Everybody loves pumpkin!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. This 8-month old Siberian tiger cub did!

Pretty Peaches

We've now had our two new kitties all of three weeks. They are so much fun! And they clearly have so much fun, too. This morning I found an assortment of things they had batted around the house overnight ~ my keys, my watch, a pen, and one of my toddler's socks.




You've already met Bunny, so let me introduce her sister Peaches. Even though Bunny warmed up to her new surroundings faster, there are so many reasons I am so attached to Peaches. To some extent, she's the underdog of the house. She's the kitty we all wanted to settle in perfectly, but for a while it was questionable whether she would make it. And so she quickly became my little "project" as I worked to coax her out from under the bed.




Now she's definitely out and about more. Once you get to know her she's just as loving as her sister. I think she's so beautiful, with her sleek physique and exotic markings. And, as an added bonus, she cracks me up every time she enters the room. She usually comes bounding in. So much so that more often than not she has to regain her footing once she comes to a standstill. I laugh every time because her entrance is so "Kramer-esque."

Bundle of Love

I am currently holding a bundle of love in my lap. As I mentioned before, our holidays included the addition of two new cuddly companions at our house. Meet Bunny:


Bunny has to be the softest, sweetest, cuddliest cat I've ever known. She will actually wrap her little paws around your neck, tuck her nose under your chin, and give you a tight hug. I must admit ~ I was a bit alarmed the first time she did this!

Bunny's sister is equally great. Unfortunately her favorite hangouts are dark and cozy, making picture-taking rather difficult. I promise to introduce her soon.

Another Holiday, Another Parade

Happy New Year, everyone!

We now have three parades saved on our DVR for my toddler's viewing pleasure. She really loves parades - the music, the costumes, and now the floats! But our favorite part of the Rose Bowl Parade, hands down, were these guys:


You can read about them here.

It turns out that these aren't the only furry creatures we're celebrating today. We decided to start the New Year by adding two new members to our family. We now have two gray tortoiseshell kitties settling in at our house! As soon as they get better acclimated I'll be sure to share pictures.

We found our feline friends on petfinder.com. I love this site! But my advice is to view with CAUTION. You just might want to adopt every cuddly friend you see like I did!
