We're back home!

Dear furriends,

finally we can wish you a happy New Decade! Doesn't time fly by?

While we were away I went into lovebug mode and took every chance to sit on mom. She's very warm and comfy - just as moms should be.

I just love to make biscuits on her!

Here I'm giving the felted foxtail we got from our furriends at Sumac Stories a good chomping and bunny kicking.

A little disagreement with Chillimus over who's turn it it to play with the toy.

Nice Curly Q on Chilli.Chilli the cowboy catgirl. She still had the sniffles in this pic.

Mom had a good vacation up at the North Sea with the other type of human and their friends. She's never been so much north in Germany and enjoyed the landscape.

That's the North Sea behind that frosted field.Mom loved the light.
The coastal line.

When they came back to the other type of human's parents they were suprised to find it had snowed considerably.

De-icing the front window of the rented car.

We had to postpone our trip back home for all the snow and it was a wise decision as there was a 25km traffic jam that night.

Chilli is miffed that mom didn't bring a feather for her.

Chilli didn't get the calming pill on our trip home because it didn't really help the first time. We got a nice comment on anxiety medication and will look into that for next year. It's very good news that Chilli got over the sniffles though. Mom gave her a homoepathic medicine which helped me once too.

No place like home.

Many purrs,
Siena & Chilli

Seeing off the Old Year

Dear furriends,
a longer note from us to see off the Old Year - and wish you all a wonderful new one of course.
Like last year we're at the other type of human's parents place. And like last year the drive up here was terrible because little Chillimus screamed her lungs out. Mom had given her a calming pill from the vet and was very disappointed in the effect. She had hoped so much to spare Chilli a lot of stress, but listen for yourself:

Does that sound like a calmed Prettypuss? Not really.

Initially mom tried to have Chilli in her harness on her lap with her but that didn't calm her at all so she went in her PTU. Things are more or less well now. "More" because we've got pawsome presents for Christmas, "less" because Chilli has got the sniffles. Mom, aka worry-wart, was driving everyone mad with saying she couldn't leave us tomorrow as arranged for four nights to go up to the north of Germany with some friends. But we convinced her that Chilli is feeling much better already and that we are in good hands here. So from tomorrow on we will probably have some cool chances of escape from the room we are staying in. Paws crossed for us please, we haven't yet seen that Christmas tree with the ornaments and everything. And that is so not fair.

Now to our presents. Mom gave us our first real litter box. We had a box before too, but it was just a white everyday box someone had thrown away and mom picked up to put it to this use. Miss Snowfox likes to dig and turn around in the box and one day mom realised that the box was a bit too small by now. The new one is purrfect. It has a spiffy pink rim. Mom wasn't allowed to take pictures.
The greatest present came from our furriends Goldie, Shade and Banshee.

Hand it over, mom. Now!

They sent us a foxtail, stuffed to the brim with their primo catnip. We have never reacted so strong to nip before, we just love this toy! Especially Siena lost it completely and went off into a nip craze.

The second present mom won as a give-away from a very creative human.

A great colour for Gardening Cats on Winter vacation.

It's a crochet mousie filled with valerian!!! Mom says it's too cute for words. We think it's very whapable too.

Here you can see us enjoying our presents. Siena has the mousie and Chilli the foxtail. Great times.

We wish each and efurryone a pawsome New Year! We hope to see you around in 2010.
Loving noselicks,
Siena & Chilli
