TomTom Tuesday...

Teri took these pretty pix of TomTom over the weekend... He really is a handsome orangey mancat, isn't he?!

Caturday Saturday

Teri's still not done decorating for Christmas! She said she will probably leave the house Christmas-y until Ground Hog Day, hahameow! And that silly photo of Coco? She's cuter in a real costume but hope it makes you all laff 'n laff!

Teri did make a little bit of headway this week, but has to put twinkly lights up inside around the windows and hang one more string of icicle lights outside and then she'll be done! We'd help, but as you know, we don't have thumbs!

It's a chilly, but sunny day and as you can see by this photo, all the cats are enjoying the warmth of even a winter sun. We didn't get to go out strolling yet this weekend, but Teri is going to try and make time to take us out tomorrow! After all, she has to walk, why not take us!


Here's some pix of last weekend...if you wonder why we are on our porch, it's cuz Teri keeps forgetting to take the camera along on our strolls!


Teri has a date tonight...yep, not just a meet n greet or a 5 minute speed date! She met an English professor who rides a motorcycle and used to be in the movies...no joke! And he likes cats! They met for lunch last weekend and guess they thought each other interesting enough to go out again, hahameow!

She tried on all her dresses but none of them fit, so yesterday she went shopping and got (as one friend calls them, Adult Pajamas, hahameow!). Black velvet pants (stretch waistband...Disco would understand that!) and a shimmery red blouse (not clingy, either). She said she can wear it to the Cat Hospital's Christmas Party, too...

Our petsitters, who were waiting to have their baby, are now the proud parents of a little boy who weighs less that Coco, but he is doing fine and Teri is going to visit them tomorrow! So we will have lots of kids visiting us when Teri goes away cuz they are a family of 5 now!

Another big surprise is that this week, Teri saw TomTom get in the Catty Shack she made him...three times! Yep, he was in the content, meatloaf position, warming his buns on the heating pad! She tried to get a photo of the memorable moment, but he got nervous and ran off. But it's a start and she hopes he will take advantage of the warm spot from time to time now that the weather is getting cold! Here's a photo Teri took of him today in the garden, and just like us, he's enjoying the sunshine, too!

And an update on Coco. You might remember she hurt her hind leg back in July. Well, she had her appointment at the Sports Medicine Vet on Friday to get an experts opinion on her luxating patella and limping...and we'll tell you more about that tomorrow when Teri has more time, but to make her get better, it looks like she will need surgery to repair some torn ligaments. Here she is, waiting for Dr Lotsikas...

Teri said she is going to cut back her counseling therapy sessions to once a month and get rid of our landline telephone, so she can have the extra money to pay for the surgery, and she's going to look into applying for Care Credit so she could have 6 months and no interest to pay off the surgery.

But she needs to check and see if VOSM even accepts it CareCredit. She's already looking around the house to see if there are some things she could donate to a CB auction to help, too...we said we'd donate our Hepper Pod to help Coco!

Well, we hope all you kitties are having a good day at home, too with lots of sun or at least warm blankies to snuggle under!

We are purrayin' for our friend, Ginger Jasper, to also have a good weekend back at home and to be able to share some more hugs and loves from his human family. We are sad to think he is close to having to go to the Bridge and we want him to have some good days left to soften the sadness of having to say goodbye...

Oh, and don't forget to Blog Hop today and share the love!

Caturday (Cat Bed) Saturday

Teri has an eMac on her desk, just waiting for her to gut it and make a cat bed out of it...







Then we saw this and so wish that Dougie, our techie friend, could make one for us!

But til that happens, hahameow... this is what we've been up to!

Enjoyin' our Hammicks...

Following sunpuddles...

Keeping an eye on TomTom...

We caught a glimpse of Mama Katz on Thursday late at night, but TomTom chased her off before Teri could snap a photo of her!

Teri made a new 'cat house' out of a clear storage box this time, with openings in both ends, in attempts to tempt TomTom to curl up inside on a heating pad...but so far no dice! But she did see a possum inside stealing the cat food!

Watching our cat grass grow...

Teri loves this product, cuz it grows fast and is less expensive than the pots she used to buy at Petco. She just puts it in a pretty yellow pot instead of leaving it in the bag.

In fact, it's on sale through the store for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and if you bought it from them, you'd be helping out the animals there, too!

Playin' in the tub after Teri takes a shower...

And strollering!

Yep, our friend Jeff donated his almost new Pet Gear Jogger Stroller to us cuz his kitty, Twix didn't like venturing outside (though there is evidence he enjoyed snoozing it it, hahameow).

Teri took us out Thursday for a 5 mile stroll and it was good she put in 2 Snuggle Safes and an extra blanket and we were all in 'puffy coats' too...cuz it was dark when we got back home! We think she may have to get headlights if she takes us out for any more long strolls like that!

We were ready for a nice cozy nap after that trek!

It's supposed to rain on Sunday, so we will probably be doing more of the snuggle and snooze activities while Teri starts decorating the house for Christmas...that's the plan anyway!

Hope all our furriends are havin' a nice weekend too, and we promise to get around to visiting this week, promise!

Simply Sunday Evening...

Well, it was another sunny day today...TomTom napped in a pile of leaves in our garden...

Disco, Brighton and Coco enjoyed lounging on their new Hammicks...

Teri went out walking for an hour, bbq'd a steak for dinner and watched a funny movie, Romance & Cigarettes...

And just for a giggle, here's a little movie of Brighton enjoying the TV after the movie ended, hahameow!

Caturday Saturday

TomTom after Turkey Day 2011

We hope all our furriends had a tasty Turkey Day! Teri went off to friends for the day, and didn't bring home ANY leftovers...

But she did give us each a jar of Turkey baby food (she said that would be easier on our tum tums than Turkey dinner and all the trimmings...).

We spent the day snoozing and wildlife watchin' from our brand new loungers! Two Forty Paws Hammicks! Yep, Teri gave us our Christmas purrescent early!


We kept seeing our furriends out there in the Cat Blogosphere enjoying their hammicks and we told Teri that they would be purrfect for birdie and squirrel watching, so she put them right in front of the sliding door out to our back yard.

They are comfy and keep us off the cold tile floor too, and we are lucky kitties to have such a considerate mum, don't ya think?! And we like supporting Forty Paws, too...

Teri's exercise regimen was interrupted by our trip to Indy and well, all the calories consumed on Thanksgiving, but she told us we are going out walking today as it's partly sunny and not too cold, and it's supposed to be nice tomorrow to, so we may get to stroll again!

And don't forget to join the Saturday Blog Hop and visit some new furriends, too!
