Adorable Fluffballs

How many ways can I describe the cats in blog post titles? XD

Yes, it's time for the yearly dose of meownster pics!

The Trio of Terror are now 11, and the Interloper is 3 - amazing how quickly they turn into old, lazy cats - lol. Anyway, enjoy the pics, and I even have a video at the end this year of Parkour Kitty.

Snuggly boy cats.

Nightshade. Boo Kitty. Destroyer of Worlds.

How many cats do you see in this picture?

Super Trio of Terror snuggles.

Rikku. Cuckoo Kitty. Devourer of Plants and Souls.

Sister cat snuggles.

Sylph. Tortie Cat. The Ringleader.

Orion. The Interloper. Unraveler of Toilet Paper and Dreams.

All 4 cats snuggling? What? Rare sight!

And finally, video proof of Parkour Kitty.

Cats!!!!

Yes, four exclamation marks, due to my four kitties. And this is another one of those posts chock full of cat pictures, with little substance. Sometimes we need more images than words, though, right?

Next month I'll have my mid-year update, and I'm looking forward to telling all of you about the writing progress I've made. Until then... Kitties!!!!

Everyone Needs More Cat Pics In Their Lives

I just realized, I haven't posted any pictures of the Trio of Terror since 2019! What is wrong with me?

Well, this year Rikku, Sylph, and Nightshade will turn 9. It's scary to think that we've had them so long. The girls have gotten fatter, and Boo Kitty has lost weight (he unfortunately has chronic kidney disease - we think he got into something at the end of 2022, and we're really lucky he didn't die from whatever it was then). Of course we still love them lots.

Last September, though, we added a new family member into the mix - The Interloper, Unraveler of Toilet Paper and Dreams, Orion. He's a zoomie silver tabby who likes to snuggle us in bed. He's now 10 months old, but he's still wide-eyed, big-eared, and long-tailed.

So, I'm just going to fill the rest of this post with cat pics. I hope they make you smile!

New Orleans Fun! (Mostly Pictures)

In between the December madness (and by madness, I mean my to do list that has scrambled my anxiety into a tangled ball of thread), I'm posting some New Orleans pictures! I didn't want to wait to do this until January, so here I am. To make this quicker, I will attempt to be a writer of few words (this is so, so hard - lol).

My family and I went down to New Orleans in October to enjoy all the Halloween fun. This was my fifth time in New Orleans, hubbie's second, and my kids' first. We all had a blast!

The main event we went down for was the Krewe of Boo Halloween parade. Here's some of the awesome floats. Quite frankly, I'm shocked both of my kids could move with all the beads around their neck once the parade finished up. Don't ask how we fit it all in our suitcases flying home!

That last picture up there is of the plastic coins they threw. What an awesome souvenir! We also went to Boo At the Zoo - the first picture below shows the pool died red. Oh, no, the elephants are bathing in blood! XD The other fountain you see is just outside the Botanical Gardens in City Park.

I loved some of the Halloween decorations in the French Quarter. So fun!

Finally, I leave you with tons of pictures of yummy food. We went to so many great restaurants. And yes, even my kids enjoyed the local cuisine!
