Cat in the manger?

From ancient Greek literature: "There was a dog lying in a manger who did not eat the grain but who nevertheless prevented the horse from being able to eat anything either." So ... is Audace acting like a dog in the manger here? Sure looks like it!! He doesn't seem to want to share those S-toys with anyone ... not even with his brother!!

Looking around ... making sure ...

Ahhhh, coast is clear ...

Nope! There's my bro ...

And sure enough ... there's Ruse, wondering why Audace isn't sharing with him!

Purrs and Prayers for Annie

Please get well soon, Annie, and make your family very happy

to have you home, happy and healthy.

A VERY unusual event!

After posting that Grace won't have anything to do with Audace ... won't cuddle with him or anything ... they made a liar out of me the other night. Wouldn't you know!!!

It just HAS to be that magic blankie!!

Turning up their noses!

They bug me and bug me ... and then when I offer them some (chicken salad, this time), they turn up their noses! Funny little souls!!

Grace


Ruse

Huge thanks!!

Thank you to everyone who posted birthday wishes last week -- and to the whole CatBlogosphere for the lovely gifts. Grace & Company had to check out the box before it was opened, as well as the wrapped gifts inside!

The card enclosed with the wrapped boxes is amazing. So perfect!

Ceramic apples and a darling little bear with his winter scarf on!

And some beautiful ceramic sea shells/dishes and tiny shells in a mesh bag. Absolutely beautiful!

Again, thanks to everyone. It was a wonderful birthday ... in fact, a wonderful birthday week!!

More snoozin'

It hasn't been very warm lately, and this is how Grace and boys spend their evenings.

Grace won't cuddle up with Audace, though ... ever!

She and Ruse are most often snoozin' like this.

Audace will cuddle up with Ruse at times, but mostly he snoozes by himself. I can tell when he's REALLY tuckered out -- his head is at some angle of "upside-down"!!

I know I need to work on getting more action shots.

Gotta keep the camera out all the time instead of just some of the time!!

Happy Birthday!! =)

Happy HAPPY birthday to Judi, Sammy and Andy's mom!

Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate!

We just know that Sammy

and Andy

will be giving Mom Judi all their purrs and love today.

Stop on by and wish her HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy New Year ... and another hole in my screen!

On Nov 18, 2010, I posted photos of the hole in one of my screens -- courtesy of an outside kitty and all of mine "fighting" through the window!

Click here to see the original photos ~~>THERE'S A HOLE IN MY SCREEN!

Now it's clear this has continued, even when I haven't been aware of it. Now that hole is MUCH larger and there's a second one. Arrrggggghhhhhhhh!

So Happy 2011 to all of us ... with the promise of more holes to come! I think I'll just leave that screen there and maybe the big guy will leave the others alone!!
