Brrrrrr………….we continue our VERY cold streak here AND while we did get some snow Friday afternoon, it didn’t start until it was too dark for Mom to take photos!! But this is what it looked like yesterday before the second batch of snow started…………..Misaki – I’m posting this for YOU and for all you other pups out there (very few cats I think) that LUV snow!
It will be a Cuddle Caturday around here due to the cold. Mom and Dad aren’t leaving the house (so they say) which I suspect might be true because there’s ice out there – everywhere – sneaky ice – the kind you’re not sure is really under that layer of snow or not so WATCH OUT!
I think I can handle cuddling……..you know me…….always ready for a good cuddle………..not too many of us aren’t – right?
I entered my photo in Hutch A Good Life’s Valentine’s Photo contest. If you don’t know about the contest, you’d better go over and check it out! I’m not telling how I “dressed up” for it but you’re supposed to send in a photo for “Most Romantic Figure”……well, what’s more romantic than a mature ginger snugglebug??? Hmmmmm???? 😀 😀 😀
Happy Caturday!
Kitty Hugs (warm ones), Sammy
We got another couple of inches last night…I’m loving it! But my mummy says she’s sick of it and is hoping the weatherman is right and the snow will be replaced with rain by tonight which will get rid of it all bol. You look lovely and snuggly even I’d give you a cuddle looking like that 😉 wags and sniffs Toby xx

Hi Toby! You got more snow huh? Well, we got a TINY bit more than you can see in that photo but only a bit so it’s not nearly enough to sled in even (so says the neighborhood kids who look a bit disappointed!). They don’t have snow in our forecast again because it’s supposed to warm up again next week into the 50s. I hope you have a super weekend…..my Saturday’s starting up rather nicely with the smell of bacon wafting through the house! YUM!

Hi Mollie! Yep – bacon Saturday and cozy by the fireplace too. I tried to go outside this morning with Mom – she couldn’t believe I’d asked her to take me but it was still dark and I didn’t know any better so we bundled up and went out. I was out there for about 20 seconds, turned around and came back inside! I’m no dummy!

Baby is doing fantastically! She is such an incredible personality. Sabre is still not sure but did nearly consider having a game with her, which is remarkably early for a cat to accept another, don’t you think? Then again, last night he seemed to have decided he’d had enough and refused to come inside. We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m really hoping the get on well as I now cannot imagine adopting her out to anyone else.

Sabre will eventually realize Baby is no threat. If he almost played with her that’s a BIG step in the right direction! He’s probably just doing a bit of pouting hoping for some extra attention but it sounds to me like things are going to work out………..now if Jangles would just come back and enjoy the fun all would be happy again…………
