Happy Holidays from Buster, Lyla and Kelly (2008)

Better late than never. All the best in 2009, dear readers.

It's All About Buster and Lyla in 2009!

Long time no talk, folks! I know, I know, I'm the one to blame. But the good news is that during the silence, I haven't slacked on taking lots of photos of the kitties so there will be plenty of adorable updates to come. Returning to regular updates on this blog is one of my New Year's resolutions, after all. :)

First off, please admire how big the kitties have gotten since we last checked in:

They're still as sweet as ever, thankfully! They've had some adjustments within the last 6 or so months as we moved into a new apartment. It's much bigger than our old one, so the kitties have lots of room to run around, find multiple napping spots and, well, get in trouble.

Like I said, lots of new updates and pictures from the last few months and beyond to come.... but in the meantime, please enjoy the Buster and Lyla pumpkin that I carved for Halloween 2008.

Vote for Lyla! Updates coming soon...

No idea what this is or why Lyla's little face is on it... but GO VOTE FOR HER NOW! Underneath the main big photo there is a sliding gallery. Find Lyla [pic above] and vote for her. You don't need to log in or anything. Give her the fame, people!

My mom has yelled at me for not updating (because clearly I have lots of time on my hands) But I promise I have lots of good pics and updates to come. I promise. If you vote, I'll deliver the goods :)

And here's Buster... because I don't like to discriminate:

Baby Birthdays: Urlesque 1 week old and B&L are 9 Months Old!

Hello friends!


I've been super busy at work launching a new site: Urlesque.com. Basically, a site about fun/weird stuff on the Internet, web trends, etc. And since you can't take the cat outta the girl, I've already found a tie-in that enabled me to post a round-up of cat videos. I guess now I'm technically getting paid to find ridiculous things on the web like Cats Crankin' That. Check out the blog... it's been a ton of late nights and early mornings but we're extremely excited about it.

Here are a few good places to start:
+ Cat Ladies Rejoice! Flickr Video Breathes Life into Cat Photos
+ Hello World: LOL Together, Right Now, Over Us [an intro]
+ Marching Band Cover Songs [for matt & steph]
+ We give our opinion on the NYT article about the 'dangers' of blogging
...and so much more!


Not that you care! You wanna hear about Buster and Lyla. Okay, fine. The kitties are doing so well... they are as sweet as ever and if you're keeping track [as I'm obviously not], they're now 9 months old! To me they seem pretty much full grown, or close. Buster's still huge with his big clumsy paws and Lyla is still petite. I have taken photos recently so I'll try to get those uploaded soon. They're starting to settle down more so they're not as exciting to report about on a daily basis. Although I know you guys want the juice! Here are a few to keep you happy : )

lyla's new spot: on the microwave or up on the cabinets.


buster sweet face.


I have my next pet-slanted list for Urlesque already in mind, don't worry! That and more B&L coming soon...

helllllllo! we're all still alive.

hi dear readers. so sorry that i haven't given you an update on the kitties in a while... been very busy at work! i'm back from austin and the kitties were very sweet when i came home. they were very thankful that kim and jason took such good care of them and are a little sad that their new friends stopped coming by to play!

buster seems to be growing by the minute. he is such a big kitty. hopefully, he'll stop growing soon. he is a full two-handfuls to carry. he loves to just lay on the floor and stretch out . he still snuggles with mommy at nighttime, though. he's the sweetest boy.

lyla is still on the dainty side and has recently discovered her new favorite sitting spot: on top of the kitchen cabinets. we tried to keep her off at first, but there is no stopping this stubborn lil lady.


more photos and updates to come!

a special birthday message from a few of the reeves family animals

happy birthday to my dad, bill reeves, the biggest sucker for cats although he'd never admit it.

a few of his animalchildren had a few words to say on this special day...






heartwarming! so buster and lyla, anything to add?

you lazy bums...

happy birthday dad!

update! lots of photos.

i've been a-slacking on updating. here's a few things the kitties have been up to:

entering the terrible twos
running around like maniacs
chewing holes in a blanket on my bed
knocking things off shelves
getting b-i-g-g-e-r
varying their eating habits

but overall they've still been hella cute and here's a buncha recent photos i haven't posted yet to prove it.


they are both still big fans of bathtubs.





they are still good cuddlers.


they like to 'hide.'


buster has taken a particular interest in sitting in a trashcan.




they have fun when i make the bed.




but at the end of the day they are still sweet, sleepy babies.

happy valentine's day...

+ animals with heart prints. [cute overload]
+ rudy gives winston some licks. [fourfour]
+ v-day voodoo [petsugar]

thx ICHC lolbuilder!

my first ever kitties: wally and beaver

before i was ever born, mom & dad adopted two little orange boy kittens. as i've mentioned before, my parents have a soft spot for naming kitties after tv show characters... so they were named wally and beaver.

i've had a slew of sweet kitties in my life, but beaver was hands down the sweetest. he would always stick by my side and if i was upset he would comfort me. he was such a good snuggler, and would sleep under the covers with his head on my pillow next to me. [i have a picture of this somewhere. i need to upload it!]



wally passed away when i was in second grade or so, before we moved into our second house in ga...where i lived out the majority of my childhood. wally and i were never super close, as he was partial to mom. after we moved, we adopted samantha and tabitha... and even though beaver was old, he was such a sweet big brother and played with them.

i want to say that beaver died when i was in fourth grade. i remember my parents letting me go to the vet to say goodbye to him. he was really ill in the end, and even though my little mind had a hard time grasping what was going on, it was obvious that it was his time. i have another memory of sitting in the kitchen floor, gripping a picture of him and just sobbing. not sure if it was the same night or when. i always say he was my best friend. and although people make fun of me... i knew he cared. aaaand i'm seriously choked up right now.

on a lighter note, it wasn't until recently that my mom told me about how beaver had some health issue where they had to remove his manhood. like even further than neutering. my parents joke that he had a sex change. aww beaver. we still love you.



this one's for you wally & bevo! hope you're eating so many treats in kittyheaven... you deserve them.
