Happy Catoween!!!!

Categories Cats, Halloween, Hemingway and Shakespeare12 Comments on Happy Catoween!!!!

I thought I would do a Catoween Revisited for today.  This post was from 2014 and there’s my beloved Shakespeare.  Now I see how much bigger he was then Steinbeck is.  However, Steinbeck has tons of Shakespeare’s personality.  Happy Catoween All!!!gr_ith117

It’s Catoween Day and I’m going to go trick or treating for catnip, salmon, crinkly toys and jingle bells.  I don’t like all those silly costumes so I’m just going to wear my crown.

Hey wait a minute!!!!  I was planning on going as a king tonight, too.  Shakespeare, did you get into my supply of crowns again?

I see it’s a case of “monkey see, monkey do”.

Where are the monkeys?  Are they coming with us????  They better not eat any of my treats!!!

Sunday Selfie Up a Tree?

Look!  I’m up in a tree!!

Mom was taking pictures of the maple tree and then thought she should add me.  Sometimes I really wonder about her.  I had no desire to climb that tree.  In the first place, it’s in the front yard and I don’t go out there.  In the second place it was windy and leaves were flying around.  In the third place, I wanted to just take a nap.  Oh well……….

Mom used me for  Caturday Art today.  I was calmly sitting in the doorway watching Hemingway wander around on the deck.  Suddenly there was a bright flash and I heard Mom saying, “Oh Steinbeck, you kept your eyes mostly open.  Good boy!”

Then she started playing around with it and ended up with this!

I think I look kind of spooky but that fits for Halloween.  MOL!

Have a great weekend!

This and That

Why are you insideSteinbeck, won’t you come outside?  I could use your fluffy tail to help Mom paint these windows.  I don’t want to get white on my regal black tail.

Hemingway, nobody is using my tail as a brush!

But look, you already have white in it.  Are you sure you haven’t been in the paint?

imageedit_18_4859700020

I haven’t been in the paint.  I’m too busy checking on all these plants that Mom brought inside.  I guess she thought they were getting lonely so she brought them in so we could keep them company.  Mom is always thinking of others.

And so ends another typical day in our household.  We each seem to do our own things and then we all gather on Mom’s bed at the end of the day.

Hemingway, don’t breathe on me…..you’ll mess my furs!

Happy “Sun” Day, everyone.  I’ve been spending time outside in the sunshine today.  Steinbeck decided it was too windy so he stayed inside.  I stayed outside watching the birdies, the squirrels, and the doggies walking by.  I had a grand old time.  I decided to go with my “Jungle Kitty” shot for my selfie today.  I hope you like it.

Here’s the original:

Mom, why do they call you an Amber Door at work?

Oh Steinbeck, you don’t have it quite right.  I volunteered to help with a new reward program at work.  Those of us who volunteered are called Ambassadors………..not Amber Doors.  It’s a neat program and it gives me a chance to recognize coworkers who are in other countries.  Now we can say thanks to anyone in the company for a great job and everyone can see that thanks through the special recognition board.

Can you recognize kitties?

We don’t have any kitties working for the company.

How about the other humans, do they have kitties?

I know some of them do.

Well, you can recognize those humans for being kind to their kitties.

We’ll see.

Mom?  Can we send Steinbeck to school so he can learn to listen better?

What Does Mom Mean???

Steinbeck, what’s that?

It’s an amber door.

So why are you putting it on our blog?

Mom said that at work she’s an amber door and I just don’t understand.  I thought maybe some of our readers might.

Steinbeck, I’m sure you didn’t hear her right.  MOMMMMMMMM……….are you an amber door?

She says she’s busy and doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

Oh well…………let’s play.

But what about the amber door?

Maybe if our readers tune in tomorrow or the next day, they might find out.

 

 

Oh……….the sun shines bright……..

Categories Cats, Hemingway and Steinbeck14 Comments on Oh……….the sun shines bright……..

………on this cool autumnal day! The scenery is changing, we must say. The leaves they fall and the ducks all fly away……and the ground will soon be frozen hard as ice.

imageedit_1_6652506940

Steinbeck, what on earth are you doing?

I’m singing Mom’s favorite song, “My Old Kentucky Home”.

Why?

Well, that’s where she was born and she likes it and it makes her think of her dad who was also born there.

I meant, why are you singing, but more importantly…..those aren’t the words.

I’m being creative.

imageedit_4_7426985636

Oh give me a home, where the carrots grow tall……..where the catnip still grows in the fall……..where bunnies and squirrels don’t tease me at all……..and the sunshine still warms all my furs…………

Hemingway?????????

If you can do it, so can I.

Happy Caturday, everyone.

We have sunshine!!!

It’s been forever since we’ve seen the sun shining.  We’re all loving this bright light.

It’s about time someone changed the batteries so the sun could shine again.

So, Mom took this picture of us and turned it into this piece of art for the Caturday Blog Hop.

We hope you like it!  Mom thinks it shows we must be related ‘cuz some of my ginger furs seem to leak over into Hemingway’s furs.

We are NOT related.  I’m a Tuxedo and I’m regal.  You’re a Ginger and you’re crazy.
