Audace begs to play

Audace was BEGGING to play the other night. Funny boy!

Charlotte, in New York

My son and family have a beautiful little tabby named Charlotte. This morning, she greeted me by rolling around on the big ottoman that is her favorite place from which to watch everything that happens in the house!  She is VERY beautiful and loving. 

Charlotte made the move with the family from California to New York in 2006. She adjusts very well to changes like that ... and she has been very much involved in raising a little girl (now 10 years old) and a puppy (a Cava-Poo) who was born in 2008. She is a VERY accomplished cat, indeed.

Grace and babies --

-- almost six years ago!!

Thank you, again and again, Auntie Deb and Mommie ML!

We love you!

NOW they get it!!

It took a few days, but they finally get it -- who should sleep in which bed, just as I intended!

Both Audace and Ruse woke up for a minute or so ... how cooperative of them, right? They had no trouble going back to sleep, though!!

And Grace ... ahhhhh! She has her bed back ... no "boys" trying to take over!

Unappreciated presents?

I bought a new fleece throw and two more of those nice soft beds like Grace's (which her boys take over periodically!), so that all could stake out their own favorites -- but nooooooooooo! They all still want Grace's. So right now, Audace has taken it over, Ruse is on top of the couch, and Grace is in my room. The two new ones are empty. I guess I'll have to take some catnip to them or something.

Here are photos from last night ~ after dinner they all like to be near each other, even though they each like to be "the Lone Ranger" during most days. Grace is on HER bed with the new fleece throw on it; Audace is in the new bed next to her; and Ruse is trying to get close, but not IN the other new bed. What a dork he can be!!

Crazy Audace on New Year's Eve

... all that 'nip, you know!!

I had to turn on my flash to get these three!
