Inside, outside, we are surrounded by adorableness.

Like this majestic beast.

Of all the cats, he likes this plant stand the most. He’s so fluffy, he fills it out the most, too!

What a handsome boy!

As for the new additions inside, we have some progress with Butterscotch!

Not only is she starting to come out more often for some cuddles, she actually stayed on the bed after her human of the moment left – while other cats were on the bed, too! No hissing or snarling to be heard, either.

Speaking of cuddles…

Here was have Beep Beep, dwarfed by Cheddar, her son of 3 years ago, snuggled by her daughter of 2 years ago, Turmeric, who is still slightly smaller than her mother, if heftier, and finally, Beep Beep’s grandson, David. Who is the same age as Cheddar.

I think Beep Beep and Butterscotch will both be very happy to be done with kittens. 😀

Before heading outside this morning, I popped into the bathroom, glanced out the window into the sun room…

…did a double take…

I couldn’t tell which cat it was while looking through the window but, from the photo, I’m thinking this is Caramel.

Before leaving the bathroom, I glanced through the window to see if he (she?) was still there.

Suddenly, there was more!

Also, that’s a different cat in the bowl. I recognize Agnoos and Potato Beetle. I half-think the one in the box might be Junk Pile, but she is really shy and doesn’t tend to go into the sun room, ever, so I’m likely wrong about that.

There were seven in the sun room, in total. Along with the 5 in the photo, where was one in the box nest in the shelf above, and one more was on the top of another shelf, in the corner by the old kitchen window.

Once outside, I think I counted 14 cats this morning, but I’m not quite sure.

While putting some kibble out under the shrine, I got a giggle out of this.

Deer tracks… of a sort! A deer went galumphing through the snow, instead of using the cat paths, leaving big holes.

You know what else is amusing?

The fact that my spell check accepts the word “galumphing.” !! 😀

In other things, I’m looking to finally go our Costco trip into the city today. We’re at -21C/-6F right now, with a wind chill of -31C/-24F. We are supposed to warm up to -12C/10F with a wind chill of -21C/6F this afternoon, so I’m going to wait a bit before I head out. Looking at the long range forecast, this is supposed to be our coldest day for the rest of the month. In fact, after the middle of the month, we’re supposed to have several days above freezing!

Wouldn’t that be nice.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Hhmm… the more I look at the weather, the more I’m thinking, maybe I should just wait until tomorrow to go to Costco.

Can you tell I really don’t want to go at all? 😀
