Just another manic Monday

Hello!   This couch is so comfy.  Mom laughs at me because I'm all sprawled out on top of it.  I may have to reprimand her for such cheekiness but not now as I am all relaxed.   Mom had some company on Saturday.  They went shopping.  Mom said the snow plow drifts in the parking lot were very high!
Super big snow plow drifts.  Yikes.  It doesn't look the least bit comfy-too cold.
Mom was twiterpated with this teapot and bunny.   She resisted the temptation again because she wanted to buy something else. 


But before that she and her company had a bit of a break.  A nice cup of apple cranberry tea gave her some strength to continue.   Mom can get tired fast when she is in stores.  She says crowds can be exhausting.  Thankfully, tea helps with frazzled nerves.
Something else that lifts Mom's spirits are her ruby slippers.   She says just looking at them makes her smile.   She even speculated that she should bring them with her to work.   That way, if for some reason she is having a tough day, she can click her heels together three times  and she will be home!
(We think she is having fun at our expense but if it makes her happy then we will continue to let her think that!)  So- here is the reason Mom did not purchase the bunny tea pot.....

Mom found a heated kitty bed for Oscar!  Woo hoo!  She was very happy.   This is Oscar enjoying the heat on his fluffy bum!   Mind you...so far...for the most part... we are ignoring this expensive bed.  Mom wanted to help Oscar with his ouchie arthritic back leg.  Mom has tried putting toys into the bed and catnip....so far not much is working.
We will close with one more thing that made our Mom happy.   This photo of all three of us together on the back of the sofa.  She says it makes her heart happy to see us all there.   We hope you all have a great week and find something to make your heart happy, too! 
Purrs!

  1. When we got new beds we wouldn't touch them until Mummy Janey rubbed them on her skin. Aaaaaah, that's better...the beds smelled like Mummy Janey...must be safe to go in.

  2. Ruby slippers! Now those are great.

    How about putting a blanket that Oscar already uses in the bed? Or maybe it's in a not-so-great (to Cats) spot? Ours got moved around a bit until we approved of the proper Fang Schway.

    1. Ahh...Fang Schway....Mom will have to look into that.
      Yes, we like the ruby slippers, too. Mom has to keep them up high when she isn't wearing them...those glittering rubies are very tempting to smunch on!
      Purrs,
      the kitty brats

  3. I applaud your momma for wisely using her green papers on the heated bed instead of the teapot. Maybe the simple act of picking up Oscar and placing him in the bed will help? Cannot remember all the different ways we've tried to get kitties interested in new beds. It's a science all it's own!

    1. Hi Eastside Cats,
      If it's a science I would love to read the manual :)

  4. Mom bean lubs the ruby slippers! She says she'll have to look for a pair especially if they have magic powers.

    We lubs the heated bed. Before the mom bean gets herself some ruby slippers she better thing about getting us those. Or else, MOL

  5. That heated bed is awesome. We hope you kitties will take advantage of it, especially with it being so cold right now. That last picture makes US happy, too. :)

    1. Thanks! Oscar stayed in the bed for about 20 minutes this evening. That is progress!

  6. So sweet to see all three close together like that :) And we agree with the Fang Schway theory...we can have a bed in a certain spot for ages and no one even looks twice at it, then LP moves it to different location and efurryone is vying for it! We bet Oscar's bones will love it once it is accepted :)

  7. As much as I loved the bunny teapot you definitely made the right decision in buying the heated bed. Oscar looks very content as do the Triplets on the back of your sofa!

    PS Thanks for your kind words,

    Linda xx

  8. OOOOh, what a meowvelous thing for Oscar! Has he decided it's comfy yet? We're all about the Fang Shcway over here too!

  9. Maybe now Oscar is using that awesome bed more? We like the idea of making it smell like your human, that makes sense.

    Our human would love a pair of ruby slippers too...if they could send her home in the blink of an eye. (She's always wanted to teleport. LOL.)

    Thanks for stopping by, have a great week. Surely now that Feb is behind us, spring will inch toward us??? After our storm tomorrow???
