What We Do During a Blizzard

Cats can not go out into the cat enclosure during a blizzard!

MamaLindy shovels a path around the yard for little dogs.

Howard loves the snow!

Rex says being outside in the blizzard takes a lot of energy and snuggling in Howard's pants is nice and cozy. 

MamaLindy provides indoor recess fetch!

Booties!

Luckily kitties who have tender feet simply avoid going outside at all during the sub zero winter weather. The doggies, however, don't have the luxury of staying inside, and frankly most doggies we know love to be outside no matter what the weather.

That's why Rex got booties!

Here he is trying them on for the first time.

Rex is such a good sport and became and old pro in no time!

Our Christmas Post

We had to share some great pictures taken during the holidays. I'm sure you are all way over Christmas by now, but I can't let these go to waste.

So may I present to you...

Our Christmas Post!

Once the tree was up, everyone found a place to nap beside the good outdoor smells. Penny is on top, of course, then Yukon, Angus and BJ. Do I detect ranking here?

Wizard wanted to help wrap presents....

So of course Snafu wanted to help wrap, too.

But Snafu had his own idea about wrapping.

Owen thought the paper would make a good surface for batting around his toy.

Then Yukon and Angus tried it out for napping possibilities.

There were plenty of gifts for kitties and terriers too!

Snafu immediately took over one toy for himself.

Owen tried out one of the gift bags.

I think you'll agree that Angus is a gift.

We also took a moment to remember Moseley, who went to the Bridge

a year ago on December 26th.

Our humble thanks to those of you who stopped by our silent blog just to wish us a happy holiday. We read and enjoyed all your comments even though we did not post anything at the time.

Stuff We've Been Doing

Hello Cat Blogosphere!

We took an unplanned and unexpected leave of absence from the CB, but now we are back!!

I have some old unposted posts that were planned but not executed and I hope to post those in the coming days.

In the meantime, here are a few shots of what we've been doing with ourselves....

Angus enjoys a high riding snuggle with MamaLisa (me).

Penny gets some one-on-one time with DP - not too close to my face, please, she says. 

Snafu takes advantage of my abundant lap.

Group naps are our specialty and we strongly beleive in diversity.

In this photo from head to toe is DP, Yukon, Nick, Rex and Buzz.

Yukon enjoys special snuggles at the desk and shows me his appreciation with a loving bite to my chin.

Yes, it hurts. Thank goodness I have two of them.

Thanks for stopping by!

How to Diaper a Cat: Lesson 1

How to diaper a cat:

                          LESSON 1

First you need a diaper with a hole for a tail

...and you need a cat.

Preferably a sleeping cat.

Approach sleeping cat with diaper.

Place diaper over offensive site

 and fasten velcro around right hind leg.

Ignore awakened cat.

Quickly thread tail through open hole in center of diaper.

...and fasten velcro around left hind leg to complete the procedure. 





 ...I said

and fasten velcro around left hind leg to complete the procedure. 



Remove hands from offensive site to avoid exposed canines!

Always remember "Safety First!"

Attempt to retreive diaper to begin again.

Take care to avoid scuffle with cat while bunny kick is in progress... 

USE CAUTION!

And try again, but...

 

know when to extract yourself from a bad situation and... 

Abandon procedure!

admit defeat!

and

turn over all diapers to cat!

  

DP gave it a good try but I haven't given up yet. 

Be sure to come back for Lesson 2!
