Daytime lap boy

Some rare daytime pictures of my snuggly boy (it's not even time for Rachel Maddow!)

Caught his little pink tongue mid-slurp!!

Mother's Day 2!

It's our second mothers day with our furry babies! And although they can't exactly make us a card for the occasion, they are very good at being cute, so we're calling that our gift. :-)

They still don't really cooperate about looking at the camera at the same time, but whatever. I got one shot of them both looking!

March photos

Photos of the darlings from March 2013.... never mind that I'm posting these on the last day of April! Sigh.

This first one was actually really funny: I took out my cassette tape player (YES I still have one of those!) and it was rewinding so I set it on the floor. The cats were FASCINATED by this new-smelling thing that made strange noises. They sniffed at it and were utterly overcome with curiosity for a full 15 minutes.

 

Then they did a moment of sniff-kiss, which was really really adorable.

River decided to be a bridge between my legs and the arm of the sofa.

 Here's River burrowed down in her favorite blanket. I just love those eyes!

This is what we call "River through the canyon," when she lays down in the valley between our two bodies as we're going to sleep. I caught her mid-slurp in this picture taken over my shoulder!

More nighttime snuggles. River does this to get her nightly ear-rubs from Sarah. Oh, how she loves ear-rub time before bed!!

 She also sticks around in this position until the morning rather frequently.

Watching the birdies out the window.... I love her profile, she's such a pretty cat.

Simon's just chilling on my lap. Purrrrrrr...

I know I take a lot of lap-kitty pictures, but he does this so often and it's so cute!! He likes the jeans because then he can hang on, especially when he's half floomped off the edge of my legs... (ouch...)

"Watching" Rachel Maddow.... zzzzzzzz....

No really, I'm awake... congressional budget office.... yes, I'm following this story.... zzzzzzzz....

 Shaaaaaaare your food with meeeeeee??? I'm so cuuuuuuuuuute...

 Lap man!!

Laptop? I'm what SHOULD be on top of your lap!!

Hi. Why are you tweeting pictures of me? Oh right, everyone in the #maddow twitterverse all have cats too and they all share pictures. How cute. I'm so beautiful.... (lots of twitter people agreed that he's a beautiful boy!!)

Who you lookin' at? 

 It's a snow day in March, and Simon just don't care. It's all cool, dude.

Haaaaaaaaappy snow day lap-cat...

Home on my day off, surrounded by furry lovies. There's my pretty girl.

There's my boy snuggled up with me.

 Attempted self-portrait with both kitties. Their faces show that they think I'm nuts.

Simon thinks pictures are silly and repositions himself for a nap.

Recent photos from April

And once again I am behind on posting photos of the babies. We're still taking lots of photos! I'm just too busy loving my job to update the catbook regularly.

Ah well. Cuteness shall now commence.

(Slightly less late) February photos

Continuing the massive photo-organizing project: February photos of the babies.

Simon: The Lap Man.

River is definitely listening to everything Rachel Maddow says...

Simon is also very clearly engaged... (he listens best with eyes closed).

I can't get over the white belly!!! Love it!!!

River sure loves her orange blanket!

Copycat.... (sleeeeeepy copycat!)
