Flashback Friday

The head peep has been saying that she misses having cats who snuggle together. We might share a piece of furniture, as long as it’s large enough that we don’t have to be too close, but we don’t snuggle together. But looking back on when Newton was a kitten, he was determined to snuggle, even though Pierre really wasn’t interested in it.

Here, you can clearly see that Pierre is thinking, “Go away, kid, you bother me.”

But Newton has always been a force of nature. He would wait until Pierre was asleep and then ninja snuggle him.

Do you kitties snuggle with each other?


Almost two weeks ago, Nerissa at Nerissa’s Life gave us the Wonderful Team Member Leadership Award. (Yes, the head peep is disorganized and slow about awards, but we’re trying to make her be better about it.)

Isn’t it a beautiful graphic? Thank you, Nerissa! We’re supposed to pass it along to fifteen more bloggers, but we think you’re all amazing. Please, if you haven’t been presented with the award yet, take it, because you deserve it, too!

Thank you, Nerissa, for thinking of us with this award.

Once Upon a Paper Bag

We love paper bags. The head peep cuts the handles off for safety and then leaves them on the floor for us to enjoy.

Newton: What’s this? It’s a fresh paper bag!

Newton and Paper Bag 01

Newton: Plenty of headroom. But  don’t want to be trapped in here when someone pounces on it.

A bit later…

Pierre: New paper bag! When did this get here?

Pierre and Paper Bag 03

Newton: It’s been here a while. But I was leaving it for you. Because I’m that kind of generous little brother.

Pierre: Uh-oh.

Pierre: Is he still out there?

Pierre and Paper Bag 05

Pierre: I don’t see him over that way, either. Maybe he went to pull Ashton’s tail. I hope so. I mean, not because I want Ashton’s tail pulled, but… no pouncing!

Pierre and Paper Bag 06

Pierre: I think I’m just going to hang out in here. King of Paperbaglandia. That’s me.

Get the Panic Mouse!

A very old toy emerged from our coat closet, so old that the head peep had to clean corroded battery contacts to make it work again. The panic mouse is kind of an interactive cat toy for people who don’t want to wave a wand around. It had been so many years since the cats had seen it, they approached it like it was new again.

Newton: What’s this? It’s noisy, and it’s moving! Panic Mouse-Newton

Pierre: It’s moving!

Newton: But it’s noisy….

Panic Mouse-Pierre and Newton

Newton: And it flips that thing in my face. Whoa!

Newton: This one is yours, Pierre.

Panic Mouse-Pierre and Newton 3

Pierre: No problem, I’ve got this.

Panic Mouse - Pierre 5

Ashton: I’m not going anywhere near any of that.

Panic Mouse-Ashton

Pierre: You are such a girl! I have this. Check out this move.

Panic Mouse-Pierre 6

Pierre: I can’t wait to get my teeth into it!

Pierre: Got you! *Chomp*

Pierre-panic mouse bitey

Pierre: I’m putting the big bitey on you now, panic mouse!

Pierre Panic Mouse Bitey 2

Arrrggghh! *Chomp* *Chomp*

Pierre: See? I told you. I have it under control.

Newton Shows His Easy

The flashy box sneaked up on Newton in the middle of the night and captured him getting his easy on.

We hope everybody else gets a chance to practice their easy today, too!


We also wanted to announce the winner of the Pawalla giveway box: The Island Cats! We hope they enjoy the goodie grab bag, and we’ll make sure it gets shipped out before Pierre tries tasting things again.
