Happy New Year to All Our Friends

Have  a safe New Year's Eve, Kitties and Humans.   Wishing you the very best in 2012!

Me and my Friends Friday

I hear these guys are only out for a short while.    But we are firm and fast friends.     Till next Christmas, buddies!!

Pee Ess:  Simba almost bomited all over the "Precious Rug" on Christmas.   The humans got distracted with a phonecall and he consumed some "greenery"  he was not supposed to get into.   During gift unwrapping, he started to ............. (barfing noises) and the humans shot into action.  Simba dashed out of the Living Room and did his bomiting in the hallway, Thank COD!!    Whew, was that a close call!

One Word Wednesday

And we want to add how sorry we are about Sweet BB having to run off to the Rainbow Bridge.    She was with her Mom for 10 years and they were very close to each other.    Please go and leave some purrs for her Mom.

Easy on Monday after Christmas

We liked Bugsy and Knuckles' idea of posting Easy on Monday this week, with Sunday being Christmas and all.      Actually, this picture was taken yesterday, but Audrey is doing the same thing today.     And, yes, the humans did remove the tag!!

And here is Simba's version:

So today we each have a favorite sleeping corner in different rooms.  

Later today Mom will try to post about our Liebster Blog Award.   She has been too slow about it with everything else going on.

Meowy Christmas

Merry Meowy Christmas to all our friends in the Blogosphere.     Peace, Love and Joy to all.  

I guess we have to exercise some of the Peace Love and Joy here because we have to SHARE this toy!  (Mom bought a Supah Kitty from Casbah kitten before they closed their shop and saved it for Christmas).   

Christmas Eve Photo Hunt - Surprise

Mom and Dad let us into the living room for a short while yesterday and look what SURPRISED us:

Mom and Dad themselves are older than dirt, but some years ago Mom collected a few of the Macy's stuffed Christmas animals and she keeps them packed away except for at Christmas.   Those are Paddington, Snoopy, Babar and the Grinch.   Also there is a cute Hallmark teddy bear and a Raggedy Andy a close friend made for our human brother (cough cough) years ago.    Audrey gave them a good sniff and stayed for a very short while for a photograph.

Wishing all our friends an excitement filled Christmas eve.   We are reading your blogs even if we don't have time for comments.

A Feline Friend on Friday

Kitties, we want to introduce you to our cousin, Katie.     She belongs to our Auntie M, who is the Mom of Flossie, who flew to the Rainbow Bridge last August.    We posted about Flossie here at that time.

For quite a while, Auntie M had no kitty, but she missed having a furry one to share her life and earlier this year she adopted Katie from a shelter.    Katie's previous owner had to give her up when she moved to a nursing home.    

Here Katie is enjoying snuggling in a fabric shopping bag!     This will be her first Christmas in her new home.   

   

Do You Believe in Santa Paws?

Kitties, we have no photographic proof.   It all happened so fast.   But this morning we were glancing out our back window when nine (yes NINE - Mom counted them!)   deer went through our back yard and quickly into the yard behind our house.     Now Mom had to check on Wikipedia just to be sure but this is what she read:

The names of Santa's reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,Comet, Cupid, Donder (or Donner), and Blitzen. They are based on those used in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, arguably the basis of reindeer's popularity as Christmas symbols, where Donner and Blitzen were originally called Dunder and Blixem respectively.

The subsequent popularity of the Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has led to Rudolph often joining the list.

So, my furry friends, that totals NINE reindeer!  Of COURSE Rudolph must be included!

Now we have to admit these were White Tail deer, not reindeer, but surely it cannot be a mere coincidence that 3 days before Christmas they were hurrying through our yard!   

Make of it what you wish, but tomorrow morning we are looking for a man in a red suit!
