My daughter just had to go out and buy Ollie a Christmas sweater today. He obviously wanted to exit his photo shoot in her room…
This cat puts up with a lot. He’s such a good boy. 
And yes, he knows how to open doors.
THAT is amazing and something to be very grateful for.
There are 4 generations of humans in our holiday photo. My only sibling has been blessed with grandchildren so my 92 year old mom has “greats.”
Unfortunately I have no grandchildren. My adult children prefer to live their lives for themselves, at least for now. I don’t see my 2 oldest changing course any time soon as their lives are something out of a movie - they live the way most of us could only dream of. My youngest is finishing his graduate education so I’m not counting on him anytime soon. Since I’m not a “Nonna”, I have been granted the title of “Didi” (Dog Gramma). For now. And I love these little sweethearts beyond measure.
Puppies! and one really large kittie!
I must say that they look beautiful and happy.
“We’ve found our seating places, now you can go find yours.”
My first response was the commercial for a low light video camera that came out quite a few years ago. They “Caught” the cat and dog doing the “nasty” on the sofa.
I think it only aired once, and had to be removed from the advertising rotation.
Just look at the faces on those guilty animals! Something was going on!
This is Ollie’s. On my lap, as usual, right now. He’s hopefully keeping my BP under control.
He had a flare up in his eye yesterday, undoubtedly from the torture my daughter and wife put him through with that Christmas sweater. He didn’t seem to care but obviously it stressed him out. Nipped it in the bud with the medication we have left over. It’s already all better.
The face in the right is “you said CHEESE!”
Smart Ollie…now he’s probably exempt from wearing holiday sweaters! He doesn’t need a sweater anyway, he’s got hooman body heat (and a fur jacket) to keep him warm.
Glad the eye cleared up fast.
This must be like a 60 inch TV for Ollie to watch. Has he tasted the fish water, which our cats used to enjoy, straight, back before chemicals, in our small fish jar, which I think started out as a large Hellman’s mayonnaise container, or is this no longer allowed in modern fish tanks?
That’s what’s so funny actually. He’s spent 90% of his time in my MIL’s place upstairs.
He likes to watch TV and chase the baseballs, golf balls, tennis balls, footballs on the screen.
I have a feeling he has no idea that the fish tank is real. If he knew, he would be in it.
It’s 55 gallons, so there’s plenty of room for him.
Cats dislike getting wet, so would never dive in. Our cats used to just sip from the top of the jar for that wonderful fish-infused water–so satisfying.
So do beagles!
Ollie “airing it out” 
Does this need to be censored @papy??? 
If so, just delete the first pic.
Out like a light which is what I should be doing right now. Averaging 3 hours of sleep lately a night. Not Good!
Happy Birthday, Steve!
Thank you so much
Steve
Happy Birthday Steve! Wishing you many more healthy, happy, prosperous years!
