Amarula

A Bedtime Miracle!

by

I was getting ready for bed doing some nighttime reading and suddenly noticed this: Amarula sleeping peacefully by Zulu! (And how cute does Zulu look!? He’s my best cuddler!)

As though sensing something was amiss, Amarula leapt up and looked as though she couldn’t believe her own eyes

She even took a big sniff of Zulu to make sure she wasn’t imagining things!

AMARULA: Clearly I had too much catnip before bed! I am outta here

ZULU: More room for me! Zzzzzzzzzz

Amarula’s Reputation is Ruined

by

Amarula doesn’t like people to know about her softer side but she loves lying beside me on the bed as I read

AMARULA: You better not be writing about how cute I am! You know how I hate that. I am not lying beside you, I just had a fainting spell and it’s taking me awhile to recover. The fact that it happened beside you is nothing more than a coincidence.

AMARULA: My reputation is never going to recover!

Amarula is Feeling Blue

by

I have a blue jay that is so smart he actually comes and sits on my garage roof and stares at me while I work at my desk–he stares until i come out and put some peanuts on the porch. He practically takes them from my hand!

And when he doesn’t see me at my desk he comes to the kitchen window to check if I am there. Blue jays are known to be smart but this guy is a genius. Sometimes he gets so insistent on me bringing him a constant supply of fresh peanuts that I actually have to close my blinds so I can get some work done!

Amarula does not find the little guy quite as charming as I do!

Even Amarula’s threatening presence doesn’t scare the little guy off!

In fact, I’ve even seen him engaging in staring contests with Amarula and he always wins (don’t tell her I told you that!)

AMARULA: Open this window so I can introduce this Cobalt Cretin to my Claws of Death!

Frodo Gets Cuddly

by

It may surprise many of you to learn that despite Frodo being a giant love bug and having a major passion for cuddling with his bro Zulu in front of the fire (and despite his fruitless efforts to snuggle with Amarula) he has only recently started to crawl in bed and cuddle in the early morning hours. He sometimes does a bit of cuddling at night before bed while I read but then he usually skedaddles as I fall asleep.

I am thrilled waking up to this adorable face!

FRODO: I love this together time but don’t you think you should start getting our breakfast ready?

AMARULA: Cute?!?! It’s disgusting! Don’t expect me to do any cuddling with that orange menace on the bed! I’m staying on the bedside table where it’s safe!

A Catnapping Tortie

by

We had 10 inches of snow yesterday and it started snowing again just now but all is well with the world when you’re sitting next to a sleeping tortie!

Ahhhhhhhh

I mean is there anything cuter?!?!

oh oh! A woken up tortie is more dangerous than cute

AMARULA: That’s the smartest thing you’ve said all day! Who dares to wake a sleeping tortie? Now let me get back to my beauty sleep (though I clearly don’t need it)

Frodo and Amarula Go Birding

by

You may recall from a couple of posts ago, that Amarula has become fascinated with bird TV.

She especially loves it on the large TV screen

AMARULA: Insolent bird! How dare you look me in the eyes! Why are you not quaking with fear?

Well after watching his sister have so much fun, Frodo decided to get into the action.

FRODO: Hi Mr. Bird

FRODO: You know I hate to say it but I don’t see what Amarula finds so fascinating about birds. They don’t seem to be great conversationalists at all!

Amarula Goes Birding

by

Who knew Amarula was a bird lover?

Birding is one of my hobbies and i was watching a nature video and Amarula was transfixed!

AMARULA: Why can’t I bite this darn squirrel! Why is it not running away in fear?

She kept looking behind the computer to see where the bird was

AMARULA: You better stop laughing human and help me get this bird because one way or another I will be biting something in the next few seconds!

Enjoy this short video of Amarula touching the screen trying to grab the bird.

Happy Holidays!

by

ZULU: I wonder if actual reindeer ever felt this humiliated?

AMARULA: Bah humbug!

AMARULA: I think we both know that if you don’t get this ridiculous outfit off me right now one of us will be spending Christmas in the emergency ward.

FRODO: I love dressing up like Santa! Why do I only get to do it once a year?

FRODO: Though I can’t help feeling that this outfit used to fit me a whole lot better. Mom must have accidentally shrunk it in the wash

Merry Christmas to all!
