Holiday Cheer

Hope you’re having THIS much fun this holiday season!

The Fluffy One’s always been a fan of sticks. Other cats can have the ribbons and feathers and squeaky chirpy things, he knows where the action’s at. This week his sweet nephew discovered the magic of sticks and was hooked. I said, “What have I done?” a few times as I searched for a placeContinue reading “Sticking Around”

A Tiny Tree Appears!

Fingers crossed he doesn’t eat the things.

Fourteen O’Clock!

1. The Puppy is bustin' stuff up to get me to go walkies. She's standing on some pens, some drawings, and my shoe with my foot still in it. "Oh hey, it's fourteen o'clock and time to rock!" The Puppy yells happily. "My foot!" I yell. 2. The Puppy stands on the street wearing her coat, staring. A caption reads: "3 hours later." "No one I know is out here to wish me happy birthdays," the Puppy says. 3. The Puppy is lounging on the floor with the cats. In front of her are three bare plates. Off to the side is a bowl full of food. "...then what did you do?" Babycat asks, fascinated. "Oh, you know, I went up the hill, and across the street, and then I totally came home," the Puppy says, wagging her tail. "But doggie," The Kitten asks, looking up at her, "How come you eat cat food when you have your own food?" The Fluffy One tells him, "Eh, it is the way the sister has always done it."

Aww, Puppy, happy fourteen o’clock! I love you, tan tornado. Baby Yoda totally stole your look. And you totally stole my heart. And the dictionary. And Mum’s glasses and Nan’s audiobooks. I’m so glad you like cats. I guess it helps that you met the best cats ever when you were all the same size.Continue reading “Fourteen O’Clock!”

Gonna Finish That?

He’s a doll, no one minds sharing with him. Really. No, really, he and Uncle Fluff will eat out of my hand TOGETHER. 😻 “Sharing is caring,” is totally Uncle’s advice, he even borrowed that from him. Exhibit A Exhibit B

Time I Grew an Extra Arm or Two!

It’s a fair question.

Happy Thanksgiving!

From all of us to all of you, raising a bit of whatever creamy whip you prefer for absent friends. As always, thanks for reading!

Medical Advice

How does this fit into Thanksgiving? I am thankful for steroids, y’all. (BTW I didn’t write The Kitten’s line, my Poppy said something like that to my Nan and they got married on this date and had darn near 30 awesome years together. 🥂)

4 Out of 5 Ain’t Bad!

Survey says neck skritchies are awesome, but I don’t advise allowing anyone to scratch your throat with a fork or any other sharp device, that is assault. Keep clawing!

Bowls and Balls.

They need a camera on them at all times to catch the epic ball hunting moves.

Kitten Goals

The Spider is playing with the Kitten, because how can you not? "Hey little baby, what are you thankful for?" He asks. The Kitten, pouncing on a toy mouse, surrounded by toys, says, "I get to stay with my mom, and I get to play with all my uncle's toys, and there's treats everywhere I go. I even have a dog! I can't believe I got a doggie. I asked my mommy, 'Mom, did you ever think you would have a dog?' and she said no, she can't believe anything that has happened."

Someone is turning six months old over the weekend and he just keeps getting handsomer and more huggable!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Well, my hands have fallen off from making this, so have a Happy Halloween and be careful crossing the streets. I wouldn’t want to have to bury you, you know.

They Are A Fantastic Four….

Yes, really. Play safe in outer space, kids!

Hold On To Your Potatoes!

In a spoof of Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom, The Fluffy One is clawing at the back door of the house, hat on head, whip on belt. "Letting me in! Open the door!" he calls. On the other side of the door, Babycat, wearing a blonde wig, and The Kitten, wearing a 1928 NY Giants cap, are calling, "Open the door! Let us out!" The Kitten adds, "Doctor Uncle! Let us out, I wanna go on adventures with you!" There are bugs everywhere.

I know, I know, ant season is almost over. This is where 16 years of going outties with The Fluffy One and his bro bite me in the ass, because every day and every night, Team Tiger is like, “That’s a great idea, let us join you!” and they don’t like wearing collars, or harnesses,Continue reading “Hold On To Your Potatoes!”

Seven Brides for One Brother

Basically I’m just doing these to amuse myself now. I know most of them could defeat me in a dance battle, even if I am good at building things.
