This was a rather tricky subject, after all, is anything “free” these days?  Not too much, but there are some things that are free, and have always been free, such as SMILES.  Yup, it doesn’t cost a thing to crack a great big, happy smile.  And around here there are a few things that still can make me smile in amusement, happiness and gratitude.  One, of course, is my kids, who all seem to have the wackiest sense of humor.  And the other is the cats, who are endlessly amusing and you can bet they have a sense of humor too!

PhotoHunt

This is how the back door looks every morning after Noah leaves for work:

"Open the door mommy, NOW MEOW MEOW MEOW GRRR

They all know they’re not allowed outside until after he leaves, so sometimes it gets a little crowded…and noisy…

“OPEN THE DOOR” in various tones of MEOW.

And this is how it looks until 7 PM on most days…well days that are warm enough to leave the door open:

"Thank-you"

Yes, it’s not particularly safe to let the cats outside, but I’ve given up fighting it.  They were all born in the great outdoors and they insist on being let out and they will find a way.  They are incredibly persistent. And fast, devious, sly, and smarter than the average bear.  So it’s an “open-door” policy now.  Yay.  The flies love it too.

I guess It’s about time for me to figure out exactly how much money I spend monthly feeding all four cats.

First is Slanker’s Raw Real Pet Food, 1 1/2 pounds per week at about $4 per pound (includes shipping) multiplied by 4.3 (4.3 weeks in a month) is….

$25.80

2 bags ZiwiPeak Raw Grain Free Freeze Dried at $14 each (including shipping)

$28.00

2 bags Only Natural Raw Freeze Dried Chicken and Veggies Patties at $13 each

$26.00

And one  5pound bag of Taste of The Wild Grain-Free Cat Food at $11 a bag

$11.00

Grand Total $90.80 monthly for  food for four cats!

AAaargh!! No wonder there’s not much left over for feeding humans…

Here is Saturday’s Photo Hunt Post which I could not post because of server problems:

A few weeks ago I was shopping in a new part of Manchester, CT and I can’t believe what I found-an ORGANIC CHOCOLATE shop!  Two of my favorite words!  All the chocolates are home-made with the most fantastic wholesome organic ingredients! Here is a photo of the header on their website, which is also the photo they use for their label:  Notice the two little kitties ?

Here is the chocolate that I got from Divine Treasures on Thursday (it is sweet, but not disgustingly sweet like regular chocolate):

Yeah…it’s all gone…today being Monday and all…

You can go to the DIvine Treasures website to order too, it’s expensive but sooo worth it!

Here are my favorite THREE CAT photos:

Taco, Bella and Mango all anxiously waiting to be let out

Eclair the Bakery Cat, Mango and Taco

Mango in SPIRAL position:

Skaters in SPIRAL position: This is from our recital, last May.

A Tale of Tails, or more aptly, a Tale of the Average Length of the Tails.

The teensiest little Cat Tail is owned by Sumari, the Itty Bitty Kitty:

The Sumari Tail is 24 cm in length.  It also flicks incessantly, so who knows how accurate this measurement is.

The next smallest tail is the Mango Tail: 

This Tail is 26 cm in length, and quite fluffy, so fluffy in fact that the last few cm are absolute fluff.  Next up is the Great Grey Tail at 27 cm, belonging to the Famous Taco Cat : 

And finally, the tail of Queen Bella herself a whooping 32 cm: 

24+26+27+32=109 cm of tail!  Divided by 4, equals 27.25 the AVERAGE tail length of our four fabulous felines!

Bella, a somewhat spotted cat, is spotted spotting an intruder.

All of our photos relating to cats being balanced are of Sumari.  This is because little kitten-sized Sumari is a natural acrobat.  Here, she has just walked up the railing to the second floor porch, instead of using the stairs.

Here she is balanced on the third floor roof!

She seems to like balancing on the narrow dowels of the clothes-drying rack

Sumari balanced for a treat!

Taco has a jiggly “pudge-pouch” that really wiggles and jiggles when he runs,

Here is a close-up:

Mango has a smaller, less jiggly pudge-pouch:

Bella’s pudge-pouch is even smaller and hardly jiggles at all:

And little Sumari  has the teensiest, tiniest little baby pudge-pouch, that only jiggles when she has a wild and crazy bath-taking session:

Here are some Carrot Toes, their are SIX toes on each Carrot paw, TWELVE Carrot toes in all!

Here is a photo of the whole Carrot, with all 26 toes:

A bit tubby…

Mango needs to see his REFLECTION in the mirror to admire his newly-made Christmas collar!  Isn’t it beautiful?  Of course he needs to make sure that it matches with his gorgeous poofy fur…

You can go to Daisy the Curly Cat to see Daisy’s REFLECTION!

Hmmm…, I think Seth’s drink is ruined…depends on his opinion of having cat-saliva-flavored water, or maybe a Sumari fur in there!

You can go to Daisy the Curly Cat to see what Daisy ruined, and her instructions on how to get avoid getting in trouble!
