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.

Mesmerized by the presents

Sebastian was completely in awe of all the Christmas presents we had accumulated in the apartment. He was so curious as to where all these bags and packages had come from. He was mesmerized by it all. I'm sure he was thinking, hope some of these are for me. If not, I'll just claim them as my own anyway. Hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Cold nights = lots of hugs

Winter is definitely in full swing. Our apartment gets pretty drafty and cold. So it's no surprise that the cats love to hug each other to stay snuggly warm. It's so cute. The 3rd photo is especially cute. If you look closely, you can see Yaffa has her arm around Sebastian and Sebastian has his arm around yaffa. Awwwww.

Mommy Kisses

Mommy likes to give Sebastian a bath, which I call mommy kisses. I always catch them grooming each other. It's the cutest thing ever.

Mid afternoon nap

The cats love to take afternoon naps. Especially Yaffa. Look how sweet she looks. This is such a great photo of her. She looks so relaxed.

My Tree

This week, we got our Christmas tree. And ever since, the cats have been hanging out underneath it. They love it, they've been taking a nap under the tree. And checking out the presents. Little kitties, they love Christmas just as much as we do!

Checking out mom and dad's new toy

So this weekend, we were installing our new "toy" and Christmas present to ourselves. Sebastian was admiring the installation and checking out what all the fuss was about. He thought the Toy was ok. He still prefers his mouseys more than this flat screen thing.

Free Cat Toy

A new Petco opened up near my parent's house. They went to check it out during the grand opening and Petco was giving away toys to celebrate the store opening. So Sebastian and Yaffa got some fun toys to play with. One of the toys was pretty neat, you hang it in a door way, and there is a string tied to a white furry mousey. Oh boy, did Sebastian love that toy. First he loves furry mouseys but put it on a string and instant P A R T Y.

Lap Cat

Sebastian Kitty has slowly become a lap cat. When he feels like cuddling, he'll jump in Kyle's lap so he can get a pat of the head, and rub of the belly. As a kitten, he didn't like to cuddle like that. But he just turned 2, maybe with age, he's wanting more huggy time.

We received our email today for the Winter Secret paws. We are sooooo excited since we missed out on the last Secret Paws. We can't wait to get the package together! It is going to be so much fun!

Sitting Pretty

The cats had a fun time over the Thanksgiving holiday. We had friends over for a party, and the cats were mingling with the visitors. When all had left, they were tired out, so they took some time to relax.
