Maggie's tuffet

Maggie has re-discovered her tuffet. Mom thought this would be a big hit when she first found it. But we hardly paid any attention to it. That is until it got placed up in the corner to get it out of the way briefly. Now Maggie loves it -- almost too much since she's not snuggling with Mom at night as much.

Maggie Monday

The weekend weather cleared up by Sunday and we actually got to enjoy a nice sunny day.


Maggie loves to sleep on the tuffet when the sun is coming in and making a nice warm spot for her. I think she'll have more days like this very soon.

Mancat Monday

Is the weekend gone already? I didn't get a chance to blog or visit or comment or anything. I've really got to talk to Mom and Dad about this.


Maybe I should have spent less time sleeping on the tuffet and more time reminding Mom and Dad that we needed to be blogging. We did do a lot of snuggling with Mom and Dad this weekend, which was nice and long overdue. I even slept on Dad's chest ever so briefly, which I've never done before (I still prefer his pillow, though).

Tabby Tuesday

Mom and Dad moved the tuffet upstairs, and we had such a pretty day Sunday that the window was open and Maggie enjoyed some rays on her tuffet.


She tried all stretched out. She thought this was pretty good.


She tried it laying on her back. She liked this, but figured it wasn't very lady-like.


In the end, she curled up on her side and let the sun warm her while she napped. She's really liking her tuffet, but is following the rules and slept at Dad's feet last night.

Finally Friday

Yes, it is Finally Friday, and it looks like Mom may be clocking out a little early because she's close to 40 hours and doesn't want to go over, which means that Dad will run some errands after work, then get Mom and come home to be with us!

Last night Mom and Dad stopped by Sam's to get some essentials like bread and milk, and they came home with an unessential but very nice prize for us -- a giant pet bed tuffet! (I'm ignoring the big dog on the label because I know this was truly meant for cats to enjoy.) Mom has wanted a tuffet for a long long time, and finally gave in. They were torn between the one they bought and another, so maybe we'll end up with two!


At first it took some investigating by us. This is not the kind of thing you rush into.


Huggy Bear did some sniffing.


I gave is a good sniff, too.


Josie walked on it briefly.


Dad used Orange Mouse to entice Maggie onto the tuffet.


Dad also tried to coax Josie onto the tuffet by putting a familiar blanket on it, which worked for a little while.


Eventually, Maggie, as expected, was the first to accept the tuffet and make a warm curly-up spot on it. Mom's only rule is that the tuffet is a daytime sleeping spot, and one of us must still snuggle on her feet at night.
