Mischief Monday - She Lied - by Hailey and the Lady

Hailey will be in pink
Lady will be in orange

Don't tell Hailey, Maggie and I
went to the park! 

On Thursday, Lady, you left early for work and said "see you tonight". You lied. We didn't see you that night, or the next one. You were gone for 3 whole days!

It wasn't really a lie, I thought I would be home on Thursday but at 4:30 Aunt C asked if I could come over. I was on Maggie patrol for when Troy arrived.

Did you have a suitcase ready?

Yes, I had a suitcase in the car for about a week, just in case.

So you knew you may not be home some night?

Yes, I knew that was a possibility. But I didn't know when. Babies come when they want. If I had known I would have packed more food. This diet away from the house is hard.

I still believe you lied and then you had the audacity to come home smelling not just like baby, and toddler, but like cat. 

Maggie and Panda

I was taking care of your cat cousins Lupul and Panda, of course I smelt like cat.

I am still angry you lied and were gone for 87 million years. The Man doesn't cater to my routine like you do. I hope you got my message that I was angry.

Peeing on one of your beds does send a clear message. 

And what is with the weather? Why did you make it snow?

Hailey, I have nothing to do with the weather, but completely understand why you are angry with it! It was shorts weather yesterday and snow today. Now that Troy is here, I won't be called away again.

Well you have some making up for lying to do. Let's start with extra treats and a belly rub.

Traitors!

No only did our people spend Halloween night with our human cousin, they spent time with our cat cousins, Lupul and Panda. We think it is completely unfair that they got to have cat time, when we so very much miss having a cat. Sigh!

Guest Post - Happy Birthday to Our Cat Cousins

By Aunt C

Happy Birthday to Panda and Lupul!

Just over a year ago, my best friend Lemew died.  It was not a surprise, he had a long life despite some health issues that were pretty easy to manage.

After he died, my husband and I planned to wait until after our wedding to get 2 cats through the humane society, as a wedding gift from a very good friend.   Well, one day, 2 weeks pre-wedding, we were in a store that had some Humane Society cats, and we instantly fell in love with two great ones, Panda, our sweet yet sometimes cranky alpha female of the house, and Lupul, our crazy, skittish little boy.

It’s been almost a year, and they have become such an important part of our lives, we can’t imagine a day without them!

Here’s some more about them:

Panda

Age:  3

Colour:  Black and White (she has the cutest little French tips on her front paws and beautiful markings all over)

Likes:  Cuddles, soft blankets, wet food, boxes, her tunnel, more cuddles

Dislikes:  Other animals – While she tolerates her brother, she has been known to attack small dogs and gets quite upset if other cats are too close to her turf

Lupus

Age:  2

Colour:  Fawn tabby (not quite orange, but almost)

Likes:  Climbing and jumping up on things, FOOD, treat puzzles, playing soccer

Dislikes:  Unsolicited cuddles – but he does love pets and belly rubs on his terms

We’ll be celebrating their birthdays on Sunday with some new toys, a new treat puzzle, and lots of treats and cuddles!!!

Feline Friday - Baggy Going for a walk

The Man got this brilliant idea to put our 18 year old indoor cat out on leash on the weekend. Here is what happened!

Lady will try and fix the video later.

He did try to go right back inside.

It was funny.

Baggy would prefer to stay inside!

Also, we are sorry we didn't get to visit everyone yesterday. Our Lady was a traitor and instead of coming home after work went to Aunt C's to meet our cousins. She says they are delightful, even if they don't photograph well!

A note about our yard: We live on 2 acres. The video was taken at the front and shows the open part on the grass at the front and side. The rest is mostly treed.

Happy Friday!

Black and White Sunday and Exciting!

A bird pooped on Lee's head! It is the first really nice weekend of the year and this happened. The people can't stop laughing at it!

Exciting News:

Several months ago, our cousin Lemew, Aunt C's cat, died at the age of 17. We were all very sad about this. Aunt C said she was going to get new cats but was waiting for her wedding which is now in 2 weeks.  However, yesterday she accidentally found the purrfect new cousins for us at the Humane Society. [We aren't sure it is an accident if you are there looking at cats!]

So we are thrilled to welcome our new cousins to the pack. We can't wait to meet them!

This is Lupul, named after a hockey player keeping with that theme. He is about 1. He is very playful.

This is Princess Panda (our Lady added the Princess part cause she thinks she looks like a princess). She was named by the Humane Society. She is about 3. She is a little bit shy and is not sure how to play with Lupul yet. They have only lived together for less then a day, so we will give them time to adjust.

We are doing yard work most of the day, so we will pop by your blogs this evening.

Mollie: Lady says over the next few weeks she will share more pictures of the house. She has to take them and is lazy this morning cause she got to sleep in. Here is a picture of the outside.
