buster likes gossip girl

so, as i mentioned before, the kitties received video catnip for christmas. ever since they realized the television was there while watching birds and squirrels, they have taken an added interest in the tube.


buster, in particular, is a big fan. sometimes the kitties will watch with a passing glance, but for some reason buster really took to the marvelous cw show, gossip girl. he lingered and watched for quite some time.


here's a video. he just can't get enough! looks like someone is partial to blair waldorf.



and as a typical male, he didn't even FLINCH through the commercials due to a victoria's secret ad.

winter break / christmas update!

merry christmas!

the kitties have had quite a holiday weekend! i [mommy] have been away at home visiting with family since thursday evening and the kitties are once again in the care of jeff. they have been at his apartment, on their first road trip upstate to millbrook and back again.

surprisingly, the kitties were very well behaved and relaxed while they were in upstate new york. thankfully they didn't cause any trouble while visiting with jeff's parents!



buster even had his first step outside [and ran right back inside!] since he was rescued. he is quite the scardy cat.



i miss the kitties so much and can't wait to see them when i fly in from atlanta today!


the kitties got me the most excellent christmas present! they got me a new flip video camera so i can take lots of videos of them as they continue to grow and be cute.




besides lots of fun toys, the kitties got a video catnip dvd from jeff! they already love watching the squirrels and birds. not sure what video catnip is? see my gift suggestion here. i have fun videos to share with you of the kitties watching the dvd. coming soon!

to see more pics from their fun winter weekend, see jeff's flickr.

thanks aunt stephanie for our new carrier!

over thanksgiving, i visited with my family in nashville and atlanta. my sister-in-law stephanie [mother of stanley and ralphie] wanted to give me my christmas present early. it's a good thing too. she and my brother had gotten me, buster and lyla new cat carriers and i was definitely in the market!

i wasn't sure if the kitties would like the new digs, but as soon as i brought it home they were all over it.



thanks aunt stephanie! it's not only functional but stylish as well.

merry cat-mas, part uno

so it's november and instead of thinking about what i want for christmas, i think about what i can get the kitties for Christmas. if you're looking to buy the kitties [or your kitties] a gift, i will offer a few suggestions.

#1 VIDEO CATNIP - http://www.videocatnip.com/




jeff tipped me off to this one after hearing about it on NPR's 'This American Life' podcast. basically, it's a DVD for kitties to watch. apprently kitties are captivated by woodsy scenes.



from the site: 'Video Catnip is a professionally videotaped and edited compilation of Birds, Squirrels, and Chipmunks designed to entertain cats.'


this is why i want it:


this would be perfect for buster and lyla who will probably never step foot outdoors since we live in the city.

only $19.95! free shipping! what a bargain.
