Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy thanksgiving. We celebrated yesterday  and guess what we gots some turkey meat!! it was good and we got extra treats through the night.  We are thankful for all the toys, treats and scritches we receive. we are glad to be indoor only kitties (with an occasional escape). and are happy our food and water says full, and our beds warm.

for those of you wandering by help yourself to a turkey day buffet.

first we have some turkey!

And next we have plenty of fixings!

Be sure to fill your plate up and enjoy!

We have plenty of catnip fresh and dried, along with oats if you don't like the other green vegies. and we have plenty of toys and beds (including the moms). litter boxes are in the washroom down the hall and first door to the left. or outside if you prefer. We have piles of leaves outside to play in and a few perches set up.

Hope you enjoy your stay and again, Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Happy Turkey-da... oh wait!

Okay okay..... so we are a day early. Our mom and her parents decided that since she is off wed night, but has to work Thursday-- the weekend. that they would celebrate early so she can enjoy the dinner with minimal sleep loss. we just have to help her wake up at 4pm which to her is like 3am would be to normal day person.


Looks like they will be getting some turkey, macaroni and cheese. mashed potatoes with peas and carrots. and some rolls. and a apple or cherry pie (what ever she found) cranberry sauce and stuffing. not a huge meal but good variety, it just her and her parents. maybe some football too. They rarely have a big get together for turkey-day.

oh and mom says we can try some turkey. they don't put much seasonings if any so we might like it.


anyways we gotta make sure the pillows are fluffed and the bed is warm. want to ensure we get some turkey!

toys

Okay we were wondering.. where do you keep your toys? are they in baskets, or on the floor, or in a box... or up where you cant get them without your human. how does your human store the ones you dont play with.? are they neatly sorted or all thrown into a box or two.


ours are scattered all over the place. about two years ago we had a basket full... but everynight the basket was emptied and toys left everywhere. so the toys slowly disapeared, and only a few stay on the floor at any given time. sometimes they end up back in the basket.. but we take care of that.. silly toys they dont belong in a basket.


Our mom is wondering as well. shes wanting to find a good storage system for our stuff. the food is taken care of, shes dedicated a lower cabnet for our foods. but wants to keep toys elswhere. shes frustrated about the toys being homeless.

Ava and camille found a blanket. Our mom found one under the bed, so she pulled it out and left it in a pile. next thing we know... First Camille sleeps on it all night long. and Ava sleeps on it when shes not in her chair. our mom doent know what to think.. its a microplush throw she got at half price. like 2 or 3 dollars. so guess you can say thats the cheapest nice kitty blanket we have had in a while.. sure beats the dollar tree baby blankets.

Turkey-day storys.

Turkey day is almost upon us, sadly our human has to work that night.. and deal with the black Friday crowd. she did that last year and found it stressful. but she says this year is supposed to be better... she gets paid to stand and guard the merchandise.. and straighten only within a couple of feet of it, but she has no clue what she will do at the last three hours of her shift.  we are hoping for some goodies.


Anyways she was thinking about what she might get to take to work for a few days after turkey day. and started reminiscing on a kitty that came before us. Actually her first kitty. Tiger; He was a smokey Persian.. I think they are called doll faced. his nose wasn't smashed in but wasn't as pointed as a typical cat. and he had papers.

they were inseparable our mom was just a kid when they got him.

Anyways every turkey day they would have a traditional dinner. while they ate their goodies. guess who got a special meal?

He got some turkey meat, and the boiled innards. and due to him getting into a cooling pumpkin pie... he got a little sliver with the crust.  I think later he even got some stuffing added to his meal.


They did this up until he stopped cleaning his plate which was a good while. into his life. and when his housemate Cleo joined she got some as well. but preferred just the turkey.

We aren't as spoiled. we just get dry crunches.. but Sylvester has been known to tear into cornbread.

Do you get to eat a special turkey-day meal with your humans? is it a traditional year after year thing?

Moment of silence

Weve noticed a few kitties went over the bridge recently. we didnt know, or visit those blogs, but we still send our condolences to their humans and friends on their loss. 

Stay-cation is over!

our mom goes back to work tonight. Shes been busy but didn't get all the way done. so shes got a few days until her "e-vic-tion"  its not a real eviction..  her parents want her completely moved (minus furniture) before turkey day so they can use the room for guests. 

so here's a summary....

Cleaning:

• 2/3rds of her bedroom plus 1/3 of what was left in the storage room.
• All the trash/unfixable items are gone or bagged for trash day.
• Everything that has been boxed is ready to be moved if not already.

Gaming:

• Shes boxed up all her video games and accessories minus the ps3 system and controller.
• As of now shes made it to Dna Sequence 6 of 9. each Dna sequence has a variable number of memory's within and she on the third. so.. that's level 6 part three 3 suppose. with three lvls to go. but loads of extra stuff to do in the game. so it will still take a while. (check past posts for the games description and trailers.)

Kittehs

• ... We've been inspecting boxes
• finding old toys..
• turning thing into toys
• running from the evil black trash bag monsters.
• getting lots of snuggle time and pettings.

To do list

• Haul all the boxes to her house and unpack or stow for later.
• Finish packing and moving.
• Vacuum and shampoo the carpet.

Shes got a week of time left and in addition to full time hunting for green papers.. her game is a bad distraction. and she will have only two days off.


So... think she will finish on time? at the least they just want her bedroom cleaned out. and clean.

Day three.

our mom says time really flies when shes off.. it might help if she didnt sleep half the day away.  Shes playing her game again but shes been good and kept us fed, warm and cuddled. shes also takeing breaks so she dosent burn out, and shes still cleaning. but not as diligently as before.
She's also mad becouse it was supost to rain all day tuesday but it was nice and sunny, she could have gotten her tv. so shes decited to do more reaserch and buy one sunday morning. that gives her time to set it up, and we will help her build the tv stand.

so far.. we have found three balls and two mice. only to loose then again.. oh well we'll find them again. Sadly our mom says that once she has them "all" gathered up shes gunna sort and purge the worn out ones. as long as its not our favorites we're okay with that becouse that means she'll take the majority of the good ones and marinate or spray them with catnip.

uh-oh shes wanting the computer. they didnt have a game guide at the store so shes useing the interwebs instead.
