Don't Look Now!

Last night Mommy wanted to take our picture but her camera was upstairs so she thought she'd use her phone camera.  Seriously?  She expects us to pose nicely for a phone camera?  Uh, not gonna happen.

Don't look at her Bella!

Oops, I thought I heard a treat bag so I looked at her Angel.

Well, don't do it again! Look the other way!

That should teach her to expect us pose for a phone camera or any camera for that matter!  At least until tomorrow.

Hope you have a picture perfect day!

PeeS:  Thanks for the comments on Tortie Tuesday about Isabella's asthma.  Since Sunday she's had just one episode coincidentally on Tortie Tuesday!  It only lasted about 15 seconds as opposed to nearly a minute like before so the prednisone seems to be working.  She's also much more active and even gets up around 10am instead of noon!   Thanks again everybuddy!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday!  Yesterday my little sisfur gave her version of her weekend wrap up and today I'm gonna give you mine.  She thinks she's the only one around here who works but that's so not true.  I had to snoopervise the landscapers to make sure they didn't cut the power on Birdie TV...

I also had to make sure the pizza was thin crust...

On Saturday I had to go to the evil v-e-t because I keep coughing and it sounds like I'm coughing up a hairball but I've never had a hairball. Ever. Sparkle's human had told Mommy that it could be asthma but when I last went to the v-e-t, she didn't think so.  Finally she does so I'm now on prednisone.  I'm still coughing but not near as much so hopefully it'll help.  Nothing helped keep my little sisfur from following me around when I got home, sniffing me and hissing...

By Sunday evening though she was cold so she came up and plopped her floofy white body against me...  

It's a tough job being a snuggle bunny but someTortie's gotta do it!

Do you have any experience/advice about kitty asthma?

Hope you have a snuggly Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We had a fairly warm, very sunny weekend and Mommy even opened the window for me without complaining having to put on a jacket...

As always, I did have to work to do.  I helped pick the new tile and paint colors for the guest bath...

I realized after I picked the tile colors that it means a noisy stranger will be in our house for longer than we want him to be he estimates he'll be here.  Anyway, as with most colors in our house, they are sorta kitty colored...

Isabella was lobbying for Tortie colored walls but that won't happen...

After a nice long weekend, I wrapped it up by helping my sisfur stay warm by snuggling with her on the couch...

It's a tough job around here sometimes but somekitty's got to do it!

How's you spend your weekend?

Have a great start to your week!

A Room With a View

From the way I see it, it's already the weekend...

Hope you enjoy Birdie TV on the big screen, climbing on cat trees, naps or whatever makes you happy!

Enjoy your weekend!

Isabella

Play Time

We were asked to test out some new toys and since we love toys, we of course said yes!  The two we got to test were a clown and a pink elephant...

Do you like Angel's impression of the elephant?

Anyway, let's get down to business.  Toy testing is very serious work...

Angel held the poor clown upside down...

Until a birdie suddenly flew across the big screen...

Uh, Mommy, I'm still over here...

Okay, where was I? Oh yes...I'm gonna get you with my mighty Tortie feets Mr. Clown!

Toy testing is hard work but somekitty's got to do it...

Our test showed that for us, we like the elephant the best because of all the feets, tail and nose to grab on to.  We can bunny kick both of them though and Mommy is happy that they don't fit under the sofa or closet door.  If you'd like some pawesome kitty toys stuffed with potent nip, check out Pacific Cat Toys for these toys or lots of other selections!  

Hope you enjoy lots of play time today!

Isabella

PeeS:  Many thanks to Alice Marie and her mom for sending us the clown and pink elephant to try out!  We received the toys for free but that didn't influence our review since we only like what we like!

Tortie Tuesday

Although I'm a Tortie, I'm pretty sure non-Torties feel the same way about this one topic - if someone wants you to do something, don't do it.  Am I right?  Anyway, I was minding my own business, playing with the crinkly paper when Mommy wanted me to continue playing for a video to prove that I do play and don't just nap all the time.  Well, the only thing that's moving in this video is the camera...

And yep, as soon as she was done I started playing again!  Ha!  If you can't see the video, click here.

Mommy is kinda Tortie like in that we want her to help us blog but it's not even the end of January and she can't find enough time in the day for everything.  Because of this, we're going to let her off the hook during tax season so if she really doesn't have time to help us, we may miss a day or two of posting.  We're not happy with this but it should ease some of her stress which is best for all of us.  Trust me! 

