What My Parents Have Been Up To and an Award!

Kitties, I am so sorry I haven't been able to blog!  Especially since Nerissa of Nerissa's Life so kindly gave me an award!

Firstly my parents have been busy working on our home and lawn.  You see they bought their first home almost a year ago and it's a fixer upper.  It had been empty for over a year and not very well taken care of.  So first they had to care for the lawn and plants, which are all doing quite well now that they've had more TLC.  Also the house needed to be painted before this winter comes.

Here I am supervising the painting from inside.

So now that they're done hopefully my secretary Mommy can spend more time on the important stuff, like blogging and catching up with my friends!

Now onto my award... The Versatile Blogger Award

Isn't it pretty?  Thanks so much Nerissa!

So I understand I have to share seven random thoughts about myself.

1.  I now like kids!  My Mommy has no idea what happened, but I will now run up to kids outside and    ask for attention.  I used to run at a mere hint that a kid could be trying to touch me.

2.  I love exploring behind doors that are closed most of the time.  This includes closets, cupboards, and the fridge.  I don't get in the dishwasher or washer/dryer though.

3.  I once jumped in the shower with my Mommy.  This kind of goes with number two, but I'll never, ever, ever do that again!

4.  I have an fifteen year old Aunt kitty named Izzy that I lived with for awhile after my Mommy and Daddy gotcha-ed me.  We didn't get along very well though.

5.  My parents never really use my last name.  My Mommy decided to use it for my blog because she thought it is a pretty name for a pretty lady cat like myself.

6.  I have taken over my Mommy's pillow at night to sleep.  She added an extra pillow to the bed in case there's no room for her while I'm sleeping.

7.  I almost went home with my Grandma one time when she was visiting.  I had jumped into her car while she was loading up some of my parent's laundry when the washer broke.  She said she'd take me home with her, but I jumped out before she got in.

Here's me on my Mommy's pillow.

Sorry I've Been Away So Long!

Hi kitties, can you see me?   No hold on a sec!

Here I am!  Sorry I've been away so long!  My mommy said she just got overwhelmed with things happening around here that she needed to take a break from her blogging duties for me.  What have I been up to?  Let's see: hanging out in the 3 trees in my yard, being the mighty huntress that I am, snuggling with my parents, sleeping, eating and everything else I normally do.


My mommy was sad she missed being able to go to blogpaws even though it was so close.  She hopes all the pet parents enjoyed visiting Salt Lake City.


I wanted to share a picture from one of the many wildfires going on here in the west.  We've had one kind of close to us, but it was put out fairly quickly.  We sure wish it would rain and cool down!

This is from USA Today.  It's a lady here in Utah who found these kittens under a burned out truck in her neighborhood that had burned in a wildfire.  We don't know anymore about the story, but we sure are sad for all those who are affected by the wildfires.

Well I'm gonna get back to watching over my neighborhood from the tree.  Hope every kitty has a good day!

It's My Second Birthday!

Sorry my mommy hasn't posted or commented for me for awhile.  She says things have been really busy. I've made sure that I've gotten enough attention anyways.  Mommy promises to help me visit later and try to blog more often.


On to the most important thing: It's my second birthday today!  I've already gotten some fun toys from mommy and daddy.  Later I'll get treats, yay!


Mommy made a video of me spiffing up for my birthday.  Mommy says she likes the part where I clean my armpits.  She's weird like that.  Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it!

Teaching My Humans to Hunt

So I decided today was the day to teach my humans how to hunt.  I have to say they weren't very good at it.  I brought a bird in the house and let it go.  I kept catching it and picking it up with my mouth to show them what to do.  What did my daddy do?  Open the door and let it back out.  I was shocked!  I went outside to catch it again, but it was no where to be found.  Since I felt sorry for them, I brought a dead vole back around dinnertime.  Maybe I misjudged their readiness.

Here's some picks of me literally bathing in the sun this afternoon:

Payback!

My mommy knew it was coming.  I may have looked cute and adorable earlier in the day...

(Me napping on mommy's lap)

but it was time for payback!  Take that mommy!!!

(This is my 4th dead vole I have brought into the house, 5th overall that my mommy knows of.  And I brought it into the house twice today.  Oh how my mommy squealed!) 

Take that mommy!!!

I Had a Bath!!!

If it wasn't bad enough that my mommy has ignored my blogging and commenting duties for a week, I had a bath tonight!  It was horrible!  Now I'm sitting my favorite spot by the window plotting my revenge.

Note from Lily's mommy:  Sorry I've haven't been around, it's just been so busy around here.  I'm hoping it will calm down by the end of the week!  As to Lily's bath she went outside and got something stuck to her paw that required a bath to get off.  It was really quick and wasn't very much water, but of course it was terrible anyways.  Even though she plays with water in the sink, toilet and bathtub anyways...

Kiss Me It's My Gotcha Day!

One year ago today, I got my very own forever home and family!  

My daddy made me this pic to celebrate it and St. Patrick's Day:

P.S. My mommy says sorry she hasn't visited for me this past week, she says it's been busy... pffft I say!  She promises to do more next week!  She had better or I may start attacking her ankles!!!
