winter time blues (we want an iPad!)

It is so cold where we live. . . 

and we are

so bored.

I've even taken to looking

for a good book to read.

unfortunately,

they're all 

pretty boring.

And then I heard about this--

iPad games for cats!

Now our BigTwoLeggedOne

has a Mac,

but she needs

an iPad.

Then she could leave me alone

all day long, 

and I'd be just fine!

Just checking in

Hey friends!

We hope you're fine!
These cold winter days
have really only been good
for a couple things.

We've been kind of hibernating,

and this has allowed 

the Big Two Legged One

the opportunity to actually catch us

sleeping on the same futon

together.

. . . and when we're not sleeping,
we're getting
petted-

(oh, yeah, right there, that's good ---

yeah, I like that too . . . .

oh, yeah, that too ---

Wait!

Do you think you're stopping??!!!


Well, the heck with you!
I'm outta here--

Hey, what about me?
I'm over here  . . .

(you can scratch me,
right here,
right under
my chin. . . )

Stay warm, everyone!
See ya again soon!

Don't Stress Me Out!

So,

check it out:

according to the Washington Post,

a recent study at

Ohio State University

proves,

beyond a somewhat reasonable doubt

that stress makes cats sick!

Follow the link above for more info --

and then stop buggin' me, will ya?

Squeak Does the Wash (more or less)

So,

I sat down to take an innocent little bath

and the Big-Two-Legged-One suggested

that I do her laundry!

Well, I just can't tolerate such disrespect for my dignity --

I, on the other hand,

think Ol' Fluffy

should just get into that machine,

and then I'll turn it on!

Yeah, in your dreams --

This is a new contraption

for the BTLO

to have in the house,

and we've both contemplated

getting into it,

but in this place,

ya' gotta watch your back --

Hope you're well!

Smithsonian Cheetah Cubs

(related story: Discovery.com )

We may be the last

two cats on earth

to hear

about this successful

cheetah birth

in captivity,

but we wanted to share:

yes,

we wish

they weren't in captivity,

but we are also really happy for this zoo,

and these mom-cheetahs,

for these successful births!

hello baby cheetahs!

love,

Holiday Adventures

Yes, it's true

our holiday has been

a little exciting, 

since we're visiting family.

Again, we have to dodge

the Three-Year-Old

But he is mastering

the art of

petting gently.

Our problem this year

is the visiting

Shih Tzu.

We actually don't mind

dogs all that much,

but this guy is

another story completely.

So we're laying low,

and looking forward

to going home tomorrow!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

til later,

Happy New Year from Pişi and Squeak

Well, dear readers and friends,

it's been a stressful couple

of weeks.

We've been traveling a bit,

and experiencing the challenges of 

the Three-Year-Old

and a multitude of

packages.

Perhaps the most disorienting 

is this one--

a moving and shaking

baby Pterodactyl:

Everyone should have one.

The other threat to our comfort

and vacation has been 

a terrifying Shih Tzu,

photos to follow.

In fact, I think

I hear him right now.

So we'd better flee,

and hide--

in the meantime,

let us please wish you

a very happy & healthy

2011!

with love from

Pişi and
