Not a lot to report on the cat front over Christmas... they awoke briefly to eat then went to sleep again. Pepper was prodded into wakefulness long enough to have her photo taken with some of their new toys, and Charlie was 'persuaded; to have his photo taken with David (ha!)'.
Pepper 'the paw' strikes again...
The red and white stripey toys were made by Sandra for the cats.
Janet bought them the catnip mice.
David and Charlie take part in the age-old Boxing Day tradition
of 'Cat Wrestling'.
(The cat usually wins).
Anyone else reminded of that cartoon,
'I will hug him and pet him, and I will call him George'?!?

Charlie can't believe
that Laurie said yesterday that
Pepper was her favourite cat...
... and here he is hoping that Penny
will be along soon to mollify his feelings.
For more post-Christmas kitties visit Gattina's Cats on Tuesday.
That's "Catmas", they don't bother except that there is good food and therefore useful to interrupt the daily nap !
ReplyDeleteIn our house every day is Catmas. It has to be. Au insists!
ReplyDeleteHere I am, Charlie! You called??? Of course you're my favourite cat! I think the other cats are gorgeous and sweet, but you! What can I say? You're beautiful, photogenic and feisty! My kind of chap!!!
ReplyDelete(Barbara, I realise it's easy to feel like this about Charlie from a safe distance... :o) )
Penny
Penny: LOL! He is all of those things - he's just also rather, er, strong minded! :O))
ReplyDeleteIs that Pepper in the first picture? I love pictures of cats playing with their toys!
ReplyDeleteI can see Charlie was just thrilled to be wrestling with David. :) At least it looks like you had a calm Christmas. Happy New Year, Barbara and David.
ReplyDeletePepper's pretty darn cute! So is Charlie! they are both my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new toys in between the naps.
Oh my goodness, you crack me up with your commentary. I have to admit I am NOT a "cat person"...please don't hate me now :). BUT....your children are starting to convert me. Love it.
ReplyDeleteKathy
we cannot believe it's been ages since our last visit here. we blame the human and her supposedly busy schedule over the holidays for that omission.
ReplyDeleteboy you got pretty shiny new toys. can we come over and play with you?
Emma and Buster
Meowy Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteIrishcoda: Yes that's the little minx herself. She loves playing with things, her favourite is a plastic ring that she runs after and likes you to throw for her.
ReplyDeleteKathy: Not a cat person??!?? And you seemed so normal too ;O) Never mind, stick around long enough and you too will be yearning for a kitty under your Christmas tree (and possibly up the Christmas tree trying to knock it over and maul the fairy at the top).
Well, I guess the cat is really out of the bag now, huh? (*snork*) I didn't realize that Charlie has access to your blog and the ability to read English, or I never would have been insensitive enough to declare my favoritism in print! (Or maybe Charlie can't read, but SOMEONE, whose name shall not be mentioned but whose initials are BARBARA, blabbed!) LOL
ReplyDeleteLaloofah: I cannot tell a lie - it was David :O)))
ReplyDeleteThat troublemaker. Now we know who Charlie takes after! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMe too got stripemousies from Santa Paws :)
ReplyDeleteMy humans left me all alone all CATmas eve without any food or water !!
What are you saying mom ??
I´m exaggerating now again ??
You where only away for a couple of hours when I was asleep.
OK I was exaggeratig a little bit :)
Kjelle Bus: But it SEEMED like forever when they left you, you poor soul. I bet you were starving too (I have a tear in my eye just thinking about it), sniff sniff ;O)
