Our First Award!

THANK YOU so much to our friends Harry, Dexter and Tipp at Cherry City Kitties for blessing us with our first award ever!

Beautiful Blogger Award

We’re honored and promise to love it and sniff it and pet it and pose with it. Oh, and share it, too!

Newton with the Beautiful Blogger Award

The other important stuff – The rules to accept the Beautiful Blogger Award are:
1. Thank and link back to the sender.
2. Tell 7 things about you your reader may not know.
3. Nominate 15 bloggers for the award.

That’s it! Easy-Peasy, or is it? Yikes! Our 7 things:

1. Miss Newton, a.k.a. Fireball: I *strongly dislike* being picked up. It has to be on my timeline and it’s just not time yet.

2. Seth, the Comfort Cat: Because the Dad’s working all day, he needs comforting the most, and so I sleep on the Dad’s chest all night long.

3. Since counting calories and meeting the Furminator brush, Maxx is proving to the world he has a neck now. Maxx has no comment.

4. Tessa, a.k.a Danger Cat: Twice a day, I insist Mom give me extra pets and snuggles – once at 1 p.m. and once at 4:30 a.m. Mom isn’t too thrilled about that morning one as you might imagine.

5. Pia: I’m a sassy, tough cat now and can hold my own with sisters Danger Cat and Fireball in their roughest fights, even in the jumbled shoe bin on top of Dad’s shoes!

6. the Dad spends at least two hours every day at his job wishing he could bring at least one kitty to work with him. But…no one would get any work done, he winks and says knowingly.

6.5. the Dad keeps forgetting Pia has kitten-needle claws instead of soft marshmallow-y paws. Time to restock the Band-Aids!

7. the Mom can identify whose poop is whose with a 99 percent accuracy rate. It’s a learned skill, but not resume-worthy.

Double Yikes!! 15 blogs to share this award with. We’re not sure who hasn’t received this beauty yet, but we’re searching! In the meantime, we’d like to share this award with:

Handsome Henry at Need I Say Meow

Noir’s Nook Because Noir is art.

Everyone at Cat Wisdom 101 because they’re wise and Mom always likes the mention of older cats needing furever homes too!

Jazz Cat for making the Mom laugh.

My Three Moggies. Oh, the joy we get from Archie, Oscar and Henry.

Alfie at A purrfect Cat Boy, do we ever want Alfie’s cat tree!

Cats & Co Thanks for the information and entertainment!

And thanking everyone at Just Cats for the beautiful photos!

Thank you again, Cherry City Kitties!

No Bunny Knows…

Hard to believe the time has flown by so fast, Pia is now bigger than her Bunny! But not six weeks ago. Back then, when she was almost tiny, she was all about “The Stare.” Here Pia looks deep into the camera, nay, deep into your soul.

You cannot resist my kitten-y stare. You cannot look away. Give me all your foods, your toys and your Internets!

Lounge Lessons from Maxx.

Maxx: You want my opinion?

Tessa: Hmm, not really.

Maxx: You move too fast. You need to slow down, little sister. Relax, lie down. Take it easy for once. All us gray cats deserve a little lounge time.

Tessa: But, but, but…I’ve got places to go! Things to see! Counters to jump up on….!

Maxx: Take it from me, kid. You want to embrace the inner calm and maximize the nap time. All those things will still be there later. Trust me.

Tessa: If I take a nap, then will you show me how to explore the kitchen counters?

Maxx: later, much late….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
