Sleepy Sunday

It is COLD in Michigan today. Bitter COLD!! I slept til 8:30am which I NEVER do and even  the "boyz" are tired. Full fledged winter hibernation has set in....

Wake us up when it is Monday....ok?

Cody sleeps on the top of this chair so much there is a permanent "dent" in it!

Even Dakota who is normally like a kangaroo on "Red Bull" seems to be  "down for the count" today!!

You guys have the rightt idea - it's the only way to fight cold weather. M has had to turn the heat up lately, which means she'll grumble big time when she has to pay the bill. Geesh, I hope she doesn't cut back on my kibble to pay for the heat!

Laila and Minchie said...

We think we should all sleep through Monday too!

Happy New Year!

lvideki said...

Hi Caren
Pretty sleepy around our house too. My hairy slobbery sisters is snoring, so is Daddy and the brat is hiding under the covers on the bed. Me is going back there too as soon as me finishes...

Little One is curled up on a comforter on the sofa, but Gum Drop thinks I need help with my typing so she's sitting on the desk observing. Hope it warms up a bit for you.

It's 41 degrees here this morning in Massachusetts and my fur-babies are sitting in an open window. I'm sure it won't last ...

Admiral Hestorb said...

I LOVED those descriptions especially for Dakota!!

Brian said...

Snoozing until Monday sounds like a plan to us!

Stacy and Ellie said...

Isn't it so nice to sleep in though :) Jon and I both slept over 10 hours!!

I just saw the Blog Paws badge on your blog, I didn't know they had made a badge for that already -- I will be going so I'm looking forward to meeting you! :)

Caren Gittleman said...

@Mario your Mom would NEVER sacrifice on kibble for heat!! Your Mom would go WITHOUT HEAT for kibble! I know your Mom! xoxo

@Stacy and Ellie..yes it is nice to sleep in but I am one of these people that it throws my day totally OFF! I am a control freak and it makes me feel totally out of control. Yep BlogPaws has a badge!! Ohhh it will be so great to meet you! :)

@Brian, you got it my friend!

@Admiral Hestorb hehehe (about Dakota! lol!!) Trust me, it is the TRUTH! But we love him. Cody just stares at him with an expression of complete disgust when he gets like that!

@Coffee Slut, sorry to say my friend, it won't! We were in the 40s (actually 50s!) the other day. It is coming your way! Wow what happened with all of the snow that you got? It must be flooding!

@Mason "Gum drop" I love that name!! Aren't kitties great "supervisors?" Won't be warming up here for quite some time :(

@Penelope, hurry before the Brat gets your spot!! xoxoxo

Caren Gittleman said...

@Leslie, we are! Might make a pot of veggie soup today YUM!! You stay warm!

@Mrs Tuna, wow frost in AZ? That IS cold!!

@Laila and Minchie, it is the only way to go! Happy New Year to YOU!!

Its always fun to see where a cat will nap for a while. Only our old British Short Hair, Gwynnie has her own "always sleep here" spot. The other two can be found anywhere.

Caren Gittleman said...

@onemixedbag, Cody is the same. Lately this is his new "go to" spot. I am sure he will be changing it again...soon!! :)

Tucker said...

Hey, when it's cold out, what better to do than fnd a warm, comfy spot and snooze?

Caren Gittleman said...

Tucker ya got that right! ((((hugs)))

Gods Little People said...

Oh so the right thing to do on the 2nd of January!! I for sure would have stayed in bed all day if it wasn't for some hungry stray kitties awaiting their breakfast :-)
Big hug...
- your story of New Year and Bobo made SUCH an impression on me.

Hilary said...

Marc and I slept until around 8:00 yeseterday... i don't remember the last time that happened...We felt like we lost half the day. Alex on the other hand was none to pleased with us.

Michelle @ The True Book Addict said...

I know what you mean about those Michigan winters. My hometown is Midland. What part of Michigan do you live? I live in Nashville now and our winters are pretty mild...usually. We did have a white Christmas this year. It was lovely to see the snow on the trees just like when I was a girl growing up in Michigan. Your cats are adorable! I know my Alice hates to be cold. She sleeps under the covers in the winter!

Sparkle said...

