Meowy Christmas!

This picture has nothing to do with our cats, but it is a picture of our first Christmas tree! Isn't it pretty?

The stockings were hung on the railing with care...with Phoebe in the background.

Notice the two small stockings...meow meow!

The kitties had a little visit from Uncle Dick this past weekend. Yes, he brought them some gifts that their Wauconda friends, Kitty Cat and Sweetie Pie, had bought them. As you can see below, the cats seemed to have enjoyed the bows and tissue paper as well!

Ellie laid in this tissue paper for quite a while. I'd say she took about a 1/2 hour nap all wrapped up. I left a piece of tissue on the floor all week and she really liked it. Strange.

Ooh, the Attack Cat! Go Phoebe! Kill that bow!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Oh Chirstmas tree...

and big fat cat!

Here is Ellie posing 'Kirstie Alley' style in front of our first Christmas tree (awe...we're married!). Well, maybe she isn't posing, but rather laying wherever her tubby body landed. (Side note from previous post: she is healthy according to Mr. Vet. She just likes to eat!)

I really wanted a picture of both cats, however, Phoebe was off spazzing out behind me and eating garland. Poor cat...tiny head = tiny brain.

So far there hasn't been too many issues with the tree and the cats. Just a few ornaments on the floor the first day or two, but other than that, they have been good. They do meet for an occasional pow-wow under the tree where I suppose they are discussing possible x-mas gifts for their owners.

Poor Ellie...

She has lost her girlish figure and now it's diet time.

Do they make treadmills for cats?

Why do I get the weird cats?

Sorry for the delay in posts. We've been busy getting married, hanging out in Maui and stuff like that! Here are a bunch of pictures from the past few weeks...my cats are weird.

Fatty and Little Head...sunbathers extraordinaire!

Ellie's paw...don't ask.

Phoebe's modeling picture. Either she is trying to look serious or she wants whatever it is that I was eating at the moment.

What's your sleep number?

Ellie's is 27 - which is the same as laying on someone's back.

Yes, she crawled up on my back to sleep. It was very funny, but really uncomfortable for me. I tried to call Kevin in to take a picture, and every time I said his name, she pawed at my head.

Here she is taking advantage of the arm of the couch. She tends to lay like this a lot with all four paws hanging over the side of the couch. Very lady-like.

Here's one of Phoebe's favorite spots; laying on the warm radiator. I am slightly jealous of her.(Again, she is laying on a towel...gotta make it comfortable for her!)

Here are the ladies just hanging out in the hallway. Apparently Ellie cannot lay like a normal cat. Does she realize that this position is not flattering to her figure?

Here is Ellie celebrating Halloween, bat-style. I put this toy, which the cats got from Auntie Andrea, on her back. She walked around it with for a while so I was able to snap a picture. I tried it with Phoebe, but she wasn't as tolerant.

YYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Our parents are getting married in 3 days!!!

Meow meow!

(What? We're cats...we don't show much emotion, especially when the camera is on us.)

Finally...an update!

It's hard to update a cat blog when the cats don't do anything all day. And, I don't always have my camera handy to capture their antics, but I managed to take a few during the past two weeks. Fatty and Little Head continue to bring us joy...yes, they bring US joy. Kevin does like them and I can tell he wants more cats!!! (If I say it enough, maybe he will start believing it!)

Pay no attention to the cat behind the curtain...or to the fact that the curtains need to be ironed! The Feline of Oz.

This is the window were Ellie can usually be found. She tends to lay on the table (yes, on a towel) and look out the window when she is not upstairs sleeping. I especially like when I pull up the driveway and her little ears perk up as she sees me.

Spoiled? I think so. Here is Phoebe resting on our heating pad. Kevin had used it for his back and when it was not being used, Phoebe claimed it. Of course I had to turn it on for her and then cover her with a towel (naturally) and she slept there for about 2 hours.

An empty box? Don't mind if I do!

Somehow Fatty managed to jump into the empty box for our dishes. Thankfully it was empty or I imagine that there would have been some broken dishes.

Cat Fun

Sorry for the long wait! There is really nothing new or exciting with the cats. I still am unable to take a shower without the presence of Ellie - either sitting on the tub between the shower curtain and liner or sitting right on the bath mat...making it almost impossible for me to get out. And, heaven for bid I want to sleep in once in a while....Phoebe is right there to wake me up with her meows. Sometimes she sits at the bottom of the stairs and meows as loud as her little head can so I wake up. They pretty much own me....

Here are just some random pictures.

Now that is a full load!!!

Phoebe lounging on her chair. I have to cover it with a towel to keep her fur from sticking to the cushion....so spoiled.

Fat cat in a little bag....

(Thanks for the bag, mom! It was a hit with Ellie!)

Suppose I could buy her from Target....do you suppose they'd charge by the pound???
