Sleepy Sundays


     Here it is another lazy, sleepy Sunday with everyone in full sleep mode. Everyone has their favorite spot, but they do like to change it around a bit.

                                              TJ in a funk.
                                      Notice how he just melts into it.

                    Reminds me of a bored teenager, grounded and moping.

                                          The Twins on my dresser.

                               A table for two. Notice Squirrel underneath. 

                                            Do not disturb, please.

                                   Lil' Bit taking up the whole recliner.

Hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Remember our motto. “All Kittehs R good Kittehs”

Cat vs Paper Bag


Mittens has never meet the brown paper bag that she couldn't destroy. She has a thing for paper bags & cardboard boxes. Thankfully she does not have pica, as she never tries to eat them, just destroy them. She will dig in to bite out a chunk of the bag then spits it out on the floor. Some times it looks like a bag exploded in the middle of the front-room.

                                             Gotta try this one.
                                                  Yep got it.
                                           Wait what was that flash.
                                                  Change of attack.
                                                Now you've had it.
                                              Time to get serious.
                                            What?! The bag started it.
                                              Time for a much needed nap.

Sleepy Sunday


Running a little behind on postings. Last week just as I was getting ready to post a thunder storm came in, so I had to shut the system down. Then again on Monday, next thing I knew it was the weekend again. Anyways here is how the day was spent at my house. Just a few pictures of what everyone was up to.

                                       The Twins sleeping together.

                                          Mittens on her shoes.

                                          The Martian in his bed.

                    Everyone gathers around me at the table when I sit there.

Lucky Friday


I hereby declare Friday the 13th as “Lucky Fridays”. Flying in the face of conventional superstition, I go out of my way to pass paths with black cats. Not everywhere are black cats considered a portent of ill omen. A few lesser known facts about black cat superstition.


In Great Britain and in Ireland, black cats are a symbol of good luck.


Black cats are also considered good luck in Japan. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors.[I wounder if that bears true for men also, having a choice of ladies]


In Germany, some believe that black cats crossing a person's path from right to left, is a bad omen. But from left to right, the cat is granting favorable times.


Maneki Neko (Japanese Lucky Cat) each color has a different meaning. A Black Lucky Cat: gets rid of badlucks.


Although she is not mine I feel fortunate to have Blackie stop by and visit on a regular basis. Not only is she a very beautiful cat, she also smells nice.

Kitty News


The twins, Pretty & Ugly.



 I have recently removed something from my routine that was taking up a disproportionate amount of time. I had let myself get caught up in an online activity that is just nothing more than a time waster. I was letting it take up far too much of my time and finding myself not spending time doing the things I really wanted to. With it gone now I plan on spending more time playing with the cats, I also hope to start posting more. The next problem is getting back in the habit of sitting down and writing, I can get lazy about doing this.

Squirrel is right at home.


Recently I got a new (used) couch, tossing the old one away. As you can see from most of the photos in this post it is a big hit. With the old one only The Martian and Lil' Bit would get up on it to sleep, the others would sometimes crawl into my lap. Now every-time I turn around I find another cat fast asleep on it. Even Squirrel likes it, she usually is not to be found, hiding from the others. You can see she has found herself a place on it. I don't know if maybe it is because this one has no cat scent on it yet or what, but at least they are enjoying it.

Pretty & The Martian.


Previously I had mentioned that Thor disappeared, well about 5 or 6 weeks ago my next door neighbor had their cat disappear on them. The came around asking if I had seen her after they had been away for a day and a half. They said they could not keep her in because of the dog door, so let her roam free. Then almost 2 weeks ago I came home and got a scare.

Ugly watching over TJ.


As most of you may know about half of the cats I write about are NMK's meaning they technically are my neighbors cats. Being allowed to come and go as they want 3 of them spend 80% or more of their time in my house. I only let them out so my neighbor can still see them and not think I took them. Most mornings they will go out, then when I get home to open the back door they are waiting to come back in. Just about 2 weeks ago I came home and only 2 were waiting to come in. Not unusual sometimes it will take a while before they realize I am home. That night I went to bed late and TJ still had not come in, this a few weeks after the other neighbors cat disappeared. I was getting worried, he is usually the biggest pest about coming in.

Squirrel noticed the camera.


Having gotten up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, I went to the back door to check once again for him. There he was wanting in, finally. I decided to keep them in from now on. You might say I stole them, although long ago they had already decided that this was home. The first couple of nights it was difficult with TJ crying to be let out. I do not like the idea of punishing cats for their behavior, that was what I felt like I was doing. When I went to bed I would have to get up and put him in the back room by himself. I did this so I could get some sleep, but still felt like I was punishing him. Thankfully he has stopped. All 3 will sometimes bug me to let them out during the day when I am up and about but they are getting use to it.

I want to start something new so look for news in an upcoming post about KWF. I am hoping I can find someone to help me with some artwork for it. I see I need to update my about me section I hope to do that by next post. That is all the news for now, until next time remember “All Kittehs R Good Kittehs”
