Monsieur et Mademoiselle Monday

 Mom said we had a Mexican standoff going on, whatever that is. I said we had a pounce game in progress.

  Yin is heavier than me and surprisingly faster, so I try not to wrestle with her too often. My favorite victime wrestling partner is Chimera. ~Mr Yang and Miss Yin, reporting for ATCAD

(Selfie) Scylla Sunday

Well I tried to take a selfie but Rosie photo bombed me. ~Fenris

Chimera and Yang went for a ussie. 

Yin just yelled at us when we asked about doing a selfie, apparently she was ready for bed.

And Scylla was busy getting a drink before retiring for the night.

She likes to sleep in the cat carrier these day. ~ATCAD
 

Sunday Selfie with Yang

 

I really didn't want to do a selfie today. I tried to hide in the laundry basket but I was discovered and badgered into doing a selfie. So here you go...

bye, Yang, reporting for ATCAD

Mancat Monday with Yang

 

Mom just doesn't understand when me and Scylla get up here were are NOT on the table which is against the rules, we are on the TABLE RUNNER. It's an important distinction, but seems to be lost on her.

We are stuck in November while Mom sorts through the photos. The Sniffie Roses are blooming. ~Yang, reporting for ATCAD

Meowy Monday

 Mom had a time getting this picture to come out right. Chimera is sitting in the window in bright sunlight and Yin is in the shade. Any pro tips from our photographer friends would be appreciated. Mom said she needed to make Yin brighter and Chimera darker, this was a compromise it's light enough you can see Yin has eyes but it's dark enough that Chimera didn't disappear altogether. This is something you seldom see all four of us together. Chimera was feeling social but as you can see she is still a good distance from the rest of us. But at least she is in the same room we are. Chimera is the type of cat that gives people the idea we are solitary creatures. The rest of us like being together in fact Scylla and Yang are often joined at the hip, as they don't like being alone.

Mom says thank you for all your kind words about Myst, but Grandpa is the one who deserves the credit for taking care of her. And for those of you who are worried about her safety, she is very safe and snug in the shed. The feeding station is right across from Lady O's pen and she is very cat friendly and will warn them if anything that doesn't belong approaches, and the shed is full of tons of things they can get under or on to escape. Grandpa feeds them twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening. They get feed first, well their bowls are right by where the food is stored. Then he feeds Lady O and the chickens and yesterday he saw O'Malley when he feed them breakfast. Mom suspects Marvel may have still been asleep or maybe just waiting for Grandpa to leave. We think they probably all sleep in the shed at night. There are lots of good hiding places in there, Mom even lost Grandpa in there one day, and he wasn't even trying to hide from her.  ~Miss Yin, Scylla, Yang & Chimera reporting for ATCAD

Caturday Art with Yang and Yin

 

Word Art Challenge.

Treasured Memories.

Quote Challenge

Plus One. This month the start of the sentence was Sometimes and the plus one was tape. 

The Mood Board Challenge at Just Art. Mom was so glad Yang and Miss Yin agreed to help her with it.

Color Challenge the color was YELLOW.

Thanks for visiting. Mom isn't feeling well and she is super busy so we are not sure when we will get to visit. ~ATCAD

Caturday Art with Chimera, Scylla & Yang

This was the Journal Challenge you had to use the word Daydreaming on your page.

Avatar Challenge and the theme was apples, Mom was able to sneak a butterfly in there albeit one made out of leaves. In case you are wondering the middle circle is Mom's avatar.

Bricolage Challenge. 

Color Challenge. Scylla and Yang helped with this one.

Zoo challenge for some reason Benthai picked Cows, really you would have thought he might pick house cats or dogs. Mom is actually pretty fond of cattle but she prefers steers and bulls. Apparently Momma cows get ticked off when you try to pet their calves. Although I am not sure why Mom wanted to pet a calf any way.

And here I am. I am helping out with the mask challenge.

Progressive Challenge. Mom said this was the hardest one she has done in awhile.

 And the Scraplift Challenge ~Thanks for coming by to visit us, Chimera reporting for ATCAD

Talking on Tuesday

 

FEED US!!!

We are STARVING!!! ~Chimera & Yang, reporting for ATCAD

Mancat Monday

 

Mom will never find me here.

The laundry basket is a great hiding spot. It's very comfy.

It like a big cloth basket.

Do you think Mom found me? She has been standing in the same spot for a long time with her phone pointed this way.

Maybe I should make myself smaller.

I am sure she doesn't see me now.

Tails on Tuesday

 

The jungle gym is a fun place to play.

Sometimes you find lizards playing in it too.

I spend a lot of time up here.

Sometimes the grands come play up here. 

And today Mom decided to get in on the action. What are you doing down there Mom?

What do you mean I should ignore you, you aren't ignoring ME, you are taking MY picture.

Humans, Mom climbs up here distracting me and Dad leaves pots up here. We have no idea what it is doing in the Jungle Gym, we even asked Mom and she didn't have a clue.

This is Chimera's favorite hang out, she has a morning  workout routine. Go out the back door climb over the fence run as fast as you can for the tree and climb to the top. No wonder she is so skinny, the rest of us get tired just thinking about it. ~Yang, reporting for ATCAD with Chimera

Mancat Monday the Gotcha Day Edition

 

Today is mine and Yin's Gotcha Day. As we were very young when we came to live here Mom is purrty sure we were born in August.

Hard to believe it was 7 years ago. This is one of the post we first did.

I am really happy we live here. 

And somehow I scored Mom's desk today so I am getting to keep her company as she types this.

I sure do enjoy the brief period of sunshine we have.

And can you believe my Mom caught a BIRD. A real honest to god one with feathers and everything. 

Somehow it got in the house. When Mom opened the bathroom door, she had just got through soaking in the tub it came flying in. Mom closed it in the bathroom while she locked us cats in Sean's room then she preceded to stalk it and somehow managed to catch it. She carried it outside to the bird feeder where it would be safe (the bird feeder is a house with a porch, Mom put it on the porch) until it was ready to fly away. We were then released from captivity but Mom did keep us inside until she saw the bird fly off. None of us seem to know how it got in the house and flew all the way back to Mom's room. 

Mom said since it was our Gotcha Day we could invite our friends over. We asked to have a shrimp boil.

Corn on the cob, sausage and shrimp all you can eat.

and fried Oyster Po boys.

For dessert we have Home Made Ice Cream. 

And Watermelon fresh from our Garden. I hope you enjoy.

And here is Yin. We think this is probably going to be her calendar picture. Thank you for coming by to see us. ~Yin and Yang celebrating their 7th Purrday & Gotcha Day at ATCAD
