Tabby Tuesday - Still Winter

Yes, it is still winter where we are, but a good one so far.  The outdoor rink across the street is great for skating, although we don't own skates and don't know of any kitties that do own skates.  We do quite well without them.

Last Friday, we got this snow cloud.  It arrived quickly and moved on just as quickly.

On Saturday morning, the sun came out and we woke up to this lovely winter scene in our backyard.

We love sunshine and sleep.  So here is Bono and Mike enjoying a few colourful rays!



Our beans went away on Sunday to visit our furcousin, Bradley, and his people too, of course.

Doesn't he look comfy?

On the way back home, our beans got a photo of a beautiful sunset!

We hope everyone is enjoying a good week, hopefully with nice sunbeams and sunsets, too!!

Saturday with Mindy

Mindy:   On Thursday, our mombean went out for the day because she needed to do some shopping.  However, her shopping included something for us!

This is a scratcher for cats and this model is called a Dream Curl.   We have had lots of card board scratchers but Moe destroys them in no time - he simply adores cardboard of any kind.  Loves to rip it into shreds and spread the pieces all over our place.

So far the new scratcher has passed the 'shred it' test!  Most of us have been ignoring this creation though. 

Sonbean uses it as a foot rest.  So it is useful.

I thought I would pose with it to keep mombean happy.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Tabby Tuesday

We had a lovely weekend. It was sunny and cold but beautiful.  On Friday we had snow which created a blanket of white over our landscape. This stayed until yesterday.

Today, however, it is pouring rain. The white blanket is gone. Mombean says there is no point in taking a photo and showing you our rain and fog. So - that means you will get a photo of me instead.   I insisted on it. 

Who wouldn't want to see me instead of all that drizzle?   Oh, sorry I got a bit tired while waiting for mom to get her camera.  Sorry, I didn't open my eyes.  Well, by now you know much I hate posing for dat flashy box.  Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Thankful Thursday

We are very thankful for all of our treasured friends.  We are thankful for many, many other things too - there is quite a big list.  However,  today we are thankful to our friends in far away Taiwan.  Yesterday we received mail from Adan, Lego and Michico wishing us a Happy Chinese New Year.  It starts on the 23rd of this month, which isn't far away.

It is the Year of the Dragon, so Michico created a lovely painting!  Take a look - Adan is on the left and Lego on the right of the mighty painted dragon.  We love this beautiful painting and we are very happy to receive a copy of it on this postcard.

Michico is very talented!  If you didn't see their Wednesday post , Michico and her friend Malica created a lovely handmade figurine.  We are thinking Lego was one of the models for the painted kitties.

We hope the Dragon Year will bring us all luck, good health and happiness!

 

Mancat Monday

Moe says: In honor of Mancat Monday, may I present my handsome self.

It's been busy here on account of mombean painting the ceiling in the L-part of the living room.  I just get comfortable in an easy chair with the sun streaming through the window onto me......then the next time I go to get into that comfy chair, it's gone!!  I don't mean forever, but in a different place, and not where I can soak up some sunshine.   Things get moved around because of the painting.  I hates this changing things around business.  I was almost ready to hide the paint brushes, when, thankfully, it was done.  Yeah, I'm so happy -' order' has returned and 'chaos' is gone! 

Mega purrs from me.

Special Wednesday!

It is our Auntie Bean's birthday today!! 

BonBon and Mike:  We send you purrs and headbutts!

Moe: I wish that your dreams come true!  (I hope my dreams come true, also, heh!)

Mindy:  I want to send you sunshine and roses!  I did get the sunshine part right, today it's beautiful!  I might need more help with the roses part.

Cookie:  I want to wish you the best birthday ever, and all that is good in the year ahead!

Mombean helped us make a birthday card for you, hope you like it!!

We loves you!

Tabby Tuesday

We're having a long winter's nap!

It has been an exhausting holiday season.  What a hard job it is to keep track of our 'beans' comings and goings - you have  to do this, or you might miss out on something good.    From where you see us - Bono and Mike - we can monitor the kitchen sounds and smells. We can usually get something yummy if we are being pesky in da kitchen and depending on who is there.

Our 'beans just got back from da grocery store and we checked all the bags.  Another exhausting job. 

Now, back to our naps.

Happy New Year - 2012!

To old friends, new friends and soon-to-be friends............

.........we want to wish everyone all the very best for the year 2012.

  

 May this be the best year yet!

Happiness

We had ourselves a great Christmas Day! Santypaws left treats for everyone.

Mike: I had so much fun unwrapping presents.

After that, our very favorite time, Christmas dinner with TURKEY!  This made all of us happy!

Mike:   Tallson gave me some scritchees.......I love having attention, in fact I would like to have ALL the attention!  This makes me happy.

Moe:  My version of happiness is having some turkey, then stretching out on the clothes dryer when it is running - it is SO warm!!

 

Bono:  While Moe is snoozing, I'm watching the washer drain.  I don't know why, but I find rushing water so much fun to watch - it makes me happy!

 

Our hope is that everyone had a happy Christmas and was able to share it with their loved ones.

Happy Birthday to TallSon

Our mombean and dadbean's younger son, the one we call TallSon has a birthday today!  He was born on the 21st, the Winter Solstice, 26 yrs. ago. 


Happy Birthday, TallSon!!   Even though you don't live here anymore, I -  Moe  - remembers when you encouraged mombean to adopt me exactly 10 years ago.  I was the first cat in the family.  Then my sisfur, Mindy, came to live here too.  We miss you, but we are glad you are happy and doing well.

TallSon is finishing up courses in digital animation, here is his demo reel:
