Happy Halloween (late)

New napping spots

For cats, variety is the spice of life when it come to napping. We've all noticed how our cats cycle through favorite napping spots.

Hana now gets into G's spot on the bed when he gets up in the morning.

And Gonzo has taken to sleeping on top of his monitor.

Cat Update

I was looking over my old posts and came across one that had a photo of the three stray cats we feed. Unfortunately, we only have one now. Ballsie McBalls took off when we were having a new roof put on the house, and never returned. Mr. Whiney has been looking rough that last month and we haven’t seen him in over 2 weeks. That leaves Twin, Hana’s nemesis and, well, twin.

Hana

Evacuation with a cat who HATES getting into her carrier is a nightmare. No cat likes getting into a carrier, but I have never seen one put up a fight like Hana. I have a scar on my wrist from one time. Greg managed to get her in by himself to evacuate for Gustav, but it took both of us to get her back in to come home. She managed to draw blood from both of us. Nothing super major but painful still. If any one has some suggestions… or a cat lasso or tranquilizer gun, I’m all ears. One thing we discovered, if we managed to scoot her in backwards, butt first, she puts up less of a fuss.

Gonzo "helping" pay bills

The printer Gonzo is sleeping on has stopped working (it's under the bills and towel). But she loves to sleep on it so and it keeps her off our key boards so it stays.

See you in the funny pages

"We are not amused."

Urban kitty sprawl

Yep, it's summer alright.

Bath time with Gonzo

After my shower I put on my terry cloth robe and Gonzo MUST be picked up! I'll be trying to put a towel on my head and she's practically jump on my shoulder from the floor. Not sure what it is with her and the robe. One friend said it's because I've washed her scent off and she's trying to put it back on. Now I have a camera again(!!!) here's some self portraits with the Gonzo one.

This came in my inbox. So bad, but so funny.

Engineer's Guide to Cats

Fun-ny.



Hat tip to Adrastos.

What are we going to do

when we no longer keep the ladder out? Gonzo loves it so.

The Zen of Hana

Hana was sleeping in the chair and Gonza decided she wanted to sleep in the chair with her. Nice leg on the neck.

Let me in!

We are all too familiar with this....

Nice day

New Bed

We got a new mattress, and the kitties were a little confused. But they tested the bed out and seem to approve. Hana slept half the night on the new bed with us and half on the old one. Gonzo's never known this room to be the bedroom. It's been the cat room since Greg finished he renovation. You can see the accumulated toys I stuck in the condo to get them out of the way.

Happy 2008

Hana's pelt is as colorful as the blanket.

I got a Gonzo for Christmas!

Afternoon snuggle. First Gonzo washes Hana...

...then Hana washed Gonzo.
