Lazy Sunday

Just came back from a day of Easter festivities, and found the cats lounging. Enjoying the sun, the comfy couch and the lazy Sunday. Wishing you all a happy Easter!

Happy Spring!

Diva Kitty and the Fluffies sent us a nice e-card to wish us a Happy Spring. How nice it was to get an unexpected greeting card on this "New Spring" day! They have some nice flower photos on their blog today. http://divakitty.wordpress.com/ Which makes me think about spring. Oh I wish flowers would spring up around our neck of the woods. Although, It feels spring like out in New York City today, it's very sunny and 47 degrees. Which is warm for us! Wishing everyone a happy spring.

Murphy's Law

Yesterday I blogged about how Yaffa Kitty does not like to cuddle. She wanted to prove me wrong. Last night, when Kyle came home, she jumped right on his lap as we were sitting on the couch. See mom, she said, I do like to cuddle!! (She's more cuddly with Dad Kyle then she is with me, Mom.

Thanks Daisy for the blogroll advice. I just added it yesterday, and started moving my Kitty's friends links over. We are so happy you told us about this, because it is SO much easier to add our friends' links now!! Yipee!!

My Couch Friend

Yaffa kitty isn't much of a cuddle kitty since she was a street cat when we found her. But once in awhile she likes to sit on the couch with me and "cuddle" or hang out. Here she is sitting beside me on the couch watching TV with me. Everyday, little Yaffa gets more at ease with being cuddled and held. It's a long road though. She still fiddles when you pick her up, at most it usually lasts 10 seconds before she squirms. I'm still working on it though. I know she'll one day let me hug her longer.

Does any cat bloggers who use Blogger know how to implement the "new post" feature on Kitty friend links? I would love to implement this but don't know how to.

My Towels

One of Sebastian's favorite thing to do lately is to jump on my bath towels after I come out of the shower in the morning. I am usually in a mad rush in the morning, so I throw the bath towels and robe on the bed as I get dressed for work. When I turn around to find clothes to wear in the closet, Sebastian decides this is the best time to make his move. He wastes no time getting comfortable in the pile of soft fluffy towels! I especially love this close up photo of him. How cute is he!!

My hiding spot

This is Yaffa's new hiding spot, although it is not much of a hiding spot since it's completely see through. She seems to love hiding under the fish tank for some reason. Sebastian doesn't like it under there but he enjoys sitting next to her and tapping his paw to touch her.

It's a Pony!

Kyle's mom got a fantastic present for Christmas. A Pony! I finally got around to posting the photo of the pony to our blog. The pony's name is Grace and she is so cute. Look at her great hair. We are so excited, we are visiting them in May.

Spring is Near

This past Saturday we forwarded the clock an hour, and almost immediately it started to feel like spring! On Sunday, the sun was shining and it was getting warmer out. We even opened the windows and moved a chair close to the window to allow the cats to look outside the window at the chirping birds. We have a screen in the window though, since we live on the 3rd floor. But the cats could get a good view of the spring like weather! Sorry for the dark photo, the sun was shining brightly!

Cold, cold, go away

All of last week, I was plagued with flu like symptoms. Being sick has been the worst! I still have remnants of a cold, but I'm finally feeling better so I can blog again. Here is a photo of Sebastian hanging out on the bed with me. Doesn't he look like he's saying, "get writing already mom!".

Sitting Pretty on a Sunny Sunday

It's been a couple of days since I last posted to the blog. I feel terrible about it. However, I haven't been feeling well, been sick with a cold these last couple of days, fever, runny nose, headache, sore throat. Yuk! I'm starting to feel a little better, and wanted to share these photos that I took on my camera phone this past Sunday. The sun was beaming into the living room window, and both kitties were enjoying the sun, by sitting on top of the couch ledge. Yaffa was sitting there first, and Sebastian being the copy cat that he is, jumped up on the couch to join his mommy.

Tiny tiny kitten

I saw this video of this kitten and it got me so nostalgic of when Sebastian was a little Kitty. Oh, Sebastian was so adorable when he was a tiny guy, he was the runt of the bunch. He was the tiniest of the litter, and with the most personality. Sometimes I look at him and all I see is that little baby kitten he once was. Adorable. Click on the photo to view the video.

Lap Cat Kitty Again!!

Even though I see this occurrence just about every day now, I still get a kick out of seeing little Sebastian Kitty jumping up on the couch to sit snuggly on Kyle's lap. He really loves cuddling with him. He doesn't however do that with me. Kyle says its because I'm not in the boys club. They have some weird camaraderie going on where no girls are allowed. I do get jealous, because I would like some cuddle time with Sebastian. Oh well, at least Yaffa will sit on my lap once in a blue moon.

