We entered a contest on Facebook, and would really appreciate your votes. We entered the Cutest Senior Cat on Facebook contest. nThis is one of Mom's favorite pictures of Tiki and I before he went to the bridge. She loves it because we are holding paws. It looks like you can vote once per day and we would love it if you would vote for us.
Always use lots of pillows when you are napping with the mom. It is even better if you steal some of hers.
Also, Romeo the cat is having a contest. Please stop by to enter.
One more thing, if you haven't stopped by to see Tybalt, Holly, Ivy, Loki and Dana, they got some good news from their mama. Please stop by to see what it is. Congratulations Guys!
Do you see this door??? It is normally never closed. Why is it closed you might ask??? 
There is something new living in there. Mom got a call earlier today from a friend. Her friend has 4 dogs that don't like cats at all and have done some not so nice things to them. Mom's friend also has a neighbor that has a lot of cats that never get taken care of and who has the attitude that "Oh well, who cares if something happens to the cats. They can be replaced." Anyway, Mom's friend is afraid for the kitties so she puts a trap in her yard a couple of times a month and last night, she caught this. She called Mom to see if she could find a home for her. We are not sure if she is one of the neighbor's kitties or not, and Mom and her friend don't care.
She is a very friendly cat. When Mom went to pick her up, she kept following Mom around and rubbing all over her. She also wanted Mom to sit next to her while she ate. She doesn't like being held, but loves pets. Mom thinks that she would soon be comfortable being held with some patience. Oh, and she is a calico, not a tortie, because she has a small white patch of fur on her chest and another on her chin.
Mom says she has to live in the bathroom until she can be tested for yuckies (which should be on Monday). We will keep you posted on what happens.
Anyway, we are going to have a name the cat contest. Mom will make the person who submits the name we choose a snuggle in the color(s) of their choice. Please submit your submissions in the comments of this post. Mom would like to pick a winning name before the New Kitty (NK) goes to the V-E-T on Monday.
Here is Tavi's entry into Kimo's and Sabi's Jump and Shout Contest. I was so excited to get into my PTU that I am but a blur. HEHE. My Mom is holding it, and Papa is taking the picture. We must have taken a hundred pictures before they finally got me jumping. At first, Papa was holding my PTU and Mom was taking the pictures, but I refused to jump for Papa. Then they switched places, and I finally jumped for Mom. Of course, when the camera was off, I jumped in another 20 times. I just love being contrary. 
Congratulations Karl and Ruis! As the Vulcans say - Live long and prosper!
Here is Cody's entry for Kimo's and Sabi's Contest. What fun!
Here I was quietly sleeping when all of a sudden.......
This happened!Mom said we could have a little contest. As we said yesterday, Mom will be leaving us in a week to go to the Washington DC area. All of these pictures are of places that Mom will be visiting with her students. We decided to have a contest to see if any of you could name each of the places. They are all within about 2-3 hours of Washington DC and range from Virginia to Pennsylvania and they all have to do with American history (with the exception of one). The picture number is below the picture. The first cat (etc.) to guess all correct (or the one who comes closest) will win a prize package. We will also have a 2nd and 3rd place winner. Good luck and have fun.

She cut off part of Tiki's head. 
This one is out of focus and she cut off Tavi's ears.
You can barely see Cody in this one because it is so dark.
Where is Tavi's head - it has completely disappeared.
She managed to take the picture just as Tavi walked off.
She can't keep herself out of the picture. We don't mind an occasional hand - especially when its giving us treats, or skritches. But she needs to keep the rest of her body parts out of our pictures!
She must not like ears too much. She keeps cutting them off.
Tiki's nose - where has it gone?
She managed to cut off both Tiki's and Tavi's head.
Just some back here - and a backside - no faces, not even a profile.
Out of focus and with the tips of the ears cut off.
And once again, she decided to lop off Tiki's ears. Its sad really - you would think that by the time she lived as long as she has, she would know how to use a camera. Its not that difficult - especially since she has an aim and shoot type one. And still she manages to mess up. Oh well.
Hi - Welcome to our 100th post. We are having a simple contest to celebrate. The 13th comment will receive a prize package. We will hide the comments until the end of the day. Thanks for visiting us. We love all of you.
Mom finally bribed me for a photo shoot. As you can see, I even got close to mom - that pinkish colored blob in the lower left are her fingers, and that yellow yarn is the corner of our purr pad.
