One Eye on the Future

Meowlo Pe e ps! MomKatt & I decided to wax nostal gic in our post today and look back at some memorable (well, to us, anyway) pictures of all of us Carter Clowder Kitties in 2 013 ... 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 hous e la st year was MomKatt's first fostering gig.  W hich, after about three months, turned into the classic "well-it-started -as-a-fo ster-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 no w 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 h ard to believe this is the same kit ten that she had to TEAC...

Oh Hai! Yeah, I'm in the 'fridge, getting all the goodies out for New Year's Eve with the pawrents!  They're staying home (finally!) to celebrate with us kitties - and probably go to bed by ... oh ... 10:30 PM or so.  MOL.  MomKatt gets sleepy after 8:30 PM if you look at her wrong. I just wanted to wish all my blogging buddies a Happy New Year and thank you for reading my blog in 2013.  Especially I want to thank you for your support of Ray & Rachel (and they say thank you, too). I promise you ... we WILL be back in 2014.  No, really! Happy New Year to all! Purrz! Selina, MomKatt Laura, DadKatt Gary & the Carter Clowder

From all of us:  Morticia Ray and Rachel Sasha Peppers  Oliver and Boudicca We want to wish you all a very joyous 2013 holiday season and thank you for being such loyal followers of my blog. We'll be back on more in 2014.   We love you all!  Be safe! Purrz, Selina, MomKatt Laura, DadKatt Gary and the Carter Clowder

Mornin' peeps! Here I am, in a box.  Aren't I ridiculously cute and appealing? And, for tho se of you wondering how Ray and Rachel are faring, here are a couple of pictures MomKatt took yesterday while cleaning out her closet in her office.  She was taking a break and they were being "disgustingly cute" ...  and gettin' their Sunday easy on pretty well, actually.  And from the front (Ray is on the left, Rachel is on the right sitting up): I tell ya, in reference to how you never see one of those kittens without the other somewhere in close proximity, DadKatt said this morning, "They are their own 'pack'!"  MomKatt laughed, but he is right.  They always travel together and they are the only two, aside from Peppers and Morticia (sometimes), who sleep together in the same bed. Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Won't be long now before Mom&DadKatt's Xmas "stay -cation" starts (5: 00 PM on Fri., Dec. 20 until ...

Normally we don't come out on Sunday, as it's MomKatt's cyber "day off" but the news from Brian's Home isn't good this morning & we wanted to come lend our support to Dad Terry and poor Sister Gracie who is very ill.  Clink on the "BH" link above to find out more.  :( We are purring for, and thinking of, you all right now.  Sending much, much love ...  Worried purrs, Selina & MomKatt Laura

Meowlo, Peeps! It's been about one month since " those kittens " came downstairs permanently, and Yours Truly is, at last, really making my pea ce with them. Well, sort of.  I'm better than I was , anyway, let's just say that. As can be seen here, this morning, as Rachel & I were playing with MomKatt's fleece jacket.  (Boy this stuff is WARM !  I hated to abandon it when MomKatt told me she had to get me off of it to put it on and wear it to work!) I'm practically camouflaged by the coat, which is also black. We got a lotta black around OUR house!  MOL Also, we'd like to wish EVERYONE a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, since we won't be around.  Mom&DadKatt are spendin g the day at his sister' s house. We are so thankful for you all, and thankful to have your friendships.  Stay warm and cuddle kitties after you eat!  Between the turkey and the cuddles/snuggles, it'll be Nap Time befor e you know it! Purrz! Selina & M...

We ha ve read that i t is considered b ad luck to put a hat on a bed. But is it bad luck to put CATS on a bed? We think not .  The pawrents' be d must be full o f GOOD LUC K because look at all the black kitties on it! From left to right:  Morticia (on body pillow), Man Ray (in front of the headboard) and Rachel (on the sheet in front of MomKatt 's stuffed Pus heen ). W here am I, devoted followers?  I was on the sofa in the living room, Sunday - snoozing.  Rache l loves to paw Sasha's sheet that MomK att keeps on the bed for her.  I think she thinks sh e'll find something under it if she paws it long enough. In other news, my b rofur, Peppers, had his "well kitty" exam on Sat., and came through with f lying colors.   Even better news that day was that he has lost 2 pounds, or 10% of his body weight, which Mo m Katt was trying VERY hard to get him to accomplish. But he was less than thrilled about the trip for awhile, and hi d under the ...
