New Year’s Party

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Oldcat

Ok, not really.  Instead we had some serious kitten-napping on a high shelf.  I like this better when the two of them start a fight up there. Davout did have a little party with the camera strap.  Still the #1 … Continue reading →

Old Things are New Again

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Oldcat

It was another nice day for toys.  I dug up this old enclosed trackball scratcher toy when I saw the kittens going nuts for some balls in a box – to the point of pushing the box halfway across the … Continue reading →

Play Day

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Oldcat

The kittens were playing with the mouse-fishing toy most of the day and it is almost out of batteries.  One amusing thing is that it responds to the television remote control.  For the evening I brought out the ‘Da Bird’ … Continue reading →

Fun and Games

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Oldcat

The kittens are on a strange schedule right now.  They are pretty active at breakfast time and late in the evening and snooze most of the afternoon away.  I hope I can get the stinkers time-shifted or else there will … Continue reading →

Kitten Capers

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Oldcat

Davout knows how to handle the rare “candy striped mouse” breed in all their fury. Rhea was playing with this toy…then it started to play back!  It somehow picked up some static electricity and found her very attractive.  She would … Continue reading →

Grandstanding

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Oldcat

Lately Julie has been pretty cranky about not getting to go outside often – even in the middle of the evening.  It was a good sign that the kittens did not run off and hide during his tirade and instead … Continue reading →

Signs of Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2013 by Oldcat

This Christmas is the first in a decade or more with kittens.  So unlike other years where a toy or two suffices for everyone, today there are about 40 around, both old and new.  This motorized ‘cat fisher’ toy is … Continue reading →

The Night Before Christmas…

Posted on December 24, 2013 by Oldcat

Well with all these cats, for sure there aren’t any mice stirring.  The weather has warmed up and left us all a bit worn out.  Even the kittens are sleeping right now. Nice set of whiskers you have there Mister … Continue reading →

Christmas Poster?

Posted on December 23, 2013 by Oldcat

I’m not much into decorating the house, since the cats don’t mind either way.  I do have this little ornament that fits right in.  Rhea was just woken up, so she sat still for pose for quite a while. They … Continue reading →

White Christmas?

Posted on December 22, 2013 by Oldcat

The kittens have been finding new spots to sit.  Today it was on top of a work table, which gives a nice white background. They have been sleeping in a kitten pile much of the afternoon except when it was … Continue reading →
