Random 5 Friday



1.  Callie has turned into a real lap kitty.  She's happiest when she is on my lap and gets really huffy if I won't let her stay.  Stormy likes to be on my lap quite often, too, and it is fun to see her face when she jumps up on the arm of the recliner only to discover Callie has gotten there first.

2.  As you can imagine, it's a little hard to hold a laptop and work when you have a furbaby in the way.  Speaking of laptops, mine is being contrary.  I could get it booted up yesterday, but I couldn't click on anything.  I'll be taking it in for a checkup today. 


3.  I still have what I call my foster furbabies.  I keep hoping someone will want them and I won't have to take them somewhere.  It's hard to think of them sitting in a little kennel waiting for someone to adopt them.


4.  Double your pleasure, double your fun....name that commercial!  My hope is that they will get to stay together.  Sox and TJ are pretty much inseparable and what I call Double Trouble.  They are into everything!  I have to put them downstairs numerous times a day and just shut the door.  They can't get into quite as much trouble down there and they like to sit in the deep window sill and look outside.  


5.  I don't normally use slipcovers because I've never found one that looked good or fit nicely until now.  I'd begun to notice a few scratch marks on my relatively new sofa.  Can't have that.  So, I took a chance after looking at several and ordered this one from SureFit.  The only thing that I could complain about is that the color isn't quite the cream color that they show online, but it will still do nicely with the other colors in this room.

Until next time...

  1. Cats are precious, but they are a handful, for sure. Hope you find them a new home soon.

  4. Those are slip covers?!!! Wow...a most perfect fit. I will have to remember this when I want a change and don't want to spend a fortune on new furniture. Y'know?

    Awwwwwwww, your kitties are so purrrrecious. Love 'em all. Equally.

    Hope the checkup goes well and your laptop is do-able soon.

  6. They are so cute. My Daughter has five cats and two dogs. One day she went out and bought a dog and her hubby did too. They could not take either back because they liked them both. Cat had kittens and the grandkids wanted all of them. Now they are all neutered, so no more cats or dogs.

  11. They're SO adorable Cheryl! How will you ever be able to part with them? Loved your sage advice on your 'Selfie' post, and as far as eating dessert for breakfast, (or lunch or dinner), have been doing it forever! Your cherry delight would sweeten yet another, snowy, spring morning here in Toronto!

    Have a lovely weekend!

  17. i love the Cat Test in the last photo of the new covers... they sure fit good and it makes me want to cry thinking of them being split up...

  18. ....with double good, double good, Doublemint Gum. :o) I remember that jingle and the twins that sang it. I've often wondered about those slipcovers. The cats are sweet and I really hope they can be adopted together soon. Have a great weekend, Cheryl.

  19. I suspect your computer issue could be a hairball. :)

  20. Love your R5F Kitty Edition. We are having computer problems too but our problem is CenturyLink who says our little bit of rural has used up its bandwidth so they are going to do a big old upgrade BUT not until 18 April! Hope the kids won't have to be split up. Good Morning and WOW was it stormy last night!!!

  21. Will the vet allow you to post that picture in his office? How could anyone refuse two such cutie pies? Course you should avoid all mention of "double trouble." =D

    Fioré has only recently become a bit clingy, which worries me. Perhaps she is only cold like the rest of us!

    good luck with the laptop!

  23. Hi there, We are back from ANOTHER trip. This time we were in Georgia checking out yet another waterfall... Check my blog today when you get a chance.

    Well--I hate seeing slip covers over sofas --but sometimes you just have to do it!!!! Don't want those furbabies ruining the sofa... Sounds like you are enjoying your kitties!!!! I'm sure they are pleased to be there with you all!

    Have a great weekend. Wasn't that commercial about Doublemint Gum???
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  25. Oh I hope they go together too. You hate to split up friends.

  26. I love cats and miss mine very much, but I want to wait till my granddaughter is a little older before I adopt one, or two, again. Your crew are so cute! The Sure Fit cover looks great!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I sure hope you can find a home that will take both those cute little fur babies!

  28. Hi Cheryl!

    I love cats! I wish I could have one, but allergies prevent me from having one in my house, and I can't bear the thought of having an outside cat, and having something happen to it! We have lots of strays in our little country neighborhood, so I enjoy watching them in the pasture catching mice!
    I hope you can find a good home for those two rascals! They really are so cute!

    I'm going to be babysitting my daughters two miniature dachshunds for 7 days! My big dog thinks they should play with him, and they just hate him . . . should be a fun week! The one thing I love about them, is that they love to cuddle, so I will get lots of love!

    Hugs,
    Barb

  29. What sweet looking kitties. Too bad you haven't been able to find them a home but there does come a time when one more cat is just too many.
    Once I had five.

  30. Awwww....all those sweet, adorable kitties just melted my heart. I hope you can find homes for them. I'd adopt them if I didn't already have 6 of my own.

  31. they are adorable...hey that was a gum commercial ( I think..Doublemint? : )

  32. Sweet kitties. I could never be a pet foster-mom; it takes me about 10 seconds to consider myself a critter's REAL mom. Such sweet pictures of them all. (I know what you mean about not breaking up the set --- both my new donkeys were raised together, and I couldn't possibly just have one. So Virgil and Otis are continuing their donkey lives with us here, happy as can be.)

  33. They sure are adorable!! I would have never know that was as slip cover, it fits beautifully!!

    Have a wonderful weekend Cheryl!!

  35. Know what your mean. Minnie has become a needy cat lately and making a lap is an gilt edged invitation.
    Sure hope you can find someone to take the pair. They really are attached.

  36. It's definitely tricky to make comments on blogs with a kitty sitting in your lap! ;) Hope your laptop is easily fixed!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh, they are all so dang cute! SureFit eh, I'll have to look into that!

    ReplyDelete
  38. The covers are lovely, you would never know that they are covers. Doublemint Gum!!! I hope either someone takes them or somehow you can keep them...

    ReplyDelete
  39. I am impressed with the SURE FIT . . . fit!
    Wow . . . looks the best I have ever seen . . .
    Those two little ones are adorable, but bet they are a handful. I do hope they can stay together . . .

  40. DoubleMint gum! LOL! Oh, your furbabies are too cute! I hope your foster babies find good homes soon... though I'm thinking the longer it goes, the harder they will be to part with. Have a great weekend, Cheryl. blessings ~ tanna

  43. My Daughter has a female cat that is getting really old. It is such a sweetheart and I am not sure what she is going to do when she is gone.

    Your fur babies are adoreable.

  47. I love the cute pictures of your cat and kittens. Baby kittens can get in a fair amount of trouble. It brought back some memories when we had a cattery.
    Blessings for this fun one!
