Birdies Don't Have Tails!

We hope you had a nice holiday weekend! We had a quiet, relaxing time off enjoying our time together. After a few days of togetherness, I turned on the Birdie Network to get my TV fix but I clearly got a wrong channel...

Either that or birdies now have tails!

We both enjoyed watching the critter stuff its face with sunflower seeds...

Apparently it was watching us too...

Until the new neighbor cat came running over and interrupted the service...

Then the introoder cat gave us the evil eye until Mommy scared he/she off.

That cat has been hanging out in our yard which apparently is going to cause us poor signal reception. *sigh*

How was your holiday and weekend?

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want to wish Happy Thanksgiving to our friends here in the U.S. and say how thankful we are for our friends throughout the world!

We have many things to be thankful for this year including...

A loving, furever home

Our good health

Sunpuddles

Snuggle buddies

Lots of toys to play with

Lots of comfy spots to nap

I could go on and on but it's time to bring on the turkey...

That's not quite what I had in mind.

Hope your home is filled with happiness, your heart if filled with love and your tummy is filled with yummy goodies!

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

Isabella, Angel and our Mommy

Weekend Wrap Up

We're glad it's a holiday week because our weekend was too short. We didn't even have Friday night movie night until Saturday night...

Yesterday we got our blood test results from the home vet visit last Wednesday. She said our chemistry panels, thyroid and blood cell count results are all normal. She said we look great and are healthy! Of course we knew everything would be perfect but somemommy is a worry wart so she's relieved. 

That was pretty much all our weekend excitement. Anything exciting happen in your neck of the woods?

Happy Monday!

House Call Vet. Who Knew!

We knew something was up when Mommy was stressed out all day long and then Daddy came home early from work. They're pretty easy to read. Anyway, sure enough a vet came to our house yesterday afternoon for our check ups and senior blood panel work. Daddy took me upstairs until Mommy said everything was ready. I certainly wasn't ready!

I found myself on our own kitchen counter with the vet and her tech! They tried buttering me up by telling me how beautiful my eyes and furs are and how soft I am. I kinda fell for it and didn't try to escape too much. Then I found myself on my side with the vet whispering in my ear while the tech stole my furs and then my bloods from my back leg...

I finally was released and ran downstairs to my safe spot while it was Isabella's turn. Of course she loved the attention...

I heard she squirmed and squeaked more than I did though. She's had more experience with vets than me so she knew what to expect. She's the reason we had a vet come to our house - she gets very car sick. Our old vet moved to a practice in a neighboring town and even though it's 10 miles away, that's 9.95 miles more than Isabella can handle. Anyway, we both checked out to be very healthy although one of us is a little too, uh, not svelte. Hopefully our bloods are healthy too. We'll find that out in a couple of days. *paws crossed*

Hope you have a good day!

Mommy here: I was worried that having a vet in the house would traumatize the cats, especially Angel. She did very well during the exam and came out from hiding just as soon as the vet was gone. Isabella is always fine although she really didn't like to be held down to have her leg shaved and blood taken. It's probably because she's had that done quite a bit because of all her dental work due to stomatitis.  The house call fee was just $26 which is totally worth it not to have Isabella get car sick. The exam and lab fees were similar to a traditional vet fee so we're glad to have this option. If it's an option in your area, I would recommend it! Much less stress on the cats and on us!

Better Than a Cup of Tea...

A box full of me!

Fits me to a 'T' too!

I know, I know but it made me smile and I need it. Rumor has it a vet is coming to our house today to try to steal our bloods! They have to catch me first!

Has a vet ever came to your house for your check up?

Hope you have a purrfect kind of day!

Tortie Tuesday

I'm known for being a mellow and pretty positive Tortie but lately I'm beginning to wonder if halibut is about to freeze over. For one, Mommy has been cleaning house and we're not expecting guests for a whole week! Secondly, I went downstairs and she had two Christmas gifts to wrap! Two! I couldn't hide my shock...

She may look like my mommy but cleaning the house more than 2 hours before guests arrive and Christmas presents bought before Thanksgiving has me beside myself...

She even cleaned the dirty mirror right after that photo was taken! Who is this lady and what'd she do with my mommy? 

Things may not be normal around here but it is Tortie Tuesday so I'm going to focus on my normal and take a long nap. That'll help. 

Hope all is right in your world this Tortie Tuesday!

Monday Makeover

It's already mid-November and somemommy is on a mission to cross to-do things off her list before the end of the year (i.e. the start of tax season). One thing crossed off was replacing the foam and fabric on our Birdie perch...

It's much cleaner and nicer than the old stuff but the stripes kinda make me dizzy...

Angel, how is it for watching birdies?

Oh yeah, let me check Bella...

It's comfy and pretty purrfect for long hours of watching Birdie TV...

Quality control approves of this makeover...

I hear her to-do list involves relaxation in order to avoid her usual stressed holiday season. I'm pretty sure I'll approve of that too.

Do you have a year end to-do list too?

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Beauty of Fall

Fall is the time of year when the beauty outside...

Is almost as beautiful as inside...

Also the naked trees makes it a whole lot easier to watch birdies!

Hope you have a happy day!

Angel

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and it's also election day here in the U.S....

Wake me when it's all over...

We'll be glad when this election is over. Somemommy has been stressed for awhile now. Purr therapy has helped but we're hoping that however things turn out today, our country comes together and we can put this all behind us. More love and treats, less bickering and bullying!

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Weekend Wrap Up

The sun came out yesterday so I enjoyed relaxing in a sunpuddle with my buddy, BatCat...

Mommy thinks my buddy looks like a llama...

Whatever. She's weird.

Did you have a sunpuddle filled weekend?

Hope you enjoy your day!

