My Unexpected Excursion - By Paprika the Cat

I give my human "the Look" from my carrier\

Paprika here. Do I look happy?

Right, happy=not! My human took me unexpectedly (without asking my purr-mission) into a thing called "carrier" to a place called "vet" - for tests. she said I had lost weight and why was I so thirsty all the time? And hungry too! (Me? I've always been a "picky" eater. But What really teed her off (I think) is that part of the water I drank was HER water out of her glass. Well wouldn't you do the same thing if you were thirsty and sitting on your human's lap? the nerve. Well I'm not purr-fect, but did I deserve THIS? The doctor stuck things into me which wasn't much fun but he said "I didn't look bad." The nerve. I happen to be a mini-beauty queen even tho smaller than last year. Tests come back in a couple days. I promised not to drink my human's water again if she didn't take me back to that place. Honest. Cat's honor.

Signed, Contrite-Paprika.

Tummy Tuesday Shot.showing off my Leopard Spots here.

PS: But I want you to remember my finer attributes and it IS Tummy Tuesday so I've asked my human to post one of my more alluring portraits. The nerve of that vet not recognizing my finer attributes. (not that I would show him THIS!)

Christmas Card Explorations - Much to the Horror of Our Human

Peaches here!  Back in our colorful past, 

we used to torture our human by exploring all her Christmas cards - cat style. Many cards were from bloggers and fellow CATS

  were on them.  Naturally, we had to investigate....

I could hardly contain myself.  All those colorful objects with CATS on them. But I knew I didn't have the agility not to make a mess.  

Fortunately, PAPRIKA came along to save the day.  It was one of the FEW times she was helpful.   For

once in my life I decided to accept her help.  She demonstrated immediately how to handle the cards.

At first she PRETENDED she was just casually taking a LOOK at the pretty cards.  (so as not to alarm the human.)

But THEN....

she proceeded with "THE CHRISTMAS CARD STROLL". Uh Oh.  This alerted THE HUMAN who had little patience with Paprika's delicate manoeuvering....

 The game was not over. Paprika persevered.    She knew she could get across the table gracefully inspite of the human's "interference."

Well, would you believe?  Paprika made it across the table without knocking over a single card!  I, Peaches could have never done it!  Paprika accepted my thanks gracefully.

Christmas cards can be quite tempting but I will definitely leave these maneouvers to Paprika in the future. She's just made for "sly moves..."  (But she IS graceful, I must admit.

Respectfully submitted, Peaches the Cat

We are joining The Cat On My Head's Sunday hop today. Happy HOlidays to all! Hope you have lots of catmas cards to...um, disrupt!~

Merry Catmas to All!

 This is what Mom Carol found when she entered the living room. It was not easy to hang out in these stockings all night!

This is our very special and  favorite Christmas Card to all of you.  Merry Merry Catmas and THEN some!

This year we offered as a 2025 gesture to make some Christmas graphics for those who didn't have any yet, and many took us up on this.  They are posted below!

However now we can't find Mom Carol.  She murmured something about "not sure she got all those blog names straight ..."  We purr-sonally think she's gone into hiding.  Even though WE did most of the work.  We keep reminding her of this. Without US, where would she be?  

Love, Peaches & Paprika
