Sonja J says:I have an orangey like the sleeping one! He can be a real jerk. Lol! Kitties + Deep Carpets kept me from jewelry for 6 years, I’m so happy my current place has no carpet! (Plus, my fiance distracts the furry ones.)

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Mary, what delightful “supervisors” you have! LOL Obviously, Nikolai is officially in charge, while Ramblin’ Dan appears to be on his break…..LOL

gembeans says:I know the feeling of having the furballs in charge of the beading schedule!! Somehow I managed to end up with three: Princess,who is exactly that and must be treated as such and the two little, ones Hashbrown and Pumpkin Pie (8mos.) are buck wild and continually into everyting like 3 year olds! (All found and named by my grandson.) I could not imagine a day without them! Oh, except for yesterday when one of them decided to dispose of their half digested dinner into a newly purchased bag of beads! Yea, that was a fun clean up…never a dull moment!

Eeka Mouse says:I just couldn’t bear to disturb them!
Nikolai (grey & white) is not the fearsome creature he appears in this picture. His paw is raised b/c he’s washing his face, and the camera flash gave him devil-eyes.
Love the names Hashbrown and Pumpkin Pie!

Little Round Chick says:Nicolai is giving everyone a cat scan!
Pumpkin Pie and Hashbrown. Love the names! … Several years ago I had a cat named Pepperoni and I had a friend with a gorgeous classic pattern silver tabby named Cellar Door. What ever happened to the normal names like Fluffy or Sassafras?

Love all the kitties and the fun names!!!

Karil D says:I know the feeling! My cat does exactly the same thing. Finally, she is learning to sit off to the side, but close enough. Her coat is like a swiffer.
I find all kinds of beads embedded into her coat. I shake her up a bit, and I replenish my bead supply!.
