New Years Eve

It's the last day of the year. Kenta thinks he did a pretty good job keeping his toys busy, his siblings busier, emptying his food dish, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood from his favorite window. All in all a great year.

Norma and Alias

The two of them came from a litter of six. They bonded with each other from the start. They were smart in doing so because they compliment each other perfectly. Alias' mellow personality suits Norma's squirrely side very well. They know when the other wants to be left alone and when the other wants to snuggle. They both get daily zoomies. Alias howls as he tears up and down stairs and hallways. Norma squeals as she does something she knows I don’t like, knocking things off desks, tables and shelves, crawling into electronic wiring.

Kenta's Declaration

 

Kenta is declaring 2026 as the year of the cat. Just like every year before.

Failed Watch Cats

Unusually, I came home from work for lunch. Nobody greeted me at the door even though I could've been an intruder. I went upstairs to see this. I guess love is greater than fear.

When’s Spring?

It warmed up the past few days enough to melt some of the snow cover. Now it’s supposed to get really cold again. It looks like it’s going to be a long winter.

Shared Nap

Alias and I took a long nap together yesterday. He’s a wonderful snuggler.

Brrrrrrrrrrr

We have a severe weather advisory for the entire weekend. The windchill is supposed to go as low/high ? as 32 degrees below zero. None of us may get out of bed this weekend.

Selfie

Norma just found out about ‘selfies.’ Now she is demanding more and more camera time.

His Hero

Every once in a while Kenta will give his hero a big ol’ bear hug.

Treeless

Kenta saw a big tree in our neighbor’s living room. I had to explain to him we don’t do that in our house. So he climbed on top of the next best thing.

Brrrrrrrrr

I think all of us are going to be huddled by the space heater this weekend.

It Sucks

A couple of years ago I bought a vacuum cleaner specifically designed for pet fur. It really sucked… in a good way. It worked great until it met Kenta. Kenta’s fur clumps onto the carpet so I have to pickup individual clumps of fur.

Gratitude

Every day for the last five years, these two have made my day brighter. That they’ve spent every day of their lives together is a big reason why.

Snuggle Buddy

We got our first significant snow Saturday. Norma made it extra hard to get out of bed, with her snuggled warmly against my side underneath the covers. I eventually did get up and shovel the five inches of snow.
