Even Stalone Thinks It Is Cold Outside

Yuriy sent me this message earlier today:

"When you will come home be careful.
Don't sit down on the bed without checking under
the blanket.
Stalone sleeps there last 2 hours, under the
blanket. 
I can see his left rear leg near your pillow.

Ok, I am leaving now..."

The following picture was sent to me few hours later:

He is still there.. Just changed his position.

Stalone's Typical Friday

I am taking 5 mins off my crazy meeting marathon today to share few pics of Stalone sent to me from home to illustrate a typical Friday in cat's household...

It doesn't make you jealous even a bit... Right?

They Finally Did It

Initially we got two mainecoons because we thought one would get sad and lonely while we are away from home.

Funny enough, Shiva and Stalone, being sister and brother, didn't bother to keep each other's company too much: they like to play different toys, prefer different foods, have different preferences how to spend their leasure time.

Until yesterday. I was on my way to bed when my eye caught a "two cats in one cat bed" picture. I think, they figured out that it is more cozy that way while I was on my caribbean cruise. Just took them almost 2 years to do that... Yay!

My First Caribbean Cruise

I needed a vacation and I got one, Shiva tried to go with me, but it didn't work out - she doesn't own a swimming suit...

Since it was my first Caribbean cruise I had few things to learn:

1. Have beach cloth with pockets, closable pockets are preferable: you don't want to carry a purse with you on the ship and you need something to put your keycard in. Some kind of keycard holder would work here too probably.
2. Take a refillable water bottle with you: bottled water cost an arm and a leg on the ship, and they have water water fountains everywhere. And you get thirsty ashore.
3. Apply tons of sunscreen: the sun there is strong, even when you don't see it, it still will burn you if you don't use sunscreen.
4. Sit and relax, it is a vacation after all...

We visited to Half Moon Cay (The Bahamas), San Juan (Puerto Rico), St. Thomas (USVI).

I don't have many photos, these I do have will keep my memory fresh and warm.
