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.

Shaggy cat the Princess.

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.

Front window sunshine sleeping.

Uh oh.

It was time to get the boys "fixed" this week.  Tuesday was Mischief and Kinx' turn, yesterday Pakhet got to go in.  It's been rather comical to see 3 little "demigorgons" run around and bounce off of things due to their cones.

Not a fan of his brother in a cone!  Look at that tail!

Pakhet was "flying" last night after we got him home.

This is fine.

The twins just wanted to lay on me all day Wednesday.

"Whoa..."

"What the hell is on your head?!"

Pakhet showing off to his disabled brothers Wednesday.

Kitty weekend.

We could all use a distraction from the weekend bullshit.  Here are some cat pics!

Big Black visiting us and enjoying the catnip.  I must have him!

Comfy!

REALLY comfy!

On the heat vent when the furnace is running!

Pop case entertainment.

Mr. Mischief loves my lap.

Circle of warmth in front of the fireplace.

Waiting for me at the door when I got the mail.

(nose prints are still from Maizey, I can't bring myself to clean them off.)

Sun powered cats!

Emergency Services training.

Skyler got to practice some search and rescue training for the Civil Air Patrol in the mountains last Saturday.

Snack break.

They found the "victim".

Still snacking.

Group pose with the "victim".

Seven years ago.

We lost Mom.  Not a day goes by that I don't think about her or feel the desire to share something with her.

Mom and Altair on the Big Island in happier times.

 

Weekend cat happenings.

Mr. Mischief found the clean laundry bin (and sunshine) in Skyler's room

Miss Shaggy and Kinx in some sun and up to no good.

Pakhet jumped into the warm dryer as I was emptying it.

He also found the warm sheets fresh out of the dryer!

Is this their dad?!

Pakhet is a goof.

Pakhet is relaxing!

Lots of cats.

Whoa!  4 3 month old kittens is a lot.

CatTV on Youtube this morning.

Kinx likes trains!

Kinx likes the sunshine.

Pakhet likes the sunshine too.

Pakhet is relaxed.  Mr. Mischief got too hot in the sun right after I took this yesterday.
