Snow Day and meme

Stygia: We got some snow here today. To be honest, it has not turned out as terribly as we feared. Here is a shot Ms. C took at 6:30am:

And here is one she took around noon. You can't see the ground, but there is probably about 6-8 inches of snow.

It's stopped now, however, and guess what?! The sun came out! It is really bright out now, and I was very, very excited about that. I howled at Mr. R's chair and jumped all over it. I ran back and forth upstairs, attacking Ms. C's big bag, the green frog, my mice, and the rug by the window. Here I am, reaching out to Ms. C in mid-excitement:

What did Abby do? That lazy thing didn't even notice when the sun came out. She was napping between Ms. C's legs on the couch, and when Ms. C got up, she didn't even bother to move or object when Ms. C covered her up with the afghan:

We were tagged by The Kittini Boys for the 5th Photo Meme!

The rules are:

3. Click on the fifth photo.
4. Post the photo and describe it.
5. Tag five other bloggers for the Meme.

Almost all of Ms. C's pictures are of us. It's only natural.

We don't think this photo actually appeared on the blog before! It's showing early to mid October of 2008. We are showing our love of the sun. I think it's pretty cool that you can see both of us in the picture.

When it snows...

Abby: Look at this! And it is still snowing! What's a cat to do on a day like this??

Well, I have the perfect solution. I have this shoebox with a fleece lining, and I am just going to have a little snooze in it. I wish it were a little smaller, but it is cozy enough. Best of all, I can still keep an eye on Ms. C and Mr. R from here very easily. Nothing escapes my notice because I will NOT be left out of anything!

Stygia: My solution to this weather is to snooze in the middle of the couch. From here, I can easily keep an eye on everyone as well. Usually, I am left in peace to have a luxurious nap, but I really don't mind the times like these when Abby comes along and washes my head. She even gets deep into my ears, which feels really good:

Hey! Wait a minute Abby! You are supposed to be helping me groom, not starting a wrestling match! Arrrrgh! (thundering follows)

.... Well, at least we are keeping warm, and we hope you are, too!

Feelin' Cozy

Abby: Ms. C says we ended up with over a foot of snow yesterday! And we were one of the lucky families in our area that did not lose power. Nevertheless, it was much colder than we cats were used to. Ms. C covered me with her bathrobe while I was relaxing on the floor, and I really liked how nice and warm it made me feel. Here I am giving Ms. C a small meow because she is talking to me, and I like to reply:


I am not biting my sister Stygia in this picture! She was wanting to play with that green mousie you see, but when I came over to give her a little help with washing her ears, she stretched out for me. I wish she would wash my ears, I can tell it feels good!


Stygia: She knew I was feeling playful, so of course as soon as the washing ended, we had to wrestle! I find that wrestling in the presence of my favorite mouse (the green one that still has a tail, of course!) makes it even more fun!!!

Ms. C: Here are some of our poor birch trees, weighed down by the heavy snow:

At last, the sun comes out! Yesterday, there was no sun, so of course Abby and Stygia have gravitated towards those warm spots on the cat condo and floor, to bathe and fall helplessly into naps!

What a week!

.... White Stuff?!

Stygia: It is not very nice out today, but I don't mind that much. It is warm in here, and I am snoopervising Ms. C while she does some painting. See how nicely I tuck? By the way, I know some of you are down on me for whapping Abby yesterday! But she practically did a drive-by licking. If you're going to do a job, do it right! Not half-pawed! Or tongued!


Ms. C took this picture at 8am this morning. It is not very cold out (33 degrees F), so the snow is very wet and heavy, and therefore hard to move. But we are cozy inside!


Abby: Snow, schmow. I am cozy.
