Kitty Snuggles

Day 116/365
A certain cat was looking for some attention this evening. This girl can't resist snuggling with one her cats, even if it's in the doorway.

The Weird Cat that Loves Us

Day 106/365
This cat is weird. There's really no other way to say it! He is super friendly and lets the kids pet him and hold him, and he always tries to sneak in the house... but he's weird. His eyes are a little crazy and he likes to lick toes. The kids call him "BSS", short for Black Shadow Scorcher. Today B was constantly meowing and wanted Jevin to follow him across the road to the barn. Jevin trailed after him and watched him wander from place to place, with no obvious destination. Jevin finally picked him up and brought him back to our side of the road. As soon as he set B on the ground, the cat rolled in the one patch of gravel in the driveway, turned toward the barn and the meowing started again.

BSS was certainly happy when he was being held and you can tell by Jevin's smile that he was happy, too.

Kitty in the Window

Day 22/365
Our cats are so funny, always climbing into the window to watch us and let us know that they would like some love (and a little food, too, please).

Snuggles

Day 360/365
Enavi loves to snuggle with the friendly kitties at her cousins' house.

Black and White Kitten

Day 173/365
Some of our barn cats had kittens this spring and we are slowly trying to tame them. They are so cute and fluffy! We spotted a batch of kittens hanging out in the shade of the trees and we were able to pick a couple of them up and pet them. They are absolutely adorable. This little guy was the bravest one of the bunch, peeking out of the hostas to check us out.

Fluffy Pie

Day 58/365
Meet Fluffy Pie, one of the many farm cats that roam about our property. Fluffy Pie (who was named by Enavi) always has a slightly disgruntled look on his face, perhaps due to the freezing cold weather, or maybe it's because of his name (he really is quite fluffy, so the name fits). No one really knows for sure, but he was kind enough to pose for this picture today.

Kitties and Krumkake

Day 3/365
I took a bunch of pictures today - you know how it is when you are on-fire with a new project. It's fun to look around and find all kinds of inspiration! I hope that I am still feeling this way in March. I couldn't pick just one picture, so I decided to share my two favorites. The first picture is of one of our outside kitties, Peaches (named for her cute, little, pink nose). The second picture is of my daughter's hands holding a homemade krumkake. We decided to break out our new krumkake machine today, and the kids and I experimented with making these delicate, lacy cookies. They weren't as difficult to make as I had feared, and they tasted delicious. I took a lot of pictures of the intricate designs on the cookies, but this picture was by far my favorite. I love this image of my little girl's fingers, so small and crumb-covered, holding this fragile cookie with great care.
