Happy new years!

Happy new years!!!

Our mom chased us around the house to get our collars on, she needed the right pen to write on our name tags. she got all but Sylvester. Ava could care less. Camille fought with hers for about 10 minutes then gave up.Sylvester ran under the bed where mom couldn't get him.

oh some good news two more toys were off the cat tree when mom got home this morning. one off the very top perch and one off the top of the highest house. she tossed the toys around a bit; letting us play before setting them back up. she'll check it again before work and again before bed. and report in a day or two. She did catch Camille sleeping in the lower house but she didn't stay long. (shes gunna wash Camille's bed then put it in there)

We hope everyone has something cool planned for new years. Unfortunately our mom has to work through it. so nothing is planned with us here. she might have some sparkling grape juice on her day off. her mom plans to have pizza and a movie.

If anyone throws a party save us some nip and noms. Well try and stop buy after our mom gets off work and gets home from running errands. hope everyone stays safe and tell your parents/humans to drive safe!

cat tree

lookies, our mom promised us wed that she would put up our tree and give us our gifts. so here we are...

hers the big box mom had to drag into the house and then into the linen closet. then back towards the door she drug it from.

 she sure missed not having he work provided box cutter, but made do with scissors. the first board on top is particleboard. she was about to send it right back but the other boards were more solid wood like.

wow look at all these parts. Camille checked them over and made sure everything was there.

oh look.. its a empty cardboard box

I think ill supervise from here

Sylvester came by check things over too

Then Camille found the smaller house and decided it was a nice supervising spot.

look at all the screws and bolts oh and the three toys. the blue bag is what they stuffed the bolts and toys in.

at this point our mom got the first and second layers on

Sylvester stayed behind mom to avoid getting whacked.

Ava kept the little xmas tree company on the other side of the room. (mom didn't get the big one up after all)

oh and look another layer is on with Camille still supervising.

Here is the finished product with Ava on the house part. and Sylvester on the floor. sadly Camille was run out of the little house. and there are two toys dangling down.

and here's the rest of our xmas presents. to go with the tree. we have three furry balls. two catnip mice, and a blinking caterpillar. there also a collar for each of us Sylvester gets the purple one, Ava gets the pink, and Camille gets the blue and pink one. We also have name tags that say "If I am out, I am lost" on the front with our name and moms number on the back. 



mom arranged the toys on the cat tree to try and get us on it.. Camille took a mouse and played with it on the floor but so far no one seems interested. we've never had a cat tree before. so we have to get used to it.

a pressy!!

not to long ago we got a pressy for wining a contest Spitty held on his blog SpittySpeaks. well we got our prize yesterday but mom didn't let us have it till today.

Camille had to check it over, she said it had lots of interesting smells,

So I had to check them out too mom pulled out not one but two "land-octopi"

and also a nice handwritten card

 

Camille again insisted on checking out the contents

Sylvester and Camille sniffed and batted them a little bit. but the one who ended up having the most fun was........

Ava!  the rest of us are wondering if its a long/medium furred cat thing (it looks purple but its brown like spittys)

Mom put one away for later, and is waiting to see who goes nuts today. Ava was having a blast but our mom is so bad with the camera.. when she snapped a pic, or recorded video it made her blurry or she wasn't doing anything interesting. it was planned... she just doesn't know it.

in other news its warming up in the next day or too and all the snow should be gone by noon today. Also our mom had a nice scare at work. a two Ltr bottle of soda fell off the top of a pallet about 5 1/2 feet and exploded when it hit the floor.. then it rocketed down the area our mom was working in. it got soda everywhere, but thankfully not on out mom nor did the bottle hit her, but it was a big mess to clean up. it sucked for the guy who dropped it, but was funny to our mom.

A white xmas!!

we waited till today to post this since we allready had two posts in one day.


Guess what??  weve had the first white Christmas we have ever seen, and the first our mom has seen in +5 years. She was kind enough to take each of us out, she held us since we dont have harnesses. she set each of us down and took us into the snow fall. Ava was content, she enjoyed looking around. Sylvester cried and cried but was curious. Camille wanted little to do with it. we were taken back inside with no misshaps and dried off. The snow's been falling hard and heavy since before 6am cst. its a wet snow so its sticking to everything. usually we get a light dry snow. anyways her are some pictures of the snow with the new camra

the car tracks in those top two pics are a state road.

the snow never stick in the trees.. before now

and a short vidoe of the snow falling. (first attempt to upload was botched by a power blink,

 So Sylvester has decited what hes gunna do today....

Ava is under the covers and Camille is in a catbed.

We are waiting for our xmas pressys sometime later today

opsse looks like we wont get to have our present today, we got even more snow today so the roads are bad again. we are gunna stay put, while she stays with her parents... they have more human food.

what our mom got for xmas.

Our mom got to open and exchange gifts with her parents Christmas eve morning.  She celebrated right after she got home from work. (her day at work was busy and stressfull but she stayed ina  good mood... she had a platefull of goodies for her first break and her lunch) And also she didnt want to wake up early on a day off.

Anyways she scored double. She usually gets only one pricy gift, and then a couple of cheap items like candy stocking stuffers. but becouse her mom was worried about the main gift not shipping on time, she got a second gift that was a bit pricy.

Our mom got both. She got a soda club. A household contraption that allows you to easily carbonate tap water and then add flavors if you so desire. the contraption itself is grey and red. she got two  1 ltr bottles that work with the unit., two co2 canisters; adds the bubbly. and a sample pack of 12 flavors, each flavor is good for only 1 bottle. and 6 regular sized assorted flavor bottles good for several bottle fulls. (our mom didn't know about this so she stocked up on some mountain dew 2 ltrs...We think there is no danger of her having caffeine withdraws.)

That was her main gift. She also got a Sony powershot Sorry its actually a Cyber-shot. (edited 12/25 3:43 am). Remember when she complained about her camera acting funny? not only was the old one taking funky pictures but the battery compartment door was broken, she had to hold it shut. Her dad  is the one that suggested a new camera. So that saved her the trouble. the new one hads a rechargable battery. and she promises npot to loose the cd or wires that came with it this time.

Shes gunna check it out. She said our gifts will be given the day after Christmas.  she wants to spend some time with her parents and relatives. and now she can take pictures and post them!!

Catsmas!!!!
