Sugar naps while the teddy bear stands watch

Ask not for whom the Smudge lurks, he lurks for thee

Saja has located a sunbeam. More updates as events warrant.

Smudge has some important news: BOX

Spice is just THRILLED the human is back from his travels, THRILLED, I say

"Hey, when did the kitten get so big?"

"I think the dog is dead. I think we should eat her."

"No, I am not sleeping on the top stair just to trip you and make you fall down the stairs. But it would be a nice bonus."

"I was told there would be bacon."

"Yeah, okay, that bird is DEFINITELY trying to start something with me"

"The power is out and you can't get online to work? That means you have more time to focus on me. Get to it, human."

Sugar: "So where am *I* going to sit? Rude."

"Why, yes, officer, I did see the whole thing, and I would be willing to testify in court about it"

Spice and Smudge exhibit the differences in nap position philosophies

"You were gone for several days without permission, human. But I am so glad you are back I have left you a special gift in your shoes. You're welcome."
