World Cat Day 2014

I'm told that it is World Cat Day.


So we're going to change things up a little and have Catterday a day early.  Tomorrow I'll post about poppies.

I diddn't end up posting last Catterday. I was going to post about how Bard has learned to open sliding doors and can now get into the closets (OMG!) but I still don't have a good picture of that.

What I do have a good picture of is Bion.


Yep, in the dishwasher.

There's a saying in Project Life circles used in relation to getting photos of awesome moments in the lives of children - when they've pulled the flour down on top of themselves, or are proudly showing you the crayon drawing they've just finished... on the wall.  It's "don't get mad, get the camera".  

Bion in the dishwasher was one of those moments for me.

Happy World Cat Day!

Week 30 at Chez Stutters (and Catterday)



Unusually, I was ready to print out my my Project Life photos for the previous *on Monday*, which is my general goal, but rarely ever met.  But it's indicative of this week that my problem wasn't sorting *through* photos, but picking up photos from random places on the internet (well, not actually random: I knew I wanted things about La Course and the Commonwealth Games and Lior) to supplement not many photos at all.

It was a mostly non-eventful week in Chez-Stutters-land.  Work (for me) sucked, which meant a lot of nights of coming home, whinging, crocheting poppies and baby blankets, patting the cats and watching the Tour de France.

On Friday night we went from my work out for dinner and then to a Lior concert.  The support act was Domini Forster, who was incredibly awesome.  Not that Lior wasn't, because he was.  His very first song I thought would be brilliant for use in worship, and that was well before he sang Avinu Malekeinu and told us about the recording of "Compassion" with Nigel Westlake.

Photo not taken by me: The Cube staff with Lior, Domini Forster, and Phoebe who supports Domini.


The rest of the weekend was very blah.  Chores, cleaning, Tour-watching, laying around watching the cats, etc. 

It was *so* blah that I forgot to write my Catterday post.

So here you go, two for the price of one.



It's another edition of who's the king of the castle.  The boys have gotten more used to the cat tree/cat gym in the last couple weeks, to the point that there are now spirited arguments as to who gets to sleep up the top.  The top, by the way, is the only decent part of it: none of the rest seems to count at all.

I couldn't believe how beautifully they posed for this photo!

Catterday report - 5 July

In order to keep the cat blogging to a minimum: and because, God forgive me, I actually find "Catterday" kind of cute - welcome to Chez Stutters' Catterday post: a weekly blether about what the boys have been doing this week.

We've had the boys for a week, now. We've learned that Bion is brave and Bard is clever, and that neither of them like closed doors. Bard has a very strange thing for ankles, and Bion loves high places. Any movement in the kitchen is interpreted as "feeding time for kitties". They adore their pink fluffy boa that came from their wonderful foster-mummies.

 

They both sleep on our bed already, taking up lots of space, as any good cat knows he should. 

They are absolutely adorable and we love them sooooo much.
