Wishing EveryCat a Jolly Christmas!

Count your blessings, we all have some...one of ours is blogging and the furriends that we have made...who even if we never met, are true friends...we say that from the bottom of our hearts! We are sad when one leaves us, and smile when a new friend keeps us company...our joys are many because of friends like you!

We are Merry!

Oh...this has been the most wonderful Christmas time for us...thanks to our CatBlogosphereFurriends! May your Christmas be Merry and Bright...you have made ours one to remember!












In great part, due to the love we feel from the Cat Blogosphere, Teri has decorated our house for Christmas this year, for the first time since our Daddy passed...because she 'feels the love' of of all of you!

Santa's Little Elves?


Poor Teri came down with a URI (a cold virus, hahameow) on Wednesday and her nightstand looks like a shelf at a drug store...but she is feeling better and has been finishing up decorating the house, doing a little shopping (no gifts this year, just donations to her two favorite rescues--Tabby's Place and Best Friends Sanctuary) and watching Brighton's Yule Tide Auction--which is very exciting!! She even bought a couple more ornaments at TJ Maxx to donate to the auction!










She keeps threatening to pull out all the Holiday outfits and take some photos of us...but the only ones she's talked into that so far was silly Fifi and 'It's all Attention' Sammy! But we will have to say, she does look adorable in this new sweater and Sammy looks like he's ready for the 'Apres Ski Party' in that comical hat!



She has Mrs Claus outfit (make that CLAWS!) and a pretty Party Dress and an Elf Hat, too...so we are making ourselves scarce (which means napping--there actually was blue sky and sunshine today, after the snow on Thursday and a couple of grey days with no sunpuddles at all.



Teri cleaned up outside a bit, sweeping of the patio and rearranging the ferals shelter and feeding station in hopes they will use both now that it's cold. She got a clear storage box for the feeding station and both TomTom and Mama Katz get in it to eat, so she put the heating pad in there instead of the insulated shelter she made them cuz they don't seem to want to get in that.





She moved it off to the side of the patio to see if that is a more secluded spot they would feel ok with. She might get another clear storage box and make them a new one if the seem to think the feeding station is safer...She still has had no luck trapping TomTom--he won't even step inside the big raccoon trap she borrowed this time...even with both doors open!

Teri will be spending Christmas Day with furriends who have 2 Furrydance kitties--we hope she brings home some goodies for us this time! Then they are all going to the movies later on to see Little Fockers. And the next weekend, she is going to head down to North Carolina for New Years with 2 more Furrydance kitties--the ones with the lovely fireplace everyone is envious of. She already bought party hats and noisemakers and some bubbly. Brighton will get to go with her, because she has to keep a close eye on him with his history of urinary problems.


We will keep our petsitters entertained while she is away and guess we should promise not to 'undecorate' the house while she is away. She did get 'us' some nice new flannel sheets to snuggle in too...maybe that will distract us since we will get in lots of extra nap time!


Oh, and even though Teri has been very lax about exercising Disco to encourage his weight loss...she weighed him yesterday...and he is down to 14# 9 ounces!! And you'll notice...he got a buzz cut again, too! And yes, that's 2 pieces of kibble to keep him on the scale for the photo, hahameow!

Tortie Tuesday!


Little Fifi got to visit with her new family today, while the Mr was working on Teri's laptop--transferring files and photos--tons of 'em from her old Mac Mini, which was full to the brim and about to burst at the seams (or die).


Teri took this video of her a couple of weeks ago, but she thought it would be fun to post it for Tortie Tuesday as the catnip mat she is having sooo much fun with is just like one that Stacy of the blog 'On a More Personal Note', donated to Brighton's Yule Tide Auction!



Brighton's auction is off to a great start! The wonderful cat book collection went to Forty Paws. Thank you sooo much for bidding and we hope you get lots of enjoyment reading each one and we know your kitties will enjoy the extra 'lap time' while you are immersed in the books, too!

And Brighton received two donations of green papers from people who have Furrydance kitties of their own, Pierro & Miles, and Lisa Noble, and they know just how sweet Brighton is, having met him in purrson!

Teri says watching the auction bidding is kind of like having a very very special Advent Calendar with little windows to open each day to see what sweet surprise is hidden behind each one! She says it's fun to see who is bidding, too, knowing that every item was donated with love! She is so grateful for everyone's support and caring in helping 'take care of Brighton' by visiting the Yule Tide Auction and bidding on the 'gifts' on display!

And now, Week Two of the auction begins with almost 30 items to look over and bid on, and we hope you find something irresistible--just like Fifi finds her custom catnip mat!
