Friday Flashback

This flashback is from December 2010 and it was titled

FORMERLY FERAL FRIDAY 

No greater love does a Mom have than taking down her beautiful Christmas tree two years ago a week after it went up and giving the tree, lights and garland away...

...because her sweet, baby feral kitten, Laila, was terrified of it and wouldn't go into any room it could be seen from.

Well, this year she decided to try a little 2 1/2 foot tree. Mom was in the recliner when Laila jumped up next to her. Laila soon spotted the tree and within a minute tore out of the room, terrified. So, the next morning Mom took the tree away. She carried Laila, freaking out all the way, to the desk to show her the tree was gone. Then put her on the floor where Laila ran around looking all over to see what the tree had gone to. Satisfied that it was gone, she was a happy little girl once again. Now Mom is stuck with dozens and dozens of cat ornaments.

So, that's why we don't have a Christmas tree.

Toesie Tuesday

 

Minchie loves to hide under the bed and attack the unsuspecting toys that happen by.

 



 

No toy is safe from the clutches of Minchie's paws!

Mancat Monday/2000th Post!

 

OMC!  Would you believe this is our 2000th post!  What started out as Mom's blog back in April of 2007 slowly was taken over by...

 



...Cerise(RIP) and Lilly(RIP).  We have met so many wonderful friends, humans and kitties, over the 5 1/2 years!  We treasure each and every friendship.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

 

Sorry, Mom, but it looks like the bed is not getting made today.  This is where we are spending our Easy Sunday.  And please stop blinding us with that flashy box!

Photo Hunt - Fall

 

Today's theme is fall. 

When drinking water out of the sink, our tails are necessary to help with our balance so we don't fall in.

TTT Tote on Tuesday

We were so excited when we won the Tiniest Tiger Tote bag contest over at Goma's blog!

Laila checking out how well made the tote is.

 



Hey, Minchie, come over and see this beautiful tote we won for Mom!

OMC!  It is gorgeous!

Mom has already used it and just loves it!  Thank you Goma and Triple T Studios!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

 

Feel free to come join Minchie this Easy Sunday.  He'll even share his floofy tail with you.

Resting Outside the Box

 Normally Laila is inside her Costco box resting her head on those very uncomfortable sides.

 

Very strange little girl was caught sleeping outside her box.

Friday Flashback

Today's flashback is from December 2009 and was titled Three On Thursday 

Angel always seems to have his laser eyes on when mom takes a picture. He thinks he's helping with the lighting. Minchie is practically blind from the flash and Laila refuses to even look.

Thankful Thursday

 

Minchie is thankful for his leopard print tent to keep him nice and snuggly warm on those cold Chicago winter days.

Wordless Wednesday

Tail Tuesday

 

Laila's floofy tail helps her keep her balance as she drinks from the sink.

Mancat Monday

This is some gigantical sun puddle Minchie has found!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

 

There are many days Mom's bed doesn't get made.  Today happens to be one of them.  Have an Easy Sunday everyone!

 

We would like to thank all the brave men and women who have served in the military protecting us and our freedom over the years. And a special thank you for those currently serving in these very troubling times. Without your unselfish bravery, we would not be able to enjoy the freedom our country affords us.
