Christmas cats

We have 2 new additions to our household. Above, this is Tiger - he's a 7 year old tabby cat that we adopted from our local SPCA. He chose me as his human and although he's a bit timid he loves his cuddles and pats. 


And this is Floki - he's a 2 year old tabby with lots of energy. So far him and Bruno have become friends. They hold each other down and groom each other.

So of course at this time of year people get more frantic stocking up to buy their groceries for Christmas day. Work has been getting more and more busy, the roster has just come out and most people have been given an extra day or 2 just for the week. We've all been down with a nasty flu, weird as it's the beginning of Summer here, similar to Covid but it wasn't - it just knocked all of us down for a few days. Masks are no longer mandatory here but I've had enough of people coughing and sneezing on me so I've started wearing them again. Hopefully that will cut down the amount of time I'm home sick.

Your cats sound great new family members. I'm much more a cat person than a dog person.
One thing you don't need at this time of the year is flus and viruses. Hope all is well till after the holidays.

Two cute cats added to your family, how nice. Glad they are adapting well. We started wearing masks when we are on the bus, people coughing and hacking, it's so annoying. Have a wonderful week.

It's good to be chosen by a cat as Their Human!

I love dogs but I'm kind of a cat person really. We are getting a new Pomeranian puppy on thursday.
Public health is for some reason a huge political thing here. That being said Covid and Flue are skyrocketing here so my wife and I are starting to wear masks again. My wife caught the flu last week and is still feeling the effects.

We live in an upside down world.

Tiger and Floki are very pretty kitties. May they thrive in your home!

...congrats on your new additions. Wearing a mask makes sense in so many ways, take care and stay well.

Ohhhhhhh, lucky you with those two sweethearts!
Same here. Years and years nothing. Now; finally a holiday and I cough and sneeze, am tired, muscles hurt... Not nice. Bet when I start work again next week I´m fine.

That are two very nice sweethearts. I hope that it doesn't take too long for them to crawl on your lap and want to be cuddled but yes cats do have a will of their own. Sometimes they don't want to.
