Say it like it is

Today's video contains something for the moms and something for the cats. The moms will certainly think my mid-chattering yawn is funny and cute - and you cats will surely want to know what I'm chattering at!

It's a regular sight these days to see Chilli and me glued to the window, chattering away with our tails flicking.

Nothing gets us going like this visitor to the garden. Do you see what we see?

It's a true fatberd!!! And we have two of them!

This couple of Columba palumbus has been around for about four years now. Soon they will start to collect all sorts of plant debris for their nest. Sadly they never succeed in having little baby Doves because the Magpies kill them. Just as they did with our Blackbird babies last May!

And now to something completely different: Mom's slacking behaviour in not posting your awardies. Over the last months we have received some awards that mom didn't help us post. We're so very sorry! You all know how hard it is to get good help these days...
That's why we want to give the Love Award to all of you!

Please feel free to take it and to pass it along or just enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling deep down inside. Thank you, Cliff and Olivia, for giving it to us!
Purrs,
Siena Snowfox

An award avalanche

We had to put a massive bitey on mom to finally get her around to posting our awards. She hasn't posted them since months, always saying a frase with a four letter word (I'm so busy). ; )
We appreciate each and every one of them! Thank you all for thinking of us!

This very flattering award was given to us from Chocolate and Marmalade tea. We think it's needless to list our 10 favorite blogs - you know who you are. We love you! Everycat who wants to have this award to pass it on can have it with pleasure.

Cliff and Olivia, Alasandra & co, Angel and Kirby and Millie all think that life is grand and so do we! They gave this award to us which has the following rules: Give five reasons why you think life is grand and then pass it on to five more blogs.

We're going to be lazy and ask you to chose five out of the zillion reasons listed here. We tag Albert and Elvis,

Cory et alii,

Ginger Jasper,

Pu,

Sweet Praline.

If you gave us an award and we forgot to include you in today's post, please forgive us. Mom is terribly slow these days.
Love and purrs your way, Siena & Chilli

Awards!

Cliff and Olivia gave us the Bubblin’ Over Award. It is awarded to those who seem to have a little bit of magic around them. Thank you, you two! It's a beautiful award! We are to pass it on to three magical friends. We would like to pass it on to our BSIF Momo, Mr. Black & Elvis and to the Rose Jugglers.

Beautiful Elin in Malaysia passed the Kreativ Blogger Award on to us. Thank you, Elin! We have to list six things that make us happy. Here they come:
Chasing each other around the appartement.
Munching on plants. All kinds that is.
The sun on our fur.
Yes, food please.
Reading about our furriends.
Mousies.

This one goes out to floofy Samson and Delilah and to the very creative mom of the Quiltcats.

And hence it is Sunday we are planning to take it easy - what with all the rain outside and our mom studying - so, excuse us now. Off to snooze, Siena & Chilli.

Thankful Thursday with awards

It is high time we got to say thank you to the sweet cats who have given us awards. We love every single one of them and, of course, YOU, our furriends!

We got the proximity award from Franklin, Dobby and Tasha over at Mishkat. Franklin likes to sneak in in every photo, Dobby has very beautiful eyes and cute freckles on his nose and Tasha's tail even has a name! They are very cool! This award is a special honour as we received it before.


This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who can choose eight more and include this text into the body of their award.


We got this lovely and loving award from The Creek Cats and Forever Foster. Thank you guys, we love you and your blogs too - you make our day! We are purring for the Creek Cats's Pop to get well soon. He has a very hurty foot and is taking strong medicines for a while now. Also, we are thinking of Fui and Suey in Australia, who are experiencing torrential rain while elsewhere the country is on fire. Those are very scary times, you look after yourselves!
LOVE YA award winner... These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

And then, we got this adorable, cute, itty-bitty award from Tom and Tama-Chan. They are very special to us and we would love to cuddle with them as the kitty and the dawg in the drawing do. Ready to cuddle, guys?

