My blogging friend, Lady Banana, recently posted of her kitty Mabel’s recent spaying (or is it neutering? I can never remember which is which). My kitty Olivia (Livvy) is about the same age as Mabel, and both Lady Banana got our kitties at about the same time. I like her updates, and reading about one of Livvy’s peers (all the way across the pond, even, where they make those cool english saddles).
Anyway, I realized that 1.) I really really NEED to get Livvy spayed/neutered/whatever very soon, before her hormones go ballistic on me, and 2.) that I have been so busy that I haven’t had a Livvy update in a while! Isn’t she adorable?!
We take photos of her constantly. She is such a spoiled kitty! But she has a good temperament and is very affectionate.
She just loves laundry baskets. She hops into empty ones. The kids pick them up and carry her around the house, and she doesn’t seem to mind.
She also likes to scoot behind my doorway drapes. Any unsuspecting passer-by usually gets a playful swipe.
She just loves wrestling with my son’s coonskin hat. She has this strange affinity for darker-colored coarsely-haired things. One of the boys has this small, furry little stuffed animal (another raccoon critter) and she carries it around like it’s a prized mouse.
I’m hoping she’ll be a good mouser.
She’s a great cat napper, at any rate!

Hi. Livy is so big now!
By the pics I can tell the difference.
My Atos started doing crazy things around the house, it´s the hormones, lol.
Good Weekend xx

Are you going to get Atos fixed? I have had both my male cats done, and it was very inexpensive.
But for a female, it’s about $100. That’s the main reason why I have waited to do Livvy– too expensive!

She’s just adorable, but is she weird, too? My mother had a Siamese that used to sleep in the bathroom sink!

She’s such a sweetie – she sure is growing up! I can see why she likes that coonskin cap!

She’s a beauty, that’s for sure!

Shae’s lovely, What do you call her coloring?

Oops — I mean “she”

Thanks, fellow cats and cat lovers!
Livvy is a Tabby-Pointed Siamese. Apparently, it’s a real breed. There are cat shows with the breed, from what I gather. She’s exotic-looking, definitely.
She’s not “weird.” We have another cat, a tabby named Fuzzy, who is REALLY weird. He’s eccentric, and acts more like a person than a cat, sometimes. Livvy is all kitty.

Oh she is just too cute! I love the pic of her “fighting” with the coonskin hat, that’s hilarious! How come no pictures of Fuzzy? What’s he, chopped liver?
How do he and Livvy get along?

Carole… weeeell, I guess Fuzzy IS chopped liver! LOL! No, actually, Fuzzy is my son’s cat, and he is an outdoor cat (he’s a maniacal tabby who was set to destroy my house and eat my cockatiel until we put him in his natural environment!). We also have another outdoor tabby, Milo. I’ve taken photos of them, but not nearly as much as my “baby,” Livvy.
In case you missed it, Fuzzy debuted the blogosphere with his first Knock-Knock joke, for charity. http://freakyfrugalite.com/fuzzys-first-knock-knock-joke/

I clicked the link to see Fuzzy – oh he’s SO cute! He’s a big ‘ol boy kitty like our Q-ee. When the good weather comes you should let me and the plethora of cat lovers in the blogosphere see more of Fuzzy and Milo too!
