The lovely Millie at Millie's house gave us the Life is Grand award. Thank you Millie!
Here are the rules:
1. Give five reasons why you think life is grand. 2. Pass the award on to five more blogs. Here are five reasons we think Life is Grand:
1. Mommy loves us more than anything and we love her 2. Orijen cat food. It has made our coats ridiculously soft 3. The Ball Guy and his boundless energy when he's looking for cat toys under the sofa. 4. Catnip 5. Mommy's home full-time for another 3 weeks!
We see that a lot of people have this award so we'll just let anyone take it if they don't have it!
Unfortunately I don't have another installment of my Tortie Tuesday Lessons this week because Mommy is at a point in her recovery where she has trouble sitting for a length of time to help me post. She said the first two weeks, she felt more comfortable sitting than anything else but that changed in the last few days. She promised me we would do another lesson next week so hopefully she'll be feeling better by then.
Mommy's been lying in bed reading a lot during her recovery. I will not put up with it! Every time she opens a book, here I am. I'm far too cute for her to get mad at and she usually just falls asleep before she can protest too much.
Thank you to all who voted for me. Boo was definitely a worthy opponent. I have a feeling the next round is going to be even tougher (if that's possible)! I will need to rest up and get my beauty sleep this weekend to prepare.
Delilah is not impressed - she still thinks I looked like a rat when I was a kitten! At least she loves me now (I hope).
Special thanks to the wonderful Misha for hosting this contest. I'm having a lot of fun!
Have a great weekend all of my non-furry and furry friends!
It is getting warm enough for the balcony window to be open again so Samson and I have been at our posts soaking up the smells and sounds of a thawing city. We don't have a great view here but we can smell and hear everything! Mommy laughs at us because she thinks our noses look like bunny noses while we try to inhale as much of the smells as we can.
The screen is a little beat up because Samson still tries to climb it and he's busted through it a few times. Mommy doesn't want him on the balcony (or me, for that matter) because there's an adjoining balcony with a sheet of metal that separates it and there's space for a cat to get under to the neighbors. The neighbor doesn't like cats (what's wrong with her?) so Mommy doesn't want us over there. Plus, we're pretty high up and because we're still young, she doesn't know if we'll try to balance along the balcony edge. Her old cat, Muddy was allowed out there but she said he couldn't jump up to the top of the balcony if he tried!
Here's a video of Samson trying to burst through the screen again. There's a little bit of swearing near the end when the Ball Guy watches our reaction to a seagull squawking (Mommy has to learn more about editing video). If you're offended by that type of stuff, keep the volume down. Samson still thinks he's a kitten and that old screen will not hold out long against his big body!
Speaking of Samson thinking he is still a kitten, he is competing in the Kitty Fight Club competition and today is the last day to vote for his round. Personally, I'm a little offended that Mommy didn't enter me in the contest but I'll let it slide this time.
