Ten Questions

Last week Spitty-the-Kitty tagged us for answering 10 questions.     Thanks for the honor, King Spitty (hey, when did you go from Sir Spitfire, to King Spitty?).
So here we go with our answers:
#1. Describe yourself in seven words.  Audrey:  Hungry, chatty, affectionate, persistent, nosy, indiscriminate (re food), attentive.  Simba: Fluffy, sensitive, cuddly, patient, picky-eater,  observant, olfactory (likes to smell everything coming into the house).
#2. What keeps you up at night? Audrey: waiting for my automatic feeder to go off and give me my snack at 5 am.   Simba:   Mom watching tv at all weird hours of the night when she wakes up.     But then I snuggle with her so it has its good side.
#3. Who would I like to be?  Audrey: My namesake, Audrey Hepburn.  Simba:  An only cat.  
#4. What am I wearing right now?   Nothing except our furs of course.  Not even our collars are on.
#5. What scares me? Simba: The doorbell, strange man footsteps and voices.   Audrey: None of those things that scare Simba, but I run from the sound of aluminum foil and the spray bottle. 
#6. The best and worst of blogging. The best: enjoying the fun and supportive feedback from all the new blogging furriends.  The worst:   Trying to come up with some novel pictures to put into our posts.  The ones Mom has are SO repetitive!  
#7. The last website I visited. Spitty’s!  To copy these questions.
#8. What one thing would I like to change about myself? 
 We wouldn’t change anything about ourselves.      We WOULD like ot change how often we get to go on the deck in the good weather, though.  And talking about that, we would like to change the weather NOW!
#9. Slankets, yes or no?   Well, they wouldn’t work for a kitty with the sleeves, but we LOVE our crocheted messy blankie, that Mom pulls over herself  on the couch like a lot of people use slankets.   But, really, what a weird name!
#10. Tell us something about the person Kitty! who tagged you.  Oh, Spitty has such a neat sense of humor.    And he loves the ladies – he is capable of spreading his love around to many of them.   

So now we are supposed to tag some other cats - we will post this as is, and Mom will try to look around for who has not done it already.

Easy on Sunday, Audrey Style


Anybody who thinks Audrey is not "at home" here should take a look at this picture!
More ballet dreams?

Thursday in the Garden

:::Meowww:::

Does everybuddy know that the Great Backyard Bird Count begins tomorrow and goes through the weekend?      You can read more about it and how you can participate here.

Yesterday we were out on the deck for a short while and heard a loud noise coming from one of trees, and Dad told us it was a Pileated Woodpecker who had come to visit.      Well, he didn't get any new photos (we got some last year of him or a friend of his) but Mom has borrowed a picture from Wikipedia to show you.     He is a really BIG birdie!


If you want to learn more, here is the Wikipedia article.

ManCat Monday

Have I showed you this picture before?    Mom is having a hard time finding pictures of me doing something other than napping or sitting on the deck!     Anyway, she thinks I look pretty mancatly here.   I don't play with the Ess as much as Audrey does, without the claws and all, but even without front claws I do still sometimes scratch it.    Call it instinct.

Slightly Snowy Saturday

We had a little bit of snow last night.   It was just enough to put a coating on the trees and the deck, but not enough to be a trouble on the driveway and the roads.  

Mom tried to "encourage" us to go out on the deck to check it out (really so she could get some pictures of us in it) but we said ARE YOU KIDDING?
We did look at it through the closed door, though.    
 Note Simba's folded towel now covered with snow (silly Dad didn't bring it in).

Here's a closeup:
