New Christmas Pictures!!!

Here are the mousies that we got from our Secret Paws Nemo!!!

Kon really enjoyed the nip that was in the package.  I'm a little concerned that we'll need an intervention a little later in the new year.

And here I am by the tree.

Merry Christmas Efurryone!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

This morning Mom was up super early, 

but wasn't really in the mood to play. 

 So we just layed around for a while.

Look Mom, I know that you're tired and all, but it is time for Christmas!

See what a good boy I'm being?!?!?!?!?

Here I am inspecting my secret paws!!!

I should probably go find Kon so he can share this with me.

Merry Christmas Efurryone!!!

Thanks Nemo for the great Secret Paws!!!  We'll post more pictures later, once batteries have time to charge.  Mom got a NEW DIGITAL CAMERA for Christmas from Dad and will now be able to take lots more great pictures of us.  We'll post all the great things from our Secret Paws then!

Snowy Saturday

It has been very Snowy here lately!  This is a picture of our neighbor's window.  Look at those tasty icicles!!!  I'd better go check it out.
WHAT?!?!?!?  I'm snowed in?
You've got to be kidding me!

Well, I guess I'll just snoopervise the neighborhood from here.  This might take awhile to melt.

 

Tuesday Update

Hi everyone.  Sorry it's been so long since our last post.  Mom is getting bigger everyday!  The good news is that the "Jack" is almost here, it could be any day now, but we might have to wait until the first week of January.  The other good news is that Mom and Dad keep bringing home lots of soft, warm things for us to sleep on.  Also, Kon has managed to take control of the fishbowl control, so Dad can't change the channel on us when we are watching nature shows and such.  We'll try very hard to post again soon, but with Mom getting more bigger and more whale like everyday, she isn't paying as much attention to the computer.  I think we're going to need some more training for her.

New toys!!!

Here are the new toys that we got!  I got a giant box and Kon got a fake fish tank.  Somehow Mom and Dad keep hiding the fish and making people and other things appear on the front of the tank.  

We have so much to report, but will have to do so later today or tomorrow.  For now, we would like to support a great cause that sends cards to recovering American soldiers.  Please consider sending "Just One More" card this holiday season!

Happy Halloween

Hi Everyone!

We hope you had a great Halloween.

Kon and I took turns in the stroller on the front porch with Mom and Dad handing out candy to all the little sticky beans that came to our house.  We were a big hit!

We didn't get to dress up because Dad says it is our Holiday to just be ourselves since we are both black cats.  But Mom and Dad dressed up and went to a party after our bedtime.  

Can you guess what/who they were?  

P.S. Kon met a ladycat friend that lives in our neighborhood.  He won't shut up about her.  I know she can't possibly be as beautiful as Skittles, so I don't know what all the fuss is about.  Mom will try to get pictures up soon.

New Video!!!

Thanks to Dad's friend Josh J. for providing the music!

(Hopefully, this will work tonight, if not, please check back soon.)

Thursday Thirteen

Here's what's been going on at our house over that last 2 weeks:
1. Our camera needs the batteries recharged and Mom can't find the charger!
2. Dad got a promotion at his job!!! He even mentioned us and my blog in his introduction letter to his colleagues!
3. Mom is getting HUGE!!!
4. We found out that our blurpy is going to be a little brother, named Jack!
5. Our Aunt Laura is moving in with us soon so she can go to college and then there will be another set of hands to love on us:)
6. Mom is taking Friday's off now from her internship and school to hang out with us!
7. I have been wondering and worried about Sam, the Marmalade cat and the fact that he hasn't responded to my nice comment:( I hope he is doing alright.
8. We have been having problems with our internet, which through a new server. There have been tons of service trucks in our alley over the last two weeks.
9. Lots of napping.
10. Lots of playing.
11. Lots of grooming.
12. We are getting very excited about the holidays! We have lots of family coming to visit us this year!!! I'm not sure why they are picking this year, rather than the last two. It's not like there's really anything different or super exciting happening with our family this year than before.
13. We are thinking really hard about Halloween costumes.

Another Lovely Night with My Lovely Lady

I thought a nice theme for tonight's date would be flight and fish.

My lovely Skittles, Let's go to the Lincoln Park Zoo and watch the birds. Did you see that Green one?!?!?And look at that one!

Next I will take you to a famous fishmarket in my town.


Yummy, I think I'll pass on the fries, but the fish sure looks tasty!

Now I would like to show you around the big city:
Here is Water Tower Place. Let's go for a stroll and I can take you out shopping for something as lovely as you are.

Back after a long weekend.

Sorry for the weekend absence.  Mom and Dad wouldn't let us use the computer because they were getting newer faster internet with the cable company.  Mom is not very happy because it took so long, and the big cable company wasn't very helpful.  Dad is just happy that it is finally working!  Anyway, the only exciting thing to happen this weekend was an intruder on our balcony.  

Here it is:

He's headed right for me!!!!

Snuggly Saturday

Happy Gotcha Day!!!

Today is our 2nd Gotcha Day!!!
Mom made us special Gotcha Day Treats!!!!

Here is the recipe for the Tuna Tidbits:
Tuna Tidbits

6 ounce can of tuna
1/4 cup water drained from tuna
3 T cooked egg white, chopped
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine tuna, egg white and water. Add cornmeal and flour and blend to form a dough. Knead into a ball and roll to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into one-inch sized pieces. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Makes 12 cookies.

* Mom made a few changes. She rolled the dough into tbs. sized balls, then flattened and quartered, so we had a lot more than 12. She also only baked them for 15 minutes since they were smaller now.


After all of the excitement, we needed a nap.

Brotherly Love: Napping and Playing

Future Olympian?

If it weren't for the water part, I'd be a star at diving!

Light a Candle for Violette

Please pray for Sprout's family today and in the weeks to come.

"I will not forget you. I have carved you on the palm of my hand." Isaiah 49:16

There aren't words...

We are so sad right now.  Please pray for Monty Q's family.  Dear Lord, please give them comfort.

Thanks and a brief absence

Thank you efurryone for all of your support, purrs and prayers for Kon's tooth surgery.  Special thanks to Skittles and Karen, Grr, Midnight, Cocoa, Rascal, Riley and Max for all the fundraising help!  He is back to his old self again and the bills are paid off completely!!!  I found out today that Mom and Dad are going to Virginia for the weekend and are leaving tomorrow!  I don't know why they don't think to tell us a little sooner.  They are going to need a little more training I think.  Does anyone on the Catblogosphere specialize in that?  Anyway, for now Kon and I will be offline for a few days until at least Monday when Mom returns.  I'll see if Mr. Mike and Auntie Megan will help me post, but I'm not sure if they will like my being on the computer.  For now I'm going to take a nap, because snoopervising all that packing was a pain.  Have a great weekend efurryone!

Guess Who?

Hum...does he have a hat?

Does he have blonde hair?
Kon, I can't guess who it is if you don't tell me the truth!

Kon's home and a Special Treat

Kon is home from the vet and he was grumpy for most of the day.  He is doing just fine though and only had to have the root extracted.  The vet said the top tooth could stay, but might fall out later.

But we also got a special treat in the mail today!!!

It's a package from Skittles!!!

Open it already!!!

I love all of the toys, especially the fuzzy, fuzzy ones!  

Let's see what else we have in here.

Aww!  Thank you Skittles!!!  You are so beautiful!

I want to mail Skittles something back, but I think I'm going to need a bigger box.