It's Our 10th Gotcha Day!

Back on November 3, 2006, my sisfur Isabella and I were Gotcha'd by Mommy and Daddy and brought to our furever home! Isabella was almost 10 months old and I was a tiny 3 month old kitten...

Our angel sisfur Sadie didn't know what to think about us...

But she and I eventually became buddies...

Isabella has been my buddy from day one...

We're both happy we were Gotcha'd 10 years ago into our furever home with our mommy and daddy! We're very lucky kitties...

We're also grateful to have such wonderful blog furiends around the world! 

Thanks for visiting us today and we hope you have a great day!

All is Well, Again.

Everything is right in our world again now that Mommy is home from Las Vegas. She had fun with Grandma from Vegas and enjoyed spending time with GJ's mum and dad and JB's mom/the carrot lady from TX. She was unable to see the Katnip Lounge mom due to work but hopefully next time. Our Aunt Dolly seemed to enjoy Mommy's visit...

It could've been from all the scritches...

We hear she's so spoilt she's rotten! So glad we're not! Well, we're not. Anyway, I have a brilliant plan to make sure Mommy stays home...

Or at least it assures I get to go with her...

Let's hope it works!

Hope your November is off to a great start!

Angel

Happy Halloween!

BOO!

Did I scare ya with my spooky Tortie look? :)

My little sisfur hates this day but one good thing about it is that Mommy is coming home! Hopefully she brings us treats and not tricks!

Hope you get lots of treats today too!
Happy Halloween!

Isabella

Snuggle Buddies

The best thing about having a sisfur is being her snuggle buddy...

Especially on cold, dreary, rainy days when somemommy is gone. Again. Yep, she's on yet another trip so we'll be sharing prime lap space on Daddy this weekend. Mommy is in Las Vegas visiting our Grandma from Vegas, the Katnip Lounge mommy, angel GJ's mum and dad from the U.K. and a cat mom/carrot lady from Texas. She'll be home Monday so we'll enjoy our time with Daddy until then!

Hope you have a snuggly weekend!

Weekend Wrap Up

We kicked off a relaxing and partly sunpuddle filled weekend with Friday night movie night...

Also known as 'Watch me and squee' night. Somemommy has no idea what movie was on because I'm so cute she can hardly stand it. Just sayin.

How was your weekend?

Hope your Monday is a good one!

Angel

All is Well Again!

Mommy finally got home from Colorado last night. We were very excited but acted nonchalant so she wouldn't know how much we missed her...

We're pretty sure she had no clue. Anyway, we know she missed us but she did have a good time with her friend. They went to Estes Park and saw beautiful mountain views...

And lots of elk including this big buck outside the condo yesterday morning...

Even though she didn't bring anything back for us, we're glad she's home for movie night tonight. I may even let her sleep in tomorrow too! 

How has your week been?

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Weekend Wrap Up

Here's a glimpse of what our rainy, windy, football filled weekend looked like...

It was a fun weekend hanging with Daddy. Even though he's stingy with the treats and he's nearly impossible to wake up in the mornings, I love my Daddy very much. Three more sleeps until Mommy comes home though!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!

Angel

Finally Friday

The best way to celebrate the end of a long week is to let your feets dangle...

Okay, this photo was from earlier this week but it was a long week by Tuesday from taking care of somemommy who was sick. Today it's rainy, windy and cold. Tomorrow Mommy is leaving on yet another trip - yes, it's her squizzillionth trip this year. *sigh* That's okay, we'll be hanging out with our Daddy so we got the better end of that deal!

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Hope you have a great weekend!

Angel and Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

No matter the distractions, my Tortieness shines through...

If we see beautiful in everything, imagine how much better our world would be. 

Wishing you a peaceful, happy Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

PeeS: Thanks for the well wishes for Mommy yesterday. She feels better today after we held her down all day long.

Weekend Wrap Up

The sun and warmer temperatures returned this weekend allowing for open windows. It's the perfect spot to watch the falling leaves...

When I wasn't watching leaves fall, I was holding Mommy down because she's got a cold. She's pretty whiny and cranky but Isabella and I are doing our best to help her feel better. It's a tough job but somekitties got to do it!

Are the leaves falling in your neck of the woods?

Hope you had a great weekend!

Angel

Finally Friday

We had one of those weeks that we wish had been different. The hurricane in Florida has us worried about our friends there. It was rainy, cold and dreary here all week which meant no open windows. The weather change gave Mommy a headache most days. Work was busy because of the beginning of the month stuff to do plus the 10/15 tax deadline stuff to do. But the very worst of all was our friend Ciara from The OP Pack in Kansas went to the Bridge yesterday. Our hearts are heavy and we're just not in the mood to do much of anything today...

It's so very hard when we lose our friends but it does remind us to appreciate each other every day. We know the sun and our smiles will return but until then, we're going to snuggle and enjoy our weekend together. 

Our thoughts and purrs are with those in Florida and along the east coast and also with Ciara's mom, dad and brother Lightning.

Hope you know you're appreciated!

Wordless Wednesday - What's Up?

Tortie Tuesday

Some days you just gotta let it all hang out...

I know you're wondering so yes, I'd love to have my belly rubbed! It's one of my most favorite things in the world besides napping.

Do you enjoy belly rubs too?

Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Return of the Fuzzy Socks...

The weekend not only brought October but also the rain, cooler temperatures and somemommy's fuzzy socks. When I wasn't laying on the hot air thingy on the floor, I was sitting on Mommy's lap...

That's pretty much all I did all weekend. Oh wait, I snoopervised the making of some beady goodies and also chased a fly. Guess it was a productive weekend after all!

Has Fall made an appearance in your neck of the woods?

Hope your week is off to a good start!
