*chattering teeth*

Aww, c'mon!

🥶🥶🥶

These are just some silliness, as we all grumble about Winter and the Polar Vortex.

Purrs for anyone experiencing severe weather. 

Say What?

 January 22 is Answer Your Cat's Question Day!

Alright, fellas; what have you got for me?

Manny: Why don't you stay in OUR CHAIR longer, as I sleep on your legs, so I can get a proper 4-5 hour nap without you moving?

Answer: Dearest Manny, I would stay until the cows come home, but my body demands that I do something, and it wouldn't be pretty if I didn't get up; sorry, honey.

Chili Bruce: Not a question so much as a thank you, for draping a blanket over me when I'm sleeping on the futon.  I like it very much, even if I stick my leg or tailio out.

Answer: I know you like being a lump under there, CB, and it's very cold right now, so enjoy, sweetheart!

Henry: You don't spend as much time at your desk these days, and therefore I am left alone more.  What is that about?

Answer: A surprise turn of events happened, Henry O, as I have retired.  No more hours spent at the computer, looked at multiple monitors, and laughing with co-workers about some inside joke.  I try to spend as much time as I can with you, and you've noticed that The Hubby visits you regularly now, yes?  That's because he wants to be your friend too; we both adore you.

Am beyond thankful to be a retiree; I'm a pensioner!

Age is just a number, and my inside self is still a kid, so look out WORLD!

Hug a Tree Rat

January 21 is:

National Hugging Day...

...And

National Squirrel Appreciation Day.

Two squirrel pics from our yard; that cheeky one on the window screen scared me to death when it jumped up there, next to where I was working!

😹😹😹

Would be happy to hug a squirrel, so I'd only need one pic for today, but alas, no such image exists...yet.

Don't Mess With The Penguin

"Penguin Awareness Day brings global attention to a group of birds facing mounting pressure. 

There are 18 recognized penguin species worldwide, and many now struggle with shrinking habitats and limited food access. 

This day centers on conservation concerns rather than treating the birds as distant symbols."

Let's be nice to penguins, even if we laugh a bit at them.

Popcorn Addict

MLK Day (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) is a U.S. federal holiday observed on the third Monday of January, honoring the civil rights leader's life and legacy.

It's hard to believe that we continue to struggle to open our minds to equality amongst all humans.

~~~

On a lighter note, January 19 is National Popcorn Day.

From a person who will munch popcorn 24/7...and I have witnesses!...here are a few sillies for your entertainment:

Bunny Rabbit

It's Sunday Selfies!

Dipped into our photo library under January 18, and this lovely image of Celestial Angel appeared, taken January 18, 2020.

One of her nicknames was Bunny Rabbit.

Popped it into Lunapic, using the Scribble filter, and made a jigsaw puzzle.

Ooh, My Head!

It's Caturday!

Leftover from Wednesday's National Hat Day post, we had a funny pic of Manny in the straw cowboy hat.

Manny looks like the hat was eating his head!😹

Using my Prisma app, I artified the pic a few times, then made a collage.

Looking Around

This week at Eastside Cats has been a series of holidays (term used loosely), and next week will be the same.

Da Boyz and Henry are well, as are The Hubby and I, despite the new snowfall and frigid temps.

Cannot walk in the neighborhood or nearby parks for exercise when it's icy, but I do get out in the world often enough to snap photos of stuff that I find interesting.

Listen to the snow; we hear it seldomly.

🦌 ❄️ 😹 🪟 🪾

Toppers

For no good reason, January 15 is National Hat Day!

International Hat Day is November 25, so we'll revisit the topic.

Celestial Sweetie enjoyed wearing hats, especially her tiara, which befitted the royal feline that she was.

Plus, she had those nasty murder mitts, so whatever she meowed, we went with!

This year, we asked Henry The Ninth if he was willing to partake, but he gave it a hard pass.

Henry: "Don't think so!"

Manny, the biscuit-maker extraordinaire, def wanted to show off his chef's toque.

Chili Bruce found the straw cowboy hat fit his mood.

Assisting Da Boyz with their headwear had me giggling, and The Hubby wondered what in the Sam Hill was going on?

Once he'd witnessed the modeling session, he quietly turned away to hide in the kitchen.

Am thankful for that, since his attitude was going to wreck the vibe of our photo shoot.

January 16 is Appreciate A Dragon Day!

A few sillies to show my dragon appreciation:

Humans *eyeroll*

January 14 is National Dress Up Your Pet Day!

No Eastside Cat was interested in this holiday, and I was lucky to walk away without any murder mitts rending my flesh, so here are some sillies that recommend themselves to the day:

Note: Manny continues to sport bald patches over his eyes, as Chili Bruce will lick his brofurs' fur right off of him, PLUS he'll chew off Manny's head whiskers.

When they are both in my lap on MY CHAIR, I put my hand over Manny's noggin to stop CB's onslaught.

I'll get licked instead, or CB will look at me straight in the eyes, communicating that I haven't a chance of stopping him.

No one has ever said that I give up easily, dear Chili.

Oh, it's ON!

January 12 is Kiss A Ginger Day!

Eastside Cats has no orange felines at this time to smooch, however since we'll smooch any kitty that we can get near our lips, why not celebrate ginger cats with cartoons found on social media?

For your entertainment, working ginger cats!

😹😹😹

Too High?

It's Sunday Selfies!

Today, Manny was on top of the refrigerator, and deigned to take a selfie for today's post.

He looks like he's spaced out!

Maybe the air is thinner 'way up near the ceiling?

I played around with this image, and made a jigsaw puzzle out of it:
