Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you and all your loved ones have a happy day full of love.

Santa Tracker!

It is already Christmas in many places in the world, and I am tracking Santa Claus as he makes his deliveries.  You can track him at NORAD, or on Google.

I can't wait.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Happy Birthday KidBean

Holy Bast! KidBean is 11 today! It's amazing to think I first met him when he was six!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday dear KidBean!

Happy Birthday to you!

Easy Like Sunday

Mom's got all her Christy-mas preparations finished. The presents are all wrapped and are under the Christy-mas tree. I can see a bulge in my Christy-mas stocking, so I know there's something in there for me. There's homemade bread rising in the kitchen

Mom even finished the quilt she was working on.  All that's left now is the cleaning up.

Heh.

Saturday Quality Testing

Before the Holidays, I tend to be extra-busy checking Mom's quilts for Love, Kindness, Softness, Comfort and Warmth. (I also have to make sure they get an adequate coating of my furs.) A Quality Assurance Cat's job is a tough one, but somecat has to do it.

Furry Family Friday

This is my fur-cousin Obiwan. He lives with Mr Karate and Rubylocks in Catifornia. Obiwan is enjoying the quilt Mom sent to Mr Karate and Rubylocks for Christymas.

I am glad to see everybuddy is enjoying the quilt. Mr Karate says it has been "cold" out there in Catifornia lately, so this is perfect for them. Mom is very happy the quilt will be well-loved.

Thursday Thing

Hey! I'm over here in Mom's sewing studio today!

Mom and I sent a box of these to Mr Karate and Rubylocks. I always knew chocolate was like 'Nip for Beans, but I never thought chocolate dipped strawberries were like extra special super duper heavy duty 'Nip.

Now I know!

Happy Holidays!

Wednesday Wonder

It's HERE! It's HERE! The tree is here.

I had to inspect it very carefully.

 Ok, looks good so far.

 Mom really likes that the lights are already on the tree so she doesn't have to wrestle with them.

Here it is, all decorated. Mom is very happy.

Me too.

This and That Tuesday

No tree yet. Mom says it should arrive on THURSDAY.  I thought it would be here by now.  (sigh)

We should be getting more snow today. It will start after Mom goes day-hunting and snow all day. "They" say we could get between 2 - 6 inches. Ick. 

The temperatures should be getting back to "normal" by the end of the week.  Good thing.

Now if  you'll excuse me, I have napping to catch up on.

Millie Monday

Well! The snow is over for a day or so, but tomorrow is supposed to be really (really) cold.

How cold? Tomorrow morning it is supposed to be -2F!! (That's -19C!)

I'm glad I'm an indoor kitty with lots and lots of nice warm places to nap.

A White Sunday

OK, so the idea of a "White Christymas" is really a fantasy. We do get them, but rarely. Usually were we are here in New Hampster, we don't get that kind of snow until AFTER Christmas.  I think this year we're gonna have a white Christymas, though. Here is what it looked like last night at 11 PM. It had started snowing lightly at dinnertime.

No, Mom didn't go outside or open the window to take this picture. She took it right through the glass. (For the When When pictures, she does open the window.) 

When we both woke up this morning at 8 AM, she took this picture. It hard to tell how much snow there is, although it's easy to see there is a LOT. Mom says the snow is probably deeper than I am tall. It is not snowing now, but the storm may still drop more snow.

One of the very nice things about waking up with this much snow on the ground is that it's quiet. The snow muffles the sound and it's very peaceful. It will stay that way until folks start their snow-throwing machines and shoveling their driveways, and the monster snowplows go by and shake the house.

Crap

I mean, SNOW.

Frigid Formerly Feral Friday

It is really cold out. It is 9F outside (that's almost -13C).  That's the kind of cold we usually have in late January. The average high temperature here in December is 38F (3C) and the average low temperature is 20F (-6.7C).

I am trying to stay warm on my fleecy pillow in the warmest room in the house.

I cannot tell you just how happy I am that I am a formerly feral kitty.

Thursday Thing

I nap anyplace I want.  From this spot I can see everything.

Still no tree yet, but Mom says it's coming. It is due NEXT WEEK!

Wordless Wednesday, Nom Nom version

stinky goodness

crunchies

It's Coming...

Oh lookit! It's my Christy-mas stocking. It is WAY bigger than any of my feets. I can't wait to see what Mom fills it up with.

No tree yet, but I'm on the lookout.

PS, My holiday header was created by the wonderful Zoolatry!

Millie Monday

Once a month, Mom takes my litter boxes apart (one at a time) and washes them in the rainbox. She uses some stinky smelly anti-bac-bug cleaning stuff to get rid of all the stinky stuff. Then she rinses the parts and dries them all off.  After that she puts each Breeze box back together, puts the Breeze pad in the little slot, then dumps a bag of Breeze pellets and puts the cover back on. (Mom puts a new pad in the box each week, but the pellets only get changed once a month.)

While Mom does that, I am usually far away taking a nap in someplace comfy. My Mom's pretty cool.

Mom says Mr Brown will be bringing The Tree later this week.  I can't wait. I want to see that happen.  AND... Mom has moved the pointy-plants so I can't reach them. Frostin says they are terrible, horrible, no-good, very, very, very bad plants for cats to eat. How bad? How about a one-way ticket to the Rainbow Bridge bad?  Yikes!  Anyway, they are someplace I can't get to, which is fine by me because I plan to be here for a while.

Simply Sunday

I'm enjoying being at the top of my kitty condo and watching the world go by. Mom is getting the Christy-mas decorations up. We've never had one of these pointy-settas things before.

Mom put the Santa out right after Turkey Day. She wanted it where she could see it every day, so she decided to put it in the living room.

Have yourselves a nice lazy, easy Sunday.

Formerly Feral Friday

I don't mind posing for Mom when she takes pictures with her iFone. It doesn't flash bright lights into my eyes and it takes nice pictures too. 

I'm a lucky formerly feral feline. I have a great home and a spiffy kitty condo.  Mom says I'm overdue for a visit to the v-e-t. That wouldn't be a big deal if she could just pick me up anytime she wanted, but I'm not that kind of kitty. In that case, I'm still just plain feral.

Gymnastics

I like doing gymnastics on the top of my kitty condo. Sometimes Mom gets a good picture, like this one.

But sometimes it's a silly one!

Enjoy your Thursday.
