Looking Back to 2013

Meowlo Peeps!

MomKatt & I decided to wax nostalgic in our post today and look back at some memorable (well, to us, anyway) pictures of all of us Carter Clowder Kitties in 2013 ... yeah, yeah, I'll include The Kittens (who have become known as "The Twins" or "The Terrible Twosome" already).

Obviously, the "big news" at our house last year was MomKatt's first fostering gig.  Which, after about three months, turned into the classic "well-it-started-as-a-foster-situation-but-she's-become-attached-now-they-ain't-going-nowhere"!

Believe it?  This was Man Ray in June:

And this is Man Ray today:

He's come out of his shell and is now a loving and gentle kitty, eager to give very soft nose nudges to MomKatt's fingertips and have his chin gently scratched immediately afterward.  Ray is DEFINITELY MomKatt's boy and she finds it so hard to believe this is the same kitten that she had to TEACH how to play.  The difference in him is incredible.  He now LOVES to play, especially under the bedspread skirt.  He'll either happily play there by himself, "taming" the skirt, or just as happily hunt Rachel under its folds.  It's so funny to watch - he even shot out at her yesterday ON HIS BACK from under the skirt!

Speaking of Rachel:

I think she's insufferable.  Look at this - THE NERVE to assume MY position in Pink Bed!  And MomKatt is thoroughly snoopervised 24/7 in the kitchen by Little Miss Rachel Pants.  *sigh*

KITTENS ... !   Oh well, guess it's not SO bad .... I just shove her out when I want to by lightly whapping her with one paw.  (No photos of this yet are to be had.  MomKatt isn't fast enough.  MOL)

The year began with the loss of my Aby sisfur, Livia.  That was very sad.

It took Mom&DadKatt awhile to adjust to having no Abysinnians in the house after Livia died, but they are both proud to say that all the kitties they now have are either adoptions or rescues, and several of us are rescues that most people would consider "defective" or "imperfect".  Not to Mom&DadKatt:  we are "perfect" for them and they for us.  That's all that's necessary, right?

Peppers finally succeeded in losing two pounds this year, from 22 lbs to 20 lbs at his last well kitty.  He's still a handsome devil, right ladies?

MOL!  I love that picture.

Oh, here's me in case you've forgotten what I look like:

  
I used to love to investigate the tub.  Now, of course, Miss Nose Problem does it ... (that's Rachel's nickname, since MomKatt says she's got to know EVERYTHING that's going on!)

And me again ...

 

I feel a nap in Pink Bed coming on ... gonna get COOOOLLLLDDD around here the next few hours so I need to build up some body heat.

I think 2014 is gonna be a great year, don't you?

Purrz, ya'll!
