Hunt For Mom's Day Cake

We are enjoying a typical Oregon spring,
Minute to minute switches from cold to warm,
from dark to sunny, from clear to rain to hail,
A still warm ambient air with a biting cold wind,...

Despite or maybe because of this,
the boys have been excited to head outside.

Today we were on a quest,... to find cake.

T and Les headed South to look,...

Any luck yet little V-man,... ?

Hi Uschi, how is your search going?

Your hat smells good,...

Oh-boy we think this might be it,...

Yeah !!!! Cake Time!!!

Birdie V

Uschi and I were in the shed when we
heard a commotion by the house,...

I arrived in time to find,...

Vladi leaving the house with a bird in his mouth,...
(Most likely a juvenile Spotted Towhee)

He caught it and then went home with it,...
(We left the door open during our walk to air out the "cat-house")

He wouldn't let it go,...

Until I scruffed his neck,...

It flew away with V in hot pursuit.

It regrouped in a small oak, with an EXCITED V chirping below.

It was off when V started up,...

Leaping into pursuit,...

Zoooooming

Awkwardly bounding through the deep green grass.

Les ran after him,...

Bounding,...

Away,...

Daaad, I don't think meowme is happy with me,...

Big Piggin'

No trip to PetCo is a little trip. When all of the canned food,
packets, dry food, cat litter, and toys are in the cart, the total
always rivals our trips to the grocery store (which also typically
includes a few cat goodies). The cashiers always ask:
How many cats DO you have?

T happily rolling around on the shopping bags,...

Let's get some of these babies open.

I'm skinny, I need food NOW.

Tanji On High Alert

On the day of the royal wedding, T, U, V's mom Skye gave birth to eight (!) kittens. Half-brothers & sisters of our boys, and a few of the kittens even have spots shaped just like Tanji's. In case Les wasn't squealing enough already, the boys' Aunt Kelli posted photos of rescue kittens up for adoption at the Cheetahsden website. More squealing. This attracted Tanji's attention. He may remember similar noises from back in 2007 when little brother Vladimir was born.

Don't even think about it, Mom!

Don't worry Tanji, we can barely handle you three.

Happiness

To everyone, happiness is a little something different: a warm cup of cocoa, the scent of sea air, a hug from a friend, or a favorite song on the radio. To Uschi, happiness is any piece of quilted Vera Bradley: a place mat, a tennis bag, a coin purse. Its the little things that make us happy.
