Ode to my Cats

Thought I would share my thoughts on my kitties different personalities..






The Skinny One..real name is Sherman..AKA as crazy kittie, the annoying one, meow meow, my precious, and before they lost their collars..jingle, jingle ( for the sound the bells make on there collars when they move)
She is more needy when it comes to attention, will meow loudly if you don't acknowledge her when she wants to attention, will purr super loud when she is sooo happy and content, goes into spurts of energy to play, get ready to pounce on the fat one, will sometimes act like a dog and chase her own tail until she gets it, cleans herself constantly, will go outside, check it out and if it's too cold, will come right back inside. Come winter time and we have to fire going in the fireplace, she will just lay in front of the fire and stretch way out.
She also likes to smell everything and pretty much mark everything my rubbing against it. Will only eat cubes or shredded cat food with gravy..
She is the first to explore anything new we have in our house and was the first to try everything out when we got new cat furniture for them!





The Fat one, real name is Tank..AKA as fatty(hubby calls her that..I don't)my precious baby, my kittie, meow, meow and jingles.
She is more laid back when it comes to anything, really..will only play if she gets really ansty or if she put the string next to her so she can grab it..
She is not as vocal and she has a really weird purr..kinda like if her purr has a cold or something..She will eat anything you put in front of her and gets really curious if YOU have anything you are eating..she wants to know what you are eating and will sit there and watch you until you can show her what it is and let her smell it.
She has a longer hair than the skinny one so she really doesn't mind going out when it's cold. She is really patient if she want to go outside..she will just sit near the door until you notice and open the door.
She is more tolerant of me picking her up and and just rubbing and petting her.
Sometime she will allow the skinny cat to play with her by chasing her and turning around and running away..most time she doesn't have time to play and will just bat the skinny one if she gets to close to her.
Her favorite place to be is on the top of the taller cat furniture with one paw between the blinds, looking out the window.

Have been trying to get back into stampin' and went to my first stamp camp in several years. It was was with my first demostrater who I really liked! Made some cute christmas cards and got the new stampin' up book to see the new stamps.

Gearing up for black friday..it's going to be a crazy and long day..pretty much everyone is working 10-12 hours that day..I'm doing 10 and 1/2, 4:45am-3:15pm..I was hoping I would be off sooner like 1 or 2. But they didn't hire alot of seasonal help..just 6 this year..compare to the 30 they did last year..I don't know how busy will be after the initial door buster gets over with. I just want it over and done with.
