Prepping for Boxing Day

Wait, wait, gotta spiffy myself up here ...

Okay, NOW.

Er, ah. Festivus Friday?

You may have noticed Maxwell was less than enthused about yesterday's Occupy Box event.

He doesn't look much happier in this one does he?
Stay tuned on Caturday to find out why.

Meh. Times two.

Wishing all who celebrate 
a very Happy Christmas!

National Hermit-Cat Day

Okay, yeah, so we might have made that up a little bit.
But can you blame us?

After all, it is National Cat Day.
And National Hermit Day.
And because Allie.

No hermits were harmed in the making of this post.

If only it worked that way, girlie. If only!

Our Sleepypod Adventure

Well, we were gonna call this our Great Sleepypod Review, but you know us.
It kinda evolved (devolved?) into an adventure!

First, there was the epic battle over dominance for the shipping box it came in.
 (cue epic sound effects)

Then Allie ran into a few *ahem* difficulties....

Allie: Maxwell. The box. You're on my box.
Maxwell: I am? I mean, I don't see your name anywhere....
Allie:  *sigh-h-h-h*

She did - finally - manage to get her new - PINK - sleepypod unloaded, but just as she begins her inspection of its custom carrying hood and plush interior...

Maxwell: Inspection? Did someone say inspection? Here, Allie, let me help you out!
Allie: Noooo-o-o-o-o-o...!
Maxwell: *stomp*stomp*stomp* Good sturdy construction!
               I hear this is the only brand safety tested with real crash-test dummies!

Allie eventually manages to coax Maxwell out by promising him a round of smacky-paw in the FAB sleepypod box (which makes an awesome Death Star in a pinch, BTW), when...

Faraday: COOLIO, a show! And with a cushy front-row seat, too!
               Momm-m-m-m-m-m! Where's the popcorn?!?

Ah, yes. The photo guaranteed to set Allie's blood pressure boiling...
(and, uh, Faraday...you do know you're sitting in the lid, don't you?)

(we're kind of thinking we might need to cue the soundtrack to Jaws here....)

Faraday: *gulp*


Maxwell: Dood, no, seriously. I'm not zipping you in - I'm zipping Allie out.
                Trust me. It's a good idea.

Later...
What is it with the boys and the pink sleepypod? 


Faraday: Maxie, you said you'd sit with me to protect me from Allie! 
 Maxwell: Mmmmpf! Watch the paw, dood. You're on my.... Ow.

Allie: *sigh* Well at least they left me the box.

Allie: And the pink sleepypod travel bowl that it came with. Filled with *whispers* treats...!
          #winning!

Cats in boxes?

Rumor has it that today is International Box Day.
What self-respecting cat passes this up, we ask you?
Here, Maxwell demonstrates the art of sitting on a flimsy box.

Maxwell: Take my paw if it collapses, and I'll pull you to safety.
Faraday: You sure about that?
Allie: I ...I...can't look...

Allie and Faraday are brave, indeed, wouldn't you say? Although, Allie does look as if she's a bit...concerned....

Allie: If you fall on me, Maxie, be prepared to PAY.

Friday Fashion Faux Paws

Allie: When engaging in boxing as a pastime, be sure to select a box that accents your coloring.

Here, you see me setting aside my own impeccable taste for the moment, to illustrate my point:

Orange does nothing for my grey fur coat, and clashes terribly with my mani/pedi.

Kitties! Don't try this at home!
