Convict or Tabby?

So, the new look--think I should keep it?

Happy Tuesday!

Two-Fur Tuesday

Sweet Pea and Rupert here.

Happy Twosday!

Mancat Monday

Kitties!

Rupert here.

In case you were wondering, it is the epitome of Manliness to cozy up on a heaty pad.

Especially when it's chilly!

Mommy squee'd when she saw me lounging on the sofa, toasting my tummy and oozing Grey Handsomeness but since she grabbed the camera instead of me I was forced to turn up the charm to get some pettings:

*wink*

It worked!

I got a lovely ear rub and all sorts of fussings.

purrrRRRRrrrRRRRrrrrrrrrr

Happy Monday!

The Accidental Selfie

Kitties!

Mommy took some pictures of me and The Baby on the Catio--and guess who else?

Her Shadow Selfie!

Thankful Thursday

Kitties!

It doesn't get any better than this:

Companionship,

Late afternoon sun,

and a heaty pad beneath.

Bliss.

Happy Thursday!

Deli Deliciousness

Kitties!

Check this out:

Daddy bought himself us some sliced turkey at the store.

He recklessly made a sandwich...

...so we immediately intervened to taste test the turkey for him.

We told Daddy "One can never be too sure of freshness!"

And "Better let us sample some more to be absolutely sure!"

It's all about safety, kitties...and making a sacrifice for the sake of your peeps.

(That, and plaintive meows combined with big sad eyes--ed)

Don't let your humans eat untested meats!

Happy Caturday!

Happy Thursday!

XX  Rupert  XX

Who Are You?

Kitties!

CC here.

Since I'm never too confident about much of anything, I regularly like to make sure that the other cats around here really are who they claim to be.

A simple sniff suffices.

Rupert, being somewhat more skeptical, prefers a full body cavity search.

Happy Tuesday!

Kitties!

Rupert, the Mighty Lizard Hunter here.

After endless hours of watching and stalking, I caught me a George...and attracted an entourage, which was well behaved--for once.

Well, except for Mommy and her running commentary:

As if eating a lizard is gross--it's not--they are delicious!  So good, in fact, it stayed down.  Now that's a mark of a most truly excellent snack, no?

A Giant FAIL

Kitties!

The Mommy here.

So, last Wednesday night I was goofing off crocheting relaxing on the sofa when suddenly there arose such a clatter...no wait...wrong story...try this again...all of a sudden a Cat Conga line danced indoors through the cat flap from the Catio and converged on the rug.  Since the gang had been glued to one corner of the Catio for most of the afternoon I knew this was gonna be good...and it was!

Somekitty (CC, I assume--he's a prolific hunter) had caught themselves a small skittery creature and thought that *maybe* they might get some much needed alone time indoors to better enjoy their small furry guest.  Alas, their hope was in vain...rodent hockey ensued with Rupert as the victor making tracks through the cat flap with the crowd thundering back out to the Catio and me right behind brandishing my phone.

Where I found the second period of hockey happening. 

Note: This is where innumerable small guests have perished been entertained so I didn't have great hopes for the latest one.

Naturally I got video:

Rupert then tired of the litter-box action and moved the venue to the carpet...

...where he re-attracted the crowd.*  

And then...THE MOUSIE GOT AWAY!!!!!

There was the tiniest aperture of escape during the final period of Rodent Hockey, and Mousie raced to the goal and freedom.

*sheesh*

I live with ELEBENTY cats, and they can't dispatch ONE mouse?  It's totally embarrassing!  On the bright side, I didn't have to clean up any regurgitated rodentia...

Happy Monday!

XX  The Mommy  XX

*Please note how Johnson has no clue what's going on--that boy is special, bless his heart*

Too Good To Pass Up...

...even though it's oddly angled and out of focus:

Kitties!

Rupert here.

For the record, I am not a pinhead.  I am Mommy's Most Handsomely Proportioned Grey Man and I will punish anyone who thinks otherwise with my vishus fangs.

And my clawrs and kikkers.

Happy Wednesday!
