Happy Friday! It’s been a quiet and rainy week around here. But quiet can be nice, right? And we definitely need the rain in Southern California. We even had hail on Tuesday. Any change from clear and sunny always gets our attention. And it’s not over yet – the rain will be back this weekend. It will be the perfect kind of weekend to curl up with a good book and a cat or two.
Here’s what the cats were chatting about this past week.
Teefies Check
Woodrow: Hey, Ma! I gots anything in mah teefies?
Mama: Nope, looks good, Woodrow.
Woodrow: Kay, thanks!

The Uncrushable Fort
Sophie: It’s a fort kind of day, Mama.
Mama: Maybe you shouldn’t build your fort on my bed. I almost crushed you!
Sophie: That’s okay, Mama. I’ll just install some steel rebar to reinforce the roof.
Mama: Doesn’t sound like my bed will be very comfy anymore.
Sophie: But my fort will be uncrushable. So it’s a win-win!

I went to sit on the bed today to pet Olive and Dexter (who were above the covers). I leaned over what I thought was a blanket bump. Nope, it was a cat bump! Sophie has been crawling under the blankets the last few days because it’s been colder than usual. I have to be careful to pat the blankets now. Do your cats crawl under the blankets?
What’s Dat?
Woodrow: Mama, there’s something down there. Don’t let it get me.
Mama: It’s a sock, Woodrow. I don’t think it’ll get you.
Woodrow: You don’t THINK it will get me? So there’s a chance it will?
Mama: Maybe.
Woodrow: Mama!!!

Cheese Snob
Mama: Olive, did you see who stole my piece of cheese?
Olive: Um, no.
Mama: Really…
Olive: Mama, my tongue has a mind of its own. It LOVES cheese! Camembert, if you’ve got it.

Between Cats
Dexter: I love you, Olive.
Olive: I know.

Warmed Whiskers
Harley: Look, Mama! The sun is finally back.
Mama: Yep, but it’s still pretty cold outside.
Harley: That’s okay. I just want to warm my whiskers in the sun.
#whiskerwednesday
We’ve had rain (and even hail) the last several days. Dark and gloomy is finally bright and sunny. But we’re in for rain again soon. The cats are all in sunpuddles around the house for now, though. Hope your kitties are warm and cozy wherever you are!
Paw Master
Dexter: Mama, have you groomed your paws today?
Mama: Uh, not yet?
Dexter: I’ll help you. I’m an excellent groomer of the paws.
Mama: Groomer of the paws, eh?
Dexter: They don’t call me Sir Groomy-Groomer de Paw for nothing.
Mama: Who calls you that?
Dexter: Um, no one calls me that. (whispering) Will you call me that, Mama?

Bonus Friday Photos
Here are the rest of the shots from Woodrow’s magnificent yawn above.

Be honest…did Woodrow make you yawn?
Catch up on past chats! And follow our daily conversations on Facebook and Instagram!
Oh how I love these conversations! I find myself smiling SO BIG by the end of the posts – that’s a gift that not everyone is able to give but you do it every time. Thanks for that!!
Hugs, Pam
Aww, thank you so much!! That’s so sweet of you.
a sock can be sure dangerous… we totally agree… even an empty envelope on da floor… good that we have the mama who can remove all that scary monsters ;O)
I sit and read out your conversations to Spike my boy….pawsome photos today and I did have a smile your all so gorgeous and loveable. Looks like we will be staying in today as it’s very stormy out. Hugs and Purrs. Mom and Spike.x😻💜🐾🐾
Yes, watch those socks and yep, even the Dad yawned! Have a fun weekend everyone!
Hahaha. I love that last photo from the yawn.
olive; ya seer ee iz lee knead ta tryz colby jack N sum mozzarella :) grate post again two day bye everee one ..happee week oh end two all ~~~~~ ♥♥♥☺☺
Sir Groomy-Groomer de Paw! MOL!
We like forts; we like cheese; we like hiding under blankets; our teeth are all not so good!
I love those wrinkly noses when they yawn!
Flynn used to get under the duvet. The first time he did it he was half grown and had curled up close to the pillows so there wasn’t a lump visible in the bed.
We spent an hour or more panicking and looking for him. He eventually crawled out yawning. We always called him the mole when he hid under there. He would get under the duvet at night too and snuggle into my tummy.
We must agree … warm whiskers and forts are the best!
Such cuties. I would steal cheese too Olive. A few of my cats like to be under cover like Millie and Joanie. Have a nice weekend! XO
That first pic of Woodrow looks exactly like one of my photos. And that pic of Sophie looks like one we have of Syssi. Please tell me that all cats don’t look alike.
Woodrow made us MOL all over the place, he’s such a cutie…well…actually they all are. Always love to see and hear the conversations. I like to sleep under a blankie, but only when Grandpaw covers me…🤔or was it that Grandpaw likes to cover me and I purretend to like it🤔Your whiskers look very curlie today, Harley…MOL.. Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to all of you🐾😽💞
We’ve been watching the weather reports, and saw you all have been getting lots of that wet stuff. Glad the sun came out a little. And Woodrow … nice teefs!
Y’all are so darling! Keep dry cutie-pie
Wowy, Woodrow your fangs are amazing and still nice and long! I have two chipped fangs. They were like that when Mom adopted me, so she doesn’t know their back story.
Sophie’s are chipped, too. You kitties have your secrets, don’t you!
What great chats! Woodrow, I don’t have my fangs anymore. They were chipped and the vet said I had to have them removed. I really miss them.
Woodrow, I like your fierce photos and it’s been wet around our house too but we’ve got the white stuff. None of the Tribe is interested in setting a paw out on the upstairs deck – it’s COLD!!
Stay safe and warm my furiends,
Alberto and The Tribe of Five
In those last photos Woodrow is looking a lot like Zulu and Frodo from this week!! Hilarious and adorable!
