get in shape kitty

4 Dec

We have a small workout room upstairs in our house, and when we go up there to workout, Stella soon follows. She doesn’t like to miss out on all the fun.

happy holidays

Last year was Stella’s first Christmas with us, but we did not put up our large tree because I was swamped with a project for work that consumed every waking minute of my time from before Thanksgiving up to Christmas. This year we (i.e. “I”) actually found time to put up our Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. I wasn’t sure how Stella would react. Of course she immediately climbed up to the top of the tree. I snapped a few quick photos but none that captured the hilarity of the situation. After the tree decorating was complete, she did take a liking to the tree skirt and soon settled in for a nap. Now all we need are the presents!

Stella wasn't much help decorating the tree

going to school

The first thing my kids do when they get home from school is throw their bags on the floor and head to the pantry for snacks. Stella almost immediately curls up on one of their backpacks. She is strangely drawn to them. She’ll do this with my husband’s laptop bag as well.

My kids got out a bunch of games to play one day. Stella quickly found her favorite.

Stella is helping pass out the Halloween candy this year. She is totally unfazed by all of the commotion.

How to pet a kitty

I love The Oatmeal, and I love this comic “How to pet a kitty” so much that I actually bought the poster last Christmas and hung it in my office. Click here to see the full comic. Only cat people will relate.

My kids have moved on (well, sort of) from Pokemon and are now into Beyblades. After their intense battle has ended, the battle stadium makes for a perfectly contoured bed for Stella.

My youngest son loves to make tents. He is always destroying my pillows after I have them perfectly arranged on my chairs and sofa and loves rearranging my furniture to get his tent just right. He also goes through phases where he likes to build beds for Stella. She loves a good place to lie down. He even gave her a few Nerf darts and magnet balls to play with.

I saw this photo on the website I Can Has Cheezburger? and could totally relate to this photo. Too funny not to share!

bad kitty!

23 Oct

The two places we don’t allow our cat to be in our house are on our kitchen table and our kitchen counters. One day I came into the kitchen and she was defiantly sitting on the kitchen counter. The towel she is on is the towel we use to lay the wet dishes on that are washed by hand. She is close to the CLEAN dishes that are in the dishwasher – sometimes we leave the dishwasher door open as a reminder to our oldest son that it is time to unload the dishwasher. Mmmmmm…anyone want to come over for dinner now?
