Party time

Weekends are generally fun around the house, we get to play and hide in places we don't usually have access to during the week...

Whenever I get a chance, I like to get inside the pantry. Gary and Frankie have a hard time getting me out of here, so it's a game for me to stay in here as long as I can. Look at my eyes. It's hard to get a good photo because it's dark in here and they have to use a flash.

Blue joined in the fun this weekend, but when he saw the camera, he was outta there...

He decided that it would be more fun to ride around on Gary's shoulders, taking in the view from way up there...

For a while, he actually was the tallest one in the house; but, he can't keep his balance very well the way Gary moves around.

In the end, he had to settle for a knee since Gary's back was getting stiff, walking around hunched over!

Another Saturday at home...

Now, this is the life...sitting home on a Saturday morning, watching TV with Frankie...

Of course, nothing lasts long around here.

Gary's friend, Dale, came over to help him with some work in the yard and he brought two little humans with him. They call them girls. From what I can tell, girls are small people with long hair and high-pitched voices. These little humans played with me and Red all morning long. They were actually pretty fun to wrestle around with; they more than make up for their lack of size with their strength and persistence. Even though they are smaller, they had no trouble picking us up and carrying us around in their little arms. We are so used to Gary and Frankie's bigger arms holding us so delicately that it was quite an adventure having the girls handle us. They used all of their strength to transport us around; and, when we wanted to get out, we had to prove it to them.

Here is Amber holding onto me. She is the smallest of the little humans, like me...the smallest of the cats. We have a lot in common. We are both pretty smart, and we like to play rough. I rarely get this kind of action from Frankie and Gary!

Here's Tara holding Red. They go better together, since they are both older and mellower than Amber and me!

Here are the three of us, Tara, Frankie, Amber, and me. I have my back turned because I hate getting my picture taken. The flash hurts my eyes.

Here's Dale and Amber holding Red. He's trying to get away, though. Sometimes he doesn't like being held.

Here I am as the girls are putting their coats on. They have to go now. Me, too...I'm outta here.
