    My cats scatter too, when the vacuum comes on, they fly up the stairs! Avery thinks it’s funny and she’s not afraid of it either…..anymore. I wish they weren’t afraid of it, I’d like to sit and use the attachments on their fur! Not a good idea if I want to remain unbloodied!!

    LOL@ KZ …. no, not a good idea!

    Cute pics, KJ! ….. Morning all! ….. a soon to be wet Thurs. here, good day to hunker inside and get some serious inputting done! ….

    well, now that Abby has found ‘white kitty’ …. she has been all over the house ….. found her at the foot of my bed this morning …. she came downstairs later when Abby came down for breakfast …. and now she has appeared in the brown donut bed …. I’m guessing she was missed! ….

    It took me a minute to figure this one out!

    OK, so get this-the city wants to make a Broncos emblem on the skating rink but it’s too cold to run the Zamboni. How cold is that, eh?

    Miss Abby really did white kitty. I love to see a pic of Miss Abby and her white kitty, AV.

    I saw these shoes and thought of our KJ:

    Hehe, funny pics – maybe it actually means give the vacuum cleaner the day off. Yep, that’s what I’ll go with!
    Once upon a time I had a cat who liked to be vacuumed. I too would love to be able to vacuum their fur. Interestingly, Leela likes to watch me use the hair dryer. Guess she knows the difference between beauty products for people (and maybe cats?) and cleaning products for the house.
    So very happy white kitty is back. Wonder what her story is.
    JK, it’s probably about time the cafe and lounge hot a good cleaning – seems feline Hazel has everything under control. I hope Kadoosh is okay.
    Too cold to run the Zamboni? Yikes, that’s cold! Aim some of your fans to a sweaty MS, maybe the return air will help you too. And those shoes, nope! I would wear those white pumps though.

    Tks for thinking of me PG. Now where can I score me those kewel black platforms? Purrhaps a shop where peeps who “charge for special services” shop – if you get my drift *wink*. I’d consider them to be safe and practical, anyone disagree? Hehehe. The white pumps on the other hand would work, esp if they came along with a premium as a shoe-lovin’ kitteh! 🙂
    Dorry, contrary kit that he is, is not at all scared of the vacuum. Fearless boy can inspire fear in others, as moi, esp last night when in middle of night we had 2 power failures so srsly pitch black, I had to be very careful til I got out flashlight, lest he pounce, as saying goes “all cats are grey in the dark.” In his case even in the light!

    Awww, Abby is too precious with her baby!! Thanks for the pic, AV.

    My boys are okay with the vacuum. They’ll take off if it is headed right towards them. :). Emily definitely makes herself scarce when it comes out, though.

    Got my new dishes. Basically, I’m mixing white (modern) cafe style dishes with vintage jadeite (light green) restaurant ware. The jadeite is something I can collect over time. eBay is a good source. The modern dishes are great to have too because they come in sizes that modern folk use. (You’d be amazed at what they called a salad plate or a soup bowl in the 1940’s! That’s why there were less weight problems, I guess.) Anyways, I’ve always enjoyed having just the right size dish for this or that and we use our smaller plates and bowls more than any others. So we’ll use the little jadeite dishes plenty.

    Oops, have to run collect son from Algebra. I’ll try and post pics when I return.

    EC, good idea on the dishes! …. I collect some that are vintage Japanese dishes, with a large smiling white cat …. I have blue and pink, and I too get them on Ebay ….. I’ll have to take a pic and post them, I love them, and I love the style – they are like plates with a small ‘bowl’ like rim …. super great for messy things like spaghetti, or stews …..

    I feel silly saying it, but my dishes make me happy! The jadeite has this lovely mysterious glow to it. I still like my 18 yr old everyday dishes (white with small blue trim) and packaged them carefully. I’m hoping next time we move we’ll have a dining room and I can put them in a small china cabinet (being used for books right now)I have. I’d love to be able to choose to use one or the other on a given day depending on my mood.

    Your Japanese dishes sound charming, AV. I’d love to see a pic.

    Oh EC, I love yours! they are so pretty! …. here’s my kitty dishes. I have four of the large blue bowls and 4 of the large pink ones. I found some of the small pink kitty dishes, and the blue small dishes, though they don’t match are some I bought during a trip to San Diego years ago … I think they go pretty well 🙂

    Awww AV, Miss Abby looks like a real happy camper!
    Love those kit dishes!
    And ECB, your dishes and place setting and cupboard are awesome. Just seeing how neatly stacked they are makes me feel warm all over LOL.
    JJ, thought of you while in supermarket. Saw chocolate with cherry thick-cut sliced bread. I could sniff the chocolate even through the bag and from a goodly distance. Now if I didn’t loathe cherries as much or even more than AV loathes bananas, said loaf would have come home with me.

    ECB, I LOVE those green dishes. How pretty!!! AV. I also love your cute kitty dishes! Thanks for sharing you guys….. Awww SO cute… Abby with her white kitty! I was given a Snoozle? I am suppose to keep it close to me to get my scent on it and then give it to my cats and see what they do with it. LOL

    Good morning all, it’s a drizzly day which will descend into full rain later and I am not complaining one bit. We are dry here and need the rain. HRH is somewhere outside in it doing her favourite thing – watching rain drops fall.
    Shadz hates the vacuum so I wait until she is outside before vacuuming.
    AV, that is so sweet about Abby taking White Kitty all over the house reintroducing her to the rooms. 🙂 That is a seriously squeeeeeable pic of Abby and her ‘bestie’.
    Hi JK.
    PG I think I got that pic. Oh can’t run the Zamboni, that is cold. Eeeeeek ! Those shoes are scary. I would be flat on my face if I tried them.
    Smart Leela knowing which is safe to be near. No sweating here today JJ, temps are down to the low 20’sC which is so pleasant.
    ECB I love the mix of old and new and the jadeite colour is beautiful. They look great in the cupboard.
    AV, I love your kitty dishes too.
    Cherries ! I have a pile in front of me right now. They will finish off my lunch very nicely.

    What the cat sees has srsly creeped me out MS! And then you went and added a reference to cherries! What have I done to deserve this? *wink* LOL. I just might have to buy those shoes – not. Although I did sport very comfy low heeled thigh high suede boots today!

    Hi KJ, that pic also creeped me out, no wonder cats hate the vacuum cleaner. Yuk !
    Cherries, did I mention cherries. Oh yes I did mention cherries. I wonder how often I can write CHERRIES. 😉
    I get the feeling I shouldn’t write cherries any more.
    I almost spat out my asparagus sandwich when I saw the Candice pic. It cracked me up.

    Me too MS, except I didn’t have asparagus in my mouth! You know how cats can go ‘airborne’ in a second, and that’s where my mind went!!
    AV, that pic of Abby and ‘white kitty’ is the sweetest thing! I think it’s suitable for framing, which is what I would do and have it on my desk. It’s adorable. I wish I could find Leona’s carrot, she loved that darned thing and it’s just nowhere to be found. She carries ‘Roadie’ around everywhere though. It’s funny how she likes the same size and shaped toys though. 😳
    Absolutely love everyone’s dishes! I remember those light jade dishes from somewhere, I’m wondering if my Grandmother didn’t have some of them. I remember drinking coffee from one of those mugs….AV, I love your kitty dishes too. Wish I had room to store another set of dishes, I’d have a variety of different shaped bowls and small plates.
