Noel here to discuss my herb window.

The herb window is one of my favorite places in the house. However, the window is made up of single panes of glass and they freeze up on cold nights. Mom has a curtain up so that the rest of the kitchen does not freeze also. As you know, I like to take my meals in the herb window (even though I am too old now to jump up on the counter to get there). Mom lifts me up from the floor nowadays and then I sneak behind the curtain and chow down.

Gosh, I love my window to the world. I see everything and everyone sees me.

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Hi. Noel here. Mom said that I haven’t helped her in her office for a very long time. Mostly I have been sleeping on her recliner in the living room or on a dining room chair. But the other day something scared me and I wandered down the long hall and found Mom’s office. That reminded me that I used to spend a lot of time in there helping her do her work and especially create the DogDaz blog.

Mom gave me my old job back as her office assistant, but mostly I can be found sleeping in the guest office chair, which has now forced Jolie to sleep on Louise’s old office pillow on the floor.

Displacing the little dog is a great perk of getting my office job back. She had taken over the guest chair and now it is mine!

I think I will keep this job for a while, or at least until I forget where the office is again.

Sofie Bear would have been 12 years old yesterday. Here she is with Mr. Nine from a few years back. Nine would have been 12 this coming February. They passed too young at 11 years old. I miss them both a whole lot and I am thankful I got to spend so many years with them.

Memories are a double-edged sword: both sweet and painful at the same time.*

• • This is not my box. I am not the one responsible for the constant nibbling on the sides of the box and leaving cardboard shavings everywhere.

  • This is not my box. I am not the one that jumps in and out of it constantly when the laser red dot goes off and makes its evil marks on the wall all around the box.

  • This is not my box. I am not the one that sleeps in it most days.

But, I felt like today, it should be my box. So I took it! – Queen Noel, the Christmas Cat

(I am just going to ignore Mini.)

Queen Noel, the Christmas cat, here. Somedays, well mostly every day, Mom does not pay enough attention to me. Tonight I actually had to come all the way up on the couch and start pawing at her to get her even to notice me. I meowed and meowed, right pawed and left pawed, and she just wanted to take pictures of me instead of doing what I wanted, which was get more food. I am just not sure about these humans sometimes. They really are worthless for anything except food and a good cuddle.

PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!

Noel and Mini Cooper together without fighting.

They must have been waiting for a snack.

Those are not my claw marks on the ledge? That must be Mini Cooper’s, or even cats passed, like Nine or Muffin. I am a good girl and would never destroy the wood or the walls or the chairs or the carpet or anything.  Not me, no way!
