1. Cat Check:
Milo is in his heated cat bed, not napping but just resting. Jeoffry is on his padded windowsill perch, waiting for the sun to come up and the birds to arrive. Pixie is running around the living room chasing a crinkly foil ball.

3. He's up at my mother-in-law's place checking to see
whether her knitting is too tidy. Sometimes her knitting needs to strung from one end of the house to the other, and he's always looking out for her best interests. :hi:

9. We have just learned that our "outside" cat Buddy...
spends his days sleeping on our neighbor's couch. Inside.

10. One just climbed into her little box on the window seat.
I think I'll open the shade so she can peer out.

One just jumped onto the couch in the other room and is settling her furry self down. The third is probably upstairs, asleep on my bed where she spends most of the daytime hours. Kittehs!

13. I read that to say litter box.
And I thought, "What an odd place to keep it."
My cats are all sleeping in warm, comfy spots.

14. They're in sleeping zone 3.
Normally at this time they would be in sleeping zone 2, but because it's pouring rain it's not warm enough over there.

The inconvenience is not forgiven.

15. My cat was caught with his face in the waste basket
Maximus has a habit of picking waste baskets looking for trash I throw out so he can use them for cat toys. I had to stop using the small waste can and use a bigger one, but that doesn't stop him from raiding the rubbish.

17. Just caught my 2 kittens in the food reserve
I put my two 3.5lb bags in a place I didn't think they could get to. WRONG

Made a mess in my closet. And they still want more!

19. The woodstove is roaring
Therefore the kittehs are as close to is as possible without setting their fur on fire. However, the little part-Persian pisspot has defied expectations and has momentarily left the basket that is 8 inches from the woodstove, as MG Jr. has just finished a bagel and she wants the butter drippings off the plate. (Ew.) However, Jasmine the Lardass is on the corner of the area rug that is closest to the hearth. She has just completed the arduous task of licking her ass and is now resting from the effort. Life is good.

23. The minute I opened this thread he woke up from his nap (on his cat tower next
to my desk), put his front paws on my leg and started yelling at me. Apparently he wanted my entry to be more exciting than "he's sleeping."

24. I can only see one
She's sitting in the kitchen doorway staring at me like she expects me to get up and open a can. I think the rest are asleep someplace.

31. I'm away from my kittehs right now but I can take guess
since

1) Sleeping
2) Eating
3) Taking a crap

takes up 95% of their time

38. They're eating treats
When I went downstairs to check on them, Huckleberry was lounging on the living room couch and Tom had just jumped down from the kitchen counter, where he is not allowed to be and he knows it. He started asking for treats so I gave them both treats. There was nothing else I could do.

39. I am jealous -- I love kitties.
I love my doggie too. I have been trying to convince my husband to get a cat. We had a cat -- my fave orange kitty Linus -- before our dog and I miss him (he died). My husband is worried about our dog Abraham getting along with cat (honestly the cat taking to Abraham is the worry). What do you all think or what experiences do you have? Is there a method for the cat, dog introduction? Abraham is almost 2 and a boxer. He is extremely attached to us (no separation anxiety or anything) -- he sleeps with us, cuddles with us, eats with us etc... I think a new kitty would be good for him but my husband thinks a cat will beat him up (Abraham is a sweet, sweet dog).

45. Day 2: The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger is
upstairs asleep on his bed, conveniently situated at window level with a 180°-view of the bird feeding station, on top of a fluffy shearling and covered by a toasty lightweight fleece blanket. His life is a good one. However, Call Me Wesley is making ham for dinner so I expect I soon will be called upon to prepare a "baby plate."

46. Since I'm at work and she's at home I'll have to guess, but I'd almost bet money
that she's sleeping on my bed, curled up on my fluffy bathrobe. That's where she was when I left and she's content to sleep there for hours at a time.

48. my puppy kitty is curled up on the perch in the window
she's not napping or actively watching anything. i think she's just 'being' for the moment. fat cat, not at all surprisingly, is curled up on my husband's side of the bed.
