Holidays in Oz

It's Gypsy here: Woo hoo!!! It's finally Christmas! We're so happy that it's finally here and that Mum doesn't have to work for 4 whole days!

The very lovely Zoolatry Human, Ann, put together some very nice pictures for the Aussie kitty bloggers. Here is a group shot:

Thanks so much to Maggie and Zoey for letting Ann help us all out!
We actually participated in "Christmas in July" at Purrs'n Snorts and received some very nice early Christmas presents from the kitties at Kazoku Neko, Yuki, Kimiko and Kintaro:

Hey, quit hogging the blog, big brother! Here is some photos of me, Tasha, with the lovely things that Yuki, Kimiko and Kintaro sent us:



It's been lovely weather here today, and we enjoyed relaxing in the garden today!

On a more serious note, we're also sending out special holiday purrs to some missing kitties and their families:


Frodo escaped last week and hasn't been home since. It's very cold where he lives and his family are very worried about him.

Jeter Harris has been spending time outside since his new brother Joba moved in, and was last seen on Sunday. It's also been very cold where Jeter lives, and his Mom especially is worried about him.

Wordy Wednesday...

Hi friends, it's Gypsy here, just touching base with all of our friends. We've been offline for various reasons since Mum had her car accident, but she's promised that she's gonna help us blog more now. We've laid down the law, so she knows what she has to do now, or else...

We are very grateful to all of our furriends who've dropped by and said hi - we're sorry if we didn't get to say thanks to everyone purrsonally, but we have appreciated everyone's kind words.

Today, we found out that we won Moki's raffle, which was set up to help raise money for this brave little guy. Thanks Moki! Little Moki still needs lots of treatment to help him, so if you have any spare green (or any other colour) papers, please drop by his blog and help his family out with a donation - we know that they'd appreciate it. Even if the green (and other coloured) papers are a bit tight, we know that Moki and his family would also appreciate moral support (including purrs) from all of us.

It was only a few weeks ago that we won a lovely blanket from Percy and the Cats Stephens, in another raffle, which was to help raise money for Percy to have one of his toes amputated. Percy is going to have his operation in October, so we reckon that he and his family would also appreciate support and purrs from us, and anyone else who has the time to drop by.


We're very grateful for our furriends, and we're glad to help a little bit, but most of all we just want our furriends to get better.


There'll be photos back on the blog soon, just as soon as our incomp...oh, sorry Mum, didn't see you there...as I was saying, there'll be photos back on the blog as soon as someone downloads that good ones from the camera (like, it's not rocket science...however!...). The little squirt, AKA my sister Tasha is itching to have a go on the blog now, so see you later furriends!

Hi everyone, it's Tasha here, just pushing in to say hi to all of our furriends, especially the tabby and ginger ones...we'll be able to catch up properly now that Mum understands she has to let us blog and talk to our online furriends..so until then, purrs to all!

We're Back!

It's Gypsy here, to say that we're finally back! As for why we've been away, well our Mum's been really busy at work (or so she said) for the last 6 weeks or so. I can vouch that she's been working something like a squillion hours each week at work, which has seriously cramped our blogging style.

Then last Monday (31 March), our Mum was in a car accident with our little red Toyota Corolla. Mum's still pretty sore, but we're glad that she walked away 'cos the car can't be fixed - it was an older car, and was badly damaged by the impact.

Mum's getting public transport to work now, but it's a bit tough for us cats 'cos we don't get as much outside time as we'd like right now...but we're gonna get through this okay over the next few months.

Hey, it's Tasha here, just saying that while I'm missing our outside time, I'm really glad that Mum will be completely okay in a few weeks. Gypsy and I have been purring and snuggling really hard to help her get better, and we think that it's working. Mum said that we'll get another car eventually, but it'll probably be a few months before that happens. There aren't any photos today, as Mum's right hand is pretty sore still from the accident, and she uses that hand to do everything like take photos, and type (our commenting will be a bit sparse for a little while). We'll get around to see everyone soon...

Gypsy - Easy Like Sunday

Hi kitties and others out there in the blogosphere, it's Gypsy here...thinking about what I need to do the feathery wand...once I rest up and gather my strength...

Gypsy & Tasha - Wordless Wednesday

Gypsy - Mancat Monday

It's Gypsy here, proving to the world that I am capable of bathing myself, in spite of what people might have thought after yesterday's post. Now, some might say that it looks like I need to work on my abs a little more, but my answer is that camera angles can be deceptive. Anyway, isn't it a known fact that the camera adds 10 pounds? That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

By the way, if you're a Mancat (i.e. a male cat of any age), you can join the M-Cats Club - just follow the link and leave a comment.

Gypsy and Tasha - Easy like Sunday

Gypsy here...The combatants face-off - what's going to happen next?

Tasha says "You missed a spot big brother!". After I gave him the run around last weekend, (those two blurs that you saw in the photo were Gypsy and I - I was the one tagging him!) I thought that I'd take it easy on him today, although I always like to make sure that he's looking respectable.
