Sigh.

Say you're sharing a chilly winter evening on the couch with your mom or dad. They pet you on the head and notice your ears are cold. They probably say, "Poor little boy, your ears are freezing! Snuggle under the throw to get warm."



I bet they never say, "Poor little boy, your ears are freezing! You need a little hat."

What A Gyp.

We got all excited about the super blood wolf moon and waited and waited and waited for the evening. And then...



Clouds. CLOUDS!

Now I have to entertain myself for another two-plus years.

Good Boy Napping.

I bet you all think I do nothing but nap all the time. Like now, for instance.



Really, though, I am just faking. I don't like the camera like the other little hams who live here, so I figure if I feign sleep, eventually my mom will get bored and go away. And she did! Now I can really prepare for a weekend of naps!

Izzy Spills Some Beans.

It's true. My brother Ivan can be pretty much of a little meanie. He might be cute and innocent looking, but don't be fooled.

Sometimes he'll come up to the couch and swat at me or Elliott. For no reason at all!

And sometimes he and I will be giving each other a bath and he'll go all mental and try to bite off my head!



Worst of all, he seriously disrupts my time with Mom. Which is mean.

Me And My Shadow.

At least he doesn't call me a tease or a pest.

One In Every Crowd.

And on my day.



Need I say more?

A Different Impasse.

My mom tells me I'm not allowed on the table. I say I am. In fact, I get on the table almost every night while she is sleeping!

She says she knows I do, based on circumstantial fur evidence. I say that's very flimsy evidence. Fur is everywhere here!



What say you, friends?

Ivan's Monday Report.

I had a pretty good weekend. How about you?



We did get all sad last night to read that beautiful little Leia (the Whiskeratti) had flown away to the Bridge, and today when we read that the handsome betta Blub (Pets Overload) too had swum off. Please send some love to their families.

Cat Pile.

This is how we've been spending our days during this prolonged cold snap, on the couch with our blanket and Mom's blanket.



If Mom joins us, we let her get under her blanket and then we pile on her. It's quite toasty for all.
