Midnight Monday with Julie

Julie: You know, I don't think there is anything 

so great as sunshine.

It warms your furs and body nicely.

It makes you feel happy and cozy.

I think we should have sunshine all the time!!!

Oh, and warm temperatures too.

Bathtime on the Porch with Julie

Julie: After a very rainy Saturday, we had sunshine

on Sunday! 

I was so happy as it was warm on the porch. 

It was a purrfect time for a little bath.

First a little lick on my arm.

Then I decided to clean my toes.

Toes are a lot of work, so I decided to have a little snooze 

before doing any more bathing.

You know how it is...any excuse to have a good snooze !

Midnight Monday with Julie on the Porch

Julie:  Our weekend was pretty cool on Friday and Saturday.

The warmth came back Sunday so I was on the porch.

My big brother JJ joined me.

The sun felt good.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I love the sun on my panther furs!

It makes me happy.

It also makes me sleepy!

Yup, life is good when the porch is warm and sunny.

My Spot of Sunshine !

Julie: Gee, why am I sitting here?

I see sunshine!

Oh yeah!

The kitchen is way sunnier and warmer!

Mom, I know you're there with that camera.

I just like sitting here because the sun feela so good on my furs.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I like sunshine.

I like the warmth.

It's so cozy.

What's not to like?

Midnight Monday with Julie

Julie: When it is sunny and Mom is home to let me on the

porch, I get to enjoy the nice sunbeams.

They make me mighty warm and cozy.

When it is cool and not sunny, or I cannot get on the porch I 

have another way to keep warm.

I lay on top of the floor vent!

The warm air blows right into my furs  and oh, it feels 

SO good!

I just will adjust my position to get more of my body 

on the vent and  have a good snooze.

Mmmmm.feels nice. Zzzzzz...

Sunbathing with Julie

Julie: Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Sunshine !

When I'm happy, I rub my face.

This sun feels so good.

Mmmmmmmmm!

Sunshine...

I loves it!

I'm Right Here

We cats like our routine. Mom gets up, has breakfast, goes to work, comes home, does chores, lets me sit in her lap, plays on the computer, goes to bed. We do that for 5 days and then she's home all day for 2 days. We're used to that. It's comforting.

This winter has been weird. With all the large amounts of white stuff outside, mom comes home, sometimes when we're not expecting her. Maybe she comes in the front door, but usually, she comes in the back door. It scares us. It doesn't matter if she calls out, "Hi girls! I'm home early", it's still scary to hear footsteps, a key in the door and a voice when we're not expecting it.

Mija hides. I usually just stay where I'm at. Thing is, mom often doesn't know where that is. A girl needs to be comfortable and mom brought up a laundry basket of clothes on Sunday night and didn't put them away. I think that means I can claim them, don't you?

So mom was sent home early on Monday because we were getting more snow. She called my name, but I have this spot all nice and warm. It's kind of funny to hear mom's voice get a bit more anxious when I don't come out to greet her. Honestly, humans, I'm comfortable.

Her red sweater is really cozy and the basket was near the floor vent so, occasionally, there was a warm breeze. I didn't want to move.

Yeah, she found me. I said, "Hello" when she did. I'm not sure why she wasn't all that amused.

See you next week.

Midnight Monday with Julie

 Julie: We had a snowstorm yesterday! It snowed and the 

wind blew it around most of the day. Then in the late 

afternoon, it changed to freezing rain and then rain.

It made a BIG mess that MOm says will get

worse when it freezes!

I tried to look at the snow out the window, but as you can see

it is covered with frost and fog. That is because Mom was

lazy and did not caulk the windows in the Summer. Sheesh!

This is what I saw when I tried to look out of the window.

Not a great view!

However, I finally did manage to see this bird in the feeder

eating seeds Mom put out there when the snow started.

I think the bird and his friends were glad to have some

food they did not have to dig in snow to get!

Makes me glad to be an indoor kitty too.

It's warm and cozy inside!

Midnight Monday with Tillie

It was sunny on our porch this weekend. It was also very warm. I like warm,it's so comfy!!

It's so nice to relax.

Mmmmmmmm!!!

There is also Squirrel TV here.

Sometimes it is really exciting.

There are squirrel chases  and everything!!!!

Gee, those squirrels are really nuts!!I wonder if it's because that's what Mom feeds them sometimes.
