Everyone sleeping in while I’m up at 5:30 to be at work by 7:30.  You know it’s early when the cats won’t even wake up.

I came home to find Mini Tiger in the pooper. I guess the competition for the litterbox is pretty stiff these days. At least he’s potty trained.

Since I know someone will ask: Tulip likes to play with Mini Tiger by flinging him up in the air and trying to catch him. She was doing this in the bathroom when I left the house. I guess she flung him in there and didn’t bother to rescue him. Better the clean litterbox than the toilet I suppose.

In addition to the loot that Janet sent them, the Moos and Tus each received some new toys from Santa.  Tulip was happy to discover that Santa came instead of Krampus.

Here’s Tu and Grandma playing with some new Christmas toys.

Moo was quite a bit less impressed with the Roomba we got. “Mama, I think Krampus left this for Tulip.”

Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas!

Moo Moo hiding under the chair. Or so she thinks.

Tigers. Serious business.

I found this scene on Sunday morning.  Moo is curled up under the blankets and resting her head on a fleece camping pillow.  In the background is Eve who has been forced out of her side of the bed by the Moo Head.

I wonder what Moo’s sleep number is?

Actually, Tu, I think she called it a Moo’s pad.

Mama, where is this mouse, and why does he need a pad?

Well, nothing of note really happened while I was away, but it’s good to be home.  The kitties were very happy to see me when I got back, and everyone piled up on me to sleep for the first few nights.  I needed that.  Things are pretty much back to the routine around here.  Moo slept in this morning, but Tulip and I got up early.  She shared the back of my chair while we read the Caturday thread on fark.com:

It’s vacation time again.  I’m headed out this evening, but as you can see, the girls are holding down the fort.  Hopefully Eve will have some stories for all of us while I’m away.  I can hardly wait to hear/see what they’re up to.  I miss them all already!
