A Warning about Holiday Excesses

This is what happens when you give in to the old "just one more" rational: unconscious in a planter full of catnip. Let's welcome December by raising a glass to moderation.

And again...

And finally, yes that's drool.

Sleepy Kitties - The Expanded Edition

Now that we are getting close to the end of NaBloPoMo (and also close to the end of my supply of Minou pictures) let's take a look at some other drowsy felines of note.

Exhibit  A: Parlez Vous Chou-Chou - Lapwarmer Extraordinaire.

My Grandma's Sideboard

She wanted to give our fore-bearers equal time I guess.

Jim's Mom's Scandinavian Buffett

Pretty sure this is not what the Scandinavians planned to serve up.

Me and My Pine Martin

At the top of the armoire with her favorite talking toy.

All Your Box Are Belong To Us

Large, small, round, square, empty, or full of crap - they are hers for the napping.

Not So Cozy

This box is not as form fitting as she is accustomed to but she is making the best if it.

Hop on Pop

Don't ask me how she can sleep like that. At one point I think they were both asleep

Summer Time

Child, the livin's easy.

Shop Cat

No amount of sawing, hammering or other random loud obnoxious noise disturbs her when she is in garage mode.

Lazy Days

Summer afternoons are made for resting up after a long night out surveying her territory.

On Display

She is not shy about wanting to be the center of attention, on her terms of course.

She Was A Yoga Teacher In a Former Life

Every time I start a yoga session online I can hear her little feet traipsing up the stairs to join me. The only problem is she wants to do savasana 5 minutes into the practice. Not really so helpful.

Just Keep Playing...

I'll let you know when I'm done with the case.

Grandma's Dresses

Second only to sleeping on Grandma herself.

Life is Short, Nap Hard

This was taken when Minou was still technically a stray. She showed up hungry, got fed, and stayed. We think a neighbor moved and left her behind, and are glad they did because clearly they didn't deserve her. I mean just look at that Creamsicle colored chin and the orange tabby showing through on the inside of her right leg... AWESOME!

Her Version of Downward Cat

It's nice having someone to do yoga with.

I'm a Fi-ah Stah-tah

She loves to make a cozy nest in the scrap paper/fire starter bin down near the wood stove.  She really loves it once we start building fires in the winter. There is no such thing as too toasty for this kitteh.

File Under: That Can't Be Comfortable


The sun has a strong effect on most cats, but it is Minou's kryptonite.

Another Day...

Another lap. This pose is call "Sack o' Potatoes".

Sometimes the Best Place to Look...

... is the most obvious. We call this pose "Boneless Kitty".

NaBloPoMo - Where's Minou Sleeping Today

This blog has no strict subject matter but this month I am going with a theme. Let's start with an example of the odd places we find Minou sleeping. It's like a full scale 3D version of Where's Waldo. 

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." -- Helen Keller
