Sophie: HI der friends! Happy lazy Sunday. Here I am in a cube that's suppose to be apart of a cat tree. Mom never put the thing together because the quality of the wood looked so cheap.  Jake and I love this cube though. We play "I'm going to bite you if you don't get out of that cube". The big cats sometimes stand on top of it and play with which ever kitten is inside. It is a fun place to hang out. 

Bye-bye, see you around the blogosphere. Thanks for stopping by.

You Found Me!

Shhhhh, please don't tell anyone you've found me. I'm hiding from my brothers and sisters. Sometimes a girl just needs some alone time.

Hi there friends! This is a picture of me on my new snuggle. It was made for me by my new friends', Camie's Kitties, mom. Can you believe she made five of these, one for each of us and sent them to us with a bunch of toys and treats just out of the goodness of her heart? We really like laying out on them especially when there's a chill in the air. Do you see the fluffy blue trim? There were two of those and three with pink trim. And we just happen to be two boy kitties and three girl kitties here. We're lucky to have friends like Camie's Kitties. Thank you Cody, Tavi, Tiki and Camie's mom! You're a very good snuggle maker! Oh and thank you for the toys and treats! You're the best. 

Jake's Hammock

This is a picture of me in my new hammock. Mom bought it just for ME because I often get chased of the big people's bed at night by Cookie. Since it is MINE, ALL MINE, no other cat better go near MY bed. Because it is MINE, MINE, just MINE. In this picture, I'm looking at my sister, Sophie. I'm giving her my back off, You. I see you eyeing my new soft sleeping spot. If you know what's good for you, you'll hop up on the people bed and curl up over there. There is no room for you here and besides this is MINE, ask Mom.

 

If you see anycat near my hammock, shoo them away for me please. I don't think they'll dare, because I've told them all to stay away.

"Oh this is comfy! That Jake can kiss my fluffy tail, if he thinks I'm going to stay out of this hammock. Brothers!" :::shaking her head:::.

I'm in the doghouse!

I was put in time out last night. By my own mother! Yes, I pounced on Kali. Yes, I meant to hurt her. But what Mom doesn't understand is that she was threatening my other sister, Cookie. Now I have been putting up with a LOT lately from that old sister of mine. She is constantly in my face telling me that I'm not the head cat, when everyone knows that's just a lot of bull. But when I heard her mouthing off at Cookie, I lost my patience. I've always protected her from Kali as long as she has been here. Another thing is that no kitty here gets along with her. She's mean to everyone except Mom. 

So today my plan is to stick close to Mom and show her how loving I can be. As soon as she leaves the house, I'm going to pounce that big sister again. But please don't tell mom, I don't need to be locked away again.

We're Back for a Visit, at least.

Three cheers for my aunt Ruth, who has lent Mom her work laptop while mom 's is being fixed. 

Auntie is also a teacher who's on vacation this week. Auntie's district distributes laptops to each teacher. Mom wishes her district could afford to do the same. Of course, since Mom has a habit of cracking laptop screens, perhaps it's best that she doesn't have a work laptop. There is finally a little good news regarding mom's computer. When she took it in to get fixed yesterday, one of the Apple employees recommended taking to a third party repair place, which Mom didn't even know existed. After calling them, she was quoted a price a little bit more than half of what Apple wanted for the same job.  Not only that, but the shop promise a 24 hour turn around. Whoo, Hoo! This is VERY good news. The store is a bit far away, but Mom's heading over there as soon as the traffic dies down.          

On to more important topics--US! Mom put together Jake's hammock and he loves it. What Mom? Later? Please forgive my mom's bad manners. She now "claims" that she has to run and take her computer to the repair shop, before the big machines stop up the freeways. Since it's our computer too and Mom says that it means more cuddle time in the long run, we're allowing her to post this without our news. Don't worry, we'll make sure she lets us back on here soon.

Bye, bye! We can't wait to get to your blogs and read them. It's been so hard being away from you all for this long.

Love,

Tyler and Sibs

Uh-oh!

I think it was just last month that I wrote about how Mom had destroyed her laptop by spilling water on it. Well, after spending quite a lot of money to fix it, she opened it this morning to find the screen cracked. And this is her third cracked screen within a two year period. We think the laptop may have dropped off of the recliner onto the carpeted floor when Cookie jumped down from the recliner. It was in it's protective case...but it wasn't the super-duper thick case that Mom bought after the last cracked screen. The one she swore she would use faithfully, until it arrived from Amazon and she felt how heavy the thing was....

Mom is feeling extremely stupid, careless and persecuted by the bad Macbook karma fairy. She also wishes she had asked Camie's mom (of Camie's Kitties) who wrote a comment saying that she had insurance covering her computer. Mom now really wants to know where does one get computer insurance. Is it part of home insurance? She asked our local Mac genius at the Mac store in the mall and he said that maybe it was conected to making the computer purchase with a credit card that offered such insurance. Now that would have been a smart move.

Mom hasn't figured out what she's going to do exactly about buying a new computer or having the old one fixed. Needless to say, we may not be around at all for the next week. Mom's going on vacation from work and that's where her current computer is located. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

There is so much to post about and so little time. Mom will post again tomorrow to tell of happier news. Right now we have to get going. Hugs and headbutts to all of our friends. We hope to convince her to just get that new computer, right now.
