Fun Friday

Ariel: What's this Mom? Is it for me?
Mom: No Ariel, it's for the junk in the closet.


ARiel: But Mom, I like it.

Yep, it's mine!!

Tough Day Thursday

Update: Thanks for the tips. Looks like the consensous is to try the Feliway. We've been using the feline pine for two years, no one seems to mind. I have three boxes in two rooms and they seem to all use the same 2 for the most part. I bought one of those pans with litter yesterday, figuring that if her problem was an infection I could put it in our evacuation kit. They ripped the cover off it right away, so I guess they like it. Maybe I'll give them variety if that's what will work.

Lemieux: Tocchet and I had a tough day today. Mom got out the carriers and took us to the V-E-T. Tocchet got a shot and I got poked at.

Mom: Tocchet had to get a rabies shot, in case we have to evacuate any time this hurricane season. Lemieux is having 'improper elimination' issues. Dr. Hassel says no infection, she's probably stressed. I thought all went well when the houseguests were here...maybe not. Anyway, I've gotten rid of the throw rugs, and I'm in the process of scrubbing (again). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Wordless Wednesday

Easy Like Sunday Morning

We all enjoyed a quiet evening in the yard. Tocchet was too deeply undercover in his jungle for a photo.

Snuggly Saturday

Lemieux crawled in to the linen closet thinking she would get some quiet time. She made too much noise getting there, though, so I had to interrupt for a minute!

Thoughtful Thursday

Ariel looks like she's thinking about something - she looked so cute I had to stop before I went out the door and grab the camera. When I came back 3 hours later, she was in the same spot.

Whisker with Catitude

Lemieux thinks Mom is awfully silly!

Tabby and Tuxie Tummies

Well, the house guests are gone!!!!
Lemieux is taking back her bed.

Ariel is so relieved she is showing some tummy.

Tocchet, well he'll show a little tum from his favorite perch anytime.

Mom needs a day or two to get things back in order, then we should be back on our regular blogging schedule. We miss everyone!

Peace

I know this is late, but I think that's OK. A BIG, special thanks to ML for making this for us.

Ann

Tuxie Tummy & Toesies

Lemieux is taking a much needed break from the recent constant chaos that has been our home for the past couple of weeks. She is relaxing in her favorite, full Monty position.

Mancat Toby

We want to honor cousin Toby on this Mancat Monday. He is such a friendly guy, a great house guest, and he turns 5 years old this week!

House Guests

Toby and Baby Girl have come to stay with us for a couple of weeks, with mom Bonnie and bean brother Brandon. Everyone is getting along quite well. Yes, the whole family has a thing for black and white cats.

Tuesday Toesies

Take a look at these toesies. You better not make me mad!!!

Fabulous Friday

Here we all are, looking fabulous (and sick of the flashy box). We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.

Wednesday Whiskers

Lemieux and Tocchet have been hogging the blog, so it is my turn. Mom says I get very 'intense' when something catches my attention.

Mancat Monday

I just love my big furry gentle giant.

Fun Friday

Lemieux here. Just chillin', having fun hiding from the grandbaby beans. They have invaded the place today.

Tocchet's Been Tagged

My sweet friend Emma tagged me for the 7 random facts meme, so I will wake up and get to work. Here they are:
1. I was born on St. Patrick's Day in 1992, and have been with Mom from that day on.
2. I have a plate and some screws in one of my back legs, from when I got hit by a car when I was just a young stud.
3. I was quite the hunter in my younger days. Don't even ask the young girl bean about the baby bunny. I stopped hunting when I was about 10, and now I'm an indoor only kitty.
4. Compared to my Momma Cheyenne, I was WAY nicer to the little kitties that the girl beans brought home. That has earned me lots of nicknames, including Uncle Tocchy and Gentle Giant.
5. I hardly ever meow, and when I do it sounds real scratchy. I prefer to be the strong, silent type.
6. I am lots bigger than Ariel and Lemieux, but I hardly ever push them around. (They're too fast anyway).
7. I HAVE to sleep next to Mom at night, even though she says I snore. The nerve! I AM the King Kitty.

I think everyone has been tagged, but I hereby tag anyone who wants to play. The rules are posted below, from when Lemieux was tagged.

Thanks, Efurryone!

In the big scheme of things, my life is pretty low-stress, by design. Today was a sad day, mostly because my employer's cat suffered complications giving birth and lost her kittens. It was a long day too, some other family issues got more complicated, and I was pretty down when I got home.

I want to share these pictures because after just a short time checking everone's blogs this evening, I feel as relaxed as I did when I watched these sunsets.

Thank you all for being there and being you.
