International Box Day!

One of the bestest day of the year is Box Day! We're going to celebrate all kinds of boxes today! We love flat boxes...

Small boxes...

Short boxes...

Full boxes...

Pizza boxes...

And memories of boxing with our angel sisfur Sadie...

With so many great boxes, we think we should celebrate a Box Year! Do you agree?

Hope you have a box-y day!

Wordless Wednesday

Your Tortie-licious BatCat,

Tortie Tuesday

Imagine my surprise when I went downstairs and found two boxes destined for the recycle bin...

I have a much better idea. I'm going to recycle them into a Tortie bed...

Mommy doesn't agree. She's a spoilsport.

Hope your Tortie Tuesday is filled with whatever you enjoy!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend! We had a busy weekend. Mommy was finally feeling better and actually was able to get outside for a bit. She hadn't seen the garden in over a week...

Although she was better, Daddy came down with the bug so we had to keep our nurses' hats on. We took turns holding him down and helping Mommy with beady goodies. It may not look like it, but I'm working hard...

We had nice weather which always helps with the reception for Birdie TV. Do you see the little chickadee in the bush? Talk about reality TV!

What did you do this weekend?

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Finally Friday

Well, it's been a long week of us taking care of Mommy since LAST Friday when she got the flu. Good news is she's finally getting better although she sounds like a crotchety old man when she talks. It startles us every time she talks! Anyway, we've even worked on taxes a few hours a day since Wednesday and we made some earrings that we got a custom request for last Thursday. The bad news is somemommy hasn't taken any pictures of us. Okay, that's not quite true and since we don't have any alternatives at the moment, we're going to show you her view of us taking a bath. We won't get into the privacy issues nor the poor quality of the photos here on the blog but trust us, we will take it up with her!

Despite the lousy photos, we're still very cute don't you think?

We hope to be back up to par by Monday. In the meantime, hope you have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Good Morning Sunshine!

We've been having the hots this week which means windows close up early. I savor my morning whiffs as the sun comes up...

Nothing better than cool morning air to get the day started right. After breakfast of course!

Do you enjoy fresh air whiffs in your neck of the woods?

Hope you enjoy a sunny day!

Tortie Tuesday

Since I'm a purrfessional relaxer, it's been my job to make sure Mommy relaxes in order to feel better. Sure, my little sisfur watches over her too but now that Mommy is at the incredibly annoying coughing stage, I had to take over. I'm the only one who can handle the noise and bed shaking that goes on when she has a coughing fit...

Oooo, that was a bad one Mommy. Are you okay?

Don't worry, I'm watching over you...

What do you mean it's hard to breathe with me on you?

Sheesh. You'd think I'd be appreciated a little bit more. Nursing a loud, whiny Mommy is a tough job but someTortie's got to do it!

Hope you're appreciated today!

Isabella

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a good weekend! Our's was a big bust because Mommy came down with the flu. Yep, the flu. In June. Who does that? Other than a 2.5 hour trip to Urgent care yesterday, she was in bed all day, every day. We are good nurses and kept our eyes on her...

We're going to hold her down today too so she gets better soon. It's a tough job being nurses but somekitties got to do it!

By the way, did you notice that our blog is looking new and spiffy? We owe it all to Oz the Terrier's mom Gina! She's changed our blog into one that Mommy can more easily work on since the other one was custom and required html changes which was totally impossible for Mommy.  Mommy still needs to tweak a couple of things when she's feeling better but we're extremely grateful for Oz's mom for everything she's done to update our look! Thank you Gina! We love it!

We hope you have a great start to your week!

Angel

Finally Friday

We're glad it's Friday! For one thing, we're off work today so maybe now we'll finally get our loot from BlogPaws. Plus, it's the start of a sunpuddle filled weekend so I've already staked out my position...

Yep, it's going to be a wonderful weekend!

Hope it's a lovely weekend in your neck of the woods too!

Angel

Break Time!

I'm a hard worker but I also know the importance of taking breaks...

Especially ones that involve scritches. Just sayin. 

