Regarding the holiday cards: anyone who has submitted their names and addresses as of noon yesterday, your cards are on the way. The rest of you – you’ve got ’til the 20th to get your act together. Whatcha waiting for?
Also, some of you got cards signed with “The Shady Cove Gang” and some of you got cards signed with “The Crooked Acres Gang.” I signed cards at Crooked Acres for 10+ years, so when I’m signing cards, my brain (and fingers) tend to default to “Crooked Acres Gang” if I’m not paying 100% attention. Just FYI!

Oh, that Tank. Such a little flirt!
I found a picture of Cruise! This must be the last one I took of her. Look at those amazing whiskers!
Snuggly ornj boys. That’s Axle on the left, Clutch in the middle, and Fender standing over them checking out their snuggling techniques.
Tank and LoJack ready to nap – with LoJack in mid-flop.
You can tell this sweet picture of Pulley wasn’t taken recently, because there’s sun. We haven’t seen the sun in at least 1,000 years.
LoJack’s wondering what this bright light could be.
Axle’s all “Just wanna go take a nap, lady. That’s all I want.”
“What doin’, weird lady?” Dynamo wants to know.
Here we have Solenoid telling us that she’s Da BAYbee, and Pulley appears to have heard allll about it.

Jake’s lookin’ pretty loonified, isn’t he?

Previously
2017: Tour of Shady Cove.
2016: Nothing personal, Archie, but you could use some work on your nap time companion skills. Step one: more snuggling, less personal space.

Jake would make the COOLEST uncle…
Clearly they’ve heard of this “Santa Paws” guy, and the rumour that he brings presents and treats every year (and that is different how from every other day at Shady Cove, one wonders) to all the good little girl and boy kittens, so are on their best behaviour.
Ohhhhhhh! I got it!!! I got my card from the Shady Cove Gang!!! It is awesome! I had such a horrible Monday, weather, traffic, work was grueling… got home feeling all sorts of grey, cloudy, cold Monday and… and… THERE IT WAS! In my mailbox! Instantly, the day was worth it! Love, LOVE, L-O-V-E it!!!! May be my favorite so far… if not, close second to Sugarbutt’s… or Dennis’s.. or Corbie’s.. (I don’t think that was a Christmas card – but I still LOVE it and still miss him!)… So thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Tuesday! PS: It seems as though my cold is 90% gone and I finally got some good sleep last night… There’s magic in your cards, I swear!!!!!!
You are VERY welcome! (And yes, we did sprinkle a little cat fur – UH, I mean MAGIC! – on all the cards before we sent them! 😉 )
So I always heard cats’ whiskers grow to match the widest part of the kitty so they know if they will fit in a space. Looking at Cruise, I think Cruise has a ton of growing to do…
Well, their mama is a big girl (very tall and long), I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the kittens follow suit.
Has it really been a year since you moved into Shady Cove? Jeesh! Time flies when you spend your whole day looking at kitty pictures on the computer (LOL).
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already, isn’t it? I meant to do a “1 year at Shady Cove” post, but you saw how that went (it DIDN’T.)
Oh I hope i get one signed by The Crooked Acres Gang! It will be a collectors item in 20 years! LOL
That’s right, it’ll be worth MILLIONS! 😉
