Cold Again

Winter just keeps blowing through here. Snow and rain last night kept us shivering. Had to bundle up in MM's big chair and pull the fuzzy blanket up around us. Hope all of our friends are staying comfy and safe, and are ready to celebrate the New Year.

Quiet Christmas

We had a quiet little Christmas morning with just MM, MD, and me. I got lots of fun tissue paper to play with. There will be a family Christmas on New Years day but I won't get to go to that one!
Last night MM and MD came home and were in a very quiet sad state. Their sister-in-law was in a very serious accident. Please remember her in your prayers. She is going to have a very long recovery ahead of her.
May you all have a blessed New Year.

Merry Monday

What a furry nice start to the week...MM and I slept in and cuddled in a nice,warm,soft blanket this morning. After quick snack, I found a sunny spot on my living room tree and slept some more. Found MM and let her know it was time to check on all our blogging furrfriends to see what everyone is doing.
MM put some more decorations out that belong to MD...his nutcracker collection. They are now in the front window with the 'lectric candles. Shall I see if I can knock them down??? Meeooowwha-ha-ha!

Sending y'all a Merry Christmas and a Furry Happy New Year from Texas! Emma, MM, MD, and Grandma's kitty-Max the limp!

MERRY MONDAY

Here it comes again...THE HOLLYDAYS they call it! MM started dragging out all kinds of fancy stuff and looking for places to put it all in the house. Everything is looking all sparkly and colorful and fun. I get to check it all out to make sure it passes inspection. Maybe there is some good stuff to play with too.

Wednesday

Sending thanks to Zoolatry for the terrific Christmas picture!
Goes with our wintery weather today...very cold (to me, anyway)and snow/rain this morning, and wind and clouds now. There must be a warm spot around here somewhere! I WILL find it!

New Boy in the family

We have a new little boy floofy in the family. MM's mother adopted a cute little furbaby last Friday and named him Maximum (Max). He's got very unique coloring and is very sweet and cuddly and playful, or so I've been told. I won't get to meet him until he is thoroughly checked out with the vet. The proud parent is so happy to have a new, sweet kitten after the loss of her last furchild in Sept. '08. As usual, the new kitten brightens up the whole household.

Sunday

MM and MD are disgustedly watching some dumb game on the tv and making terrible noises! And it's all about some cowboys and indians... Oh, well. I'll just go find a quiet sunny spot for a bath and a nap. But will YOU PEOPLE KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE PLEASE!

Fun with a box

Costume attempt

MM attempted to make me a Halloween costume today...did not turn out well. I was supposed to look like a pink leopard but apparently she is not much of a seamstress! At least not for cats. I tried to hide in shame but she found me. Thankfully she took pity on me and got the 'costume' off quickly. Think I will hide until Halloween is over in case she gets any more ideas. Yikes! here she comes. I gotta go.

Chilly Sunday

Today is a day for cuddling in our chair or even in bed...chilly all over.I was all warm with MM in the chair but she had to get up and do somethin' so here I am. BRRRR
Gotta keep the furs all fluffed today. Maybe running up and down the stairs a while will help. Or just staying put would be best. hmmm What do all you other frigid floofies do when you are cold?

Wordless Wednesday

Friday AGAIN

Don't know where the days went, but they did! And now it's Friday again. Today has been a very good day because MM opened up the house and the sun is shining and I can stay at the back door and watch. No other critters yet but if they come, I'm ready. There are birdies singing but they are hidden in the trees.
MM and I played in the floor with my sparkly toy on a stick, and I also got a good rub-down and fluff-up. At lunch there was some nice nibbles with catnip on the side...mmmmeeow! That's so good.
Got to go now and get some more sunbeams on my fur and face... and dream of happy little fishies!

forgotten Fri. and Silly Saturday

OOPS! Things were busy around here yesterday and my blog got put at the bottom of the list! MM and MD were getting stuff ready for the grandson's birthday and I tried to help but mostly just wanted a little attention here in the Floofie corner. Also gave them my most pitiful Meeooww which at least got me a quick headrub and hug.
Today I've just been sleepin' here and there, and tossing out a meeoow once in a while to remind certain peoples that I'm here. MM held me up to see out the back door but there aren't any birds or squirrels or nothin' out there. Where are all my furry and feathered friends? Did all the rains wash 'em away? Guess I'll just go take another nap, or a quick snack, and wait for something to happen around here.

Thrilling Thursday (not)

Had a good start to my morning with chin scritching and head rubs, then MM says she's going out and will be back later....so I get to listen to crummy radio noise all afternoon and watch it rain. That wasn't fun. But she doesn't know what I do when she is gone...so that IS fun. I get to inspect lots of things, and sleep wherever I want. Fortunately I can walk through and around her stuff without knocking things over so she never can tell where I have been.

When she came home we had a good roll in the floor with lots of back scratching and tummy rubbing. So guess that's not so bad after all.

Wordless Wednesday

off Tuesday

MM is sick today so I have to go sit with her...see y'all tomorrow.

Misty Monday

I got up at my usual time this morning when MD came downstairs to get me and the paper. Ran upstairs to tell MM all about my night and get headrubs and tummy rubs. Also she has to fill my upstairs waterbowl. Outside it was quiet and no rain! But by afternoon the monsoon had started up again. MM was out buying stinky good stuff and salmon snacks all afternoon. (where does she go to get this stuff?) I've been playing with my mice more lately to fill up the time, and one of my favorite things to do...rub and nuzzle my own personal deer antler that MD found a long time ago.

Late this afternoon I had to remind MM that it was CLEAN OUT THE LITTERBOX time, please!! Boy, our people do tend to forget sometimes.

