[Christmas-morning update]
Merry Christmas (and other holidays) to all of my readers.
[From yesterday]
On this day two years ago, on Christmas Eve, we adopted the kittens.
We originally thought they were sisters, but a few weeks later we discovered that Ashe and Ember were sister and brother. He was the dark kitten who fell down the stairs. He was the runt of the litter, but he’s now outgrown his sister, weighing 15 pounds to her 13. She still scraps with him, though.
They’ve turned out to be pretty good cats, very social and almost too friendly. Ashe likes to lounge on my lap after painfully kneading my right upper leg, but only at my desk. Ember likes to lie on Patricia’s desk while she’s trying to work. He also likes to help out in the kitchen, but he’s not as helpful as he thinks he is. Anyway, here are the Christmas kittens, at age two.
They’ve both obviously grown a lot. Stretched out, he’s almost three feet long, from ears to tail. I didn’t have to put him in that position. They’re both characters.
These are wonderful. I especially love the pic of them in the side by side cat beds.
Cats do indeed bring joy to a home. You just have to make sure they understand who’s boss. That’s pretty easy though, as they mostly all do (it’s them). 🙂
Merry Christmas, Rand.
Thanks for the pix, Rand.
Those not so little guys need to go low carb. Fatty mince rather than kibble.
I miss our cats.
Well, we give them grain-free food. They’re not as bad as they appear in those shots. If you saw them running around, you’d think they were pretty healthy.
What a pair of cuties. 🙂
I’ve got a cat who needs to lose weight. It’s a problem to solve in the new year.
Beautiful cats! Merry Christmas!
One of my cats is on her Thirteenth Cataversary. She was a Christmas cat too. She is the elder.
Merry Christmas and happy Caturnalia!
Merry Christmas everyone. Remember that despite the ups and downs and downs of 2020 that it has never been a better time to be a human and that our future looks promising should we be able to realize what is in front of us.
Glad to see the cats are doing well. The big guy looks like he needs a belly rub but that might be a trap.
He is definitely always up for a belly rub.
Rand, do you recall posting Grinch satire one Christmas, I think the piece was called Green Lives Matter? I searched the blog for it but couldn’t find it. It was an op-ed written from the Grinch (which is not his real name BTW!) POV.
If their claws are bothering you buy some cat claw clippers and give them a trim every two to three weeks. This is important for some cats as the claws can get too long and curl back into the pads – in which case it’s an expensive vet visit.
Kittees are SUPPOSED to be in charge, CJ. And cat lovers wouldn’t have it any other way. 😉
Awwww – pretty-pretty kitties-kitties. Loves me some tabbies (and all cats).
They’re precious, Rand. 😀
