Hope you had a nice Christmas. It seems like last year about this time I was saying this isn’t going to turn into a cat blog because I was posting cat pictures for several days. Well, it still isn’t going to be a cat blog but I guess cats and Christmas are synonymous to me. These are our 3 indoor cats, Google (who has been featured a lot lately), Marbles (the black and white cat), and Abbey (the other tabby, first photo in the second row).
The little helicopter was a silly gift I gave Tony, meant to be flown indoors, even though it crashes into everything. I’m not sure how much he liked it but Google really likes it and it’s fun to watch him try to catch it. The other 2 are not that impressed and find it a little annoying.
It’s raining again now and is going to get very cold tomorrow night for here (30 degrees). I always feel bad about the 11 outdoor cats we’ve accumulated from other people moving away and dumping them. Most of the time, the weather is pretty mild here in the winter but when it’s cold, they have to cuddle together for warmth. Here are a few of them huddled up the other day. We have several covered areas for them to get out of the rain and several bedding areas but they don’t all use them. It’s very cute when several snuggle together, though.
I know the weather is miserable many places right now in the U.S. so, comparatively speaking, things aren’t bad here and these guys don’t have it as bad as outdoor cats in other parts of the country but they still look a little unhappy.
Keep safe and warm as we end 2010…
Above was our Christmas card this year. The photo was from last year, courtesy of Google.
We had some rain which made it feel a little more Christmas-y around here. You know, high 60s in the day, high 40s at night, brrrr, sweater and jacket weather.
Have a Merry Christmas, if you celebrate it!
Fortunately, Google (featured in my last post) and the other cats haven’t been this bad but they do find the tree and decorations very interesting. I’ve got to spend my spare time the next few evenings finishing up the wrapping and buying the 2 more gifts I need…see you soon…
Here are the indoor cats last year on Christmas Day.
Google…
Marbles…
Abbey…
In order to arrive at a lit and decorated Christmas tree, we had this kind of help…
But it got done…as well as most of the shopping, a lot of the wrapping, all of the shipping. Next on the list are the Christmas cards. Hope your holiday preparations are coming along smoothly, too.
The weather outside is frightful…
Well, okay, here it’s DE-lightful…(sorry)
Let it snow! Let it snow, let it snow. Not here, though.
(Listen to the song above.)
