Ooooh, you can't see me hiding here, AMBUSH TIME! :DQuote:

Here they are watching the snow fall, then wrestling, and Rita doing what she loves - hunting muskrats in the creek yesterday.
I went away for the w-end, leaving Calypso to fend for herself, and took Bonnie to the vet (she needs meds 2x/day). So I come home and Calypso is beside herself running all over the house, tagging my legs on the fly by. Then looks for Bonnie. Then comes to me to cry something to the effect, YOU came home, WHERE is Bonnie? Or at least that's how I took it. Then she's off again to kill the stuffed mouse, play chase with her pom-pom ball, and Oh! Look! a paperbag on the floor!!!! :D
Silly cat. :p:)
What would we do without 'em? My cat is soooo lovey dovey right when I get home from work. Then he quickly wants to do his thing again - NOW! (I'M in charge, Mom. Let's get that straight!)
My animals are constantly amusing me. First picture is how amazingly tiny Heidi can curl up. She is a tiny dog but she just looks so little. The other is a really hilarious moment. Heidi was laying on the couch next to my hip, Tortilla was laying on my chest. Heidi got jealous and climbed on Tortilla, where they stayed for at least 10 minutes.
Tortilla put up with Heidi sitting on her? That's one tolerant cat! Very cute pic.
Yes she did, they are constantly snuggling and laying on each other. Definitely a unique relationship but we are so lucky. Both like company, I knew Heidi needed a friend after we lost Maggie but I didn't expect how they act.Quote:

I know I'm anthropomorphizing, but I get such a kick out of seeing the disgruntled look a cat can put up :D
Like this morning when I was running late, barged into my sons room and pulled open the sliding closet door to find my jacket - and got this righteous, annoyed and shocked, I say, shocked! look from Lyra who had ensconced herself on the top shelf. "And what exactly do YOU think you're doing here!"
I can't remember ever having seen her scared. Pissed off or fleeing guiltily, but not scared. I love cats.
Nice name, Lisa!
Your cat is beautiful Bleecker. I for one, am a sucker for a cat with a "wild" like... like she is a mini-mountain lion or bobcat so "Sheba", female lion, suits her.
I like most animals but cats are special. Maybe not the most intelligent of animals but definitely the most intuitive and with the greatest sense of humor demostrated when my cat spends time hunting, catching and destroying a Pony-O (hair rubber band). He also likes to tortute me when I am on the computer "No Cat! I can't type when your butt is in my face!!!!" I do some graphic design and hte cat sits in my lap while I am "drawing" fascinated by the cursive's movements.
Cat's really are cool... I can't imagine life without one!
Cute names. A good fit for the kitty.Quote:

Brat Cat 1.0 has figured out how to unlatch my back door. He also pulled a "Houdini" back in September by figuring out if he climbs the top screen in my front window, it will cause the screen to drop a bit and...voila! freedom!Quote:

I'm also convinced that he knows how to open the fridge & use the microwave.
This is an old picture but it shows him doing something other than sleeping. :D

It was actually quite warm that night, 75 degrees. But a heated dog bed does sound nice, she loves her little sweater when it is cold. The animals are quite prone to these shenangins, they can be a wee bit jealous of onne another. Other times they snuggle, it is quite an amazing relationship.Quote:

I am so glad to read that you have a new family member. :) Your special new kitty will bring so much into your life and help soothe a broken heart. For whatever reason, they always know when to come knocking on our heart's door and become a welcomed, permanent guest. My best to you and yours during this new season of hope. ~CathyQuote:
