Abby gets a turn!

Abby: Stygia is usually the one in the window all day long. She has black fur and, snakelike, lays there and totally bakes her brains out. She is such a sun pig! I hardly ever get a turn. But today I did!

As you can see, I am enjoying myself very much. VERY MUCH! I hope all of you are having as spectacular a weekend as I am. 

Have you had your catnip today?

Abby: Have you had your catnip today?!

Ms. C: It's a TRAP!

Stygia on Sunday

Stygia: Hello, everyone! Today it's just me, Abby Normal is not feeling like her normal self today. I've been having a great day! Ms. C brought me a new toy, a little furry mouse! And ... there was some catnip on the floor! I sniffed the catnip. I rubbed my toy in the catnip, and then I made it fly!

I loooove this mouse, it is my friend!

I even carry it around to different places where I need to play with it. This used to be a hamper for the people, but now it's a cat play-house. Both Abby and I like it, but right now we are isolated from each other until she gets over her belly problems, so I have it all to myself! The mouse definitely needs to be played with in here too.

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful weekend!

When she's good....

... I am very very good! I am really good at keeping Ms. C company. She has not been able to assist me with my writing for a few days because she has been very sick. She is still not feeling very well at all, so let's all purr for her at the count of three. Ready? One.... two.... three... PURRrrrrrRRrRRrR !!!

I want to be just like Ms. C. I've been following her to the bathroom and keeping a close eye on her every time she goes since I have come to my forever home here, and this past week I decided to try it myself. I admit, I am not very good with aim, but Ms. C praised me anyway.


... and sometimes they tell me I am not-so-good. I like to bite a lot of stuff, and sometimes the more I know I am not allowed to bite it, the more I want to bite it. That's what happened when this picture was taken, and Mr. R held me close for a long time after that. I even growled.

Usually when I am feeling naughty and doing those things I shouldn't do, the squirt bottle gets me. I have learned it is wisest to listen to Ms. C when she says no, or else I will be squirted and I hate that!!


Finally, because I know so many of you enjoy these things so much, here is my full monty! It's a great way to start the weekend don't you think?

How do you like my belly spots? I think they are coming back very nicely. And I am laying with a toy, I really like to do that.

Special Whiskers

Yesterday, my mom promised you a picture of my new, special whiskers. But first, here's a picture of my normal whiskers. You can see that I smile in my sleep:

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get a good picture that illustrates the true cuteness and specialness of my special whiskers. Mine are just beginning to grow in. I think that these whiskers are probably typical of my kind, but Ms. C is charmed because the cat that came before did not have these decorations. The special whiskers are not in the normal four rows on my muzzle or the ones on my brow, but are set further back along my cheek:

If you want to see a better example of special whiskers, check out the lovely portrait of Ambrose over at Grrreta's blog. He is a fully developed mancat, and hopefully when I am full-grown I can also possess such lengthy and beautiful special whiskers!

I got a new toy. I think Ms. C is a little more enthralled with it than I am, it's called the Silly Octopus Toy:

However, seeing as I will play with anything and everything that can be moved, I am sure it will come to play its own vital role in the theatre of my war-time dramas.

Finally, I've decided to get over my shyness a little bit today and show you how nicely my belly is healing. Yes, you may look at my belly! My spots are coming back!

PS. Mr. Hendrix tagged me for a meme, and tomorrow I shall tackle it!
