Pillow Fort Fun

WAFFLES:  I see you, Mr. Fetch Toy. You can run, but you can't hide. 

KATIE:  Are you seriously having a conversation with your fetch toy, Waffles? Do you expect "him" to talk back? 

WAFFLES:  OMG, Boss! He's floating! He must have magic superpowers!

KATIE:  Magic superpowers? Perhaps you just tossed it in the air in the middle of your twirling and chortling. Did you ever think of that?

WAFFLES:  I wasn't chortling, Boss. I was talking to Mr. Fetch Toy.

KATIE: Exactly.

WAFFLES:  He's magic, you know. 

KATIE:  If he's so magic, how come he hasn't made himself disappear? Oh wait, that's right– You haven't stuck him under the fridge with the 37 other fetch toys yet. 

WAFFLES:  Wow, Boss. He's got a big family. 

Laundry Day Just Got Even BETTER
Glogirly washed the sheets today. So that means the day was totally awesome, what with the promise of warm sheets and pillowcases fresh out of the laundry basket. While everything was washing and drying, she did something we can't even believe she hasn't done before. She built a PILLOW FORT. Right on top of the bed.



Waffles was the first to discover it. He thought it was so cool that he took off and found one of the few fetch toys that isn't stuck under the fridge, then darted back into the fort with it. He loves to push his toys under and around things and then stalk them. This was SO much fun inside the pillow fort he was twirling and chortling the whole time Glogirly was clicking away with her camera.


Meanwhile, Katie indulged in a little undercover play with the fresh sheets. That's her favorite part of laundry day.


Eventually, no matter where Katie is playing, Waffles is quick to find her and join in. Or at least attempt to join in.

#TuxieTuesday - Nothing But Glamour

KATIE:  Despite what a certain overconfident orange cat may think, there are still a few things he'll never be able to pull off like I can. Sure, he's got the cute thing all locked up. That bewildered look he tosses our way whenever he gets into trouble. 

I prefer more of a quiet sophistication.

KATIE:  Elegance unmatched. Classic beauty from every angle.

KATIE:  Footprints on the kitchen counter, you say?

KATIE:  She'll never suspect ME.

About Today's Photos 
We love black & white photography. In fact we have a whole wall devoted to it in the Townhouse. But we don't seem to feature it all that much on our blog.

It's no secret that black & white loves a tuxedo cat. Today's photos span almost seven years. The first two photos were shot just this past weekend with a camera that only takes black & white photos. Bet you didn't even know there was such a thing! The next photo is a close up of a random shot from 2012. Katie was just hanging out in the fireplace room looking out towards the back window. And the last photo was from back in 2008. (gasp!) It's a rare on since Glogirly doesn't often show her real face here on the blog. We're guessing needs probably that soft focus way more now than she did back then.

So, "where's Waffles?" you ask. That's what Waffles Wednesday is for. Today it's nothing but glamour.

#ThrowbackThursday - Our First True Loves

Waffles @ 12 weeks old

WAFFLES:  Before I fell in love with chickens, my first true love was a grey mouse.

KATIE:  So what happened to the mouse?

WAFFLES:  Well first I ate his tail. Then his eyes fell off. And he got really skinny because every time we played, he'd lose a little more of his straw stuff.  But I still loved him.  Who was your first true love, Boss?

What Do You Love About YOUR CatDaddy?

WAFFLES:  The girls probably think we're kissing and all but I'm not a baby, I'm TWO whole years old. Me and Gloman, we're just chillin' in our mancave. 

A Very Special #TuxieTuesday - Kitten to Cat

Today's just a regular Tuesday. Gloman gave me my early morning crack snack. Glogirly and I shared our mid-morning breakfast time while Waffles looked over my shoulder hoping for a quick grab-n-go. A nap here, a sun puddle there. 

So there's nothing really remarkable about today specifically. But all of these Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays... and everything in between are filled with something really special. They're filled with seemingly ordinary moments that make life extraordinary.

Ten years ago I was just a kitten in a shelter when a nice man with a deep voice picked me up, looked into my eyes and said, "You're the one, kitty cat." I didn't know what he meant. My name wasn't Kitty Cat and I certainly wasn't the only one there. 

Looking back, that was one of those moments. 

Sometimes it's just a look.

Sometimes just a touch.

"Thankful"

I wouldn't trade my string of moments for anything. 

xo,

Katie

WAFFLES:  Yeah but everything tastes better out of your dish.

KATIE:  No kidding. But I can think of one thing that would taste even better than MY breakfast.

WAFFLES:  Really??? I bet it's got something to do with chicken, doesn't it?

KATIE:  Victory. That would taste pretty good. 

WAFFLES:  Wow, Boss. I didn't know you had all that fire in you!

KATIE:  Waffles, there's a LOT you don't know.

Private Convo

WAFFLES:  Oh my COD, Boss! Where's my orange furs??? Did you turn off the color? Who turned off the color??? 

KATIE:  Calm down, Waffles. Your orange furs haven't gone anywhere. (...though that IS an interesting idea.) 

WAFFLES:  But, but... you're all black & white!

KATIE:  Yeah? Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm ALWAYS black & white. What with the whole tuxedo cat thing and all.

WAFFLES:  Tuxedo? No one told me I had to dress up.

Katie's Look

KATIE:  Waffles, just try and look sophisticated, glamorous. ...wait, who am I fooling. Just try and keep your mouth closed and your paws to yourself. Hopefully the camera will take care of the rest. 

Waffles' Peek

WAFFLES:  Ok, Boss. How's this? My mouth is closed. Just like you told me.

Katie Supermodel

KATIE:  Not bad, Waffles. Pretty good posture.You're no supermodel, but that'll do. How about something a little more moody?
