The Boys are Back

The boys are back to doing what they do best…nothing!


As long as it’s in front of the fire they can do nothing all day and night long!

Mom’s off to a winter escape in Anguilla for a week so it might take her awhile to visit other blogs but don’t worry about us cause her brother is moving in for the week to catsit us and he has promised to keep the fireplace on full time!!

Going Gray!

Zulu likes to hang out with me when I work and today I noticed something odd…

He is getting quite gray. He’s only 12 years old so I was surprised.

I have never had a cat go gray before. Has anyone else? Is it normal? Regardless, I think it makes him look very distinguished!

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!

It’s Zulu and Frodo’s fav time of the year. No, not Christmas. Today was the first day mom turned on the fireplace. What we humans know as winter, the felines call “fireplace season”

Get your snuggle on!

It will be tough, but I think Frodo and Zulu will somehow manage to struggle through the winter!

Adorable Overload

Look what I get to wake up to every morning

Well not every morning. Zulu sleeps with me every night but Frodo only occasionally joins us.

 

FRODO: Oh Oh. I see mom spotted me opening my eyes

FRODO: Zulu don’t open your eyes or mom might think it’s time to get up!

ZULU: Shhhh. Just close your eyes buddy and go back to sleep. You make a great pillow by the way!

Zulu Interrupted!

ZULU: Feast your eyes ladies! Yes I really am this handsome–no photo editing!

ZULU: And I always make sure I look my best with extra grooming

AMARULA: No one is interested Zulu. We all know who the real beauty is in this house!

ZULU: Why must you always interrupt my photo shoots Amarula!

ZULU: Is someone going to remove the tortie!!??

AMARULA: I’m ready for my closeup!

A Bedtime Miracle!

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

Ignorance is Bliss?

I’ve got a problem. This is Zulu’s favorite table to sleep on (or under, to be more accurate) and it is really on its last legs.

I think it won’t last the summer.  Certainly it won’t make it to next year. And I have not been able to find another 2-tier table like it.

But ZULU loves it so much!

It gives him shade but he can pop his head out when he wants more sun. So should I tell him about the impending demise of his table or just let him enjoy his last summer with it?

Maybe ignorance is bliss?

Brotherly Love

Frodo and Zulu usually get along very well but every once in awhile Frodo gets to be too much with his constant need for attention and affection and he just won’t leave Zulu alone. When this happens Zulu gets this look in his eyes and I know he’s about to put Frodo in his place. A few minutes later they are back to washing each other!

ZULU: Come on mom. I love the guy but even you have to admit he can get to be too much sometimes! A big brother’s job is to keep a younger brother in his place!

FRODO: Even I have to admit Zulu is right. I can sometimes be too much of a good thing!
