Phew that was some Christmas!

It's been a couple weeks of turkey scraps, treats both soft and crunchy galore and plenty of new toys to totally ignore.

We even got a cool new litter box that looks like an igloo! As though playing in there wasn't already fun! It has a slide inside and everything!!!

Got another fresh water bowl...I don't know how those humans make the water move in there but it sure beats batting at the old bowl. I sure was missing the old one when it started coughing and not moving the water months ago.

I managed to make it 2/3 the way up the tree this year, a purrsonal best! Plus I got bonus points for breaking a really ugly and dangly ornament of a dog hanging up in there.

The crew and I have been lazing around for the last two weeks when we weren't playing with empty present boxes and chasing new crinkle balls (I KNEW IT!), Patches even got a whole new pack of fuzzy mice, which are now all hiding under the stove with the last ones. I wonder if we can get a tiny mouse sized cat next year to chase those things out of there. I think they are up to something gathering in the safety of numbers and all.

I hope all you cats and kittens out there were spoiled beyond reason as well and had a Merry Christmas.
I'm gonna go watch the snow cover up the windows. It's funny watching my nannybug trying to bat it away to look out.

Meowy Christmas!

Ok so it's officially Christmas Eve but I'm anticipating a certain human giving me some nip tomorrow for Christmas and you don't want to see my typing on that stuff!

How about a couple of pictures?

This is me, posing for a photo with Santa. I somehow thought he'd be...bigger.

And of course every tree needs an angel on top so here is Toby sporting his wings.
Not that he's a real angel, or that he actually sits on top the tree...what does he do again?


I am anticipating a lot of fun tomorrow. I've been looking for hidden pressies all week and I know the smell of treats quite well, really you'd think they'd know by now. Hello, cat! Superior smelling power. Spooky just tried to tell me it has something to do with old factories...I wonder about him at times, really.
I even thought I heard the distinctive crunch of another crinkle ball in one of the bags but someone tied it shut and I couldn't very well rip it open when there's always a human around to come running and bust me.
A great many ornaments have been knocked from the tree and I am really exhausted from the effort. And kinda frustrated; none of them broke. Apparently the bottom half of the tree is covered in non breaking ornaments.
Who knew humans could learn stuff?
The top half still has the breakable kind though and that sounds like a challenge to me.

I hope all you cats, kittens and humans (because you bring us food and all) have a very Merry Christmas.
As for Santa, I'm keeping an eye out for you.

Welcome me back, cause here I am!

Despite the rumors, MY BUTT DID NOT FREEZE TO THE WINDOW SEAT!

I was just, thinking. Thinking about what snow tastes like. Yup, it's called SNOW Patches not "s'noooo" good try though, for a bratty sister.

I was also thinking that Christmas is coming soon, which means the humans are gonna bring us a tree to play with and pile funny boxes (some which smell like treats) underneath it like little steps for those of us less than agile who can't scale the base.

Not that I had any problems my very first year. I brought that tree to it's knees and had the branches stretched out to hold me up, even if I had to knock a few things out of it in the process.
Why do the humans fill those things with so many dangly toys, I mean I only have 4 paws, I can't possibly knock em all down in the few weeks the tree is up. Not that I didn't give it a valiant effort. I can't wait for the fun to begin!

Hmm I really do need to introduce more of the crew, at this point it's getting quite ridiculous so I'll do a quick one right here and now.

Her name is Missy, (nickname Missy Moo Moo).
She is quite beautiful and quite willing to bite my ears off if I didn't tell you that. I happen to like my ears. She is one tough cat for such an decpetively dainty looking feline. I don't mess with her unless I'm feeling that lovely catnip buzz that makes a cat far too brave and far too stupid.

I am told by the older cats that Missy was rescued from an empty lot next to a garage of all places *looks around for missy, doesn't spot her* HA! *looks around again nervously* that was run by a cat hater.
She was removed from the area to save her life and I think also to intimidate every cat that came after her for good measure.

She has her cool moments, like when she spared my tail when I accidentally bumped into her one day and I think every crew needs a surprize attacker to defend the home territory from intruding cats and those horrible, horrible dogs.
Missy loves her attention and has many traits in common with my sister Patches (oh joy) and always arrives first for treat time (most of us have learned that claws don't really do well with a pile of treats).

Basically around here there are three girls(Patches, Missy and Mimi) who make it their job to act like they control the rest of us.
Us guys know better, when you know they aren't around to swipe at us.
I'm sooo not gonna be overrun by my bratty sister that's for sure!
