My cats both are bathroom monitors, but not together! And my dogs were also very "responsible" that way

ROFL! I love love love these pictures and stories!! Unless I firmly push the bathroom door shut, you-know-who is in there w/me and that's most of the time - when we don't have guests. I had to laugh just a bit ago. Misha got done with her "Oh this is fun - let's jump up and nip Mom's hand while she's... you know!" LOL Then she was sitting on the edge of the sink, just watching me. I had to lean over her to brush my teeth and she just sat there as water was dripping on her tail.. Ok, so I made sure MORE water dripped on her tail when I noticed it wasn't bothering her! LOL When I got done she just looked at the bottom of the sink trying to decide whether she wanted to go in for a quick lick! My old cat Jade used to have it mastered where she could stick her head under the faucet and I'd turn the water on to a trickle so she could lap at it. Not Misha. She just sticks her big head under there and then decides she doesn't like getting wet, so she hops into the tub and drinks from that faucet that has a tiny drip which we can't stop for the life of us! Well, it's a kitty fountain, that's why!

She's been a busy girl since I started typing! Well, now there's lights on the tree and a few and by few I mean about 3 or 4 LOL "kitty tested" decorations on the tree because she's acting like she's never seen a Christmas tree or ornaments EVER! I think she's way worse this year than last so I'm letting her play so she hopefully gets a bit of it out of her system before I put the main decorations on. The last pic is grainy & dark but this is when she was getting one of them OFF and the others are of her smashing everything around chasing it! That stocking that's on the floor is the one she "came in" 3 years ago and she barely took up a bit of room. I wonder if she could get her head stuck in there now?! LOL She's now underneath a laundry basket w/a blanket over the top. She decided to climb on the entertainment center and knock things around. Mom cannot be on the computer when SHE wants attention you know! LOL

Teach - Border Collies are just the smartest dogs ever! I think they have a "sense." Our dog looks a bit like one, although she's an American Mutt! She takes guard duty outside the bathroom door! She does still try to herd people/animals in the yard, even though she's getting a bit frail and I know she doesn't see or hear well!

Teach & Sea - I am so relieved to know that dogs guard the bathroom doors, too! lol

And Watching..... it is only a matter of time.... remember to put the non-breakable ornies at the bottom and keep those photo updates coming.

Watching - my Misha used to try to have his way with the tree. I had some wooden apples that would adorn the bottom few feet. He would bat those across the room but the Radkos were safe in the higher branches. He liked ribbon too, so we had unadorned packages......

I really like the way Misha is looking longingly at the tree in your last photo! lol

You can see bits of CC Espresso blanket on Nutty's head. Ally is on the left. The little sore on Nutty's nose is a semi-newly acquired habit of "kicking" himself in the head! If you get him worked up by roughhousing with him he starts kicking himself in the head with his back paw! I guess I picked out the right name for him!


ally and nutty

Since - they are beautiful kitties - just glorious! And I'm not sure which is cuter - the espresso threads on Nutty's head or the description of how his name might be all too appropriate. lol

Does Ally have any other white beyond what we see in the photo? So beautiful, such great kits!

Aww, what cute kitties, Sincebb1. Smoochies to Nutty for his nose.

Am I seeing a resemblance to Critter and Angelina?

Ally and Itty (below) both have white "bibs" in front and white on her paws and belly. You can distinguish Ally by her white chin. Also Ally is black with some long white hairs here and there. Itty has a white undercoat. Ally is also fatter with short little legs and Itty is more sinewy and panther like in his moves.

Did anyone ever see Penn (from Penn and Teller-the one who does't speak) on Darma and Greg when he played a guy that though he was a cat? That was most hilarious he did it perfect! He actually moved exactly like Itty! Right down to the tail!

Since - your furbabies are just gorgeous! I love those CC threads on Nutty's head, and his endearing new "trick" of kicking himself in the head lol. He looks so much like one of my childhood kitties, whose name was Cafe´au Lait (Cafe´for short. :o))

Beautiful cat eyes!

