Poor Sweet Pea… last night DH was feeding the cats their dinner when there was no sign of Sweet Pea. Now we have the plates all prepared for them, so we know when someone doesn’t come to dinner. I set off in search of her checking the bedroom, bathroom, and basement. All to no avail…when [...]

Coco has a sweater. This pattern is from Doggie Knits and is the Piccolo Sweater.

The girls had their first taste of catnip here. [...]

She’s also getting this extra-warm EZ hat. I [...]

Not to be out done Jasmine has decided to cuddle with Faygo, who seems to be doing much better.
Faygo kitty…with [...]

So the girls are getting comfortable around here. They sat up on the sofa the other night and hung out with us.
Unfortunately Faygo’s eye wouldn’t heal after 3 months of various treatments.
So yesterday he had to have his eye out. It was very painful for him and he had lost more weight. So having it [...]

So first up we have Madison who decided to fish out a old piece of spaghetti when I was cleaning the pot and give it a good play. I let her at it and at some point she just chewed it up and I found it’s remains on the counter. Great at playing – not [...]
