cats enjoy the nice weather

The weather yesterday was pretty nice, so we opened up the windows. The cats seemed pretty happy about that.

They all watched as we did yard work. I think they wanted to come out and help. Or just explore and run around, more likely. Kudzu was pretty vocal about it. Even Persy meowed a few times, which is unusual of her.

After we came back in, we threw off our shoes and the cats immediately went nuts over them. I don’t know what it is about grass and foot stink, but the cats really seem to love it.

take your place at the dinner table

Whoever says that cats don’t love their owners knows nothing about cats. Why else would my cats sit around the dining table with me, each in their own chair, for several hours as I work? They could just as easily go hang out somewhere else.

Juniper, diagonal from me (cat hair-covered chair = sign of a cat lady!)

Kudzu, on my lap (though not for long, because he didn’t want to share the chair!)

cats play with & promptly break their new toy

I bought the cats a new dangly thing-on-a-string toy. Within five minutes, they broke it.

ikea cats

We moved our smaller Expedit into the bedroom nook so we can get bigger desks in our office. Of course the cats were curious, so when a couple of them jumped into the bookcase, we grabbed the other two and stuck them in their own cubes. It’s somewhat rare to get all four cats in one picture. Well, a good picture, anyway.

Here’s another shot of all my kitties on Ikea furniture, passed out on the orange Tylosand couch.

why hello there!

This being the first post, I feel like I should have some sort of special introduction about what this blog is. But that’s pretty obvious. So I’ll just introduce my cats instead.

These two lovelies are Kudzu (left) & Juniper (right). They’re brother and sister and I’ve had them since November 2006. I got them as kittens, along with their sister, Olive, who passed away a year later from FeLV. They are my babies and mean the world to me.

This is Palpatine, who is actually one of my boyfriend’s cats. Contrary to his name, he is only slightly evil and mostly lovable. He bores easily and goes kind of crazy sometimes, dashing about the house, yowling for attention.

This is Persephone, aka Persy, Li’l Puss, and sometimes Dumbshit. She is just coming out of kittenhood and finally settling down a bit. Thankfully. She likes lying on boxes and getting into trouble.

You will be seeing lots and lots of these kitties. They are all very personable cats and I’ve got tons of pictures and stories to share.

I’m very excited about this blog and I hope you are, too!