Little Attacking Bird

This is one of the strangest videos ever! If this kitty was Sebastian, that little bird would be in his mouth already. This kitty doesn't even seem to care at all, he doesn't even bother looking in its direction. Click on the photo to view the video.

That's my Drink!

Lately, Sebastian's favorite toy has been drink straws. I've witnessed him steal my straws right out of my drinks before. I'll walk away, and when I'm not looking whammo, stolen straw.

Kitty & Her Computer

This past weekend I was working on some freelance design projects, and Yaffa Kitty wanted to help me. She was watching me work. Move that graphic here mom. Use this font there. She is such a helpful little kitty!

Pretty Neat, Swimming Cat

I found this neat video of this cat taking a bath / swim. When Sebastian kitty was a little kitten, he used to love sinks and the bathtub. He always went right up to the faucet. We thought he would swim one day, but one time when I was getting a bath ready, he fell in, and jump right out of the tub. He didn't like getting soaked. It's one thing to play with the faucet it's another to be completely drenched with water. Click on the thumbnail photo to view the video.

Lap Cat Kitty

Sebastian Kitty has become very much a lap cat. However, he only does it with Kyle, not with me. Just about everyday, sometimes twice a day, while Kyle is watching TV, he jumps on top of his lap and hangs out. He loves to cuddle and snuggle with him. They are like best friends. Best friend kitty.

Yaffa's favorite sleeping spot

One of Yaffa's favorite places to sleep is in between Kyle's legs when he's sleeping in bed. She loves to snuggly in there, because it keeps her nice and warm and night. Kyle usually sleeps on his stomach so sometimes he doesn't realize little Kitty is on top of him. And then when he tries to get up, he's trapped because Yaffa won't let him.

Yummy Ears

How cute are these two? The little puppy is so playful with this cat. And so tiny compared to the cat. The cat doesn't seem to mind that the puppy is jumping all over it, all the cat wants to do is eat their food. But the puppy wants to eat the cat's ear. Adorable.

My New Bed

Sebastian Kitty has found himself a new bed. Lately, he's loving the cat naps he takes on top of Kyle's work bag. Check out his cute face. Look at his eyes, they are so sleepy. We are not sure why he likes to sleep on the bag. It doesn't look at all comfortable. Silly kitty!

Visit the Friday Ark.

Kitty Bellyrub

Every once in awhile, little Sebastian Kitty loves a good belly rub. He can be finicky about it though. He has to be in the right mood for it, but when he is, oh man, does he love being scratched and tickled on his belly. His other favorite thing is when he allows us to give him a paw rub. It gets him so relaxed and sleepy. Lucky cat!

Hi Five Kitty

I really get a kick out of cats who do tricks. I've never seen a cat do this trick. Check out this kitty doing a hi-hive. I wonder if I can teach Sebastian how to do this. It's too bad he hates treats. Click on the thumbnail photo to view video.

Cat trick

I found this funny video where this cat is doing a funny trick. I've always seen this in cartoons, but never on an actual cat. Pretty funny. Click on the image to view video.

My Favorite Store!

Here is Sebastian kitty taking a nap on the catalog of our favorite store. We went to Ikea 2 weeks ago to pick up some dining room furniture. It's not our favorite store for the quality of the furniture. The furniture can be cheaply made. However, it's our favorite store, because everytime you go there, it's an experience. They have these great showrooms that allow you to envision what your house could look like. It's kinda fun to imagine. We picked up a catalog to bring home. Sebastian, since he loves sleeping on magazines jumped at a chance to sleep on top of it.

Visit this week's carnival.

Cute tail wagging kitties

I love how this video shows these 2 sleeping cats wagging tails to the music. So adorable. And look how they are sleeping!! I just want to rub their belly! Click on the thumbnail photo to view the video.

Happy Valentine's Day

Apologies, I've been posting a lot of non Sebastian and Yaffa entries lately. Here is one to make up for it. Yesterday Sebastian little kitty was checking out the Valentine's gift that I gave Kyle. Oooh, a new printer, he seemed to be saying, it's mine? We've needed a new printer for the longest time. The last one we had, the holder for the ink was broken, so we had tape holding it together. It didn't work that well though. It was printing nothing or would create paper jams. New printer at last!!

A Good Cause

I just read about these cats at the shelter near our house and it just broke my heart. If it was at all even possible to allow for more cats in our tiny apartment I would definitely bring them home. But we're already 2 adults and 2 cats in a one bedroom apartment, and just about out of space. Instead, I thought it'd be a good idea to spread the word. Write about it on our blog, and maybe some kind cat bloggers out there will want to help out. I decided I will stop by the shelter this weekend, and bring by a donation and maybe some cat toys and cat treats. Thank goodness for no-kill shelters like BARC. What a great organization.

