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!

The Forbidden Drawer

Kitties!

The Baby here.

Look!  

Mommy left this drawer open; the one she's always shooshing me out of...will I fit?

hmmmmmm.

I really, really, want to fit...

*rustle rustle rustle*

Rats.

Foiled by too many plastic bags!

Happy Caturday!

Comfy Countertop

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here, helping.

Mommy is making a baby blanket for a friend and she wanted to measure it, so she laid it out on the counter.

BIG mistake...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thursday!

Chores

Kitties!

Mommy had help with her tasks today.

She did some baking, and I, Maui, supervised in the pantry. 

And I, The Baby, purrformed dryer inspection.  I have never checked out the inside of the dryer before.  Luckily Mommy had her phone handy!

Mommy shooed complimented us many many many times for all our assistance...it's nice to be appreciated, don't you think?

Happy Thursday!

O Wonderful Day!

Kitties!

Tiny J here.

Do you see this sheet I'm sat upon?  They're flannel, covered in kitties, and they're NEW!

Mommy got them from her folks as a fun Birthday present (not yet, January 31st--ed.) and she immediately laundered and put 'em into service.

The flannel fabric is verreh comfy on my sensitive hairy behind, and I told Mommy just how happy I was about that.  You won't have to turn up the sound very much to hear me purring like a locomotive:

Of course the top sheet went on next so I tested out that configuration, too. 

Trust me, I'm in there!

See?

I can't wait for bedtime tonight!

I apologize for the quality, Mommy had to grab her old tablet to get these...and the lighting wasn't the best...I hope my purr and chitchat makes up for it a little.

Happy Monday!

Foreign Food

Kitties!

The Baby here.

Mommy baked pulla, a popular Finnish sweet roll.

I helped.

This variety is called korvapuusti ("slapped ears") and has brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon rolled up inside.  Whatever.  I was far more interested in the butter/cream/egg mixture that went into the dough.  It was, I'm happy to report, delicious!

And so was the pulla...Daddy ate SIX.

Happy Caturday!

Daddy Does a Good Deed

Kitties!

Monday it poured down rain in the morning.

We had a third of an inch in less than a half hour!

There was thunder, 

and lightening, 

and...

and...

a lost doggie! 

Apparently it DOES rain cats and dogs...

He was pretty frightened, but friendly.  Daddy coaxed him into the garage and shut the door to check him out.  Thankfully he had a collar with ID!  His name was Loki.  Daddy was able to contact Loki's Person (who was at work) and they came to get him immediately.  Loki has a fenced yard, but he was covered in dirt so Daddy thinks he must have dug his way out of the yard. and started wandering the neighborhood.

He was a wiggly guy--this is the best pic we have.

We could hear Loki barking when he was in the garage, and there were many many many puffed tails and Suspicious Looks aimed towards the door.

We have our paws crossed that the next time it rains we get water only!

Happy Wednesday!

Sylvester Saves the Day

Kitties!

Sylvester here.

Mommy took a couple of photos of me that she really, really liked, but they were overexposed and beyond her "fixing".

Or so she thought...but I suggested trying out a couple of filters, and guess what--it worked purrfectly!

We decided on the "instant camera" filter and a black border to complete the old-fashioned flavor.  Now the glare enhances the image and the washed-out colors are right.

Mommy was quite pleased...and so was I.

Good thing she has me to help!

Happy Tuesday, and remember:  Tuxies Rule!

Helping.

Kitties!

Daddy was doing some work on his business...and he had a Helper.

Can you guess who?

It was Maui!

We're pretty sure Maui is better at alphabetizing than Daddy.

Maui:  Yup, everything's in order...

...my work here is done.

Happy Friday!

Formal Snoopervision

Kitties!

Sylvester here.

One of the many Important Duties I perform is *Helping* in Daddy's office.

 Right now I am assessing the quantity of cassette tapes in this box...it appears there are just enough (missing) for one generously-sized Cat in formal wear to fit.  Please note my artfully draped tail, ready to drive Daddy insane flick across the keyboard at a moments' notice.

Since I have smushed precisely wedged myself into this box I do not appreciate any interference with and/or rearrangement of my furson.  See my Ears of Annoyance?

However, a scruff scritching (reward for a job Well Done) is completely allowed.

Kitties, how do you help?

Happy Thursday!

Pretty in Pink

Kitties!

The Mommy here.

Look:

Somekitty helped me paint the bedroom!

(Sorry about the orientation...didn't mean to make you dizzy)

They were teeny tiny prints...

...and I checked as many paws as I could find for evidence with no success.

I suspect May Ling as she was rather interested in the entire painting process...but she's keeping mum on the subject.  Which for her is Highly Suspicious--that meezer loves to talk!

And no, I didn't clean off the prints, they are too cute.

Happy Caturday!

Felix has a Favor to ask.

Kitties!

Felix here, and I have a tiny favor to ask.

Did you know that when we started blogging I had just had surgery on my leg for a luxated patella?

Mommy contacted some bloggers for information about my knee problem and we were overwhelmed by your purrs and support! 

It was pretty hurty, even with the pain patch.

But I healed up quickly, this photo is 35 days after my operation.  My furs were growing back and I was getting around just fine.  Nowadays you would never know that I might have been lamed forever.

Now, recently I found out that Leader Otis from the incredibly funny blog The Cult of Otis just had an even more serious operation than mine--he had a Hipsterectomy!  He has severe arthritis in his hip from an injury sustained when he was living feral and it was impeding his mobility terribly.  (Mommy cried watching the video of Otis limping.)  The only hitch is that Hipsterectomies are pricey, so here's my favor:  his guardians have a Chip In to help defray the cost of Otis' surgery and physical therapy, which will be at least $2000.  Can any of you spare a few green papers, or pass the word, or both?

Thanks!

Now, I gotta leap into this box with my TWO good hind legs.

Happy Wednesday!

Hard Labor.

Kitties!

Johnny here.

Did you know that I am a  Hard Working Kat?

It's true!

Mostly my work is of the observational variety, to wit:

Watching the watchers watch outside, and...

...watching the Watcher watch us!

Kitties, so far Mommy's vacation is going great.  She broke the news to us that she'll be gone for a few days to visit the Grandpeeps, however this one time we totally sanctioned the trip, cos she'll get to meet our cousin, Shadow, in furson!   Of course we whined and complained made her promise to blog every day, but we're letting her slide on the commenting; so if you feel a peculiar sensation it's prolly just us lurking.

Or gas.

Happy Thursday!

Back to the Salt Mines!

Kitties!

The holidays are over, and it's time to get back to work.

As you know, us Lounge Cats have a very dedicated Work Ethic.

We need to keep busy!

We supervised while Daddy cleaned up his desk before he started his latest project; he's going through his entire cassette tape inventory, from A to Z, to make sure that everything is correct in his eBay store.

We're always around, supervising. 

You know how inept Humans are!

Occasionally we multitasked--here Salem is washing her toes AND directing Daddy.

She's an organizational powerhouse!

The Baby (aka "Grizzelda") kept one good eye on the proceedings, and said "meh" whenever necessary.

Which, as it turned out, was a lot.

The neat desk didn't last long...

Happy Monday!
