imageedit_1_9833726570Ladies and gentlemen.  I want you to meet someone.  I am here to introduce you to Mr. Cranky Pants.

imageedit_2_9555217843

What are you talking about Hemingway?  And what are those funny letters on my orange furs?

Let me tell you what Mr. Cranky Pants did last night.  When Mom got home from that work place, she opened the door so we could go outside.  She also put food in our dishes so then we had a dilemma.  Go outside or eat?  I think  Mr. Cranky Pants was more interested in going outside, so of course I headed for the food dish.

After supper, when Mom let us both back in the house and closed the door, something happened.

What?

You know what.  You went all crazy whacko on us!!!  You were hissing and spitting and growling and carrying on like an idiot.  I decided to stay away from you, especially after you actually screamed at me!  Mom just stood and stared at you and so did I.

Maybe I got a bad batch of nip.

There’s no excuse for being Mr. Cranky Pants.  Mom didn’t know if she even wanted you sleeping in her room last night, but you finally calmed down.

Maybe I had a bad dream.

You were wide awake.

Well, then it must have been my evil twin!

Well, see to it that you don’t let your evil twin come around here again.

Sunday Selfies

Well, it’s another Sunday and time for a selfie. We decided to use our “gazing outside” pose.

Hemingway, you look so big in this picture!

That’s because you were being lazy and decided to lie down.

Oh.  Next time I’ll sit up so I can look big!

Mom says it’s the fourth anniversary for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.  That’s more years than I’ve lived!

Join our other friends who are celebrating this special day and have a wonderful weekend!  Thanks to our friends at the Kitties Blue house for hosting this so we can meet other fur people and their humans.

Mom said I can be the star today since Little One got to do it yesterday.  We’ve had all sorts of weather today.  We’ve had rain, wind, blue skies, sunshine, clouds.  We did manage to get outside for a bit but we had to time it very carefully!

Here’s my selfie for the first of July.

Steinbeck’s Caturday Art

Mom said I could do the Caturday Art today.  This picture is from the other day when we were all outside playing.  I’m doing my spring dance step.

Steinbeck's Spring Dance Step

Mom played around with it and got this.  She used LunaPic and first she embossed it and then she added some tattoo art effects.

Hello to everyone at the Caturday Art Blog Hop.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Spring, Are You Really There?

Categories Cats, spring, Steinbeck18 Comments on Spring, Are You Really There?

We’ve been kind of quiet this week.  First of all, we got hit by a blizzard last weekend.  Can you believe it?  We didn’t have any blizzards all winter and then in April, here comes a blizzard.  It just doesn’t seem right.

Now we’re finally getting some spring weather.  Hemingway and I spent a lot of time out on the deck with Mom yesterday.  We’re hoping to do the same today.  We can hear birds singing and kids yelling and dogs barking and all sorts of things.

Here’s my selfie for the day.  I wasn’t sure that Spring was really out there so I wasn’t sure I wanted to go outside.  

Thanks to all our buddies who talked to Spring and told her to head to our house!

This and That on a Wednesday Night

Categories Cats, Hemingway and Steinbeck, spring16 Comments on This and That on a Wednesday Night

imageedit_17_9906361773Hemingway, do you think Mom will let us go outside?

Why would you want to go out there, Steinbeck?  It’s still cold. I like being inside where it’s warm.

But that white stuff is disappearing.

Did you hear the wind today?  That wasn’t a warm wind.  I think we should stay inside.

But look what Mom took pictures of tonight when she got home.

imageedit_24_3476357411

Look at all those green things sticking up out of the cold ground?  Do you think they are related to catnip?  Do you think they know catnip and can tell it to start growing?

imageedit_22_8501347221

And look here.  See……..there’s a little bit of color showing.  Doesn’t that mean it’s warm?

imageedit_20_6948764722

And look at that spot of color!  I think that’s gorgeous.  I think I should have a catnip toy made out of that color.  I could really celebrate spring then.

Steinbeck, I think spring got lost.  Even Mom is beginning to wonder if the spring’s GPS stopped working.  She got excited about that little bit of color tonight, but she said it’s going to get cold again.

So does that mean we’re going to have to stay inside the rest of our lives????

If it means not going to the doctor’s house, I’m fine with that.

Mom, we went outside and looked.

We even looked around in the house.

We don’t know what to tell you.

Well, I can tell you that I had nothing to do with it.

We know you’re probably upset that you lost it but there’s nothing we can do.

Honest Mom, we just don’t know what happened.

We didn’t take that hour last night and we don’t know who did.

We hope you can get along without it for now.

Stacks of Wood and Hidey Spots

Categories Cats, Hemingway and Steinbeck16 Comments on Stacks of Wood and Hidey Spots

Big stack of wood

First of all Mom……you focused on the wood and not on me.  Second of all….what’s with all the wood?  You know how I love to chew on wood and this is way more than I can chew!

I found a secret hall

Look!  There’s a little hallway here.  I have a new hidey spot!!

Steinbeck and his wood

MOM!!!  Don’t let Hemingway see my new hidey spot.  Did you just take a picture of it?  Are you going to post it on that blogosphere place?  Now everyone’s going to know where my new hidey space is!

My eyes look like leaves

What hidey spot?  I was busy noticing how the leaves seem to match my eyes!  Steinbeck….leave that wood alone!

Caturday Art

It’s fall here and that means the leaves are falling!  If the leaves stayed on the trees, the season would be stay.

Mom says “stay” to you a lot!

I’m ignoring that.  Anyway, Mom let us go out in the fall today and she took our picture.

what do we see

If you look very carefully, you’ll see me on the ground, under the bush.

Mom took the picture and changed it!

Hemingway, Mom tried to make you orange!!!

But as you see, tuxedos rule!
