The Curious Adventures of Rosie and Charley: January 2011

Time to catch up!

I haven't posted for awhile, so posts below are a quick catch up. Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, purrsome and nap-filled New Year!

We decided to take our chances with a small tree this year and the kitties were mostly well behaved. I don't know who sucked up more water from the tree well - the tree or the cats! Delores came over on Christmas day and brought Earl Gray for a playdate. My uncle Richard joined us as well, leaving his two kitties to celebrate on their own. We joined the grandkids in opening their gifts via webcam on Christmas eve.

Charley checks out the tree trimmings.

Charley enjoys opening his own gifts.

. . . and Bugsy does as well!

Who needs mistletoe? Gary has a smooch for his mom.

Me and my Uncle Richard. We had a great time!

Earl came for a visit with Bugsy and the gang.
He was quite at home!

Christmas cuddle after a long day : )

Oh, boy - Santa brought us a new scratching post!

Alberto built a scratching post - or rather the parts for a new scratching post - for our kitties. They love it!

Some assembly required.

The final product - and pecking order.

Tuckered out.

Earl Gray goes home with Gramma D!

Earl Gray, of the garden kitty gang, went home with Delores to meet big, bad Harley cat (okay, he's just big, not bad). Earl has proven to be a very . . . um . . . ENERGETIC vroom-mate!

When he's not hanging from the curtains or running laps around Harley,
Earl likes to curl up in Delores's lap.

Best buddies and nap-mates.

Halloween in Washington

We paid a visit to Sara and family for Halloween. They have two new additions to the family - Lola and Kingston, adopted from the local shelter at a "two-for-the-price-of-one" sale. Alberto built a deluxe cat condo for them, which doubles as an indoor jungle-gym for the kids! We went to the corn maize (muddy) and petting zoo (aw, cute), then hit the streets for some trick or treat fun.
