Sucked in by the eyes plus paw action!

*Sigh* It's official. I am totally in love with my new kitteh! Here is my little Paco on a pile of clean laundry. I caught this rare moment of relaxation the other day. He is probably plotting my downfall. Those beady little eyes behind all that cute hides evil!

The sad part is that he is growing so fast. He is now in this lanky phase but he is still kitten cute. He isn't too happy with me since all that cuteness compels me to pick him up and squeeze him. I can't help it but and I am playing off of a line from Twilight, he is my own brand of Kitten Cocaine...and I am so addicted. He gets along well with our other kittys so far they have excepted him in to the pack. I am happy that he is adjusting well. I, too, am adjusting well. I initially was resistant because of my long love affair with my recently deceased Peanut aka Munchkin that left a sore spot in my heart but there is nothing like a kitten to help heal wounds. Seriously, when I have a bad day or my outlook in life totally sucks...squeezing a kitten helps. Life can't suck when there is cute kitten purring and snorgling your neck. Overall, life is good and I am looking forward to posting more pictures of my cute little devil!

The new guy!

Isn't he cute! We have had this new guy for a week now and my other kitties, Sunny Bunny Bear, Ana and Snuggles are getting used to him. They aren't hissing as much and he seems to be adjusting well.

We got this little cutie off of Craigslist. An interesting thing...probably won't do it again but I am glad to have him. Of course, as the new guy we have a hazing period that pretty much lasts the entirety of his life with me...they must pose with various props but hats seem to be my favorite.

So, here is the new guy, still figuring out his name, and his little mariachi hat. It's too cute!

R.I.P

Well, after a long battle with his illness, Munchkin aka Peanut told me, "Enough, it's time." and I humanely put him to sleep. It was a very hard decision to make that was made easier by that fact that he was in so much pain. It sucked for my husband and I, especially for my husband. Munchkin was his cat. The first cat he ever called "My cat" and he loved that cat and Munchkin adored him. Afterwards, I cried and then I believed I was fine. That was Tuesday but now it's Friday and after a busy week I have finally let the fact sink in that he is gone. It all started when I looked at some old photos of him when he was kitten for this blog post. He was so cute and lovable and all trouble. Some of the best photos I have of him are of him giving love to the other kittens but in reality he was a bruiser that used his paw like a pimp. But he was the first purchase my husband and I ever made that we fell madly in love with, besides our Sony Playstation. It hurts but like they say time heals and I can't wait long enough for time to hurry up and dull my pain for losing my Munchkin.

Oops! I did it again!

Wow, I finally did it...again. Graduation was great! Whew, now here comes the hard part, trying to find a job. I kind of slacked compared to my classmates and I didn't start applying till after I graduated so I don't have as many opportunities if I had started earlier. But I am not complaining. I actually get to spend some time with the hubby and I am playing with my cats more and reconnecting with old friends that I haven't seen in forever. Plus, I am drinking alcohol again. This degree sucked out all of my drinking urges because I had to get up the next moring and use my brain. Other than that R & R is on tap for me.

Just wanted to put a shout out to all that made this happen! Thanks babe (hubbie), parents, parents-in-law, my family and friends (awesome peeps) and of course my menagerie of small furry and feathery creatures that gave me something to squeeze and pet bald when I was uber stressed out. Thanks all, I couldn't have done it without you! YOU ROCK!

Tocks!

"Tocks" is my new favorite word. I found out about it by reading Cute Overload. Tocks is the shortened version of buttocks. So, after looking at my catalogue of photos I found a picture that was worthy of the "tocks" tag. I admit I feel like a pervert taking advantage of this sleepy bunny's bottom but it is too darn cute! Look at that little dark tail against those fluffy little thighs. It's too much. Oh, I feel so dirty for enjoying the view but admit it...you enjoy it, too.

Nap Time!

Wow. I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted a blog. Well, I have been busy and graduation is only a month and a half away, Yeah! I am already looking for a job and I've had some people ask me to interview. Totally awesome! I can't wait to work and start earning my green and paying off that student loan.

Above is a picture I took a while back while visiting the Austin Zoo. I know people complain that it isn't an impressive zoo but I am quite proud of it. The majority of the animals are rescue animals. The big cats such as the lion passed out above were seized because they were abused or they just got to big for their owners to handle. The one thing that always makes me sad but happy is seeing the monkeys. You can tell which monkeys that have been raised with the idea of being a pet and when they are lab animals. The rescued lab monkeys are always hunched over or crippled with hair missing. It makes me feel better that they may have had a rough start but that they are being socialized with other monkeys in a larger setting then previously provided.

Anyways, I posted this pic because it looked so much like my Munchkin all passed out and sleeping. By the way, Munchkin is still hanging in there. Seriously, he's a bionic cat. Enjoy the picture and I hope to blog some more soon, it was fun!

Spot the toilet paper!

Okay, that was totally easy but I think it's cute that there is some cosmic force out there in where I take a picture there is always some TP hanging out in the background. I have a good excuse this time like I did last time. When I run out of tissues I use my TP to blow my nose. Don't worry I buy the triple ply and it's just as nice on my nose as it is on my ass. Anyways, I like how Ana is slightly disturbed by my monkey earphones that the hubby got in a white elephant gift swap. It's too cute!
