the Mo report 2013

Hello Mo fans!

It was a good year for Mr Mo and Miss Nimbus.  Mo was a December kitten, born unusually late in the year, and I sang him Christmas carols on the way home in the car so he would not be scared.  He snuggled right up to my neck to stay warm and has continued this practice for the nine years of companionship we have enjoyed thus far.

Here they are napping in peaceful togetherness.  They do sometimes get a bit feisty, usually with Mr Mo going on the offensive and chasing the temptress Miss Nimbus hither and yon.  They have been well behaved with this year’s Christmas tree,  a small table top version that is quite cute.

Miss Nimbus will celebrate five years with us this summer; they are both delights.

I have installed a stone circle on the porch to keep the magic alive until the summer sun returns.  Hooray for the solstice!

Snuggly cats

What a yawn!

The cats are enjoying the lovely spring weather we are having and have been extra affectionate and snuggle up with me every chance they get.  Here is Mo caught in the middle of a yawn and the pair of them snoozing by a shady window.

The spring flowers are blooming, the vegetable garden has a good start; altogether it’s a wonderful time of year.

Mo looked pretty surprised when he saw me evicting a stray tomcat, but we will all appreciate having that foul smelling, bad tempered freeloader gone for good.
