We're Quiet but We're Fine

We're enjoying the last bit of summer laying in sunpuddles...

And being discombobulated when Daddy is on the wrong side of the window doing yardwork...

September is just around the corner but before then we have one last week of August to enjoy! Hope you enjoy it too!

Happy day to you!

Weekend Wrap Up

Our first weekend in December was a whirlwind. We spent Saturday with Daddy while Mommy and a friend of hers went to Portland to see Summer and her human. Summer was a Pet Me cat at a cat show which meant our mommy pet her a lot...

Yeah, okay, we see how adorable she is and we know Mommy can't resist petting her soft furs. We're pretty sure Summer knows it too...

Rumor has it that at one point Summer was sleeping and somemommy made her get up so she could hold her. Crazy, huh? We're sorry she woke up Summer but at least she knows that around here the rule is to let sleeping dogs lie...

Anyway, we're going to be having some visitors here soon. We know this because the rare sight of cleaning supplies happened yesterday. Our posting and visiting might be sporadic for the next week or so. 

We hope your December is off to a great start!

A Bit of Summer...

We had Summer in Oregon this weekend. Summer Samba and her human were in Portland for the CFA International Cat Show so our mommy and daddy went to see them! Summer wasn't competing this time but she was the Pet Me cat so her job was to represent the Somali breed, look cute and also make people squee..

Of course our mommy squee'd, A LOT especially when Summer was in her Santa outfit...

Summer is a very special kitty. She's a therapy cat, she's super sweet and she does tricks like high five and ringing a bell. She's a hard working kitty but she also knows when it's time to take a break...

Mommy very much enjoyed seeing Summer and her human again. Rumor has it she might have done some Christmas shopping at the cat show for her two favorite kitties too! It was a good weekend all around!

How was your weekend?

Happy beginning of Turkey week!

Sunpuddle Bliss

What's better than enjoying a sunpuddle on a beautiful summer day?

Sharing the sunpuddle with my little sisfur (and BatCat)!

There's still plenty of room if you want to share some of our sunpuddle too!

Hope you have a sunny weekend!

A Little of This, None of That

After three super hot days, it's finally cooled down which means open windows...

We're hanging on to summer as much as we can even though the calendar shows September is coming in 10 days. There's so much to do before the rainy season, holiday season and tax season gets here. Time just seem to get away from us! So what is the best way to slow down time? Just relax and savor every moment...

That's what we'll be doing in the next few weeks. We'll post when we have something to say but mostly we'll be savoring the remaining days of summer.

Hope you have a day to savor too!

Tortie Tuesday

We're nearing the end of May which means summer is around the corner. Summer means ice cream!

I love ice cream...

Even if it's just to bunny kick the halibut out of it...

Ah yes. I can't wait until ice cream season...

And sunpuddle, open windows, warm breezes, afternoon naps season!

What's your favorite part of summer?

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you enjoyed the last weekend of January! We got abandoned on Saturday while Mommy and Daddy went to the International Cat Show in Portland to see Summer and her human Janiss. See how excited Summer was to see that crazy lady our mommy again?

Actually, Mommy said Summer was super sweet as always and let Mommy muss up her furs once or twice. She was sleeping most of the time despite the incredible amount of people who were at the show. Summer's half brother Chilly was right next to her and he got called up to compete while Mommy was there...

He's a blue Somali and was a sweetie too and gave mommy a little kiss and rubbed his nose on her's. She may have been smitten by Summer and Chilly and also surrounded by lots of other cats at the show but we're the ones she came home to and I made sure she didn't go anywhere else...

I even turned up the purrs so she was putty in my paws! We all ended up having a great weekend!

How was your weekend?

Hope you have lots to purr about today!

Weekend Wrap Up

Okay, we admit, we enjoyed our daddy time but I let him know yesterday morning that I couldn't wait for Mommy to get home. He told Mommy I was whiny. Whatever. Thankfully she knew better. As soon as she got home I greeted her at the door and rubbed all over her. I also let her know under no uncertain terms would I allow her to take the box with wheels anywhere anytime soon...

She reminded me that our loot was inside so I did let her open it. Imagine our surprise when we found out that the TSA searched our loot!

Everything was accounted for so all is well! Anyway, as Mommy was unpacking she told us all about her trip. Turns out she cheated on us again with Summer. She's pretty smitten with that girl especially after Summer touched her nose to Mommy's then rubbed her face against her cheek. Yep, she had her by her pretty little paw after that! But rumor has it Summer gives head butts to a lot of people but don't tell Mommy!

