We move to the beach! But are surrounded by boxes...

Announcement:  Mom Carol (with us) is moving near the beach!  She is very happy about it.  She bought a little blue mobile home in a 55+ affordable community just a block away from the water at the Connecticut shore.  Happy!  We?  Less so!  Hmmmph.  Moving AGAIN?  As a bribe, she has offered us two beach houses of our own to make up for the disruption.

But is that enough?

We saw something I have a dim memory of from not long ago and it was NOT a good memory!

I  have always believed in being open and forthright about my opinions. - Peaches

I, Paprika, am trying to put a Positive spin on things.  unlike grouchy Peaches.

But even I, "Paws-i-tive Paprika" questioned the quantity of b-o-x-e-s.

I decided to nestle in places I don't normally frequent -- like the BACK of the sofa on the floor -- so the humans do not forget I, Peaches, am here too!

 I could pretend to be cooperative which I often do.  But not today!

Meanwhile, I, Paprika, have big decisions to make today.

We are joining Cat on My Head today for our beloved Sunday hop.

International Beer Day

Since we cats love beer and beach, the best way to celebrate is the just immerse oneself, don't you agree?    Besides,  International Beer Day  honors our human's last name which is LowBEER so we were kind of co-erced into it.  Although we must tell you we are probably the only cats who celebrate it. We only hope our human can help us crawl out of these mugs when the holiday is over!

We are also participating in 15 and Meowing's and Four Legged Fur-balls - questions answered by Peaches.

1. One word to describe our week is lunatic & lightless.  Isias visited us and we cats had to live IN THE DARK!  (we could see our dinners though)  Our human bought one of those headband-flashlight things & we did NOT like it!  She looked like a creature from outer space.

2. Our biggest success has been helping our human finish the cover for her 2nd book this week. 

3. Not to brag, but we had a special way of notifying our human when the lights came back on at 4AM.  It was a scary momentt indeed, going from complete darkness to electrifying lights & sounds in the middle of the night. We were terrified  We let her know about this immediately by pouncing on the bed and then the nightstands and Paprika got way up on a chest and pounced on the bed from there so our human would be sure and wake up.  Unfortunately she was NOT PLEASED with us.  And threw us out of the bedroom. (We got back in later though)

4. For us "No surprises",is the meaning of life.  Enough of this Lights on Lights off surprise stuff.  Obviously our human doesn't appreciate our "notifications" and we DON'T like change.  Isias should know that and not visit here again.

Respectfully submitted, Peaches the cat

Cats Observe Social Distancing on the Beach

Make way humans!  Maybe YOU can't use all the beaches, we can! Hello, Peaches here! Nobody said anything about limiting CATS fun on the beach.  So we got here as soon as we could to reserve our socially distanced spaces!


That's me, Peaches on the left and the dude in the green shades is  my next boyfriend. If I'm nice to him, maybe he'll lend me that cool straw hat!






PAPRIKA, SCAREDY CAT

As you'll notice, Paprika is hanging out at the sidelines...because she is A SCAREDY CAT!  Just check out her  next picture.  She FINALLY decided to venture out on the beach but IS HIDING BEHIND AN UMBRELLA!  What IS 

this?  Coward!  Finally after extreme purr-suasions I coaxed her out further onto  the sand.  As you will see, she is finally taking a sun-bath. Something we cats should be doing 10 hours day! (we we're not sleeping or hunting. As you can see, she's polished off the catnip lemonade and throw her glass of champagne in the sand.

AS FOR ME...

I found I was getting TOO much attention! A gurrrl must have her privacy, too! Here I am , fending off my many admirers.

At long last I got Paprika to play with me.  It wasn't easy.  I had to do all the work.  Here I am guarding a sand castle of my own creation while Paprika does nothing.  But that's how it is around here.

We wish all our friends a beautiful sunny weekend. Remember the beach accommodates a multitude of cats. Its not only water, which is not our favorite thing.  It's sand, sun and a little catnip lemonade,.

 As you can see, Paprika owes her whole fun in the sun day to ME!

-- Cordially, Peaches the cat!

We are joining Athena and Marie's Cat-ur-day hop today.  Enjoy the sun!

The Last Days of Summer at the Beach

Well, we have decided to make the BEST of the labor day weekend at THE BEACH as summer time is almost over! I finally persuaded Paprika to enjoy it with me! We are joining Caturday Art Saturday and Cat on My Head's Sunday hop to enjoy it!

Paprika getting into the spirit at last while I try on yet another pair of sunglasses!

Paprika apparently went way overboard about the whole beach experience. The things I have to put up with!

Here she is, feeling no pain!

We had a blast playing with sandcastles. That activity is MADE for cats!

All good things must come to an end...Mrow & alas...

Happy Labor Day weekend to all and may you enjoy these last blissful days...
