Wordy Wednesday

Dear furriends,

we take it as our duty as cats to help our mom study. We are very pleased that mom now got the result on her last exam ever and it was very good. Largely due to us and your purrs, of course! Now, this exam was two months ago and while waiting for the outcome mom was supposed to at least start thinking about her final written work. Like in which subject to do it, about what, talk to the profs, look at literature etc. Today we confronted her and found out that she has been lazing around! She was full of excuses and foul explanations for this deplorable state of affairs but we're having none of that no more. Immediate measures have to ensue:

We announce a blogcation!

We don't know how long it will take, maybe two weeks, maybe three, but as responsible student cats we have to concentrate all our energy on getting mom back on track. It's a hard job but somecat's got to do it!

Chilli will check that her material and filing is up to date.
I will put up my usual helpdesk.That involves napping on the sheet she is actually reading to direct her attention if impawtant points are missing. Tricky!
We will invite her to relax and pause from time to time.

We might be lurking around, maybe comment now and then, but largely we will dedicate us to getting mom going on this ultimate step in her student's life. We will miss blogging and our furriends terribly but are sure you'll understand.
After our blogcation we will introduce cool new members of the Silky and Slender Crew, show some wonderful packages we got lately from our even more wonderful furriends and hopefully some happily sprouting cat mint plants! So watch this space!
Love and purrs to all of you,
Siena & Chilli

P.S.: We will also tell you if we got one of the baby blackbirds on our terrace or not. Mom is determined to defend them. We'll see...

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!

Wordless Wednesday

Today is...

... National Day in Norway!

Of course the SIFs, the Sisters In Floof, are celebrating the day of the constitution. Please head over to Momo's and to Fin's place as they both have prepared a special post on this occasion.Welcome to Theodor from Norway! He's a Norwegian Forest Mancat-in-Training! Gorgeous, huh?

Sigh, I have to get used to not being the youngest one in the Norwegian Forest Cat crew anymore. Good thing that the others assured me that I'll always be LSIF (Little Sister In Floof).
Purrs, Siena.

Separation anxiety

Frootbat Friday

A little twist to Frootbat Friday.

Tired on Thursday

We're all so tired today. Mom went back to the dentist today and it looks like no root-canal will be necessary. That's very, very good news! Still, they worked some more on the tooth and now she's ouchy. We will have to purr away on her...
Siena the snowfox & Chilli the mighty huntress.
