Senior Box Cat/Birthday Wishes

 I know we've shown you pix of me in boxes several times over the years, but, well, this is my blog, and I'm gonna show you more.  So, yeah.

 The smaller box with the string through it is dad's attempt at a homemade "toy" for me.  Poor guy- he tries. I guess the idea was to pull the string back and forth from both ends so the little ball attached to the middle of it would draw my attention.  Like I said, he tries.  He ended up putting my mat from Ellen the Tooth Fairy in the bigger box to make it a little comfier, which you can see in the last picture.

Damn Flash!


Resting in Preparation for Some Playtime

My idea of playtime.  Sometimes dad calls me lazy.  Sometimes I call him *******

Lordy, that was an intense workout

Mom's birthday is this weekend, and I know they've got more hiking in store and who knows what all else.  The other night dad whipped up a cookies 'n cream ice cream pie, one of mom's favorites, so I know that'll be getting demolished smartly portioned out. 💖Happy Birthday to the best mom a cranky, moody, only-show-love-when-she-wants-something, life on her terms Tortie could ever ask for!🎈🎂🎈

Cleo, sometimes we have to excuse our human caretakers for their silly ideas. I like the fact that you can lay in one box and stick a paw in the other box and grab that ball to play with. Why exert too much energy when we don't have to? Sure hope your mom has a great birthday and a wonderful hike. I suppose this is all taking place before your dad has his surgery. Will be thinking about you all, Precious

Cleo, it's not like your humans are in charge or anything...they may 'think' it, but reality says the cat is always the ruler.
Happy Birthday to your mom; we hope she has a delightful weekend, and that she makes your dad wait on her hand and paw!!!

Happy Birthday to your mom bean!

Your box is so much like my sisfur Sami's favorite box. Mom bean put a towel in hers to soften the edges too. When Sami ran for the bridge mom bean tossed it out because it made her sad to see it empty.

Even though it didn't meet your high standards, we love that your dad tried to make you a toy, Cleo. E for effort! Your box with Miss Ellen's mat in in sure looks cozy.

Happy birthday weekend to your awesome Mom!

Cleo...how like your used-to-be-furriend who is now a Tortie Angel, was! Those could have been her words, and really, they were many times. Yes, what an intense workout. I have those here occasionally to keep me in shape for projects around the house with Mom. Hey..come on over. We will trade ideas on Management. Wanna?

Zoolatry said...

Give the Dad a break, cat appeasement is a hugely difficult task ... and happy day or so after birthday wishes to the Mom. Let us know if there's any cake left and we'll stop by...
