Lazy Sunday


007 Simba here. Sunday is my lazy day, so I will be napping in my favorite corner today. Getting ready for lots of 007 action starting tomorrow. I think.

Licensed to K---

You may recall that I told you our town was going to be requiring licenses for cats this year. So my humans went and got my license yesterday: guess what, it is NOT a license to DRIVE. It is a license for them to KEEP me. And I have a tag that needs to be on me when I am outside, so that if I get lost and am picked up, it is clear that I am not a feral kitty, but have an owner and a license. So Mom says I will always have to wear my harness outside. We will SEE about THAT! This photo of me in my harness during the fall shows what I think about having to wear it.

But the exciting part is my license number. I am cat number 007 ! Isn't that fun?
So I am sure that I am licensed to do all sorts of things now.

Thursday AT The Garden

When the parents were on their Christmas trip (and deserted me), they went to the Missouri Botanical Garden one day. The highlights were indoors: there was a beautiful display of Christmas wreaths, of which this is just one:


And a train show decorated all around with plants, especially beautiful poinsettias. The details in the villages and with the trains were so much fun!



They also did walk around the garden, because the weather was quite mild that day, although the Garden is much more beautiful during the spring, summer and fall. There are usually lilies in this lily pond. They did see several wonderful holly trees covered in red berries.


The snow came later, on Christmas Day; when they went for a walk in the Park: Mom likes these benches covered with snow.

InTROOder Tuesday

What a surprise Mom came upon on Sunday morning in the family room! What amazed her is that there was no growling or hissing at all. The black kitty stayed for quite a while, and only left after I had gotten quite vigorous pawing at the sliding door. She actully thinks I may have wanted to PLAY with the introoder.

Poor introoder being out in the rain. Mom does hope he/she has a home, and will be in the lookout for a return visit.

Easy Sunday: Celebrating My Ninth Birthday


My humans don't know exactly when my birthday is, but they were told when they got me in July 2003 that I was 1 1/2 years old. So they decided that my birthday would be January 1st, to make it easy to remember. But then they forgot yesterday (to be truthful, they didn't but they decided so much was going on with New Year's Day, and then coming home, to blog about it today.)

I thought it would be fun to show you three of the very earliest pictures of me taken with a digital camera, at the end of 2003/beginning of 2004. I look almost the same, don't I? The other cat in the last picture is my bro Rusty, who was here when I moved in, but ran suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge several years ago, before I started to blog. We were like a Mutt and Jeff couple. He was long and lean and I am more rounded and floofy-looking. As you can see, even then, I loved messy blankie, as did Rusty, and would lie on the dining room table when I got a chance.

Photo Hunt - Fuzzy


Decided not to post the obvious picture of me on one of my fuzzy blankies, because you have seen lots of those. This photo is one a many out-takes from before Christmas by our tree. Most of the pictures looked fuzzy because Mom was trying to take them in the evening using only the light from the lamps and the tree lights.

But maybe the photo is really in focus and it is just too much New Year's Eve partying that makes it look fuzzy to you?????
