Kitties!

Rupert here.

This box is pretty great.

And it fits me purrfectly, with no spillover at all!

(unlike some kittehs I know, hee hee)

Happy Thursday!

Thrilled Thursday

Kitties!  

Tiny Johnson here.

Could you tell it was me?

I'm having the time of my life, hanging out with Daddy in the garage--and look, he fixed up this great box just for me.  It has two towels inside, for extra cosiness.  And get this: he put a litter box out here, too!  I've said it before and I'll say it again, Daddy Rocks.

Happy Thursday!

XX  TJ  XX

The Mommy here:  Poor TJ has had the squirts for a few days--we're keeping him sequestered to control his input and monitor the output (currently catpats).  He's taking medicine and absolutely adores being an "only cat" and exploring the garage.  It's heated, and Scott spends a large part of the day in there, doing Retired Guy stuff, so he has plenty of company.  Johnny comes in the house every so often to see if he's missing anything--and requests to go back out.  Hopefully his GI system will be back to normal in a day or two, however I thing the garage thing may be the new norm!

We're gonna have So. Much. Fun.

Happy Caturday!

Investimigations!

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

Oh my Cod, you will not belive what happened this week...Daddy let me help direct him, rearranging stuff in the garage!

I was out there forever, organizing and making suggestions.  Of course nobody is better than a Feline at packing things in tight spaces so my help was invaluble.

Now I see why Felix has been so excited to visit: 

This place is awesome.

Happy Caturday!

Friday Feline Frolicking

Kitties!

Salem here.

Mommy put out this piece of butcher paper on the carpet for our my amusement.

So I prepared myself to be amused: 

First I checked left for distractions...

...and then right--for potential paper interlopers.

The coast is clear so it's time to rock and roll!

1...2...3...

**wheeeee**

Hoo boy, that was great, I am all tuckered out.

How do you like to frolic?

Happy Friday!

Meezer Melee

Kitties!

May Ling here.

Daddy put some primo nip in our giant sperm polliwog toy!  He pressed it down into itself to make a hollow for the nip.

  He calls this packing a bowl.

Whatever.

*I* call it delightful!

Really REALLY delightful.

Say, does anybody have any tuna-flavored Doritos?

Or Mountain Mew?

Happy Monday!

A Purrfect Day

Kitties!

Rupert and CC here.

It's sunny and warm on the Catio, Mommy brought home a fun box from the grocery store, and we have each other.

Life is Good.

Happy Thursday!

In The Jungle

Kitties!

Shadow here, hunting.

There's a lizard underneath this bush, I just know it.

He will never escape my sharp claws and Fangs o'Doom!

Well, OK, maybe THIS time he got away.

But only because I let him.

Happy Monday!

Gamete Giddiness

Kitties!

Maui here.

Mommy got us some radically dank catnip, and packed a generous bowl inside this great toy that King Punapippuri's Äiti (Mum) crocheted for us.

Supposedly it's shaped like a polliwog...but Mommy calls it The Giant Sperm! What a pervert.

I called first dibs.

**inhales**

And second dibs!

Oh wow, man...things are getting weird...

OK, I admit it, I totally bogarted the polliwog--and the nip--can you blame me?

HAPPY Monday!

Felix, or, The Intrepid Explorer

Kitties!

It's Felix.

You kitties are all just so smart--of course--you guessed immediately where I was in yesterday's post.

I am in the garage, hanging out with Daddy.  It's our Special Thing we've started doing together--with the weather so hot the garage door stays shut and Daddy runs the portable air conditioner in there to keep it cool.  Naturally he requires snoopervision, and I'm just the Cat for that!  I keep him on the straight and narrow by purrforming a vigorous inspection...

Daddy uses the garage as his Man Cave so there's lots of stuff to examine.  He's not the tidiest human but he does have a place for dirty socks, et cetera...it was pleasantly stinky.  Just like him.   mmmmmmmmmmm....

There's a cot out here too.  Both the peeps like to stretch out on it occasionally for a break from the Horde nice nap.  Daddy showed it to me but I was more interested in the garbage can (the one he used to spray--ed.) which had another alluring--and most familiar--odor.  Strange...

Out of duty I inspect Daddy's tie dye in progress but it freaks me out a little.  I'm not saying why.  You know how stuff gets weird sometimes, right? 

Before I go back into the house I give the Supply Shelf a once-over.  

Litter?--check!

Stinky Goodness?--check!

Chikkun Jerky (in the big container)?--check!

OK, we're good to go here.  

I have a lot of fun visiting with Daddy in the garage, I chirp and chatter the entire time while I'm out there and I make a huge tail flare--which I only do when I'm really really happy.  I hope it stays hot and the door stays closed for a looooong time!

Happy Friday!

Sunday Selfie Duo!

Kitties!

Sheebie here.

OK, so technically this isn't a selfie, but dammit, this is me and my pal Carolyn on top of Koko Head Crater and we were so happy to have made it to the top!

This is the trail head, there are about 1050 "steps" to the top.  In reality, it's wayWayWAY more steps than that...

...because each "step" is a railroad tie from the old military train tracks up to the summit and requires two or more actual strides to traverse.  Some sadistic bastard helpful person marked them out in sets of hundreds.  

It's amazing how high up you are at the finish,  You're so busy climbing over the ties, scaling the bridge (with nothing underneath it!), and clambering up the 50-degree incline at the end that you lose track of how far up you've gone.

It was a phenomenal hike, and I'd do it again in a minute.  Well, honestly, make that two hours...that's how long it took us to get up and down again.  There was one quite elderly gentleman who did two round trips in the time it took us to go once...he was a monster!  Evidently I have some endurance work to do...

Happy Sunday!

I'm the kitty hiding from Felix under the crinkly packing paper--I think he might be on to me, though--I hope he doesn't find my stash of Nippy Easter Eggs!

Paper Extravaganza

Kitties!

We had four boxes delivered today (cat litter!) which had lots and lots (and LOTS) of packing paper in them.  Daddy spread them out in the living room, over the coffee table and our ESSes and tunnel and toys--a cornucopia of entertainment--just for us.

We were on the scene immediately to investigate.

Um.  

Daddy made some minor adjustments to his creation for an enhanced fun experience.

Sorry you had to see that...

After he cleared the area we dove in!

And there was much rejoicing and rustling of paper throughout the Lounge.

to be continued...

Happy Friday!

Squattin' Sheebie

Friends and Kitties!

Sheebie here.

Seeing how today (January 31) is my birthday--how the hell did I get to be 53?--I thought it was only appropriate to express my feelings on ageing in a Squatting Selfie:

The Rebel

Scott and I were out for a walk this past week and you all know how I am about signs and disobedience, I couldn't pass this one up.  Also, I was all ready to climb the fence but there were too many cars going by.  Next time...

Happy Birthday to Me Sunday!

Tuesday Tussle

Kitties!  

Sweet Pea here.

Me-n-Rupert have epic, spectacular battles daily.

It keeps us trim and in shape for most anything.

We usually start with a grooming-bitey.  We take turns at this; I bite Rupert just as much as he bites me.  However, *I* usually do wash his ears pretty thoroughly, first.  

(He's a grimy boycat, after all!)

The Bitey leads to the classic Stare Down...

...and then the WHAPPING begins!

*bif*

!THWOK!

*KA-pow*

And then, just like that, we're done!

All our Catly skillz honed and ready to go.

No hard feelings--later on we'll have Round 2, and 3, and 4...

Happy Tuesday!
