Staying warm.

Even though it's been a really mild winter here in Utah (and most of the West) this year, the cats still love the warmth of being inside.

Kitchen heat vent.

Fireplace.  
Kinx got too hot and crawled away while Pakhet was the trooper and stayed in front of the fire.

Pakhet loves the heat vents!

All of them huddled together on the window perch in our bathroom.

Taking the drone for a walk.

Altair needs to keep accruing time flying the drone for her FAA part 107 certification.  We headed up Butterfield Canyon (along with many others) yesterday afternoon.  We walked 2 miles up and down the canyon and she got a bit over an hour of flying time.

It was a bit windy so the drone was low.

Dogwoods were stunning.

A little ice on the stream.

Drone.  
You know what is missing from this pic?!  Snow!  
In the 35+ years I've been coming to this canyon, I've never not seen the road packed with snow on the first day of February.  Sigh...

Miraculous recoveries.

The boys are nearly back to 100%. They  can't stop playing rough and we have to keep an eye on them for licking.  No more cones!  

Princess Puffles (Shaggy Cat) is still getting to sleep in our room at night and you should see how excited she gets right before bedtime!  She also has an internal 6 A.M. alarm to eat in the morning so that's always a bonus wakeup call.
Mr. Kinx had to have abdominal surgery since his testicles hadn't descended and probably wouldn't ever descend the Nurse said.

Fresh air Friday.

Puffles sleeping near the open window.

Pakhet was relaxed yesterday.

Mr. Kinx the goof yesterday.

Mr. Mischief taking advantage of my soft side Friday night on the new couch.

A little while later while we watched a show.  He was out!

She missed her brother Pakhet Thursday while he got fixed.
