Beautiful Boy

He's coming to a place where he doesn't like to have his picture made too often anymore, but he still loves this cat.

A Dose of CUTE-ness

Moses has been a really good Mama to her three kittens. She is very attentive and the kittens are now two weeks and one day old. Their little blue eyes are visible now and they are starting to walk...or should I say wobble. They purr and even nibble on each other's ears. We try to snuggle these little fuzzballs, but they don't like to be too far from their little nest. As soon as they get about 3 inches away from it, they start to cry....loudly...which naturally alerts their very protective mama and she returns dutifully to settle her children. Once all three babies are settled and napping, Moses hops out to live her life for a little bit...and take a little breather.

I was a little worried about the idea of Moses having kittens, but it has turned out to be a very sweet, and fun experience for the kids....and me!

Laughter! It's Good Medicine.

I have a funny cat! There was a cornflake box lying on the floor. Moses must have thought it looked like a good hideout. She ran across the floor and crammed herself into the cereal box. It would probably have worked well...if she could fit her body into the box. Only half of her fits inside the box....

She seems to have a fun sense of humor! Claustrophobic she is not....apparently.

Here Kitty, Kitty!

It's hard to believe that Moses has been with us for nearly a year. She has really become a part of our family. Last night, we couldn't find her. All of us worried that something really had happened to her. Thankfully, we found her this morning....in the garage. Why hadn't we thought to even check there? We were just glad she was safe. I'm glad to have her snuggled on my bed again tonight.

Oh, Moses!

...and that's a wrap, everyone!

Happiness is...

...a crocheted shawl to snuggle into.

This shawl was commissioned by my mom for my Great Aunt Lorrayne who lives in Iowa. We're thinking she just might like to receive this....

Des Colores!

I was happily knitting this hat for my friend, Ric, who is battling cancer and just went 6 hours of chemo last week. I picked up my mug of coffee to take a sip and I realized the colors of the yarn and the colors on the mug were so similar!

While I had the knitting project on the floor for the picture, Moses plopped down on it and made herself cozy. I think she likes it. She kinda has that "ZEN" look on her face.

I really love this hat! It was a super-eazy knit. My mom saw the hat and squealed with delight and told me: "I WANT ONE!"

PERFECT! She has a birthday coming up soon!

Stamp of Approval

My third knitting project is a miniature scarf. I made it for Quincy. It was actually made of leftover yarn I used for the baby afghan I crocheted for him while I was pregnant with him.

I set the project down to get a coffee warm-up and came back to find that Moses was testing its warmth factor. The fact that she is all curled up on it, tells me she gave it her stamp of approval.

A Boy and His Cat

They seem to have a love/hate relationship. He carries her around. She cries to be free. He pulls on her tail, he gets scolded....she curls up next to his sleeping body. They seem to be good friends. In fact, last night, he was taking a bath. I went into the bathroom to check on him and noticed Moses was S-O-A-K-E-D to the skin. I asked...."Uh, how come the cat is all wet?" He said, "Oh! Well, she was taking a bath with me! But she didn't scratch me!"

Peek-A-Boo!

Moses peeks out from inside Quincy's backpack.

Moses Kitty!

I love how kitties will seek out the teensiest amounts of sunshine on the floor. We sure are enjoying our little cat.

Funny!

It turns out....HE is a SHE!!! We went through so much deliberation to come to and decide on Moses that her name will remain the same.

We like it...Now she can be....(are you ready for it???? GRANDMA MOSES!!!)

I crack me up!

Water Bottle Follies

Curious?


Maybe just a little?

I don't know what it is about cats and glasses of water. What makes them think that our vessels of water are there for them? Every cat I've been a guardian of has always seemed to think that my bevereages are placed about for them. One cat, Samantha, used to dip her paw into the drink, then lick the liquid from her paw. Tom, used to dip his paw into the cup, taste it and then dump the entire thing over. Now, Just 10 weeks old, Moses tries to stick his head into my water bottle to drink my water. He had a bowl of water on the floor JUST for him, but evidently, that wasn't good enough. He staked his claim on my water, too.

It made for some cute photos!
