#AtoZChallenge L

Hi There,
Lily here. Today’s letter is “L” and that stands for “Long”. Now most of you humans don’t think of felines as being long but we are capable of stretching ourselves quite far. Even the chubby felines, I won’t name names (Oliver) can lengthen themselves with a little kitty yoga. So all you felines out there, stretch and relax!

#AtoZChallenge K

Hello Everyone,
Alberto here. Today’s letter is “K” and that stands for “Kayaking”. Why is a cat blogging about kayaking you may ask. Well, I am a feline that fancies himself as a bit of an outdoor adventurer (as long as the Male and Female Human are close at hand). As you may note from my expression in one of these photos, I do purrfer summer over winter when I’m having my adventures. My Female human loves kayaking and since I love adventure and water (I like to get in the shower with the Male Human) our summer project is for the Female Human and I to go kayaking. I have a halter, leash, two life jackets to make sure I get the best fit and a lot of hope. This summer will be interesting!

#AtoZChallenge I

Hello Folks,
Alberto here. Todays letter is “I” and that stands for “Indulge”. This is a word that all felines are quite furmaliar with because felines are known to indulge themselves, frequently and with gusto.

I am including some photos of The Tribe of Five and our furiends indulging themselves in the hopes that your humans will be inspired to indulge the felines in their home in new ways.

Oliver: If you live in a cold place (as we do) be sure your humans indulge you by purchasing you a down sofa throw (make sure it’s the real thing, do not accept cheap imitations.)

Alberto: When I was a little guy I really enjoyed the Human’s electronics.  They indulged me and pretty much let me take over the iPad mini. This is me with my iPad enjoying Jitterbug. The Female Human downloaded this for me from Friskies.

Jasmine: My favorite blog post was about our furiend Navi and the amazing tea party her human treated her to. Meowza, this is indulgence to the max. (Please pass the catnip tea)

Alberto: There’s no better place on a warm summer day than the kitchen sink. If you observe the photo closely, the water is running so that I can stick  my head under it for an extra dose of cooling off.

Lily: When indulging yourself by taking up a large portion of the sofa, do a little kitty yoga. It’s important to stretch out those paws!

Tucker: When appropriating any of the human’s furniture, be sure that you settle yourself in the most comfortable way. If there is a soft throw on the piece, so much the better, confiscate that and the comfy pillow as well.

#AToZChallenge F

Hi All,
Tucker here.. Today’s letter is “F” for “FURRY AND FEATHERED WOODLAND FURIENDS”. We live in a rural area and there are many creatures that come to our house. The Female Human feeds most of them (not the skunks or the bears though).All these critters are very polite and go home after they’ve been fed (they can’t burrow under the house as we are built into a hill with lots of concrete.). All that is except the pesky woodpecker we wrote about recently.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these photos of the view we have at our house. The Humans refer to it as “kitty cable”. The Female Human told me to tell you that although there is only one bear photo included (look at the lazy thing, laying on the railing and eating the bird seed) we had not one, not two but 3 bears at our house! And also, the bird feeder is no longer on the downstairs deck!

Welcome to our very own purrsonal wild kingdom!
Purrs & Head Bonks,

TuckieSig

#AtoZChallenge C

img_1429Hello Folks,
Lily here. Today’s challenge letter is “C” and that stands for CUDDLES. All of the Tribe loves to cuddle and we seem to have our designated cuddle buddy. My cuddle buddy is Tucker, although I have to admit I sometimes get on his nerves.

Oliver and Alberto are cuddle buddies and they really like to cuddle. Jasmine likes to cuddle with the humans. Here is a little Tribe of Five cuddle montage, I hope you enjoy it.
