Cats

Queen Munchkin here,Last night Bob and Monika decided they were going to catch up on their TV shows instead of playing on the computer, so Princess Ashlyn and I got on the couch with Bob sitting to either side of him. Then Princess Boots came up and looked pouty because there was no room for her to sit, but Bob picked her up , put her in his lap, and started giving her soft pets. She relaxed quickly and wound out falling asleep in his lap.

The cat lets Man support her. But unlike the dog, she is no handlicker. Furthermore, unlike Man's other great good friend the horse, the cat is no sweating serf of Man. The only labor she condescends to perform is to catch mice and rats, and that's fun. - Vance PackardHiYa, Ducky here. Another week starts, we had a good weekend, we hope you did too. We had warms and the windows were wide open for whiffing!Mum was so bizzy cleaning, laundry shuffling and such, she didn't take pictures of us. She did however see a new fevver she has never seen afor on Sunday. Mum says it is a Scarlet Tanager and while she took it a bit easy on Sunday afternoon, it came by and sat in the tree for a bit. Mum was trying to get fevver pictures, so she had the fancy flashy box outside with her. The one with the big zoomer lens, so it looks all close.So Derby and I napped a lot inside by the open windows, mum was outside with the flashy box and her book. Not a bad day overall.

It was a mumster Monday here at Chez Q. After working all weekend, mum and I finally got to sleep in, at least til 8.30am when the bin men arrived to empty the bins and make lots of clattering noise. Mum had thought of going out for the day, but as the mail only bought bills, her budgetising told her to stay home and make the most of the day. After a bit of rain, the sun came out, so mum pottered around the garden picking up leaves, then she attempted to tidy up the lounge and kitchen (almost finished). The shower needed a clean, so mum did that between watching lots of stuff on the DVR. Before dinner, she even hemmed her new pyjamas to shorty length, which made her happy. She had gone and got some more thread and denim needles, and is going to attempt to hem some jeans this week - wish her luck!!!So leftovers are in the oven and I have had my feast and am in bed already (its 6.10pm here). Mum thinks that she can give herself a few dollars tomorrow to have a treat, but she has to be aware of the budgetising and so no shopping will be allowed.Hope you are all enjoying your Monday too!!!

The guest room has now been emptied of all but a few boxes, this dresser and a lamp.   I had pulled the dresser drawers out and moved them into my room, thinking to fill them with sweaters, towels, linens ~ those soft things acceptable to movers.  When I came back, intending to move the dresser into my room ... well ... t'was not to be, at least not at that moment ... but no complaints.

Momma...did you know that it was our Gotcha Day on Sunday? Yes, dear Cory, I would never forget. Mom and dad didn't forget either. They fussed and told us how they can't believe it's been 7 years since we came into their lives. They said we made everything better. Just by being us. Of course mom pulled out our Gotcha Day pictures. I remember being so comfortable when we arrived that we just settled into the couch for a nice nursing session. Silly Cory, you nursed until you were 5 months old. I can't believe I was that tiny. You know if I could get away with it, I'd still nurse. purrrrrr Mother and daughter. Together forever.
