Time to let me know if you want a holiday card, with this year’s featured Crooked Acre permanent resident! Go here to Postable, enter your name and address, and your card will be on the way soon. I am happy to send cards to other countries, this is NOT limited to U.S. residents. If you have any problems, drop me an email and I’ll do my best to fix it. I’ll take names and addresses until December 20th.

If you’d like to send me a card as well (never ever required, but always appreciated – I don’t keep track of who does or doesn’t send a card, I promise!), send it to:

Robyn Anderson
1260 US HWY 72E, STE B #130
Athens, AL 35611 USA

(PS: If that link doesn’t work for you, or you prefer not to enter your info (I delete your name and address once I’ve downloaded it), you can email me instead.)

I haven’t seen anyone actually playing with Mister Frog, but he travels around the room a lot, so SOMEONE must be. He makes a good pillow, according to Drum.

Shelby’s all “What?”

It’s a rough life isn’t it, Drum?

Couch potatoes. (From left: Shelby, Ouiser, Clairee & Drum)

Ouiser’s on alert ’cause she knows it’s entirely possible I’m going to pick her up and kiss her. (She also doesn’t look like she hates the idea.)

Ouiser and Shelby share the scratcher bed.

You might think Drum and Shelby are snuggling here…

But Shelby’s Open Mouth of Outrage says it ain’t so.

M’Lynn says “Oh, hi.”

Newt loves that big ol’ soft bed, which we put there just for him (how often does a cat actually use a bed you put in a spot for them? This is a noteworthy event.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.

The girls (Clairee (back), Ouiser (left) and Shelby) are having a hard time getting going this morning.

Talking about Shelby’s stress/fever coat earlier this week reminded me of Mike from last year, another house panther who didn’t have a fever coat when we got him (that’s him on the left top, shortly after we got him), developed a really cool looking one (right) about 3 weeks later, and then lost it before he was adopted (lower left.)

The kittens are having fun with their new (to them) tunnel, they really like those table tennis balls (the bouncier, the better), and once again M’Lynn’s tail makes an excellent toy.

We have a gingerbread house (thank you Evelyn)! Drum approves, and is really looking forward to chomping on it.

The kittens figured out how to get behind the couch, so I pushed it away from the wall (so I could get back there to get them, if I needed to.) This incredible event was LIFE-CHANGING, apparently, and the kittens raced around like crazy things for a LONG time. (It doesn’t take much to get them excited!)

Good night innernets. (Drum & Mister Frog)

I’d clean that window, but I don’t wanna disturb M’Lynn. #ThatsMyStoryAndImStickinToIt

Ouiser is such a pretty, pretty girl.

YouTube link
Shelby wants to be startin’ something with whoever happens to be around.

Clairee’s all “You talkin’ to me?”

YouTube link
The kittens are still enjoying that tunnel… and Shelby and Ouiser have a tussle.

Good night innernets. (Shelby and Drum)

Clairee is just the cutest little slacker this morning.

YouTube link
The kittens are playing, as they do. A little skittering, a little chasing, a little bouncing up after table tennis balls – the usual. And then Shelby settles down for a nap and things get quiet.

Shelby and that BELLY.

YouTube link
Ouiser and Clairee face off, and it turns out Clairee’s not quite the sweet Southern belle she pretends to be! (But we knew that, right?)

Good night innernets. (Drum)
