Window Cats



This is the common thing to see at our to house now. The kitties LOVE sitting in the windows. I put old towels in there for them lay on and they seem to like it. The above picture shows Phoebe standing on a basket (with a blanket on it of course!) only because Fatty would not share the window. This window at the end of our hallway is probably one of the hottest spots in the house for them to sit. However, they were glued to the front windows the other morning when Mr. Squirrel paid them a visit on the front porch roof.

I think Phoebe found a leaf to watch....


This is Ellie's new "senior picture." I believe she is thinking about food...

Sorry!

It's been a while since I have updated this blog, but the cats are still here and they are as fat and meowy as ever!

Back in May, Ellie, who I started calling Liza My-Ellie, was taken to the vet to see why she was so, um, fat. She is 12.9 pounds and I had to make sure that she wasn't sick or anything. Well, $130 later, we found out that she is healthy, but apparently likes to eat.

The vet trips are not so bad with Ellie. For once, I have a cat who actually likes car rides. (and I am very excited about that!!!) I place her in the front seat, she looks around for a while and then heads to the backseat to sit and enjoy the ride.

Here she is...all proud in the backseat! And, she doesn't even make a noise unlike the other spaz I have at home who sounds as if she is being tortured in the car!


Of course, after the vet visit, Ellie hasn't been eating quite as much. (go figure) I figured she isn't as bored as before since we now let the cats sit in the open windows and watch the "wildlife" outside. And, to ensure that they are comfortable and that I am crazy, they lay on a folded towel that I place in the window.


Here is a picture taken this past weekend of the kitties sitting on a table in the dining room. I believe they are sunbathing. This was after someone, who I will not name but she is black and white and has a little head, begged for breakfast. I wasn't sure if she would like Cocoa Puffs, but apparently she does.


I had to push Fatty over so that Little Head could actually sit up there with her.

Aren't they the cutest???