I hope you spend your Tortie Tuesday doing whatever you please!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  It was chilly and foggy here all weekend but despite that, Mommy let me have some fresh air whiffs while watching the Birdie Network...

The reason she let me is because she and Daddy went to coast where it was warm(er) and sunny and I found out she took pictures of strange dogs!

They may be cute but come on...

This one obviously thought she was off her rocker...

She even dared to take a photo of a fisherdog and his fishermen...

The least she coulda done was bring us some fish but noooo!  Oh well, she may cheat but she still comes home to us and more importantly she comes home without a dog!  Phew!

Enjoy your week!

Off the Beaten Path on Sadieday

We're so glad it's Sadieday!  We had a busy week napping, playing, working so we're ready to go off the beaten path...

After a nap of course...

We're cats, what can we say?

Whatever path you go down today be sure it makes you smile!  Spread those smiles around so you brighten someone else's day too!

Enjoy your Sadieday and your weekend!

The Other Side...

We realized from the comments on yesterday's post that it seemed like we have a big room all to ourselves but that's not entirely true.  Since our mommy works from home, we have to share with her so this is her side of the room...

Pretty messy huh?  This is what our work days look like - Angel sits between Mommy and the back of the chair and I hold the beds down...

We know more about taxes than any kitty should from the years of helping Mommy with tax returns!  We're very hard workers so we totally deserve our slice of the cat tree jungle and aren't spoilt one bit!
Is it break time yet?

Snuggling is the best perk of this job!

Hope you get some snuggles today too!

Thursday Thinking

What better way to spend a day than laying on a comfy bed having deep thoughts all by myself...

Uh oh, here comes Miss Ants in her Pantaloons...

Sure she's in the corner cubby but I bet that lasts about 10 seconds...

Okay, maybe about 20 seconds...

Told ya.  She doesn't sit still for very long...

I bet she's pretending to be a lighthouse on top of the cat tree isn't she?

And now I bet she's trying to figure out what she can get in to...

She wears me out...

My sisfur and I are about as different as two kitties can be but I am glad she's my sisfur.  I think. 

Hope you are able to enjoy some deep thoughts today!

Wordless Wednesday Flashback - Birdie TV 1.15.11

Tortie Tuesday

You know, I'm a very mellow Tortie and I never get mad, disgruntled, or upset in any way but I'm not always very subtle...

Especially when I'm wasting away while waiting for dinner!

Subtle huh?

Hope you have a Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

First of all, Isabella says thanks for all the birthday wishes!  She spent the weekend being spoilt by Daddy and we're pretty sure she'll be spoilt by him the rest of the year too!

Mommy had a great time at the coast with her friends.  There was a storm along the Oregon coast which means high winds, some rain and lots of high waves which they watched from the comfort of the rental home.  This was their view...

Mommy didn't think about taxes once all weekend but she did think of us a lot.  She even saw a kitty in her dessert - do you see it?

She and her friends stopped in Gifted in Depoe Bay where our BeadedTail journals being sold...

That was pretty exciting for her to see!  We were excited when she got home especially since it's nearly impossible to get Daddy up in the mornings - Mommy is super easy to annoy patiently wait until she wakes up and feeds us!  Anyway, it's back to work today so we hope you had a wonderful weekend too!

Enjoy your week!

Celebrating a Birthday on Sadieday!

Yay it's Sadieday and it's also my 8th birthday!  Time to celebrate and bring on the frosting!  Hey, this isn't real frosting...

Since I came here to my furever family when I was 10 months old, there aren't any photos of me as a baby kitten but I was still a cutie as a toddler...

Since I'm the birthday girl I get to make wishes so I wish for furever homes for all kitties and woofies, for plenty of food and warm shelter for all and for everyone to give a chance to others despite our differences...

I also wish for everyone to do something to bring a smile to your face today and hopefully to others too!  It doesn't take much effort to smile but that smile can brighten the day!  Okay, I also wish for frosting.  Just sayin.

Have a treat in my honor today!  Enjoy your weekend too!

Isabella

PeeS:  Mommy is on the coast this weekend with her friends so we're enjoying our Daddy time but he doesn't help us blog so we will be lacking on commenting on your blogs.  Sorry!
