Mancat Monday

 Mom?  What came in this box? 

A stool for the sewing room?  You are teasing, right?  This box is not big enough for me!  How could you fit on a stool that was in it? 

Kirby!  Be nice to Mom!  She gives out the treats!  It was a folding stool!

Stop and smell the roses!

We told Mom she needed to follow Angel's lead! 


These artificial roses are on top of Mom's thread cabinets!

Mom has been busy getting ready to teach a class on the folded table runner and we think she needs to take a long break!

We can share!

 Mom and Dad were so good to the stray kitties that we wanted to be nice to them.  We shared the same plate with tuna juice! 



 Mom and Dad wasted a nice sunny and warm day yesterday.  They had planned to work on the kitty shelter outside. But they did not! They waited till today when it was 48 and the north wind was blowing 28 miles an hour!  The kitty shelter is a doghouse.  Mom had some old fleece that looked like a sheep fleece but was not.  She cut and glued it into the roof and sides of the base.

 
Then  Dad took bricks and insulation board and built a surround for the house!



 They made the roof so it would keep the food dish dry! 


It has a flap on the front, but with the bed and blankets in it, the flap would not move so Mom cut a hole in it.  It will help keep out some of the air.

Now if Mr Black will use it.  Ms Gray has made herself at home in the garage! 
Mom wishes Mr. Black would get tame. too!

New Year's Day Dilemma

Mom sitting at computer reading blogs hears bump, bump, bump.  'Kirby!  Just push the cat door open and go into the garage!  Stop banging it!'



Bump. Bump!  BUMP!   Mom looks over shoulder to see where he is and sees this!

What are you doing in there?   You got in on your own, you can get out on your own! 

Bump, bump BUMP! 


Mom?  Is it morning?  

Yes Kirby it is morning!

I guess I had too much nip last night! 



I guess you did.


Note from Mom:  He was not in the cabinet all night!  Just a few minutes

Easy Like Sunday

Last night was not easy!  Angel and I heard something that scared up.  Mom and Dad did not hear it, but we thought it was coming from the back of the house!.   We ran and growled, our furs stood on end and we laid our ears back.   Mom kept saying nothing was down the hall but I would not believe her.  Angel did and went on to play.  I sat at the end of the hall, big eyed and ears back.  I would rotate one ear to see If I could still hear the scary thing.    Mom went down the hall turning on all the lights in all the rooms but I still was not convinced.  So Mom picked me up and carried me down the hall!  I was not happy and tried to get away several times! Mom still did not convince me it was OK so I ran back to Dad!


So today I am taking it easy and crossing my paws that nothing scares me...I mean MOM, today!
