Nabi here: hate to break the news, but we cats find all sorts of things to do in human absence. There's sleeping, bird watching, hunting for toast crumbs, boxes, paper in boxes. Need I go on? Illustration of box with orange impediment.

So glad my best friend and I are still together after 15 years, during which:
a couple broken legs -me, cellulitis - her,
sticking our leg through the fence and ripping it up - not me

All I ever wanted was a horse. May you all have that "one wish" granted.

Nabi here: don't forget squirrels, which can be observed from the comfort and safety of indoors, too. Can you find it?

Yours has tiny little white tip toes. Mine has boots and a white mustache. Her name is Nabi, Korean for butterfly, from the Kdrama "It's OK to Not be OK."

Nabi here: controllable heat blankie sounds like something mom should put on her Christmas list - along with a blow torch. Seriously. For meringues she says. At least she didn't wish for a flame thrower. Arggh. She just read the news.....

Still blooming (still alive!) my grocery store orchid and the Thanksgiving cactuses I transplanted in October.

My feet are frozen, and so are the #ForestsonFriday around here, so here's some Florida scrub from 2 years ago.

Nabi here: I don't sing, but I do chirp like a cheetah - if you need that in the choir. The orange menace shrieks, so count her out. Although she seems to think she'd be good as Mary in the nativity. Warning: she'd eat the baby...

Nabi here: I know all about cat klutzes; I live with the orange doodlehead. I, on the other hand, am a master of kitty parkour. One of mom's fav pictures of me.

Nabi here: I can get with the wang chung.
The orange idiot has to have special-special food, so guess who gets her wonderful leftover special food mixed with my kitty weight watchers; it is for skin and coat. Mom says I have the fur density of a sea otter already.
Whoopee! Picture me celebrating

Not Dorothy. Actually, Toto never needed a heart, or courage, or a brain. He came fully equpped and never backed down.

Hidden all summer by leaves, some sort of nest.
Never saw any creatures in this tree, so could just have been a failed attempt.

Nabi here: please! This is not the impression or imitation of a god. All we cats are gods - in ancient Egypt and in your living rooms today. Forget this at your peril.
