DIY Kitty Gingerbread House!

Since last night marked the first night of Chanukah, we were feeling a wee bit festive around the house.
It's honestly been a bit festive this entire week, starting with the Big Blizzard that arrived during the Thanksgiving holiday!

(cue requisite shot of snow from crappy camera phone...and back of kitty's head.
Can you tell how horrified Maxie is about all that white?)

Since it's the holidays, and so many of our friends are talking about the cool holiday cat houses they've found in certain large retailers (whose names begin with T and have a big red circle in their logo)....
In case they were all sold out by the time you made it to the store...
and in case you're feeling a wee bit crafty...
ANNNND on the off chance that YOU TOO ARE STUCK INSIDE IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS (ZOMG!) ...
we thought we'd resurrect a fun DIY project we did a few years back.

(drum roll PLEEZ!)

We present: Your very own DIY Gingerbread House.

Maxwell: "Don't mind if I do." Faraday: Are you vandalizing the bushes in front of my house, Maxie?
Where's the Homeowner's Association Police when you need them?

All you need is a nice, big cardboard box, a box knife, and some sturdy tape.
For decor, we have some candies, snow trim and gingerbread men you can download and print (links at the end of this post).
Just adhere them to your house with a bit of white glue and you're ready to enjoy!

Check it out and let us know what you think:

Post-Turkey Retaliation

SOME kitties like turkey, too, Mommy.
And SOME kitties like pumpkin pie.

And if SOME kitties don't get their fair share of the goods....

SOME kitties won't be responsible for where leftovers might appear inside the house.

EXHIBIT "A". 

Found at top of stairs.

Half-eaten.

EXHIBIT "B".

(and no, Mommy will not let us show the evidence, so don't ask.)

Waffles is #sorrynotsorry

Maxwell: DOOOOOOOD.
That laptop looks familiar.

Faraday: Hey Maxie, that's Waffles! What's he doing on Mommy's computer??!?!?

Waffles:

Maxwell: Don't look now, dood, but things are about to get worse. 

SO. Much. Worse.

Faraday: *GASP*

MOMMY, HOW COULD YOU?

Hey, wait. You mean I could sit on Mommy's shoulder like that while she writes? 

Be right back....

'Toon Tuesdays

Anyone wanna binge-watch?

Selfie #FAIL

*cue the soothing clickety-clack of typing noises*

Suddenly nearby, a camera shutter clicks....

Maxwell: Wha--? Hey wait, Papa. 

Hand that over for a sec. 

Just wanna take a selfie of me and the brat boy....

Faraday: *sigh-h-h* Seriouslies, Maxie. 

Between you and the hoomins, I'm never gonna get my afternoon beauty nap!

Post-Thanksgiving Blues

Maxwell: *sigh-h-h* No turkey leftovers. Just cat food.
The same old thing, day in and day out....

Wait....

What do you mean "but it's turkey, too"?
It looks nothing like what was on your plate yesterday.
