He's My Brother

Even as I type, Cicero & Phidian are roughousing and fur is flying, literally.

But what peaceful moments they share at rest!

Cicero (Lil Big Brother) and Phidian (Big Lil Bro) are not related, except for the fact they were adopted separately at ASAP and live with me. They have become inseparable, much to my pleasure -- and theirs.

New Year's Day

My furnace has been on its last legs, leaving the Boys to save my day on New Year's.

Imagine me watching the Rose Bowl parade in my easy chair, wearing long johns, fleece pajama bottoms, nightgown, wool socks, fuzzy slippers, and fleece robe.

Space heater was on, TV was on, but what really kept me warm and cozy was the judicious application and constant presence of the Purring Lap Robe shown below.

Long may they wave!

The Smell of Home

After our Thanksgiving trip, Phidian luxuriates in the smell of home. I've changed my ASAP (cat shelter) volunteer schedule to allow me to do more of the same. Happy New Year!