Seems that our Flats made it around Nashville too. They went to the Hermitage with some friends...

Looks like they had a lot of fun! Mommy said she thought of me all the time she was gone even when she saw a dog's tail...

The dog's name was Katie Cat so maybe that's why. Anyway, I'm glad she's home and I know she's glad to be home too. She's super tired so I'll make sure she gets plenty of rest today and that I get plenty of treats!

Hope your week is off to a good start too!

Summer Smile

It's been rainy, dreary and cool so we've been doing a lot of napping lately.  Well, more than usual napping let's just say.  Anyway, despite the cooler temps, Mommy opens the windows during breaks in the rain because she thinks the fresh air will make us less sluggish.  

Mommy, what we really need is Summer...

Little did I know but we have Summer!  She's a dotee doll made by our friend BumbleVee in Canada.  I was so happy to see her I gave her a little kiss...

Summer was so surprised she fainted...

Maybe she's tired.  Okay, maybe it's me who's tired but I let her to join me in my favorite napping spot on the bed thisclose to Mommy's pillow...

Oh Summer, you're so cute! I just love you!

While I napped, Summer met Angel...

She also got to hang out with our husky doll named Sadie...

Thank you BumbleVee for sending us a little Summer!  She brought us some much needed sunshine and she put a smile on Mommy's face which we appreciate very much!  

We hope you have a smile on your face today too!

PeeS:  Summer was not injured in any way from her fainting incident or my show of affection.

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  It was rainy and icky here which is the perfect weather to snuggle with Mommy...

When we snuggled Saturday night, Mommy told me all about her day in Portland where Summer and her human were participating in a cat show.  Summer is only 11 months but she was very purrfessional while being judged and her human is looking on...

Isn't she adorable as her human is holding her...

Mommy petted Summer a lot and even got to give her a tummy rub!  She said Summer was a lovebug who rubbed her sweet face against Mommy's hand right away and let her put her fingers all over her.   Mommy didn't hold her because 1) she was afraid she'd muss up her furs and 2) she didn't trust herself to give her back!  Yep, Mommy was smitten with Summer and she enjoyed meeting her and visiting with her human but she still thinks I'm the cutest ever...

Of course she does.  How could she not?

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Have a snuggly kind of day!

Summer Lovin'

The Blogging Business Artisans challenge for July, chosen by Jenny from A Bird in the Hand Art, is to make anything summer related, love related or the movie Grease related.  Well, we really don't want Mommy to start singing the songs from Grease (she loves that movie much to the dismay of our ears) so I thought I'd help her come up with something summer and love related.  We've got the love part down...

I have a good idea for the summer part too but first I have to make her nervous by walking all over her project...

I also need to be held a bit...

Being held is my favorite part of projects and I can hang out on her shoulder for a really long time cause she scratches my back which feels oh so good...

Okay, now it's back to business.  Where were we?  Oh yeah, trying to finish this challenge and make it summer-y.  Wait, I need to tame some paper...

Voila!  Here's our finished challenge piece...

Thanks to me it's now the purrfect combination of summer related and love related with the addition of the quote -  A life without love is like a year without summer.  I'm just brilliant!  Plus I saved us from having to hear Mommy singing all the songs from Grease again! 

Hope you enjoy some Summer Lovin'!

Hanging Onto Summer...

Even though it's officially fall, our weather is finally nice enough again to open windows so even though my sisfur Isabella is snoozing away... I'm hanging on to summer the best I can!

Hope you are enjoying summer like weather today!

Ode to Summer...

Since Labor Day is coming up here in the U.S., the current EtsyBloggers blog carnival asks how we celebrate this 'official' end of summer and what it means to us. Well, this time of year is special because our mommy's birthday is August 28th and she's going to take off work the week between her birthday and Labor Day. Our mommy will be a squizillion more than 3 but here's a demonstration of how we'll celebrate this weekend...

Labor Day also signals the end of summer vacations which means less tourists on the beach!

And it means windows will be open more often as the temperature gets cooler...

It also means Daddy will be getting ready to go back to school too so we'll have to help him keep his straight As again...

So, we are sad that summer is almost over but we are looking forward to the things that this time of year brings.

What does Labor Day mean to you?
