While You Were Sleeping.

Kip!! Can you hear me??

(No, he can't. He is OUT. COLD.)

He's miiiine now and he's not going anywhere!!

I hope you like your little sis kisses, Kip!

I'm pretty sure this is assault in most states, but I guess Kip did have it coming...

Daily Affirmation.

You is kind.

You is smart.

You is important!!

Izzy enjoys looking at herself in the mirror...just like Mr. Shelby used to...maybe there's a little of him in her, I'd like to think so :)

[The "You is kind. You is smart. You is Important." quote is from the Help, if you haven't read it, you should do so! And if you aren't a reader, you should watch the movie. Now you know...I do know how to speak proper English...]

Happiness Is a Warm Bath.

Apparently this is the cat equivalent to a warm bath...

Ahhhh, time to relax and wash up for dinner.

What are you looking at?!

Hey, what are you doing?!

I want a warm bath, too!!

Fine, I'll share...and help.

Where do you think you're going!?

Get back here, Izzy, you're still dirty!!

 Silly little sister.

What do you mean it's cold in here?

We are nice and toasty.

Silly humans.

The Windy City.

No, we didn't take our pets on a family vacation to Chicago (there would be wayyyyy too much for Berta to sniff, her little beagle nose would explode!) Instead, we had a warm, windy day at home that allowed for a rare, open-window day in November. The pets were in heaven!

                                                                    Hey, look at that!!

What??

Over there!!

Where??

Nothing brings three cats together like leaves blowing in the wind! They were entertained...and entertaining.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the room...

Where'd Berta go?

There she is!!

Sound asleep and totally oblivious. Sounds about right.

Miss Wigglebutt Loves Walks!

I'm not sure how Berta has any energy left for a walk after shaking that a$$ and tail in anticipation!! She's our little wigglebutt and she knows exactly what happens before it's walk time...if you lace up your shoes and open the coat closet, it's Operation Wigglebutt in a flash!

And this is Berta post-walk:

She didn't have the energy to get all the way under the bed, so just the head'll do.

Can't. Go. Any. Further.

Gotta love her!!

Recovering Isabelly.

Little Izzy is back home and recovering from her surgery. She took it like a champ...and now looks even more adorable with a shaved belly. I wonder how many passes with the razor it took them to get her big ol' Isabelly?! I'm surprised we didn't get charged for a new battery.

                                                                  Our little lady is home!

Getting a welcome home sniff from Kip

And Berta

I told Kip he couldn't wrestle Izzy and that he had to be nice....

This was his response. Ouch.

Izzy attacking the light switch, apparently she didn't like her post-surgery body in the bright lights!

Shaved kitty belly.

Another scar to add to the collection

I can't believe the doctor didn't give me the tummy tuck I asked for, how rude!!

Just lettin' it all hang out!

You can easily overlook a big belly with a face this cute.

Surgery make me sleepy.

So tired. And I think Kip farted.

Sleepy sisters, part 800?!

Snoozefest.

We're sexy and we know it.

These faces melt my heart.

I sure do love you, Berta!

I love you, too, Izzy...now gimme a kiss!!

Berta, keep your ears to yourself!!

Izzy doing her best Berta impressions...

Two peas in a pod, these two.

A little ball of Izzy.

Our little chunk.

Getting lots of love from daddy.

And giving it right back!! A kiss, a bite...poe-tay-toe, poe-tah-toe.
