No Dignity

Stygia: We are back in business, now that Ms. C and Mr. R are back from celebrating a very late Christmas with Ms. C's parents. We even got some presents!! Wasn't that sweet of them to think of their grand-cats? We will have to show them to you in the upcoming days.

Hee hee hee, look at this photo our mom captured of Abby sitting on Mr R's chair. Not very dignified, is it? There is really nothing dignified about her. Sometimes I wonder if she really is a cat at all. What do you think?

I enjoy spending time in our own chair next to Ms. C's, getting all of the attention I deserve. When I am happy, which is often these days, you can see how I smile:

Ms. C went out for a walk and brought back this evidence from the patio that we, too, get visitors outside our home. But we never see them! What kind of visitor do you think these tracks are from? We think they are from an Other Cat.

Funny Face

Abby: It's been SO EXCITING around here this week! Not only did we get to meet new people, but they also brought a number of boxes into the house, unwrapped them, and all kinds of stuff!

Ms. C's dad was assembling one of four "new bookcases" for her, and of course I had to assist him at every moment. Look at this awesome cave!

Ms. C said something about my "funny face." Do you think I am making funny faces? I don't think I am being funny. Humans are so weird!

I am sure they did this all for my benefit. I learned to make myself go really flat, and now I have four new hidey holes! Wheee!

Amazed

Stygia: For awhile now, Abby and I believed that Mr. R and Ms. C are probably the only other humans left in the world, and that was ok with us. Two cats, two people, what could be more perfect than that? But we learned today that there are Other People in the world, too. Ms. C's parents are here, and we are amazed! I am not afraid, however. It means there are four more legs to rub against!

Abby: I like to show the world how brave I am, but the truth is, I am a bit shy. I guess I was a little bit rude to Ms. C's Mom yesterday, and I hissed at her. I did it even though I kept walking over to her to check her out. I just needed to warn her that I had to sniff her first. I mean, I am not one of those cats that runs and hides as soon as they arrived, I am way too curious for that! But people need to know their place. Cats first!

They brought us a present all the way from Prince Edward Island, so now we have some new, very luxurious bowls to eat from! They are almost as adorable as we are:
