Cats on holiday...

In a three floor house with many nooks and crannies to nestle into, each of my cats has his or her favorite spots for refuge. Maggie can be found any time of the day under the dining room table on one of the broad chair cushions, hoping to grab some zzz's in peace. She's either there or in the quiet guest bedroom upstairs- away from it all and loving it.

On a day like today with blue skies and sunshine, Buddy of course is moaning for the outdoors. Here he is, donning his cone of shame as usual, as well as a green striped onesie I customized for him, as per the vet's suggestion. He's my baby.




During the hours humans are awake and active, Tula is sound asleep. (And vice versa). Her squinted eyes reveal her reluctance to participate in a photo shoot. Happily, I caught her on a window sill whereas her usual spot is the bed.

Phil, who spends 95% of his life on our king size bed, is equal parts curious and "scaredy." Here, he is looking out at the world from behind the glass of the front door: a threshold he will never dare cross. His eyes in this particular photo strike a balance between inquisitive interest and sheer panic.... for the world beyond his home and daddy's safe embrace.
