Boxes!!



Sebastian likes to sit in boxes. I wonder if that means he wants to get shipped somewhere! Look how he tries to squeeze his big body in that tight little box!! Hahaha.

Happy New Year to all! A healthy and safe 2009!!

We love wrapping!

The cats really loved to "help" me when I was wrapping presents. By "help" I mean, sitting right on the wrapping paper and making tons of wrinkles. Both Yaffa and Sebastian did the same exact thing 1 hour apart. I thought that was funny.

Let it snow!






It really starts to feel like Christmas when you have a good snow storm. It's been snowing most of the day and the entire hood is blanketed with snow now. It's awesome. Better yet, I haven't left the house ALL day.

The cats have been snuggling together on the bed. Sebastian has been feeling a bit sick, he's been sneezing and I think he might have a runny nose, since's it's pinker than usual. Since he's not feeling so well, I allowed him to have treats and some Fancy feast as a special something. Poor kitty, feel better soon!

cat Fight, fight, fight

Yaffa and Sebastian love to play cat fight. If I knew how to use the video recorder on my camera, this would be a video, but here are 3 pictures instead. They are so cute, they "pat" each other on the head and pretend they are fighting and pretend bite each other. They love playing this game. If Dante was in this mix, he wouldn't be pretending, he'd be doing the real bitey.

The Rockettes!

Last month we were invited by friends to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular! What a show! It was our first time seeing it and it was amazing! The Rockettes were stunning and fantastic dancers! If you ever get a chance, it's a show you should not miss!!

The wooden soldiers, this was so neat to see! They were all moving together!

Vacuum Problems


Our new vacuum was acting funny. It seemed to not be sucking up any dirt like it used to. So we investigated the suction hose, and pulled out this toy mousey. Haha, we must have sucked it up accidentally. It was full of dust so we gave it a good washing. Poor little mousey! Thank goodness we found out the vacuum problem.

Hello Jim Gaffigan


One of the highlights of this year, (besides getting married) was seeing Jim Gaffigan LIVE in person at Town Hall in Times Square. Oh my goodness, if you don't know Jim Gaffigan, search for him on You Tube. He is by far the funniest comedian out there. He is on tour right now, called The Sexy Tour, and we had the best seats. We sat in row H of the Orchestra. Front and center. I laughed and laughed and laughed. It was fantastic. AND the best part, after the show, Jim Gaffigan came out to the lobby to SIGN AUTOGRAPHS. Not only did I get to meet him and shake his hand, I also got him to sign my ticket. Rock and Roll!! The only thing I wish was that they would allow us to take photos. There was absolutely no photography allowed at the show. Even in the lobby. Darn!

Yaffa being affectionate kitty


Yaffa was a street cat when we found her and became our forever kitty. She never was very affectionate when we first got her. She used to hide under things, the couch, the bed, the closet. She still does from time to time. Whenever she is scared, whenever she sees Dante kitty. She also hates being picked up, hugged, and sitting on us beans laps. But lately, she's been more affectionate, and there has been a few times where she actually would sit on my lap. Mom bean's lap. She loves dad bean, she always jumps on his lap, but me, not so much. It's so nice that she gives me her attention now!!

I Like Fish Toys






This is Dante kitty playing with one of his favorite cat toys. He loves anything that is tied to a string and stick. This is a fishy, with a little bell on it. He gets so excited whenever he sees this toy. See how he does the bitey?

In our last post, "the staredown", I wanted to followup with that and mention that Dante is on a leash for his protection and for the safety of the other cats. We have had Dante be off his leash a few times, and the second he sees the other cats, he races over to them and takes a huge bite out of their fur. Big clumps of fur comes off and he's very aggressive. Yaffa and Sebastian are very docile cats and they don't fight back. So... we've resorted to putting the leash on Dante because he really doesn't know how to play nice at all, and the water spray bottle does very little to deter him. He even does the lunge and bite thing on us beans. And I can attest that it hurts, he's broken skin and made us bleed a couple of times. He's still a young kitty, so I'm hoping the older he gets, the calmer he will be. I just can't imagine what his previous owner did to him to make him not trust anyone or any other kitty.
All we can do is to be patient as possible, and introduce the cats while keeping all safe.

The Staredown



This staredown reminds me of two western cowboys about to have a fight. Dante is still as bad as ever, and can't be trusted without his leash. He always lunges after Sebastian and Yaffa and wants to give them a big bitey and scratches. Dante kitty has to learn to be in the same room with them without wanting to hurt them. I'm starting to feel like that day will never come.

Afternoon naps


Don't you just love lazy afternoon naps? It's so great for cuddling and keeping warm. I smile when I see this photo!! Notice the towel underneath Sebastian and Yaffa. That poor chair gets so much cat hair!
