Loki's new favorite bed and Aslan's new job

Loki loves a good cozy bed. Mom and Dad were in Atlanta a few weekends ago and brought us this bed back. Loki took to it immediately and has loved sleeping in it.

He is so cute. I love how he is peeking over the floof of the bed. It makes Mom very happy to have a cat who actually sleeps in the beds they buy us. 

Also, Mom bought us a new Fish Taco Food Truck scratcher from Target. Aslan claimed it right away, and he's been sleeping all stretched out on the top of it the entire day.

I think he's going to get put to work if he stays this cute in the Taco Truck.

That's about all she can take

Some days you just can't go any longer and you just need to find your favorite cat bed and sleep.


Here's Maggie in her favorite bed. (I would have sworn this was bought for me to replace a really ragged box that I had to give up -- but now it's pretty much Maggie's). You can see she's covering her eyes from the light so she can sleep a little longer. It's not easy being a little sister some days.

Happy cat

If you've ever wondered what a happy cat looks like, it looks something like this:


Maggie loves her cat bed, especially since it has a blanket in it too. Win-win!

Restful Maggie

We like when Maggie is sleeping -- it means that she's not chasing us. She loves on Huggy Bear, but likes to torment me, and really loves to torment Josie. Soit is a good thing to see her sleeping like this...


This is a new sleeping pose for her. She's turtling, with a chin rest.

Purrs needed, and Josie in the cat bed

Please send purrs for Mom. She has been up in Ohio this weekend with her uncle and his family. He is ill and on hospice care and Mom went to say goodbye. So please purr for Uncle Billy and that he is out of pain and at peace. Mom will be on the road home Monday. We've missed her, but are so glad that she could be up there to help out.

Now for some happiness. This is a rare sight...

Dad brought Josie upstairs to get loved on and Josie found her way over to the cat bed. Josie has been spending most of her time curled up on the couch downstairs, so it was a treat for Dad to see her curled up in the cat bed.


Maggie even came over and loved on Josie for a minute and licked her head. But since Maggie usually wrassles with Josie this quickly turned into hissing and growling from Josie.

Seventh Blogoversary!

Oh my goodness ... did I really catnap through my own blogoversary?!? How does that happen? Yes, my beans have been selfish and have been hogging the computer and not helping me blog. Scooby, Shaggy and Scout hit it right on the head when they said my beans had been slacking. All this week I had a feeling that there was something I was forgetting, too.

Thanks for all the nice blogoversary comments. I can't believe I've been at this for seven years now (as of 10/25). Sure, I know I haven't been as active as I once was, and I plan on changing that. I was just reflecting that other day on some of the wonderful cat friends who aren't around anymore -- specifically Buzzerbee and Meep, and Bonnie Underfoot. You have all touched our lives more than you probably understand, and offer a welcoming escape from life's wear and tear. Thank you all.

By the way, yesterday was Dad's 10 year anniversary of graduating from chiropractic school and he forgot that too, so it's not just us...

And to make up for missing my own blogoversary, he's some pictures:


Maggie found both the cat bed and a ray of sunshine at the same time. Really, what more could a cat ask for?


We had sticky little people in the house last weekend with heavy feet and grabby hands. All they wanted to do was to love on us, and all we wanted to do was run the other way. I got hissy, which is not like me at all. Josie was actually very tolerant, and even let the four-year-old try to carry her. (She looked like Penelope, the little girlfriend of Pepe-le-Pew, being squeezed and over-loved.) This is Josie enjoy the peace and quiet after Gracie and Clara Ann left. We love the extra treats we get, but appreciate the silence more.

Halloween is coming up. Everyone be careful with the trick-or-treaters out there.

Tabby Tuesday

We had a perfect box by the window in Mom and Dad's room. Sure, it was getting pretty ratty and broken down. But that's when they are the best. But Mom decided we needed a cat bed there instead.


Maggie was the early adopter of the cat bed. I would tip toe around it at first. It did take the spot of my favorite box, after all. But I did take a nap in it this weekend and it's really not all bad. Mom is having issues with it now, because Maggie is choosing to sleep in the cat bed at night instead of curled up with Mom.
