The Cat Is On My "List"

He's been a nice cat, easy to deal with considering he started out life as the off-spring of a barn cat.  We weren't sure how he would do living with people, but we figured that if he couldn't adapt, he would be a great barn cat in our barn.

He did adapt to family life and has lived a very happy, spoiled life.

Two things have happened this week however, that have him on my Naughty list!

The first thing happened Sunday.  As I went to pull back the covers on my bed at 11:30 pm (after a full day of church and hosting about 20 people in the afternoon/evening) I saw something not pleasant.  The cat had hacked a hairball on the bed, down the side of the bed to the floor where there was a puddle of unpleasantness and a nice big hairball attached to the bottom of my dresser!  I had to strip the bed, and being exhausted and not having my other flannel sheets out of the laundry yet, I simply pulled up the comforter on top of the unmade bed and went to sleep!

The very next day, after being away all day, we came home to find that said cat, had left unpleasantness of another sort on MY BED.  This time the mattress over was involved, and my comforter!  OY!

I cannot believe it!  I think everything may now be laundered and ready to be put back on the bed.  It's been a crazy week and it is only Wednesday!  

Our cat, Watson, is banned from my room and he is going to have to be a very good boy to get off the Naughty list!

Maxx, The Cuddly

We've had our Maine Coon mix kitten for about 6 weeks.  He is a keeper.  He is so affectionate and cuddly.  He seeks people out.  Today he was resting with Rachel on the couch...

 

Here is a close up of him tucked into her skirt and legs...

 

Lindsay, in her new knit hat picked him up a few hours later....
 

He went to sleep and was so cute and relaxed...
 

Again another nap on the couch - this time alone... He is a people person though.  This morning before 6 am he came in to my room for a visit - purring loudly and was looking for attention.  Remind me to close my bedroom door tightly tonight!
 

This evening he took over the dog bed and when Samantha joined him, Maxx put his paw up on her back!
 

And to end the day, Sarah was inspired to draw a cat.  She looked at a book on how to draw cats.  I think she did very well!  Especially with the eyes and nose area!  It's hanging in our hallway now.
