I saw that trend cant imagine how thats even doable! I wont be joining in;) I’ve seen the trees caged too! 
I’m good with the table top versions ! Sexy Saxton pulled one of those over last year too and broke every ornament on it I learn something new each year!  Cant blame they are trees natural they want to climb in them and we added all kinds of shiny toys just for them 😻😺

Yes! Oscar thought all the shining balls on the tree were his Christmas presents, he batted most of them off! We'd be sitting there watching tv and hear "ping" roll roll, roll lolol 🎄

Haha, first Christmas with Hazel The Nut in the house, she showed up last year and we took her in when we couldn't find her former home. 

The tree is tethered in three places, and all the ornaments are soft or not sentimental! 

I've found her INSIDE the tree, happily sleeping on a branch and leaning against the trunk. My other cats have never bothered with the tree! Trust Hazel The Nut to be the one...

Hoppy New Year Everyone!

Well, Rusty (and my Christmas trees) survived the 11 days we were traveling over the holidays.  Auntie Barb visited him daily and sent us pictures and editorials from him.heart It still killed me to be away but it is good to know I can be.

Since we have been back home, we have a shadow.  

 While I am working.  

 While watching TV.

But this is my favorite.  My two boys...

 Cuddled up.

Rusty "The Bunnyman" adopted us in 2014.  Aug/Sept 2017, back left leg amputated (HSA cancer).  He remained cancer free over 900 days. Cancer returned as of emergency visit on day 931. 15 days later, he gained his wings 04/18/2020 due to congestive heart failure.  He will always watch over his fellow tripawds and their hoomins with Head Scritches and Sand Paper Kisses.

Hey Rusty the Super Bunnyman and Gina and Nick! Hoppy New Year right back atcha!!!

Rusty, dude, your looking great! I bet your Aunty spoiled you rotten!!! You missed your Mum and Dad though heh?! Nothin’ like those special snuggles and kisses you get!!! 

I love the last picture too! It looks like Rusty is picking his own TV channels...! What’s his favourite show? My guys like the new show “Cat from Hell” it’s teaching a lot of cat loving pawrents how to better read some of their language and signals. Kinda like the “Dog Whisperer”, but for cats pawrents!

Hope you guys had a great holiday! 

Snuggles and sandpaper kisses to your very handsome boy!heart

Petra, Paul, Stewie, Spike, Chester, Miss Lily and Ted heart

My goodness, Rusty looks just fantastic! He is one super cute, plushy cat!

On October 27, 2016, nearly 6 months after amputation, and 18 months since his cancer likely started, we lost Pofi to a recurrence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in his spine quite suddenly.  His canine sister also succumbed to cancer on March 1, 2019 - we lavished her with our love in the interim, but life was never quite the same without her only real canine friend. Cliff kitty had to leave us, too, suddenly, in August 2019. Lucia kitty grieved all these losses, but helped us welcome two new Lurchers into our home and our lives, Shae and Barley.

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is still doing great.  Much to His Highness's disappointment, all of the Christmas trees are down and no longer available for midnight chewing.  He actually kept sitting in the storage bags, just as we were lifting the trees to put them in.  Cute and annoying at the same time.

Rusty still has us all wrapped around his little paws.  We had gone away for a week with my mom so he is now connected to my hip and is a complete shadow every time we move throughout the house.  Good to feel loved smiley.

Some new pics posted here: http://rustythe.....-counting/

Let me know how you all are doing!

Gina & Rusty the Best Bunny Man!!!

Thank you for checking in... Brilliant to hear that Rusty is doing so well and loving you even more! 😉 Rusty, lovey, I’m sorry your trees were taken down, that sucks for a kitty doesn’t it?! Did you hide in a bag and discover where Mum put them? Hehehe!

Stewie and his pride are doing great! Thank you for asking! Stewie is hopping super merrily along and went for his Ortho-Bionomy and accupunture treatment last week. He ruvs his Miss Leslie! 

Spitfire Spikey is showing his age more and more, but he is managing well. Chester Molester is loving having a big brother to literallly romp with! Miss Prissy Lilly is falling in love with Mister Tedwardo! She even gave him a nose kiss last week! They are officially names Mister and Miss Food Piglet!! What more can I say about Mister Ted, he is one of the funniest characters I have met! He brings a ton of joy (& lots of loud conversations!) into our home and everypawdy is in love Gina!

lots of lovin’ and chin scratches to you Rusty Man!

Petra, Stewie 🐾 and his Pride >^..^< ❤️
