Sardines. Or Felines.

Tibby, Fibby and Mink on bed

I walked into the cat house yesterday evening and saw this interesting configuration on the floor — three cats tightly packed together like, well, sardines in a can.  And they actually stayed this way long enough for me to go to my office and retrieve the camera!  That's Tibby facing backwards, sandwiched between her brother Fibby and the top and wobbly Mink at the bottom.  Apparently there wasn't enough room for all three to face the same direction — pointed at the heater, they're favorite position! — so Tibby compromised and fit herself into the mix in reverse.  Whatever works!

    Someone ought to make a jigsaw puzzle out of that cat combo. 🙂 I was just thinking about Tibby & Fibby, so it’s good to see they’re well and happy. I don’t remember Mink, however. Is s/he a new addition?

    That is so cute! I have 4 cats who would never snuggle together like that…wish they would – it’s so sweet.

    That’s SO cute! My cat Sweetpea does the same thing. Now that the weather has turned colder, she always sleeps right in front of the heat register! 🙂

    They look so warm & cuddly. I love how kitties will find a way to get into the smallest space imaginable. And, of course, seek out the warmest spot too!

    Steve!
    You should be ashamed. What happens when Alayne finds out you’ve been hanging out in cat houses?
    Looks like lumps of coal in your stocking this Christmas.
    In all seriousness, best wishes this holiday season to you and Alayne. For all you do, you shall surely be blessed.

    Great picture. I am beginning to think you could save yourself a lot of time if you would start carrying your camera with you as you do ALL your chores! That seems to be when you get your best pictures!
    Happy Holidays!

    This is why some of us are so fascinated by cats. What exactly does on in their feline minds? Why, for instance, does a 10 lb cat think that a shoebox is a perfect fit? Why do my four cats sleep in a heap when the whole sofa is theirs for the taking? Who knows?

    The colour-arrangement in the cats is nice too! And they are right, they look muuuuch better on this light pad than on the circus-coloured one behind them ;-)).
    Great picture!

    Thanks for that precious picture, Steve. It does my heart good, as we just had to put a very special stray kitty that we had adopted to sleep on Friday night — our hearts are hurting pretty badly now, but knowing that we did the right thing and he is no longer suffering — he brought us much joy. Merry Christmas to you and Alyane and all of God’s special creatures that you so loving take care of.

    We are taking care of four little feral cats, although they all have been named and “Sugar” likes pets and loves now.
    My husband and I purchased two little “houses” and heating pads, plus a heated water dish to keep everyone comfortable and safe this winter (on our back porch).
    Needless to say, the “houses” are a big hit and each will keep two to three kitties quote cozy. And “Mom and Dad” can sleep without worry.
