Snack!

Matte thinks this is very funny. I don't know what she's thinking about.

Ever!

This is the best Christmas card ever! Purry Christmas!

Äntligen

Husse and Matte went out of town over Christmas. Skuggan and I got to stay at my favourite hotel: the cat hotel Äntligen! It's the best! This Christmas was rather busy. Our next net neighbours were two shy cats that kept hissing ut us. I'm not bothered at all, but Skuggan didn't really appreciate it. Skuggan has gotten used to Äntligen which is good. Matte was very pleased to get the reports when she picked us up. Skuggan is out the door to the little garden as soon as it opens and sits there for a long while every day. She is also all over the room. When Matte is close, Skuggan prefers to hide below the wicker chair.

Me on the top shelf.

Skuggan below the chair.

Pixie and Smokey II

Pixie and Smokey, the kittens, are apparantly famous already. Husse and Matte found them at the airport in Umeå...

Pixie and Smokey

Husse and Matte came back home on Sunday and were all "ooooh" and "aaaaaaah" over Pixie and Smokey. No, Husse and Matte did not end up getting kittens for us. Phew! Friends decided to have kittens and opted for norsk skogskatt. The kittens are about 14 weeks old and really busy. Pixie, the little redhead, is a fun girl. She cannot be stopped! Smokey is beautiful, her slightly larger brother. He's a bit shy and a bit more careful... until he gets into a fight with his sister, that is! Husse had the worst time trying to catch the little busy kittens on camera. This is as good as it gets. 

Paw Power

Matte has a new friend on facebook, his name is Justin. Justin is a fire survivor, he was just a tiny kitten when someone evil decided to set fire to him. Little Justin was saved by nice people and he is now with a loving family. His ears could not be saved so one of Justin's mottos is "Earless and Fearless". I think that is cute. My favourite is "Paw Power", which Justin says every time he tries to help another cat. There are so many out there that need help. Paw Power, my friends, Paw Power.

Cavalcade Skuggan

Of course Skuggan should have her cavalcade of pictures too!!! 

Cavalcade...

There are a zillion (at least) pictures that my secretary never get around to type the blog texts to. She really needs to quit her day time job. I need more attention. Anyway, here's a cavalcade of Yours Truly! 

On a rainy day

I just have to show you these! Matte went absolutely mad the other day. It was pouring rain and she thought I was going to go outside. Mad, I say, mad! Look at it raining, it's... WET! Wet, wet, wet! That's what it is. *Shudders* There's just no way I'd get out there. No way. Mad Matte.

Christmas decorations

Christmas is coming our way! Husse and Matte have been busy decorating. Skuggan and I think they have been doing a good job. We don't mind sitting on red table cloths, they work just as fine as yellow ones. There are little decorations in the flower pots, they are ok. And the candles are pretty nice too. Then Husse brought home... a something. Both Skuggan and I have kept staring at it. It's up on the fire place and it's a circle and we haven't been able to get to it to figure it out. Husse finally helped me out, so now I have given it a thorough sniff. It's a wreath of lamb's wool and there's a red ribbon in it. Very pretty. Now I can relax.  

Fur cap

Is this Matte's new fur cap? If it is, why did she leave it on Skuggan's... oh, it is Skuggan! Haha, Skuggan, you have cuddled yourself into looking like a fur cap. How did you do that? I want to do that too. /Enok.

Helping Husse

Husse is so proud and happy when I help him out. I help him very often and with very many different things. In the picture I am helping him holding his android tablet at the perfect angle for reading. The fact that the tablet is nice and warm against my back has nothing to do with it. Nope, nothing... or just a little! 

Not giving up

It's not the easiest thing in the world: to take pictures of a cat. This is Molly, she was so curious of the camera she couldn't resist checking it out very closely. But Matte was successful, finally!

Words of Wisdom

I really don't have to add anything to this. Words of wisdom!

Scary Jack

Husse helped uploading this film, I hope it works. Just wanted to show you how scary Jack was.../Enok

Cow meow

Last night I was roaming the kitchen for a snack and Matte came to help me. I didn't hear her, of course, so when I felt the presence of another being in the room... I truly did not expect it to be a cow! I jumped. Seriously, I jumbed. Several feet, it startled me so much. I took another look at... and then another look. Yes, it was Matte. No, I don't like that t-shirt. Cow meow. 

Third anniversary

Hipp Hipp Hipp Hooray! It's my third anniversary today! 

Yep, today it's three years since Matte's mom brought me here on a dark morning. I was brought to a room, where I could hide under a big red couch. Matte's mom tried to bribe me with shrip. 

Now I'm the queen of the manor, no doubt. I had to remind the vacuum cleaner today, though. It's a bit forgetful at times. Today it vacuumed under the bed where I was resting. I had to get up on the bed to give it the evil eye and a big, mean hiss. That should keep it off my back for a while. I am a bit insulted, why did it have to forget today, of all days? A day of celebrations! Hipp Hipp Hooray! 

Thinking of you

It is always nice to know that someone is thinking of you. Husse and Matte spent a few days in Brussels and they kept thinking of Skuggan and me. They kept an eye out for a cat everywhere they went, but there are no cats in Brussels... They saw dogs. And birds. But no cats. Weird. Until they came to the supermarket: there must be cats in Brussels!! Why else would they sell cat food?! 

They saw so many dogs, it was no surprise the dog shop had to close down. All sold out? I assume the royalty are going for cats instead. That's why the royal dog shop had to close down. Ha!

Lace-y or lazy?

Skuggan and I spent a few days at the cat hotel and had a good time there. Well, I had a good time there. Skuggan hated every second. She stayed in her little safe place under the wicker chair from the minute we came until the minute we left. A big sheet is hung over the chair, so it is quite a cozy little "hut" underneath. The people at the cat hotel are really nice, they give Skuggan her bowl of food under the chair. 

Husse and Matte went somewhere they call Brussels. If you check Google for Brussels, you get lots of interesting results: sprouts (I like them! If I ever have to be a vegetarian, I'll want Brussel sprouts!), biscuits and lace. Lace? I thought it was lazy, but ok... 

We were all happy to get back home (Skuggan was happiest!) and I had my back-home-cozy-hour with Husse and Matte last night. Matte took the picture. Now you tell me: lace-y or lazy?? 

Christmas already?

Is it really Christmas already? There's a big pile of presents, but there's still no Christmas tree. (I like to pee the Christmas tree, but don't tell Husse or Matte!) I checked all the wrapped gifts but I don't think there's anything for me. Yet! 

Because I'm worth it

Matte and I needed an extra snuggle last night in front of the tv. Because I'm worth it. 

Goodnight, sweetheart

A picture is worth a thousand words. I guess two pictures are worth two thousand words. Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight!

Swedish Angora

Combing, brushing, tending to my fur... generated a lot of Enok spare parts for future use if it gets really cold. I think I am a Swedish Angora cat. If Matte just started collecting the soft kitty hairs, I am sure she could start knitting a nice Enok scarf for the cold winter mornings.
