Friday Chill Out

 

Mike

I know how to chill out because I have the best chair which is close to whatever goes on.  Our super cold weather is milder today.  In fact we have rain just now.  That won't last long, because our weatherman, Kalin, has promised us that everything is going to freeze later today.  Glad I have this cozy chair and no worries about changing weather.

 

 

Cookie

There is a skylight in this room and I can hear the ping of rain switching to freezing rain!  The wind is high too.  Glad I am an indoor cat, I can 'chill out' and not worry about weather.

 

 

Moe



I just looked out the window into the yard.  I saw mombean putting lots of bird seed into our birdfeeder.  Not many birds to watch, they are sheltering in our trees.  Glad I am inside and not out there in the chilly rain.


Mindy

What happened to the sunshine we had yesterday?  Today I can hear rain on our windows however we still have our electric power on, unlike other places nearby.  I am going to spend the day on this bed and tune out the windy an rainy noises.  This is my idea of "chillin' out"


We hope our visitors are finding ways to 'chill out' too, wherever you may be.

Happy New Year 2015

We hope 2015 will be an awesome year for everyone!!

Mindy and Mike

We have not been around for a while due to supervising our humans through the holiday season.   We hope that everyone had a peaceful, or at least an enjoyable time throughout Christmas and the events to welcome in the New Year 2015.

All that snoopervising is exhausting, but at the same time very important, too.  What would our humans do without us?  When they had to be away from home, which was often, we made sure everything was purrfect for their return.

Our auntie and uncle beans finally got away from the freezing rain storm just in time.  By now they are in South Carolina.  We almost stowed away in their van, but we realized that we are needed here at home.  

Cookie

I really find the winter months a bit chilly for my old bones.  If you notice the electric cord (coming out of my head!) ...it is connected to a heating pad.  I must say that lovely heat is just the thing for me!  I have several layers of towel on top of the pad, and it is just the right amount of that lovely heat.  It will be especially wonderful, because tonight our weatherman, Kalin, says that sometime tonight the temperature will drop to -15C.  You know, I am glad that I am an indoor cat, with my own room.  I get lots of company though, because this is also the bathroom.

Moe

Here I am - it is me, Moe.  I am in the upstairs hallway on the mat.  This is 'the' best spot, more or less in the exact center of the house.  The exact center means nothing escapes me.  Yes, yes in the photo I have my eyes closed - however - my ears are 'on'.  So, my ears are....hearing all, every tiny sound, especially from the kitchen.

Being in the middle of everything requires that I take occasional 'cat' naps....know this, nothing escapes my attention, especially if it is related to food, or a visit to our deck from the kitty that lives a few houses away.  When that happens, I go into action and deliver my best growls and hisses.  This works, eventually.

We hope everyone has a healthy and happy year in 2015!! 

Monday, Stormy Weather

Mindy and Mike

It is raining hard and our dadbean says there are over 3,000 homes in our area without electric power because of the wind.

We are warm and dry and still have the power on.   We found the perfect place to be during the storm.

Cookie

I am cozy and warm and I have my snack close by.  My appetite is not what it was in the past.  My meds are mixed with canned stinky goodness which I usually eat all up.  I have actually put on some weight, and this makes my humans and the vet quite happy.  

I am happy with my own room, bed, litter box, snacks - all the comforts, of course!  OK, now back to snoozing.

Moe

 Rain, rain go away - and that goes for the wind too!  I can hardly get any rest.  Perhaps I should ask for an early supper tonight.  When you can't sleep, you can always eat and I love to eat.

Here is a photo of the stray kitty taken the other day in our neighbourhood.  Mom wasn't quick enough to get a photo of her coming down the slide!

  We have just heard that she has been adopted by our close neighbour a few houses away from ours.  Her original owner has never asked where she is or tried to find her.  We are glad she has a better home now with her new people.

We hope everyone's Monday is going better than ours!

We thought we would add a couple of bonus photos:

Here is our dadbean taking a photo from his brother's condo on the top floor of the building.  The building is pet friendly, because dad met a dog in the hallway.  We are guessing there must be some kitties there too.

Here is a photo that our dadbean took from the balcony.

It is a photo of the our city taken at night.  In the background you may be able to see a suspension bridge over the harbour. 

Now, back to storm watching - or not! 

Wordless Wednesday

No words, just us.

However we can purr loud!

Are you able to hear us?

Cookie:

Did you know that we have islands in our harbour?

This one is called Georges Island

 

It has a lighthouse and a fort and not much else.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Remembrance Day and Meeting Oscar

Our humans attended Remembrance Day Service this morning.  It was a beautiful day and many, many people were in attendance.

After this service, our mom, dad and aunti bean, went to visit a new kitten in the family.

His name is Oscar and he belongs to mombean and dadbean's son and girlfriend.  They told us that Oscar is very playful at 9 weeks and extremely cute!

We would like to teach him "the ropes" about how to properly train his humans, but he doesn't live close enough.

It's Caterday

Cookie:

A very sunny, pleasant November day.  As you can see by my expression I am not happy.  My paws needed cleaning (according to someone) and I got put in the bathtub with a couple of inches of water. 

Mike:

I am taking a snooze, but my ears are alert - you need to be alert in case something exciting, like a possible snack, might be had.

Mindy:

I get to have the cat tree all to myself.   I might catch up on some beauty rest.

Moe:

Oh, that looks tasty!  Are you going to share?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

PS. here is a photo taken last night of our road at sunset.

Dona nobis pacem

Tabby Thursday

Moe:

I am trying to figure out how to get into this room.  If I am patient, sooner or later it will be open!

Mindy:

I am getting my beauty rest.  Can't have enough rest or beauty!!

Mike:

I am on call.   Is anybody going to call me?  Calling me to come to dinner would be great!

Cookie:

I had to go to the vet on Tuesday.  My eye was watery and starting to develop infection.  The vet put some stain in my eye to check for an ulcer.  I am now getting an anti virus med and a lubricant and had my eye washed with a solution.   I was very good about it, I am proud to say and let the vet examine me.  I came home with two different meds for my eye.  I get one treatment, then in 15 minutes I get the other one.   Things have not got worse, but I hope there is an improvement soon.   

Happy Thursday everyone!

PS - it has come to our attention that this is National Feral Cat Day - October 16th!

We usually support Pierres AlleyCats Society

Humph Wednesday!

  

Moe:

We are being abandoned, yet again.  Our humans are going to visit our Uncle Bean.  This means an overnight visit.  Our very nice lady next door will be our 'food lady'......thank heavens.  This means we will not have to worry when our next meal is coming.

Mindy:

I like our neighbour lady.  Even though I usually hide when people come into the house, she is the exception.  Plus I like it, when she fusses over me.  However, I do want our humans to return home as soon as possible.

Cookie:

I like meals on time.   I sure hope food lady knows my schedule and how to fix the soft food the way I like it.  Yes, I know there are meds mixed in but I really like that stinky goodness.  

Mike:

I am so glad we won't have to worry about meals.  However, I sure hope our substitute food person will give me some proper adoration and attention.  That is almost as important as food.  Time will tell.

Happy Wednesday everyone, hope you get as much food and attention as you need and want!

++++++++

Oh yes,  Mombean says thanks for the birthday wishes she got on Monday from some of you.    

She got this birthday gift, but it is no good because it is not edible.  It has possibilities as a rolling toy though!

September 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Ahoy Ye Swabs!

It be the day to talk like a pirate.

Moe:

Fair winds to speed you!