Mommy pretends to be annoyed when I demand break time but she can't resist me. I have her wrapped around my floofy paw! 

Hope you enjoy plenty of breaks today!

Angel

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday! My favorite day of the week! Yesterday my little sisfur made it seem like she's the only one glad Mommy is home but I'm glad too. I even helped hold down the box with wheels so she couldn't leave again...

Because of Mommy whining about being tired us holding the box with wheels down so long, we haven't got our loot that's inside it yet. Well, we did get one thing Mommy won at BlogPaws but I can't figure out what the heck it is...

We'll eventually get our loot so I'm not too worried about it. In the mean time, I'm enjoying having Mommy home...

I'd enjoy it even more if she'd rub my tummy! Just sayin.

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

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!

Finally Friday

We're glad it's Friday! We've been enjoying extra Daddy time this week while Mommy is at BlogPaws in Nashville. Since she's gone, we're going to show you some outtakes we have from the squizillions of pictures she takes of us.  She takes pictures that she thinks are cute yet may not be very flattering like this...

Sometimes we have no idea why she takes a picture...

One day we let her sleep in but when she woke up, this is what she saw...

Why would she take a picture of a beady helper when there's bad lighting? Because she thinks I look angelic...

This was early one morning when she first came downstairs and she thought it was so peaceful. There were no sounds except for the birdies outside...

Daddy doesn't take pictures of us thank Cod. We're going to enjoy a camera free, relaxing weekend although we do miss Mommy.  She'll be home soon though!

We hope you have a great Friday and a relaxing weekend too!

Sneak Attack!

Our friends Leasa and Tuxi sent us a toy that has fevvers and even chirps like a birdie.  I was a little suspicious at first...

Isabella didn't know what to think about it either...

I played it cool in order to keep the element of surprise...

Then I made my move...

It didn't stand a chance!  I deaded it! *proud*

Thank you for the birdie toy Leasa and Tuxi!  We love it!

Hope you enjoy your day!

Angel

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and I just want to play...

And play...

And rest...

It's nice to just enjoy my day all by myself!

Hope you enjoy your day too!

Thoughts on Memorial Day

Today our thoughts are with the men and women who have fought and died for our country. We are grateful for their service and our freedom. We're also thinking of our friends and loved ones we have lost.

We hope you have a lovely and safe Memorial Day!

Memorial Day Weekend Eve

We're so glad it's finally Friday especially since it's a long, holiday weekend!  Since Memorial Day is on Monday, we're going to flashback to the last Memorial Day weekend stroll with our sisfur Sadie in 2012.  This was soon after she was recovering from a surgery so she was very happy to go out on a stroll.  We hope you enjoy seeing her beautiful smile on this particular weekend!

***********************************************

Yay it's Sadieday!  I got my stitches out last week but my neck is still itchy (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) so let's go on a stroll where I can trust Mommy off leash.  Are you ready?  Leash up your beans if necessary and let's go!

There's a shadow Monster chasing me!  RUN!

It wasn't a Monster, it was just my Mommy.  Ha roo roo!

The trail is a little rough so I won't go so fast.  Mommy is a tad clumsy so I don't want her to fall like she's been known to do...

Even at a slow pace, it's fun to take a stroll on a Sadieday!

I hope you can take a stroll on smooth trails in your neck of the woods today!

We hope she gave you a big smile that lasts all weekend long!  Be sure to spread that smile to others since you never know who's day you'll change with a smile!  

Hope you have a Happy holiday weekend too!

Happiness

Thank you for opening the window for me Mommy...

It makes me very happy...

When you're happy, I'm happy Angel.
~Mommy

Hope you enjoy some happy today too!

Angel

Tortie Tuesday

You just missed me doing something awesome!  I killed these fevvers but I have to cover them up so my little sisfur doesn't see they're deaded...

She'll never know they're here...

Must you be everywhere Angel?  Sheesh!

Time for reissue #4,363 of the Tortie on Tuesday only memo!

Hope you don't have to share your catch today!
