Thanks, Michelle! We hope you and the family will have a Happy Easter, too. Are the boys too old for the Easter Bunny?

Vanessa, Kitteh Barista, the today was fabulous, as always. Lola & Bug: OTJ party for Chase tonight, so get the pizza oven heated up and ready to go!

Happy Easter to you and yours, Michelle.

How are the kitties enjoying the Spring weather in their sumptuous catio?

Happy Easter to you, your family and fur babies Michelle. Did the boys have an Easter Egg hunt?

That's so funny Tricia - wish we had spring weather here. I'm sure it's the same at Michelle's. Spring is really slow getting going this year.

Well, I suppose it depends on how you define "Spring weather". It's raining here right now, but it's a bit warmer than a winter rain, so I'd call that "Spring weather".

Happy Easter Michelle!

Yes I'm back with my new boy Tika. It feels so good. I really missed Lantus Land so much. I'm semi-retired now as of January. Ayanna turned 10 yesterday and she sure loves her kittties. That will never change.
I have 3 more grandchildren all my son's kids. Patience is 5 and the twins Serenity and Bilal are going to be 3 in June. Say hi to all your kitties for me.

Hi ALL!

@carfurby , @Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA) , @Marje and Gracie , @Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey , @Wendy&Neko , @Barb and Tori ~~ What a wonderful day. We had the usual Eggs Benedict that my son Anthony cooks each Easter. tradition rules in the food category. Of course the Easter Bunny made sure that he left things for Nicholas and William. They got their egg hunt here too. Fun times for all of us.

@Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA) - nope on the Easter Bunny. William is a firm believer, and Nicholas too as far as I could tell. He is a wise one, so I suspect that won't last much longer.
Rusty! DUDE! Fear not! We are ready!!! ~~ Lola, Bug and Vanessa

@Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey , and @Wendy&Neko -- HAHA on the spring weather... well, at least this weekend was nice. The rest is wet wet wet. But it is warmer, so Spring has sprung. YAY! The kitties love their catio. It is interesting, they are out in it even in windy rainy and nasty weather. I have found Lola out in it when we had our snow "events" this winter. I guess it is sheltered enough that they go no matter what. They love the nighttime too, that Is Vanessa's favorite tome to be out in it.

@Barb and Tori - how wonderful to hear from you!! and you have new one, Tika. Diabetic? wow... kudos to you for going down that road again. I have thought of it, but need more free time, (Nicholas and William have taken alot of it), Before I bring in another one. I have had to cut way back on alot of things, including the Board. I do miss it too. I will have to watch for Tika. WOW, you must be very busy being grandma. Kinda fun isn't it? Kudos to Ayanna. I hope her love for kitties never leaves her too. Enjoy your semi-retirement!

So sorry it took me forever to get back to this condo... Life can be such a whirlwind!

Our Easter was wonderful, time with family. We had out usual brunch, with my middle son Anthony as out chef. He makes the best ever Eggs Benedict. YUM! There was an Easter Egg hunt for Nicholas and William, Easter baskets, and lots of good times.

Yesterday I went on my first "official" hike of the hiking season, kicking that off with a hike in Eastern Washington, to Cowiche Uplands and Canyon. It is one of my favorite hikes, go every year. Weather in the other half of our state was great: Sunny and 62. Getting over Snoqualmie Pass was interesting... lots of rains, and snows higher up. I'm just glad I had no travel issues.

Lola, Bug and Vanessa continue to do well. They still LOVE their catio! This year Their abode will be on the 2017 Catio Tour of Seattle. WooHOO! We are excited, and happy to show off our version of kitty nirvana. That will be in June. This Monday Bug goes in for a dental, one that is sorely needed! Such tartar! So think of him on Monday, maybe send a few kitty vines his way... They, aka the vet, want to do Vanessa too, but at 16 years old I am very reluctant to have her undergo anesthesia. We are looking for alternatives for her.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK, EVERYONE!
and kitties: THINK BLUE, THINK GREEN!

@Rachel & Chyna (GA) , @Kako & Tux , @Bron and Sheba ~~ Thanks everyone for the visit! I hope all had a great Easter. We did well, good times!

It looks like you and your family had a wonderful Easter. I'm glad the kitties are still enjoying their catio. How cool on the tour. Sending prayers for Bug's dental.
