Happy New Years Eve!

The last day of 2013 has arrived and it happens to be on Tortie Tuesday.  Guess that means I should make a resolution but I can't think of anything about me that needs to be changed.  I'm purrfect already...

I have everything I want and I even have a sisfur I actually love having around.

Hey Angel, were those birdies?

Oh yeah, life is purrfect so no silly resolutions for me!

How will you be celebrating the New Year?

Happy New Years Eve!

Remember to party responsibly!

Monday Mishmash

Since we did a little of this and a little of that this weekend, our Monday is a little of this and a little of that too.  Okay, the truth is that we did a lot of napping and not a lot of planning but anyway, let's see what we can find for today's post...

The Saturday before Christmas we got a package delivered and the mail lady brought it to our door.  When Daddy went out to get it from her she said she wasn't sure if the address was right or if we had guests staying with us since she wasn't familiar with the names on the package.  Daddy told her "yep, they're here, they're our cats".  For some reason she giggled...

Last fall Mommy asked our friend Edi from Memories for Life if she could put a photo of a scanned leaf onto a wooden back so we could hang it on the wall.  Edi can do anything so of course she could!  When she printed out our leaf though she told Mommy it must have been scanned in jumbo size so asked for the actual measurement of the leaf.  We told her it was actual size, we really do have 9 1/2 inch leaves here in Oregon! Guess leaves aren't that big in Iowa!  Anyway, they turned out great...

We made our Grandma from Las Vegas a necklace for Christmas with a pendant personalized by Edi with Grandma's dog Samy on it.  Samy went to the Bridge earlier this year so we're told the necklace made grown people cry but in a good way.  Now that Christmas is over, it's safe to show it here...

When Grandma saw the back she said "his name is even spelled with one "m" like we spelled it!  Yep, she was totally caught off guard with this surprise gift!

Okay, all this mishmash wore us out...

Hope you enjoy doing a little of this and a little of that today!

Spreading Smiles on Sadieday

Happy last Sadieday of 2013!  Since our Mommy will soon be turning into the full-time tax kind of CPA (blech) instead of the full-time CPA (Cat's Purrsonal Assistant) that we enjoy most of the year, it's a good time to remind everyone that there's only a few days left to maximize your income tax deductions while bringing smiles.  Curious?

Well, of course we're talking about donating to charities.  Even if you don't itemize or need any deductions, cash donations or donations of non-cash items like cat food, dog food, toys or other helpful items to shelters, the charities would be very appreciative and your heart will be happy and a smile will be on your face!

There are ways to donate that don't require cash outlay such as cleaning out your closets and taking gently used clothes and household items to a charity run thrift shop or even taking old blankets and towels to animal shelters.  Dogs would love to sleep on your old blankets this winter!

Feel free to give us other ideas in the comments!
We hope you find plenty to smile about this Sadieday!  Be sure to spread those smiles around since you never know who's day you'll brighten with a smile!

Enjoy your Sadieay and have a great weekend!

PeeS:  If you are donating for the tax benefits, remember to get a receipt!  Your CPA will be grateful!

Mommy's Office is Becoming a Forest of Cat Trees!

As we mentioned yesterday, Santa also brought us a cat tree which he left in Mommy's office.  He put it in the corner thinking we wouldn't notice it right away among all the other cat trees in there...

Well, Santa needs to learn a little more about cats since we hone in on anything new right away...

This new tree has a hidey hole at the bottom of it...

See, I hidey in the hole and Isabella can't see me even with my lasers on...

She saw me get out and well, you know what they say - monkey see, monkey do...

I checked out the middle bunk...

Yep, monkey see, monkey do...

This new tree is pretty nice but it'll take a little getting used to....

Yep, you got it, monkey see, monkey do...

It pays off being good kitties most of the year with such pawesome presents from Santa!

We hope you have a pawesome Friday!

Santa Claws Was Here!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  We sure did!  Santa brought us our presents on Christmas Eve but we didn't see him or his reindeer.  We think that Daddy scared him off when he went into the living room because by the time we got there, Santa was gone but he left us a new Ess!

After the sniff inspection, I tried out the new Ess...

It didn't take long for Isabella to try to take the fevver thingy off...

I might of helped a little...

Santa also left us a rattlesnake...

Isabella deaded it right away but I was a little leery of it...

Santa also left some Peppermint nip toys that made me wild!

Why are you standing on your head Mommy?

Look! I can touch my own nose with my tongue!

They certainly are potent peppermints!  Anyway, we also got more nip mousies and toys and treats and even a new cat tree which we explored later.  Santa was very good to us this year!  The bestest part is all the boxes and crinkly paper he brought too!  

We'll be recuperating today but we hope you enjoy your day!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and your family joy, love and happiness....

for Christmas and always!

Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve on Tortie Tuesday!   We're still a few hours from opening our presents from Santa but I helped Mommy open her present from her BBArtisans team Secret Santa Judy from MisterPenQuin.  She got a pretty little notebook, some lotion to help her smell nice and a box of chocolates...

Hey, I think that bow is moving!

There it went again!  That bow is asking for a whappin!

Mommy took it away before I could give that bow the what for.  She's such a party pooper!

Anyway, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve!  We hope your heart is filled with love and joy and your stocking is filled with goodies!

Merry Christmas Eve from all of us!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  I sure did!  It was warmer and sunny so I enjoyed some fresh air...

I also enjoyed a nice bath on the couch with Isabella and Daddy...

I watched Mommy make Christmas cookies for the neighbors...

She wouldn't let me get too close though.  She thought I might lick a cookie or two since I love frosting.  Can you believe it?  Is this not the face of innocence or what?

For the record, I didn't lick a cookie so I'm still on the nice list for Santa!

What was something you did this weekend?

Have a tasty day!

Merry Sadieday!

Since it's the Sadieday before Christmas and our sisfur Sadie loved this holiday, we thought we'd see some of the ways she celebrated.  She loved when our tree would get all set up...

Mainly because of the presents underneath...

She loved presents!

Santa was always really good to her but of course, we think she was the cutest Santa ever!

We hope you enjoy the holidays as much as our sisfur did!  We also hope she made you smile and you spread that smile around!  You never know who's day you'll change by a simple smile!

Wishing you a Merry Sadieday and a great weekend!

Finally Friday

After the week we've had of interrupted naps, we're really glad it's Friday!  We'll be teaming up to hold Mommy down so she can relax too...

At least until she starts complaining about not being able to feel her feet anymore which makes no sense to us because they're right there at the end of the blanket...

She just doesn't appreciate the hard work we do to make sure she relaxes.  Sheesh.

We hope you have a relaxing end to this week!

Group Effort

Things are crazy around here, well, actually it's just Mommy.  She blames it on having a late Thanksgiving resulting in less time to get everything done before Christmas.  Yeah, whatever.  Christmas comes on the same day every single year so you'd think she'd figure that out.  Did you notice we had two Wordless Wednesdays yesterday?  I tell ya.  If she didn't treat us like royalty we'd be accepting applications about now.  Anyway, Mommy had to wrap some presents so my sisfur and I pitched in since we knew she couldn't do it by herself.  Isabella tied little knots on the ends of the sweatshirt strings...

And I checked that they were secure...

Then gently tucked them in the box...

I also held the paper down while she wrapped the presents...

Then I used my lasers to keep track of the packages until they were ready to be delivered...

We're hoping things calm down soon since having to help Mommy so much is really cutting into our naptime.  Okay, just my naptime since Isabella's naps are just as long as always.  Hope Mommy appreciates my sacrifices!

Are things hectic at your house too or just ours?

Hope you have an enjoyable day!
