Merry Merry Christmas!



Hi everyone, Katie here.

It's a picture perfect Christmas here in Minneapolis. Nearly two feet of softly falling snow, yummy food to eat, warm blankets to nap under and the people I love. What more could a kitty ask for!



Even Gabe the Marine came home for Christmas. I haven't seen him in over a year! So I made this really cool sign for Glogirly and Gloman to greet him with at the airport. Gabe and I have a special relationship. Even though a lot of time passes between our visits, I don't hiss at him at all. We have lots of great conversations about girls and catnip.

I'm hiding upstairs



As Glogirly and I count our many blessings, we want to especially thank all of our friends in the blogosphere for their friendship, kind words and laughs this year. It's our first year trying out this whole blogging thing and we had no idea how many wonderful people, cats, and even dogs we would meet from all over the world. From the bottom of our hearts...


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
May the new year bring all you wish for.

This is my "I Love Portraits" expression.



On a side note... I am being abandoned. Again.
Glogirly, Gloman and Gabe are going up north skiing for a few days. Between you and me, I'm fine with that. I'll have full run of the townhouse, a giant food bowl filled to the brim and all the uninterrupted naptime I could possibly hope for. I'm a little worn out from the holidays and need some quality R&R. But let's keep this quiet... The more guilt I can pile on Glogirly, for the abandonment and all, the better. Keeps me in the driver's seat.



XOXO, Over and out.
2009 was super fine,
But 2010 will be tasty as chick-hen!


So I may be gone for a few days, but I'll be...

love,
Katie

  1. I love your "I Love Portraits" expression, Katie. Of course, all your pictures are so good. The family picture is a really nice picture of your humans. It sounds like you had a perfect day. I'll miss you while your family is away, but I'm glad you'll get some quality ME time.

    Take care!

    Purrs,
    Lucy

  2. Your picture with Glogirly is beautiful and the last one with you alone is stunning!
    Enjoy your R&R.
    And you have it right about the guilt trip when they get back!
    Merry Christmas to our new friends!

  18. We wish you a very Happy Christmas! Tell Gabe thank you from all the kitties and beans he helps to keep safe. God bless him. We hope Santa was very good to you.

    Make sure your mum leaves you 2 bowls of food. Our mum used to leave one big one until our brother threw up in it. UGH!

  19. Oh that was great! Hope they all have fun and get to enjoy some light reading.

    I'd offer to teleport over but I know you run a pretty tight townhouse Katie.

    We loved meeting you both and look forward to lots of fun and laughs in 2010.

  20. Katie, it has been so much fun getting to know you! I'm looking forward to seeing what the new year brings. Happy Holidays!

  21. Katie, being that you are always in charge anyway, a little down time would be great. We figure our dogs watch tv while we are gone and one watches to know when to get it turned off before we come back into the house. Gabe looks like a fine young man to have around the house. He looks like he would give you a little quality time. I didn't know you had Gabe but I am glad you shared him with us. Take care now Katie and don't eat up all of your food on the first day.

  32. You had a super Christmas. And the going away seems more like a giving you some much needed time to rest (and the guilt piling is very useful). And we hope all your hopes and dreams for 2010 may come through.

  37. Merry Christmas, Katie! (sorry for being a bit late) And I hope you get some good rest while you're humans are gone!
