Christmas Photo Shoot Outtakes-Harvey

I waited until the last minute to get our Christmas cards together, which included waiting until the last minute to take the cats' Christmas pictures. I got some good shots, but there were a lot more crazy ones. Here's what happened when I put the scarf on Harvey.

I'm pretty sure he's plotting my death.

 Harvey can look rather smug at times and I was really going for more of a "cute" look. That turned out to be a challenge.

Then he couldn't decide if he was going to bolt from the room or try for the ultra-closeup.

But he's oh, so handsome, even in the bad shots!

Puma the Betta

We added a new family member last weekend. It's a baby fish! Meet Puma.

Harvey has been trying his best to make him feel welcome.

What have we here?

He introduced himself.

Hi, I'm Harvey. Nice to meet you.

Then he tried to pet him.

Here fishy, fishy.

And he fed him.

A package of pellets should be plenty.

We aren't allowing any unsupervised visits yet. We're not sure Puma wouldn't turn into sushi.

Whisker Wednesday-Whiskers in Front of the Window

My Harvey Monster has the most fabulous whiskers! Here he is napping in front of the window on a cold, cloudy day.

We Are Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

I asked all the kitties (and the dog) what they were thankful for this year. Here is what they told me:

Harvey

I'm thankful for my amazing whiskers and floofy tail. They get me out of trouble when I've opened all the drawers in the bedroom looking for treats.

Evelyn

I'm thankful for the kitchen and all the yummy stuff it contains. Does this angle make my hips look big? I thought black was supposed to be slimming.

Lowenstein

I'm thankful for sunshine, a warm bed, and cuddles. And every now and then, a soft rug to pee on.

Stilwell

I'm thankful for Dr. Long and the entire staff at Banfield for taking such good care of me. I'm very thankful for my daddy. He's the best daddy in the world.

Yaz

I'm thankful for calming treats and that the annoying tweeting track-ball toy the cats use to freak me out has been moved to the basement.

We're all very thankful for our readers and fans. Thanks for loving all of us and we wish you a joyous and peaceful holiday season.

Goodnight, Harvey Monster

If you're friends with Mom on Facebook or follow her on Instagram, then you've probably seen the pictures she posts of me at night while I'm sleeping.

Apparently, it's become quite popular! She calls it "Goodnight, Harvey Monster." I do look pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

If you want to follow along, check out Mom's Instagram account. She doesn't get a picture of me every night, and sometimes she posts pictures of the new interloper, Lowenstein or the dumb dog, Yaz. It's worth it to see my snoozing face a few times a week though!

Harvey Turns Three

Do you know what a 3 year old cat looks like? Well, it looks like this:

Go ahead, I'd stare at a cat as handsome as me, too.

Today is my birthday and I'm 3!

Last year on my birthday, I was in a kennel at Wayside Waifs, waiting for someone to come along and appreciate my handsomeness enough to take me home. I didn't get presents or a special meal.

A couple of weeks later, Mom and Dad adopted me! Mom had come to see me before then, but she was feeling sad since brother Sebastian had just gone to the Rainbow Bridge. She petted me and admired my orange fur. Neither of us knew we would be family soon.

When Mom and Dad adopted me, it was like the best late birthday present ever! I had my very own forever home!

This birthday is much better. Although my gifts will come late again this year because Mom is sick, I'm happy and comfy. I have sisfur Evelyn to play with, Grandma to feed me brekkie early in the mornings, and my choice of soft beds to sleep on.

I'm the luckiest kitty in the world! Happy birthday to me!

Happy Valentine's Day to Mom

Even though I'm a cat

I have a lot to say

About my adoring mom

This Valentine's Day.

My mom gives me pets

And she gives me treats

She even gives me my choice

Of our home's best seats.

I love my mom

That you can see

I make sure she knows it

By my heart shaped pee.

Mysteries of the Cabinets

I love cabinets. It's fun to explore inside and sometimes I just want some alone time. What better place than inside a dark cabinet?

Mom disagrees. She says, "Remember about curiosity and the cat!" Whatever, Mom. Your hair products won't kill me.
