssssssssssssss*

Rupert:  That was fun!
heh heh.

Salem:  Oh, for Cod's sake.

Happy Swaturday!

Up, Up and Away!

Kitties!

The Baby here...way up high!

I was out the other morning with Daddy for a little mosey around the yard, and I saw the ladder!  I love to climb ladders, I went up in a trice.

Naturally, Daddy didn't have his camera with him.  After he went inside and got it, I re-enacted my daredevil ascent:
Hop up to the second rung...examine wind chime.

Fourth rung, Strike a Pose!

Stop, take a look around...

...and consider the final leap.

Daddy, I'd really like to get up on the roof.
Somehow.
Remember the time I got onto the Catio roof?  That was loads of fun!
I don't know why I only got to do that just one time.

My perilous descent!

Why is Down always harder than Up?

Ahhhh, terra firma.


Happy Friday!