Here is a link to the story.

Strange things on the web

I've been obsessed lately with finding strange things on the web related to cats. This one video in particular was on Revver. I'm not really sure how the cat got in that tub will all those birds. It's all kind of bizarre to me. Click on the thumbnail to view the video. If this was Sebastian, the chicks would be in his mouth already.

Kitty Wigs & a Good Cause

I saw this website online and I absolutely loved it. You can buy different kinds of wigs for your cat. Kudos to Kitty Wigs for donating 20% of their profit to the ASPCA. Hmm, I wonder how Yaffa and Sebastian would look with a wig on?

Go to the site.http://kittywigs.com/pink.html

Relax-o-kitty

I call this the Sebastian Relax-O-Kitty shot. He's so good at lounging around and getting very relaxed and comfortable. What a great life kittys have!

Nice Warm Spot.

All the plants and junk on top of our radiator doesn't stop little Mr. Sebastian Kitty from lounging up there and enjoying the warm seat. The other day, we found one of the bulb Paper White flowers on the floor, and the vase cracked into many pieces. I wonder who did that....

Pinanta! Ole!

My niece is having a birthday party this weekend, and I decided to get her a pinata since it's her first birthday. The cats got such a kick out of the butterfly pinata. They were so curious since they had no idea what it was. They kept sniffing it. I think they were waiting for me to look away so they could attack it. Funny kittys.

Child Prodigy

I came across this remarkable video today. A story about a 10-year-old who just graduated college and became a veterinarian. Talk about a child prodigy. That is just amazing!

That's a lot of cats!

I don't usually post anything not related to our cats, Yaffa and Sebastian, however, a friend of mine showed me this video on You Tube, and I had to post it here for anyone who has not seen it. I admire a woman who rescue cats, being that we rescued Yaffa off the street. But I can't imagine having so many in one little apartment. All I can say is WOW.

Recent cuddling

Yesterday, I found the cats cuddling with each other, in their usual cute ways. It's so adorable how they comfort each other when it is chilly out. It's like a ball of cats.

Here comes the sun

When the mid-afternoon sun starts to set, the rays come into our living room window. Yaffa takes advantage of this and sits on top of the couch to catch the rays. I love how she knows all the best spots in the house to stay warm.

Staying Warm

It's been wicked cold lately, with temperatures dropping down to 30F, though with the wind feels like it's 10 degrees. The cats however know the best place to stay warm and snuggly.

Hiding

Guess who loves to hide behind the couch? When the cats are chasing each other, Sebastian likes to go back there. Funny guy. Peek-a-boo I see you.

My remote

Sebastian and I like to sit on the couch and watch tv together. Although, he loves to hog the remote control. Sorry this photo is blurry, but if you look closely, see how his arm is squarely planted on top of the remote. As if he's guarding it. This is him forcing me to watch National Geographic.

Fun Xmas Toys

Sebastian and Yaffa got some really great toys from their aunties and uncles this Christmas. Check out the one they got from Uncle Joe and Aunt May. Its this really neat toy with a furry mouse on the top, and inside there are two balls that go around and around in a circle. It is hours of endless fun! If only Christmas could be every day! Yaffa really enjoys the toy. She keeps thinking she can catch the little ball. Oh silly Yaffa.

Where's my tree?

Ever since we took down the Christmas tree, the cats has noticed something is missing. The cats loved to sit under the tree. The smell and the pine needles were irresistable. But we had to throw out the tree, because it was a fire hazard, all dry and brittle. For the last 3 days, Sebastian has been sitting in the spot where the tree once was. Poor little kitty. If they still sold Christmas trees after the holidays, we would certainly get another one for him.

Boxes are my friend

During the holidays when we were wrapping presents, we were interrupted by very curious cats. Here's a good shot of Sebastian lounging on a box we were trying to wrap. Ever since Sebastian was a kitten, he's always had a fondness for boxes. Boxes are his friend.

We got our Secret Paw!!

We came back from Holiday to find that we had received our secret paws package. Above are pictures of us having fun opening the package. Thank you Sebastian, Felony, and Tsuki! We especially liked the handknit catnip mouse. We loved that idea and we are going to get mommy to knit us some as well. Mom has picked up knitting this winter, so it's a perfect solution for all that extra catnip we have in the cupboard. We also loved the treats. and other toys. Thank you again for a fun package, and happy new year.