But all was forgiven when she dished up the stinky good stuff. MMMM Now I want her to sit down so we can cuddle a little so guess I'll sign off. Till tomorrow...meerowwww!

Soggy Sunday

What can I say? Jus' rain rain and more rain. MD says our yard is a big soggy sponge. So I sit in the window, or sleep in the chair, or nap in the closet, or sit here at the desk and doze. There's a certain rainy day theme running through this...a good day just to sleep!!! Hope somebody out there has sunshine today with nice warm sunny spots around the house. ZZZZ....

Watch for tomorrow

Am going to try to post something every day this coming week just 'cause I can...now if only I WILL. Till tomorrow...

Finally out of "prison"

I got "boarded" and sure didn't like it! And I told my captors about it too...hissed at them frequently to make sure they knew how I felt. Luckily MM and MD came home from their trip early although I wasn't all that sure they would ever come back! Hmpf!! But once we got home and I checked everything out to make sure all my special places were still here then I felt much better. MM and I have been cuddling a lot, but I still have to make sure she is in the house. Guess I'll forgive them this time but next year I GO WITH THEM!!!

Torpid Tuesday??

Yeah, I looked in the Thesaurus for that word...torpid!! Funny word. Like 'tupid?
Today is just hot and lazy. MM and I played soccer for a little while in the kitchen. Would you believe I hit one into the trash basket? Yay, I win!
Now it's naptime again after I nag a little bit.

Photo:
MM and I also want to remember a precious floofy who was part of a friend's family. Tobey passed over the Rainbow Bridge on Aug. 7 leaving behind best buddie, Chloe, and 2 new siblings and family.

uh-oh

Somethin's going on around here and I'm gettin veerrry suspicious. MM has been agitated and distracted about a trip, and I heard them say something about "boarding" me....? What does that mean? Then MM started talking about maybe someone "sitting" with me?? But she can't seem to decide what to do. I think part of her problem (and mine) is that we suffer from separation anxiety. I DO NOT like her to be away from me and I sure don't like the sound of boarding and sitting. Do any of my floofy friends know about this stuff?

Toesday

Something to make you laugh at my Grandma bean with her and her friend's funny toes. Maybe I should get MM to paint my toes!

Monday after the BIG PARTY

Yesterday MM and MD let all the other people in the family come into our house, and I was not very happy about the whole thing. After inspecting some of the shoes for odd smells, I just left and stayed upstairs for most of their "party". Some party...I didn't git nuttin' but a lot of noisy beans and aggravation. Hmphhht! Once during all the caterwauling I did come down to check things out just to see if the situation had improved any. I got a few pats on the head and chewed on some ribbon and stuff, but then decided to just go back and nap some more.

After most of the family left, MM came upstairs to find me (in MD's closet) so I could have my dinner. These family "birthday" things just get way out of control. Got to keep it peaceful around here. And the cat should always get some goodies just 'cause we put up with this stuff!

Tuesday in the tower

Since the morning started out dark, dreary and rainy, I think today would be best spent sleeping in my "tower"...condo top. Don't suppose a handsome Prince Floofy will come by while I'm sleeping, mmmeerowr?

Wordless Wednesday

Sleepy Sunday

Mweowee! ? The days have just slipped by and I haven't done much of nuttin' still. It's just TOOOO hot! I sit by the window some but must get up and move to a cooler spot occasionally but with great effort. MM and MD go out and come back complaining about the heat and they are all sweaty. IcK. So why do they bother to go outside anyway? Stay here with me and we can nap in the cool.

There was a little excitement Wed. evening in our backyard. 2 furry little critters were wandering around eating leaves and surveying our yard while MM and MD went nuts getting their cameras going...more pictures. I heard them say the critters were "kits", not kittens...but fox babies. They were a little smaller than me and I must admit they were pretty cute. However, I didn't care to go out to meet them. Just watched from the windows. We're in the suburbs and don't see foxes here altho' we have had possums, raccoons, rabbits and skunks but not often. Kind of a nice break in the evening schedule.

Time to nap again before dinner so stay cool this next week, floofies, and watch out for critters.

Toasty Tuesday

It's just too hot to do anything today, and I haven't been doin' much for the last week or so either. MM has been in and out with her stuff so I just been lonely a lot. Questions she is wrestling with...should kitties be adopted in pairs? Are we happier with a floofy buddy? I'm about 6 1/2 years old and have not shown a great deal of tolerance for visiting floofies...would I adapt to another kitty if it was introduced properly? Maybe my blogging friends can get their beans to answer these nagging questions. Then tell us how to get MD to agree to another pretty kitty! Thanks much to all for suggestions, answers, etc.

Time to go home

Well, we gotta pack it up and head home. It's hard to leave the cool mountains and our animal friends. But we'll be back. And it's always nice to get home to my own bed and get back into my routine. Sure was fun tho'.

Last Few Days of Trip

These last days were nice but kind of cool. As usual we walked around lookin' at stuff and eating grass (me, not MM). I even got to chase a grasshopper which was lots of fun! Here's a photo of me in my pet carrier with MM when we go for more difficult hikes.

Rainy Day

Today it rained all day. We just huddled inside and napped, read, and played games.

And the next...

Just can't get enough lookin' and walkin' on the mountain but sometimes I get kinda' tired too.

Next Day -trip

More hiking but the weather gets kinda cool and rainy so I can't go out as much as I'd like.

Trip-Day 2

Today I get to hike!!! Can't wait! I keep telling MM and MD that it's time...let's go...come on, let's get outside!
