Gotcha Day 2013...

Mommy is a little slow this week about posting our Gotcha Day note...something about her getting a year older or something!

Charles: It's been a good time-our Mommy hasn't been leaving us to go to the "job" and being gone for HOURS on end.

Mommy: I'm on vacation this week to celebrate my birthday and you and your brother's Gotcha Days.

Runt: We don't care why, we are just happy to have you to cuddle with us and such.

Mommy: It's been chilly at night the last few nights and once again, I am thankful these two came into my life...Charles, at almost 22 pounds, makes a lovely foot warmer and Runt likes to snuggle up near the top of the covers, keeping them from sliding off me!

Runt: Today is sunny and a little warmer. We have both been fed and have settled in for our post-breakfast naps-Charles is laying on the couch, next to mommy and I have the bathroom window all to myself, to watch and listen to the birdies sing. It's a good day!

So, for all of you who have stuck with us, thanks and please keep watching this space-we plan on gently using our claws to remind mommy to post more often.

Now to finish this post, Mommy found this picture on the Care2.com card site and thought it was wonderfully appropriate for all of us cats...

Well,darn that mommy anyway! She ran away with her human family last month and forgot to post any sort of an update.
We are fine except Runt, who has sores on and around his mouth.

Just a quick note to let everyone know we are all right and that we will tie mommy to a keyboard soon so she will write a post for us! It's hard to get good help!

Just wanted to wish you ...

From all of us at 3 Kats and a Kwilter...see you next year!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

In the immortal words of Linus, when Charlie Brown asked if anyone knew what Christmas was all about...

Lights please.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
-Luke 2:8-14

That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.


Merry Christmas from all of us at 3 kats and a kwilter...Taz, Runt, Charles and of course, mommy Anna!

December...how the heck did that happen?

Wow! We haven't been very good bloggers but nothing new is happening here and it makes for a boring post.

Hi, I'm Anna and I'm the mommy to Taz, Runt and Charles. I have a bad case of holiday humbugs, so it's been my intention to avoid the Christmas chaos and parties as much as I can. Family can be stressful and my nephew is deploying (for the third time) in a week, so I have the major sads and worries.

Runt and Charles are doing their best to help me find the happy. As we near Taz's Gotcha Day, I marvel at how far the two of us have come since she came and made my home her own. I was snuggling with her yesterday and she was giving me headbutts and face rubs and I thought back to the time after she came here when I couldn't even pet her! So, sometimes, the happy sneaks in.

So, please, don't give up on our blog. I hope to find the time and energy to be a more faithful blogger for 3 Kats and a Kwilter in the coming year.

Meowy Christmas!

Bad mommy!

Wow, it's been almost 3 months since mom posted any news from 3 Kats and a Kwilter! It's been a hot summer here in Illinois and about a month ago, the big noisy box that keeps it cool in the house stopped working...
Mommy has taken to wetting a towel and getting our fur damp and it's helping as we lay in front of the fans. Gratefully, it's been cooler the last week or two.

Taz has been meaner than normal to mommy and mommy is a little worried that she might be feeling not so good. She seems to be shedding more than normal but won't let mommy pet her enough to get the extra fur off her. She is eating all right though, so we will just watch and see. Taz let me curl up near her today, so either I was really quiet getting up on the washer next to her or maybe she just didn't care enough to hiss today.

Any way, we are all alive and well and miss everyone.

Snuggles and purrs,
Runt

PS Charles is doing well...still full figured and he has insisted on sleeping on mommy when it's hot, which doesn't make mommy very happy!
