The Cats and NYC

I feel like we all need a good dose of cat pictures today. From Fatty and Bentley, with love:

Headbutting me is Bentley's favorite thing to do. Then he forgets where he is for a moment till he lifts his head and is surprised to find that he is a cat!

Sunbathe first thing in the morning if possible. Even in the winter! Find a sunny window and sit in front of it to warm your bones - Bentley

Sun lover from 9 AM - 1 PM then lunch and nap from 1:30 PM to 6 PM. What a life.

Fatty, all half pound of him, is puttering along and doing well on his new kidney diet. We might have him a few more weeks. And why not, he is such a cute little keeper!

The Lion King

Can I pet you too? - Fatty. "Yes. Fatty but no claws, please" - the Lunch Lady

Caught in the act, stuck by his claws, and looking very guilty.

Sunny winter days are my favorite. - Fatty

Fatty wouldn't take "no" for an answer. He found his way to a sunny spot.

Grumpy cat before his nap... watch out!

"I'm here to help you wrap Christmas gifts! I am your personal Elf!"- Bentley

Kitty-elf holding back from pouncing on the ribbon and tape. He was very good at watching. And the next day I found the gift's wrapping torn to shreds and brought to me as a present. He is in the Holiday Spirit, that one!

Do Not Disturb

 And we went to New York City for a few hours and it was pure bliss. Pure bliss! Christmas and New York City are like peanut butter and jelly.

"Do come in and spend your thousands!" says the charming doorman to the gullible lady who might spend a thousand or if she feels the smile was worth the purse.
