Sleepy Things, Silly Things

Stygia: First, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite spots in the house: my chair. It's in a corner, I get a good view, and it's close to a baseboard heater, so I was cozy all winter long! Another great thing about my spot is that there is a mirror on the wall right beside the chair, so no matter what way I face, I can get a 360-degree view of whatever might be coming my way (Abby!). The comfy red cushion is mine, and covered generously in my own lovely fur.


Now I need to tell you something about my silly sister, Abby. Ms. C was printing photos to send to her grandma, and for whatever reason, Abby just loves that printer. The very sound of the printer printing causes her to approach, and she will crawl all over it, waiting for paper to come out. After Ms. C made a copy of her resume, Abby hopped right up on to the scanner/copier part of the printer, and Ms. C pressed the SCAN button! I would never think of doing anything so . . . so unseemly!

Happy Easter & Dog Days!

Abby & Stygia: We would like to wish you a happy Easter! To celebrate the day (it was windy but pretty), Ms. C went out for a walk at a local park. Spring has only just arrived to our area, and is nowhere near full bloom, but a few plants and trees are displaying their blossoms:


While she was out there, she also met a DOG. His name is Cody and he is about seven months old. She says he was extremely frisky and excited to be outside with the chance to really run around. He insisted on being in the picture with her that his people took for her:


What we were really interested in seeing was this, do you know what it is?


Yes, you are right. It's a birdhouse! And here is an inner view, as you can see it is inhabited, although no one was home at the time:


Last but not least, we wanted to make sure that there was also a friendly sign to hang on a door, since ours yesterday were a little catty. This one features Tom of The Poupounette -- it's clickable so you can biggify it to see it properly:

Cat Door-Signs

Abby: After our mom saw this picture of me today, she was inspired to make some signs for our doors and your doors. You can download them and print them out!

Here they are, for people and cats with attitude!

Cat Yoga

Abby: Ms. C and Mr. R have begun doing Yoga. I don't think I need to practice with them, as I am obviously a Guru. Look at this pose:

I challenge YOU to post your best Yoga poses on your blog sometime this week, then comment here! I will feature them all in a week. (or, you can email me your entries to tabbynormal AT gmail.com).


Ms C: Abby, somehow it looks like you need to do some meditation:

Abby: Can you see what I am getting into? Mmmm.... I bet it won't take you long to guess!

I love it so much, I love everything, I love this sweater I am hugging. My claws slide in and out as I hug it, rub my chin on it, and roll on it as best I can. Somehow this table seems a lot smaller than it did when they adopted me last June and I weight 5.5 pounds instead of 11 pounds.


I am inspired to go down to visit Mr. R, who is arranging things in this box. It definitely needs the BITEY!

I don't think I'm the only one getting into the 'nip, either!

Dreary Day

Abby: What better thing can you think of to do on a dreary day, besides have a nice long nap? Me neither, I could not think of much else. Ms. C went to the store, and was a bit surprised to find us both on the couch when she returned. We didn't leave any space for her. That's what you get for going out into the dreariness and not napping with us! I did show her my belly though as soon as she came over.


Ms. C's nephew got her these fun shoes when he was on vacation in Florida a few weeks ago. She decided to take a picture of herself wearing them for him, and she considered it important to get ME in the picture too. I can take a few minutes away from my nap-time to pose, and maybe chatter at some birds while I am at it:


And, just in case you wonder what we on the couch are dreaming about, it's this:

Blog Hogs: Introducing Autumn!

Abby: Today I would like to introduce the cat who owns a human friend of ours (Ms. A), and her name is Autumn! Although, I think she prefers to think of herself as Her Royal Majesty, Autumn.

Autumn does not have a blog of her own. She is about 7.5 years old, weighs about 9 pounds, and is mostly Bengal bob-tail, with some bobcat and tabby in the mix.

Because of her Bengal background, one thing Autumn love love LOVES is water!! Can you imagine that?! She makes sure that Ms. A is on the alert and has all the taps on for her when she Arrives in the bathroom. Check out her happiness at being in a bathtub filling with water:

Autumn is a very selective cat. As she is the only female non-human in the household (she has 2 cat step-brothers, Loki and Brutus, as well as two doggy step-brothers, Llyr and Argo), she has a politically tough role to maintain.

She demands that her blanket be properly fluffed and placed in her favorite spots before she is content to settle down. As you can see, this is one of the ideal warm, high points in the household, and it is hers to occupy and snoopervise from:

Don't forget to visit House Panthers today to see Stygia! Have a great weekend!