They look so good in this size, Since (I mean they are cute on your cell phone too, of course) and seeing all three. My first black cat was a tuxedo and kind of a mix of your two .. mostly black with the white tuxedo, four white paws and white whiskers.

Critter is all black, black whiskers, leaving the white whisker place in the house for Angelina.

Since! Ally, Itty and Nutty are gorgeous kitties!! I love black and white kitties! Back when my kids were young, they took summer lessons from their school violin teacher at her house and we'd have the best time playing with her two tuxedo kitties while we waited. We'd think of something new to bring to entertain them each week. That's too funny that Nutty kicks himself in the nose. Sounds like something Misha might do, although I think somehow she'd manage to kick a human at the same time. LOL

Bonza - Oh she was more than looking longingly at the tree. What doesn't show is that her paw was up there in attack mode. That pic was supposed to go first had it been in sequence... now she's under the laundry basket and a blanket again, but she's escaped twice, so we're playing a new game tonight! She doesn't like that DS has gone up to bed w/o her and she's standing at the base of the stairs wailing, right outside where DH is sleeping. Now since she's prone to eating his socks, she's not his favorite of cats we've had! heh heh

Just adorable, Teach! Aren't dogs funny when they have that herding gene? I had a friend who had Collies and Labradors and the Collies would just naturally "herd" the labs into a bunch and move them about.. the labs were good-natured about it, too.

That herding instinct in BCs overpowers everything EXCEPT chase the stick! The second one, though, has managed to temper her instincts (easier since she's not "full-blooded") to "herd the blankets" into as big of pile as she can get

Last night she was lying in front of our pellet stove, resting her head on my DS's hat that he had put out to dry! I swear, if you leave one solitary sock anywhere on the floor, she considers it a personal ear cushion! LOL

Teach~ I have the same dog! Only she is a Red Merle and she is fat! In all fairness she has lost some weight.....but she is the only chubby herding dog I have ever seen. We don't feed her table scraps, she gets 3 walks a day...and we have had her thyroid tested numerous times...she is just chunky! Don't they have the cutest expressions!?! Especially their "Oops" look!

Teach - lovely, beautiful and a-dorable! I've heard about the Door Guard and Bed Stealer breeds -- rare and prized -- now I see why!

I can just imagine the Guard outside our powder room door and dragging the CC™ throws around the house! So sweet.

Teach - The pictures of your dogs remind me why I now have had a dog for 12 yrs!! I saw a puppy (wasn't a border collie, but was black & white & just adorable) and I was soooooo hooked that we went back week after week after week to the humane society to look for a dog. My kids were getting really frustrated with me. "Are we getting a dog or NOT?!!!" Well, then there was Kellie - She was a stray they named "C.C." and she had those floppy ears and was doing the "Lassie paw" at the edge of the cage and OH BOY that was it!! Once I decided then we had to "ask Dad". ROFL.. Like he really had a choice or be the grinch forever! Funny thing - When we went in the separate room to visit with her, he liked that she didn't jump on us and she wasn't barking like the other dogs. What an oppossum she was!!!! She yaps like crazy and one of the hardest things has been to get her to stop jumping on people to get pet. Although her trick has always been to just flop down on her back so she'd look all submissive and get her belly rubbed! Now she's not jumping very well, but she's barking at who knows what half the time! I swear she barks at the cold air! LOL The best the animal shelter could guess was that she was shepherd, sheltie, +++! She was the "star" with all the purebred dogs in obedience class, but then she'd always blow her final exam - the healing without the leash, which of course, she did perfectly in class! One time it was blamed on fresh french fries my DD walked in with just as we went in the ring, but she never got past novice/beginner!!

I'm being good! It's that CAT I tell you!

I'm loving on everyone's pictures.

Watch- so sweet how Misha is looking at the tree adoringly. Although, she's probably figuring out which ornament to knock off next. lol. And Kellie looks like an angel baby with those sweet puppy dog eyes.

Teach- Your babies are adorable!

Since- How funny about Nutty kicking himself in the face! Him and Ally sure are gorgeous kitties.
