LAZ: Lori and I went fence-walking. TBT has sometimes seen one or the other of us doing it...
But never both together!
Its the evil skwerls. They are chasin each other around the trees (trying to make little skwerls) and they are a bit distracted. We are hoping ta surprize one!
I thought we should look at favorite pictures you all enjoyed most.
This is a good one from years past...
But this is a year in review, so:
Little Lori eats with the Mancats...
Lori goes out: Note the puffy tail...
Me and Lori:

Lori Discovers Toilet Paper:
Beautiful Lori:
I am sometimes deliriously happy about The Mews, They sleep around me at night and want my attention in the daytime. I have to seek out Ayla; she is having her elder problems but loves when I find her in her few favorite spots and talk to her for a while.
But some pics are just too special. Lori and Laz often curl up together and Marlety is on the bed but not close. Last night was different.
They were actually touching while napping! That isn't like Marley to do that! But he did.
I think I will run a few cheap towels through the drier again to see if they get closer on a smaller warm pile..
AYLA: OK, I'll take over for this. I have more experience... And I don't post all that often, so it is a good opportunity...
The Lone Star Cats: "I'd stay in where it's warm - I got no interest in being out in da cold!"
I agree, it got down to 8F last night which is really cold fer a domestic furry. TBT brushes our furs often an that means less of it. Less furs means colder. He let Laz and Lori sniff the air through a crack in the door and they backed off. Marley could tell it was too cold just by a nose on the door. I didn't even consider it... These old bones can't deal with 20, never mind 8.
Zoolatry: "Mmm, well now, your Daddy was a once upon a time New Englander, so he could get you some "galoshes hip-waders", a big bright yellow raincoat (heavy sweater underneath) ... a rain bonnet, tied underneath your cute chinny-chin chin of course ...
TBT would wear sensible stuff like that, but we won't even wear collars. You should see the heavy stuff he wears just to go get the mail and fill the birdy-feeders! Iffen it had been daytime, he might have let Laz out. Because Laz has enough sense to run back inside when the wheathers are bad. Lori runs seeking shelter. Bad idea.
Mickey's Musings: "We had rain yesterday too and some wild wind!
I did not want to d=go out in that!
Megan: "Oooh ah - dead mousies on the tree. Did TBT do that at your house?"
We have vague ideas about "dead mousies". We think they just get tired of playing. But see above about mousie-decorations.
-------
Now, about our Chrissiemouse Day gifts: We got more cards than we expected (not on the card list this year). We thank one and all for email and snail mail cards. They were set up on the table
They will be attached to the inside of the front door soon so we can see them when we walk to the stairs to the litterboxes. But for today, they take over the dining table in thanks...
We have so much stuff (toys, treats, etc) that we dared not ask for more this year. Sandy Claws might have asked why we wanted more. So we didn't. We'll save that for next year maybe. MOL!
But our Auntie Susie sent us some treats anyway. We are gonna get FAT trying to eat all the goodies!
We will hope all of you had a great Chrissymouse Day, got things you wanted, and had Special Treats on the Special Day.
LORI: I wish I could go out!
Lori: Yeah, but I still wish I could go out!
Today, we revisit this week 2012...
We got our Secret Santa gift and it was great! Dang pretty, too...
LORI: I am thankful TBT put the turbotrak back the original tight figure 8 way.
made it too big fer fast whapping an I was getting tired running all around. I get plenty of exercise running through the house with Laz!
Plus, now I have 2 small ones in different rooms.
MARLEY: Cushy, softy chair. In the quiet computer room after TBT goes to bed. Great place to sleep...
In the early morning, while TBT is (always) still in bed (an it is fine with ME if Laz and Lori are sleeping there too), I take a corner of the bed. Less waterbeddery movement there.
LAZ AND LORI: We are loving our new softie blankie bed! It makes a great Easy...
But the old one doesn't bother us just sitting on the floor so we are enjoyin nappin there.
Wrassling: Its not an equal contest. Marley is much bigger than me. But he is careful and I start it for fun.
He plays along. He could probably kill me if he wanted to. He is twice my weight and you should see his claws!
He waits fer me to start again. I am learning a lot of good moves! I have to be more "defensive" with him. Seriously attacking Marley is sort of hopeless.
This week in 2010, Iza was really enjoying the cat trees!
Sometimes, she used it as a perch to look out into the front yard, which was foreign territory to her.
Or to look at me at eye level, which seldom happened.
It was good for watching the other Mews, too.
Or just resting.
She could get up near the ceiling, but it took some work, one platform at a time.
Getting back down took some work, too. Sometimes she wasn't altogether sure how to do it.
