Summer is Kitty Window Time

I was working at my desk recently, and heard a strange noise that wasn't coming from Katya and Anya. I looked out the window, and there was a squirrel, sitting on the corner of the back yard fence, taunting the kitties with strange noises. They were on high alert, tails a-wagging and ears a-flittering. It was all very cute.

Now that the den windows are open, there are so many interesting things to see in the back yard.

Of course, it's better if you can have the window sill all to yourself. :-)

Last summer, I changed out the curtains in the kitchen, which awoke Katya to a whole new world of window watching. It's now difficult to prevent her from getting up in the kitchen window over the sink.

BUSTED!

This was taken last summer; Anya was keeping an eye out for the painter.

Mike and the Girls

So, it's been a while since I last posted. It's been a hard winter, and I've been working like crazy, so I haven't had a whole lot of cute new photos to post...until I took this one. Mike is not much of a kitty fan, but they sure do like him! We were both on the sofa, but look who they're gravitating toward, especially Katya, who is perched as if she can watch Mike over his shoulder.

And here's Katya, attempting to get on Mike's lap as he works on the computer. She does this to me all the time.

Kitties!

I have hundreds of photos of my kitties, and here are just a couple of my favorites. And don't worry -- just because the banner has kitties on it doesn't mean that this blog is just about kitties. I've got lots to say and tell, and maybe I'll have time to post stuff once school starts back up next week.

You probably already can tell that I am a bit of a cat fan. Well, it's not just that, but my cats pose really nicely for the camera, especially the brown tabby, Katya. Here she is in my bedroom closet.

And here's Anya, in a similar pose. You might think they don't like the camera, but...

But it's clear that Katya is posing here, loving the attention that she gets.

And she just loves to curl up in sinks or even the bathtub. My cats are definitely not afraid of water, and in fact, they even drink out of the sink and the bathtub, if I let them.

Even Annushka (a.k.a. Anya) has a little flirtation with the camera. Oh, she may be shyer, but don't let that fool you!

For whatever reason, this is a comfortable position for Anya, as I've found her like this on several occasions.

And of course, what kitty doesn't like to snuggle up with the clean clothes (or even dirty ones, for that matter) in the clothes basket??! This is a favorite spot for both of them.
