Where Cat Toys End Up

Under the stove. After having lived with this stove for five years or so we just recently discovered that you can pull the bottom drawer (you know, the stove drawer where you keep the extra pots and pans that you never use and the drawer never gets cleaned so it's full of dust and oven dirt?) all the way out of the stove. Usually we try to retrieve the cat toys from under the stove with a fly swatter or ruler. Wow, pulling out the drawer really makes it easier to get the toys out from under there. Duh.

And this is why we continually buy new toys for the cats, because they all eventually end up under the stove and we think the cats have nothing to play with. Maybe they are doing this on purpose.



Please disregard the state of my kitchen floor. We are still anxiously waiting for Keith to put in the new floor. After all, it's only been a year since he started ripping out the old floor.

And here is the awwww picture for the day. Bear hugging her Mimi.

Funny Stuff

This one reminds me of school picture day. "Now be sure to smile for your picture today so it looks good!"



And this one might be a little blasphemous, but it made me laugh!

Hiding in Plain Sight

Harri thinks that if she stays in the laundry basket she is safe from Buddy the bully.
I'm going to get her a laundry basket of her very own because this one usually has dirty (and sometimes clean) clothes in it.



And Mimi thinks that nobody can see her, either.



You can just barely see her little paws peeking out, though.

There she is! Sound asleep.

Annoyed Pepper

Pepper loves our new sofa. So much that she claimed one corner as her very own and gets a little pissy if you want to sit in HER corner. Buddy, being the take no prisoners type that he is has decided that HE belongs in Pepper's corner, much to her chagrin.



Look closely and you can probably see the daggers shooting out of Pepper's eyes. She is not happy about Buddy being in 'her' space. And if I want to sit down, I make two kitties pissy.

Total Relaxation

Lucy was getting her hugs and kisses from Bear yesterday. She was in a state of total bliss.

Cats in the Cupboard-Again

Last night while relaxing in front of TV watching the evening news, I heard some banging noises coming from the kitchen and knew right away that we must have shut a cupboard door on one of our unsuspecting cats. They're strong enough to push the door open a little bit, just enough so that it will close again with a bang, but not quite strong enough to push it open all the way.

So, I go into the kitchen to see who got stuck inside the cupboard and see Mimi staring at the cupboard door, so, no, it's not her. I open up the cupboard and there's Lucy looking back out at me like 'Hey! What's the matter with you shutting that door on me? It's dark in here!'

We usually do a head count once a day to make sure nobody's missing in action, with six of them there's always somebody getting into something.

No These Aren't For You

Keith brought me some flowers yesterday. We had to put them way up high where the cats won't eat them, which they tried as soon as we put them in water.
