Ah, the holidays are thrust upon us. The time for festivities and food. May we present one of Olivia’s favorite desserts – the Tessa Tuxedo Jelly Roll, of which we can’t help but notice, she’s hogging completely to herself.

With Seth and Maxx being old hands at the holiday festivities, we celebrated a lot of firsts yesterday with the kittens and new additions to our family this year. First turkey day, first Feline Greenies, first Christmas parade on TV, first Christmas movies, first of many Christmas decorations. What a joy to watch Pia, Tessa, Olivia and Quint discover new things. Even Miss Newton got in on it, making us think that perhaps her previous holiday seasons wherever she lived before, weren’t as filled with wonder and surprise.

Many more to come, little ones. And all good if we have anything to say about it.

A Wild Cat Storm.

Posted on November 19, 2012 by colehauscats

Thank you, Mindy, Moe, Cookie and Mike of Team Tabby, for bestowing upon us the Honey, I Shrunk the Pig Many Babies Blog Award! We couldn’t be more thrilled and neither could our many babies! Thank you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, to the Wild Cat Storm:

Winds calm, Barometer constant, limp seas with gentle swells. But wait! Instability predicted on the horizon. Alert: This is a wild cat storm warning. Hang onto your hats!

Suddenly, from the south, a squall line builds. This is a typical cat inversion. A low-level jet stream barrels in. Windspeed increasing with backing winds gusting at thirty-five, the dipping barometer indicates a low-level convergence increase developing with a typical Stratiform cloud appearance.