Although it is not cold here like it is in Michigan, it certainly feels cold to us! We are BFF with the floor heater these days!

Caren Gittleman said...

@GodsLittlePeople, you are sooo sweet! Thank you! You are also an Angel to feed those stray kitties! xoxo

@Michelle...small world! I am in Farmington Hills but mostly grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Moved to Michigan in 2001. Ohio winters were no better though! Thanks about my kitty! Awwww your kitty sleeps under the covers? Too cute!

@Sparkle too funny! That is ok, it is all in our frame of reference and being in Cali 50 must feel cold to you! :)

@Hilary, I can't believe Alex allowed you to sleep that long! My husband got up earlier that is the only reason I was able to do it. He fed the "boyz"...I know what you mean about feeling like you "lost half of the day" that is exactly why I hate to do what I did!

Lui said...

Have a merry, safe, fun, and cool 2011 to all!

OKcats said...

It's been pretty chilly here, too, aside from the 70 degree day last week (which was super duper windy, but to ask for no wind just seemed greedy). I've definitely slept like the dead with this cold weather, which has been soooo nice!!

Cat Street Boyz said...

We had a 2 day warm up here in Bucks County but the cold returns tonight. The only thing we miss is opened windows and the deck but we have deep windowsills and our catwalks for playing and snoozing. Our Mommy LOVES the Christmas season and is sad that in 4 days the 12 days of Christmas is over, the tree goes down and the cool train gets packed away. Till then we will be snoozing under the tree watching the train go by.....Have a healthy and Happy New Year!

Carolyn said...

Awwww! Bless! Austin seems to love the cold. However, there is cold and then there is Michigan cold!!! Keep yourselves fluffed up x

Amin said...

Hello!
If it is cold ,then there is nothing to do ...

Amin said...

Interesting post...

(Diane) Bibliophile By the Sea said...

Michigan? I was sure you were in CA somewhere...LOL (maybe at one time)? It is nice in New England, but will be getting colder this week.

Have a great week Karen

Pup Fan said...

I'm with you... so hard to get motivated. Happy Sunday!

Mr Puddy said...

I wish I could see Dakoto does a kangaroo on "Red Bull" in one day : )

Old Kitty said...

There's nothing like hibernating from the cold on a Sunday!! Me and Charlie think sweet Cody and lovely Dakota have today all sussed!!
:-)
Stay warm!! Take care

houndstooth said...

Forget about Monday! Just wake us up on the first day of Spring! Actually, it was yesterday that we all slept like crazy. Darned cold meds! Today was much better for all of us!

Ruth said...

Haha, our little ones Indi and Tosca have commandeered the piano stool from Yoda cat - they're lucky his backup spot is Mum's lap!
I almost wish it was cold here today - it's the middle of summer and today is muggy and hot! I mean, if it was sunny and clear I wouldn't mind...but it's muggy, ugh!

Au and Target said...

Today Monday or next week Monday? MOL

Caren Gittleman said...

@lui, thank you, the same to you!

@Au and Target TOMORROW Monday cause I am in Michigan and it is still SUNDAY here lol

@Ruth ok I will give you that one....I HATE muggy too! I would rather be cold than too hot and sticky!

@houndstooth, I sure hope your cold is feeling better! I agree with you about waking us up when spring comes!

@Old Kitty, then you and Charlie would have liked our day because we (mostly THEY) did NOTHING! lol

@Mr.Puddy, I am working on it!! Trust me you will wake up just seeing it! lol

@Pup Fan soooo true!! Happy Sunday to you too!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Diane nope! Been in Michigan since 2001....lived in Ohio from 1963 til 2001, Pittsburgh and was born in NY! Watch out, our cold is heading YOUR way!

@Amin, yes there is something to do...SLEEP! lol

@Carolyn ohhhh we are plenty "fluffed" lol

@CatStreetboyz that sounds soooo cozy! Enjoy the train! We actually were in the 50s the day before yesterday, pneumonia weather!

Caren Gittleman said...

@OkCats, 70 degrees sounds PURRFECT right about now :)

d'Artagnan Rumblepurr said...

We're melting over here, and I'm trying to do the same as you and snooze it away...

Caren Gittleman said...
