Myst is sleepy

We survived the visiting relatives and excitement but it exhausted us

Merry merry merry Christmas!

It's cold today so we sit kind of close to kind of keep warm

Snow Myst

Mom! Mom! Where did all the moths go?

Waiting for our humans to come home

Saturday is a Good Day to Sleep --- For that Matter, So is Every Day

My Humans Watch TV and I Took the Pillow

It's Myst's turn to be the lookout

As soon as Myst enters, I am going to pounce!

Watching my humans and the outside but mostly watching my humans rush around

It's cold and rainy outside. Sleeping here until its nicer to look outside.

Hey!! That's MY sleeping place!!

Green grass, still!

Woo-hoo! An open closet to investigate.

This scratch box makes a good bed, especially when it smells like catnip

Even if its a bit small.

Myst looks like me today

Happy Thanksgiving! We got extra food and a new catnip-flavored scratch box

Peeking Between the Cracks

Crisp Cold Outside, Sunny Warm Inside

Basking in a little sunlight, thickly furred for winter

Hello! This is the warmest room in the house and its right in Terry's office.

Myst sits on a carpeted board on top of Terry's printer overseeing the work here.

What's that rustling sound outside?

What's Going On Out There?

I hear chirps and leaves and noises out there. I need a closer look.

I love wheelbarrow beds

In the winter, Richard brings the wheelbarrow in from the garden. It's cleaned and lined with blankets and cat beds. I love to sleep in it under the bright windows in the garage. Of course I have complete access to the house whenever I want but in Alabama, the winters are not so bad and the sun is angled just right to shine on me (when its not cloudy like today). I love to sleep here all day in the bright sun.

In Memory of Buzzy

When I first moved here, Buzzy and Dandelion were living here. Dandelion liked me but Buzzy did not really like me. He didn't hate me either, so life was good. I always tried to be friends with him, though. I like every cat.

Both of them lived well into their teens. I will never forget them.

It's a nice day. Myst is waiting for some leaves or birds to breeze by.

A nice small spot keeps out drafts and unexpected pouncing from behind

Sleeping and Sitting Around on the Sofa

Sitting Pretty after a Quiet Halloween

Shoes!

We love shoes!! They have been places and smell so interesting.

Myst is Bored

Myst does what he usually does when bored: go cry at Terry to do something interesting so he does not have to be bored.

My Super Strategy

Myst was chasing me. I ran and jumped into my super strategic place - the middle of this cat stand. He could not get behind me or above me too well, but he tried.

Myst watched me closely, sitting down and waiting until I jumped out - but I fooled him. I went to sleep. Nobody in this house sleeps more than me.

I waited him out. Eventually, he gave up and left. I won.

Myst says, "Who me ?" We cats can act innocent at a moment's notice.

I have a feeling that I may get into a chase and pounce game after I wake up.

Myst is watching Penn & Teller Tell a Lie

It keeps my humans laughing for some reason. Myst particularly enjoyed the wrecking ball scene.

The Door Challenge

I was bored, only Terry was awake. I walked the hall, crying loudly so that I could wake everyone else in the house. Then Terry scooped me up and gave me "The Door Challenge."

We play this game often. She closes the door almost all of the way so that it looks completely closed. Being closed inside a room means only one thing: I have to GET OUT FAST. Sometimes I am impatient and claw up the carpet, expecting Terry to let me out - and that can be interesting in itself.

Eventually, I get the door open, though. I am proud of myself - and surprisingly, I am not bored anymore.

Part of the Living Room Decor. Terry picked carpet colors to match me.

Myst's New Bed by Terry

A patch of sunlight, a soft quilt and life is perfect

A good day of petting and brushing, makes us sleepy.

Will someone please come clean this window?

Darn! Another Closed Door!

Hmmm, a table just for us to sit on. I like it!

Hanging Out

It's a standoff or sitoff - who will make the first move? We pretend to be casual.

Keeping our humans healthy by preventing carpal tunnel syndrome

Things started out innocently and before we knew it PHOOM! All-Out WAR!

Just Right for Myst

Telling Terry to Get Up and Play
