Whiney Wednesday

This is my bedside table.  It does not hold a lamp, or a book I’m reading, or my laptop, or even my morning cup of coffee.  What it usually holds is a cat, doing this….

Casper

or this

Jimmy

or this

Kip and Archie

and this

Ben (with Archie's behind)

But truth be told I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!

Mancat Monday

Well kids, if you visited last Monday you know I posted some pics of the boys at the window watching Bird TV.  However in those shots I could only get four cats at a time and said it would be my quest to try to catch all five boys together.  I had no idea I would accomplish this so quickly!!!!

This is what I woke up to on Sunday morning and luckily my ipad was by the bed....

all five boys!!!!

Jimmy sees me snapping photos

 
Jimmy and Kip remained after the others lost interest

and then just Jimmy remained.

It was an exciting morning :-)

Mancat Monday x5

It's not often I have a photo op with all five boys,

but it was a beautiful day yesterday,

the windows were wide open,

and house next door is under renovation so they were all gathered together being nosy.

Mancat Monday

Here are all five of my mancats on the unmade bed.

What do you think...secret meeting or just snoozefest?

Tuesday Taste Test

Hi kids,  mum and dad have been trying to get us to eat some premium wet food that is grain free, but it has been difficult finding something that we all like.  First we tried trout but Casper wasn't impressed.

Casper is leaving after a brief nibble

Then we tried a salmon mix but Jimmy didn't like it (although we love salmon water from real salmon when mum and dad open a tin).  Who ever heard of cats that didn't like fish cat food?

Jimmy is missing from the picture

Then we tried a turkey/duck/chicken combo, mum calls it "turduckin" and we all gobbled it up!!!

nom, nom, nom

Now if mum and dad can just find a new grain-free kibble that everyone likes we will be all set!!!

PS - is anyone else finding that their reading list keeps disappearing now that blogger has switched to the new format?

Mancat Monday x5

I'm not thrilled about posting this picture because the room is so untidy; the bed isn't made and my dressing gown is in a heap on the bench (with Ben on it)

But I think it is just so sweet when all the boys hang out together that I had to share :-) 

Funny Friday

We have such a tiny house that there is essentially no front hall.  Once you come inside from the porch you spill directly into the living room.  This of course makes me nuts and our next house MUST have a front hall, but I digress…

Excuse me but I think I was here first

The non-front hall is not an issue in the summer but winter in Canada is another story.  Robert and I come and go out the back door where we have a sunroom/mudroom with a wardrobe for coats and a runner for dirty boots, but when guests come over they use the front and I take their coats upstairs.   

I'm in heaven!

This Christmas we bought a small mat for the front door so people could wipe their wet or snowy shoes and I figured after the winter is over we would probably just chuck it…how was I to know the cats would LOVE this silly little mat!

You can't ignore me forever Jimmy

It's the funniest thing, they take turns on the mat, covet time on the mat and wrestle each other off the mat.  What is the appeal?  It is an unattractive, cheap, rubber-backed mat from the Costco and you would think it was heated cashmere the way they fuss over it.   

Get lost Ben it's my turn!

The other day I actually saw Jimmy on the mat squirming around on his back (in ecstasy?) with all fours in the air!  I just don’t get it... do you?

Friends on Friday

All five boys...

They sleep in tidy rows don't they?

Sometimes bunched together :-)