Tom and Tama-Chan tagged for us aswell for a cool meme, so did Abby & Stygia, but we'll leave that for an other day. We want to pass on the cute itty-bitty award to all the Quiltcats, Laila & Minchie, Fui and Suey and the Creek Cats. Thank you for being who you are!
The other two blogs go out to everycat that spreads the love and friendship. If you, after an act of selfscrutiny, think that you are one of those cats, please do take the award. We, of course, think that applies to every cat in our blog list.

A lot of purrs,
Siena & Chilli

Truthful Thursday

Today I decided to take a big step. I will share my best hidden beauty flaw with you. It concerns a bit of a sensible matter and if you're not sure you want to know it, you should close your eyes for the length of this post. To give the others some preparation time I will interject my Thankful Thursday post and will thank...

... Peggy and her sweet cats for thinking of us and honouring us with the pretty, pretty, pretty Butterfly Award:
A big thank-you aswell to Angel for nominating me for the Lemonade Award. Sadly she has just lost her furriend Wizard a few days ago. He was a fierce fighter and left much too young.
And then a heart-felt thank-you to my dear friends Goldie, Shade & Banshee AND to the Creek Cats for this furry special award.
It has a lovely explanation:
"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."
Ehem, I will study the rules en detail in the next days. Promised!
Thank you again to all of you - especially from little Chilli who is absolutely thrilled.
Okay, eyes closed?

So, here's my secret: See that black spot of fur on my white 'tocks? Let's just say it's not my spot #13 (which was kindly hidden)... Not very proper for a young Girlcat is it? Phew, glad I revealed it. What beauty flaws do you have?
Purrs, Siena

Thankful Thursday

Thank you Shade, Banshee & Goldie over at Sumac Stories for this award full of love! I love it!

These are the rules:
This lovely award is created by Crystal @ Memoirs of a Mommy in honor of Noah and the donor of his sweet little heart who ENCOURAGES us to SHARE THE LOVE! The rules for this award are to pass it along to some people whose blogs you love. They make you laugh, smile, leave encouraging comments on your blog. You would like to share some love with them because they have uplifted, inspired, encouraged or prayed for you. Please include this paragraph with the link to Memoirs of a Mommy so that everyone knows where this award originated from.
I would like to give this award to Zoe, Georgia and Indy, Daisy and The Creek Cats. They were so fast in giving good advice. Thank you very much!

I have another reason to be thankful for: That there are more nice and cozy places for a girlcat to nap when her new crazy sister is occupying her bed on the windowsill. Still: Hrmpf.

In the meantime

While I'm "patiently" awaiting the arrival of my gorgeous Sisters In Floof, I thought I'd take advantage and say thank you for those lovely awards I was given:Sen-Chan, Tom-Kun, Tama-Chan and their #1 gave this one to me. It means a lot to me, especially because it was them who "found" me. I have to admit, that I was secretly reading their marvellous blog for a while, but not commenting. Well, their tracking system did it's work and they sort of led me out of my shyness. Thank you, guys!Then Pearl, Bert and Jake said that they too love my blog! Isn't that great? Honestly, I'm one happy, bouncy, plush, little girlcat! Smooches!

Oblivious for all sorts of rules I'll pass these awards on to:
Parker, who is even more perfect with her new blogdesign;
The Real Cats and especially for Cal who is feeling poorly for some days now;
to Fin, my lovely BSIF (Pst, Momo and Miss Kitty: I couldn't pass this one on to you, 'cos they'd accuse me of NFC favouritism but please do feel that I gave it to you. Wink, wink...);
to Shade and Goldie & the "to introduce herself tomorrow newbie";
to every cat over at Everycat, 'cos I want them to break the record of 'blog recieving most awards shortly after starting the blog' (and they DO have a lovely blog) and to a wonderful blog I only found over at Everycat that made my mom laugh & laugh & laugh: Spying cat.
Love to all of you!
And purrs! Siena
