Saturday With Team Tabby


Here we are in our usual places and positions for a winter Saturday in February.

  Mindy
 We have had some lovely winter days lately.  I watched the squirrels and birds at our feeder - a lot.   However, here I am taking a break and getting mom to do the typing on our blog.

 
 Moe
 I am upstairs on the sofa at the end of our hallway, it is sunny here and I can keep track of all that goes on.  Exhausting job you know.


Cookie
I have a fresh pink towel to snooze on.  I did not choose this colour, but it suits me well I think.    Night before last, our local hydro power plant had some sort of problem, a 'breaker' which broke - guess it wasn't supposed to do that.  We were in the dark and no heat from midnight until the sun came up. I slept through it all.


Mike
 I spent that night on 'our' bed with mombean and dadbean.  We all slept through the power out - didn't need electricity at night anyway, speaking for myself that is, I can get around in the dark.


It may be winter but we have a pretty plant that came from our local grocery store,  they don't have just groceries.  Lots of flowers (and cat treats, too) are to be found.

 Here it is, in a high spot, out of reaching by my paw and teeth.  No fun to be had with those purty (no teeth marks) blooms.

We wish our visitors a great weekend!

Our First Post in 2016



It has been quite a while since our last blog post.  We tried hard to fix our old computer, and at times, we almost (not quite) succeeded.  Therefore, now we have a new computer, operating system, software even a new mouse - it's not a 'real' mouse.

Everyone is well and happy, even the ones who are a bit crabby sometimes.  Got lots of snow right now.

This poor bush, loaded with snow, but hang in there because next week it is supposed to rain - we'll see.

Moe
Remember me, I am the orange guy.  I have put on a little winter weight.  It could be because I love to eat, and am very good at seeking treats - I did score some really good tidbit over Christmas.


 Mindy
 My favorite spot on a comfortable bed - it's mine you know, all mine, but I will share it.

Cookie
I have my own room!  I also am willing to share.   However, their are limits, especially to certain housemates that want to raid my food dishes.


Mike
 Speaking of special things, I have adopted that really comfortable office chair near the computer.  I need to put in my two cents worth, making sure today's blog gets posted.

It is near to Valentines Day so we got something kinda pretty to celebrate.
 It it not very tasty, in fact we are not allowed to taste it!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend - in fact our weekend is what as known as a L-O-N-G weekend, because Monday is "Family Day" and a holiday .... we think it should be Cat's Day, our humble suggestion. 

Purrs from all of us!

Wintry Tabby Tuesday

We are still getting lots of storms, everything was shut down on Sunday.  However, our 'beans were able to get out and celebrate dadbean's birthday on Saturday.   Happy Birthday to you 'dad'!!
 
While our mombean was away at grandbean's recently, she took some photos of the bird "TV" that our grandbean can see from her window.
 

This is a male cardinal
 
Mike:  We do not get these (licking my chops) ) birds coming to our bird feeder at all.
 
Mindy:
I will show you the female cardinal. 
I think her bright orange beak is very 'girly' 
 
 Moe:
 
I will show you the landscape at granbean's.   Early one morning, our mombean took this photo - there was no wind to disturb the snow piled up on these branches.....I was safe at home enjoying this sunpuddle! 
 
 
Cookie:
Guess who is back on our doorstep?
 
 Yep, stray kitty is back, eating our food!
 We have lots right now, so we can share it, I guess.  Our mombean does not think this kitty is a stray, but certainly neglected.  It followed her and our next door neighbour when they went for a walk around the block - a 3 kilometer trek!  Mom thought it deserved a snack.  I for one would not want to wander the neighborhood in this weather!
