White Wednesday

There's an awful lot of licking and fussing going on over there, Julie.

Holy Cow! She's got herself a stogie!

And she looks so sweet and innocent!

TUMMY TUESDAY

TUMMY TUESDAY WITH AIR BISCUITS

Ah!  The sweet life of a kitty!

MANCAT MONDAY

A mancat's work is NEVER done!

Can you guess who I've been taking lessons from? That's right!  Oui Oui!  She's the one that trashes the place then sleeps in the middle of it.  Do you think the mom will want to scratch my tummy after she sees this mess?

It Snowed! FINALLY!

 Our first snow of the season.

Enough, but not too much!

It snowed last night and there was some freezing rain.  The big freak snowstorm in October missed us.  Folks a little to the north got a few inches, but we are close enough to the Chesapeake Bay that it influences our weather.  We tend to be on the dividing line between rain and snow.  Not that we kitties mind, we despise the snow!

I climbed under my little blanket and I'm not coming out!

We wish a wonderful weekend to all!  Have fun no matter what you do!

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES SOLVED?

We had three Unsolved Mysteries over the course of the week!  The first was like a riddle, and had some hints.  To recap:

What can freeze a kitty's heart with fear?
What does a kitty go out of the way to avoid?
What can stop a THoE in their tracks with a single glance?


Our wonderful furriends had some great ideas about the mystery, and all were very plausible and creative.  The real answer wasn't among the guesses, so without further ado, here it is:

 JULIE!

 She sits at the top of the stairs...

...controlling the entire upstairs!

Even the Thundering Herd of Elephants freeze in their tracks at the sight of her!  Their very blood turns to ice!  Mid-stairs they instantly transform into scaredy cats and slink quietly back down the stairs.  Game over!  Smart kitties (especially scaredy cats) stay out of whapping distance.  She packs one mean punch and she means business.

Our other Unsolved Mysteries involved food:

 The Mystery Bagel Licker

gave the hoomans a lesson on sharing

The Mysterious Bowl Cleaner

cleaned the bowl of "unwanted" food so the Mom didn't have to

Unfortunately, there is no answer to the two mysteries above.  They are true Unsolved Mysteries!  Many mysteries like them came before, many will follow, without a doubt.

(However, the Mom's money is on Mica Minnie Moo.)

Have a fun weekend!  Thanks for joining us.

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow!

Once again we say goodbye to the Girl as she returns to Collich in her quest to become a horse doctor.  {{shutter}}

 The Girl and Oui Oui say good bye

Have you noticed something (those faithful followers who visit frequently)?  Oui Oui likes to be held two ways, and those ways only.  Her favorite is over the left shoulder.  If she is held another way, she will squirm until she's in her purrferred position.

This is the other way she likes to be held.  Honestly.  We call it the "Snausage".

Don't forget tomorrow is the big Unsolved Mystery reveals!  Woo Hoo!  Stay tuned!
(We hope you don't have trouble falling asleep tonight.)

LIEF!! AWARD

We are so honored to win the LIEF!! Award from our dear furriends at Bengal Business.  In case you haven't visited them, they are a pair of stunning Bengals, Lars and Odin.  They are sweet and mischievous - everything a kitty should be, AND THEY HAVE SPOTS!!  Lots of them!  If you want to fall in love, stop by and see them.  By the way, this handsome award was designed and developed by them, so they are talented as well.

"Lief" is Dutch for "Sweet", and we get to pass this award on to 3 deserving blogs.  The worst part of winning an award is deciding whom to pass it along to.  We wish we could give it to 10 times as many!  So after deliberation, here are the kitties we are passing the award to:

Mario da Cat - He is sweet cause he always helps someone who needs it, and always has a kind word.
Meezer Tails - The mom stumbled on their blog a couple years ago and started blogging because of them, so she wouldn't have met all the wonderful, sweet blogging kitties without them.  (Little Nicky is a sweetheart, too.)
Katnip Lounge - Many a time they have sweetened our lives with laughter at their crazypants antics and biting wit.

The mom truly feels badly she couldn't pass the award onto many of the kitties who visit daily, cause you all are sweet and winners in her eyes!  Her life is sweetened by knowing you all!  Thank you for sharing your time with us.
