Happy Independence Day!

Happy Fourth of July!

Today was a beautiful day to celebrate in style.

While we have a good time, it can be a stressful day

(and night) for the kitties.

Its 9 p.m. and the fireworks are just starting outside.

Tanji is not amused.

Ahhh, this makes it all better.

Vladi's Leap Day

On leap day Vladi was drinking from the pond,...

What? .... I like Giardia,...

Spring,... (tail forward)

Zooom,... (Tail shifting back)

There goes V-Man,... (Tail down in aero)

Bush-Whacking,...

A quick stop to stretch,...

Then back the other way,...

Getting ready to change directions again,...

Leaping over some of last years lupines,...

Leaping again,...

Zoooom,...

Leaping into a cherry tree,...

Happy leap day.

V-Day Continues

Valentine's Day is continuing around the house...

Kissie, kissie, kissie!

Sweets for the sweetie.

How about a rose, Tanji?
It smells too rose-y, this must be a gift for...

Ferdinand!

The most beloved V-day treat of all.

Be My Valentine

Les got out the paint and glitter

to make valentines for the boys.

Uschi, do you want to be my valentine?

I'm not sure, this looks like shoddy construction...

Maybe if I swat it, it'll go away...

This doesn't even taste good...

Oh, O.K., whatever. I'll be your valentine.

Tanji, will you be my valentine?

For me?

I'm a good boy, I'm not supposed to shred shiny things.

Not as exciting as I thought it would be.

Vladi, do you want to be my valentine?

Yes, please!!!
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!

For Vladi, every day is Valentine's Day.

More Christmas Fun

Christmas is time for plenty of hugs and

gifts to unwrap and play with.

What did Grandmeow get us boys?

Ribbon!
(at least with close supervision)

And shirts to wear while hugging...

Uschi!

Did I get anything?

Oooh, a paper cave...

...and more ribbon!
Totally spoiled kittens, just the way we like them.

Les is styling in her new winter wear.

What do you think Uschi?

Usch is already fast asleep under "his" new wrapping paper.

Christmas Part II

Even though we had been away for a few days, the boys

had been taken care of by someone they knew (thanks Evan!),
so they were in high spirits when we arrived home...

C'mon, its time for presents from Grandmeow!

I've got this one!

Opening boxes is serious business.

Ribbon, please.

Poor Vladi always gets decorated.

There better be something for me.

Perfect, this is mine!

Uschi's best present is some time with his Daaaaddddd
(he's giving me a loving look).

Look Vladi, this one has your name on it!

Its not just the boys having fun.

If this is a tube top, I think its too big.

Yes, very funny.

A gift tag makes the perfect sized toy...

...So does a scrap of wrapping paper.
We have "Elf" playing in the background.
In Las Vegas we watched Miracle of 34th Street
and Its a Wonderful Life.

All of the Christmas excitement has degenerated into a wrestling match.

The boys are getting tired, its been a big day.

We'll save the presents from their other Grandmeow for later.
