Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Gotta be touching!

Audace likes to sleep on top of the couch with at least one front leg and paw stretched out ... and it's even better when his brother is there to stay in contact with!

Purring for Flynn

Our beautiful friend across the pond is in need of lots of purrs and prayers right now. 

We hope everyone out there will join us as we pray and paw-pat for his return to excellent health ... and lots more photos of his explorations in that wonderful yard/garden he gets to roam around in!

Our sweet cousin Cabernet, aka Cabbie

Our mom's daughter and her husband took their oldest cat, Cabernet, age 17, to the vet on the 15th and learned he was in acute renal failure. They opted for him to go to The Bridge instead of continuing to fail so rapidly on his own.

We'll all miss you, Cabbie. Such a beautiful and loving guy.

We are lonely!!

We are very sad because our mom has been away from home since mid-June. Her girl has told us why, but we still miss her something fierce! Grace thinks she's stuck here with her two boys, but we all love it when mom's girl comes to feed us and play with us and just keep us company.

Her girl told us that our mom's mom had fallen and broken a very important bone. Our mom has been staying at her brother's while they make the arrangements needed for mom's mom's care and where she will live.

Here are some photos of all of us ... while we wait for our mom to get back home.

So ... we're just waiting ... trying to be patient!
But we're being very well cared for by mom's girl!!

Box Day ... or not!

Out of the 7 kittehz in our family (close and extended), only one seems to like being in a box on a regular basis! Strange behavior!!

Grace prefers a stack of newly washed and dried towels!

Charlotte prefers her kitty afghan!

But Kitty!! Kitty loves to snooze in his box, which is only about 3 feet away from Anne's desk chair. She works at home, so Kitty can be sure of nice, long, uninterrupted snoozes as she works!

Meezers! Show your colors!!

We think that ginger cats and meezers are some of the most beautifully colored kittehz in the world!! I hope everyone else is posting gorgeous photos of themselves to celebrate all our little jewels!

8th Gotcha Day!!

Today is Grace, Audace, and Ruse's 8th Gotcha Day!! I'm so glad we all found each other!!

Here's a link to some fantastic photos (skip the first post!!), taken in the first days and weeks after they moved in with me ... and my grandkids!

First days in Forever Home!

{{{HUGS!}}}

Grace and Audace and Ruse get lots of hugs EVERY day! They may or may not welcome them, but they get 'em, nevertheless!! 

However, whenever I'm hugging a cat, there's no one to take a photo or two!!

Happy 9th Birthday to our beautiful Grace!

Happy HAPPY birthday to our lovely Momma Grace! 

Grace now lives a pretty soft life, which she has definitely earned! Here are some of my favorite pix of her over the past year. 

At the v-e-t during her latest check-up!

Watching Bird TV!!

Sleepy momma cat!

On her favorite red blankie!

Innovative placement of her ham-mick!!

Blogoversary?

We usually forget our blogoversary! Why? Well, because the blog was begun by our precious Aunties ML and Deb when Momma Grace and her babies still needed forever homes! Here's a link to the second post ... which was the first post with photos!

Enjoy! I certainly enjoy having Momma Grace and two of her boys as my roommates!!

8th B'day for Audace and Ruse!

Happy #8 to Audace and Ruse!

(And congrats to MommaGrace for surviving all that stuff!)

Brothers to the end!!!

Mutual bath time! 

Audace 

Usually together, especially for snoozes 

 Ruse

Brothers on their new blankie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOYS!

Checking out the new blankie

Here's Grace, checking out the new kittie blankie ... and then she went back to her own. This one must not have smelled quite right yet!!

Ruse and Audace discover the car!

Ruse has been showing curiosity about the inside of the car (and one day, the inside of the trunk!), so this morning I opened the door to see how far inside he and Audace would wander. They were in there a good half hour. Made me laugh!!

 Ruse, after inspecting the back seat 

 Ruse, sitting pretty ... and very proud of himself!

 More inspecting ...

 Audace, checking out the side of the front passenger seat ... silly!

Audace, after inspecting the footwells of the back seats. There must be some REALLY good stuff back there, as it took him a while!

I can see, though, that I'll have to be really careful about driving into the garage. Since they now show no fear of the car, I'm afraid for them. I guess I'll have to park outside, then feed them, then pull into the garage while they're busy eating!!

Bird TV renders them silent!

Watching the birdies out the window is FAR more interesting than hovering and meowing for their dinner!!

Happy birthday to our food lady!!

Thank you, Grace and Ruse, for remembering!

Where's Audace? Oh, yes ... he's busy eating!!
