Where there are toys…
…Josie-Pye is nearby!
This is what happens when the catnip hits, Folks!
Every night, before bed, we have to gather up the toys she has left for us and throw them down the front staircase.
During the day, she stalks her prey, captures and kills them, and then leaves them on our bed. lol
Cesare is still looking for his favorite little fishy toy. We did find it underneath a sofa, but it has disappeared again. He suspects Josie-Pye is behind the fish-napping plot and he swears he will get to the bottom of this can of tuna!
In other news, this was the view outside the other day. It was 12°F,/-11°C, but if you add the windchill, it felt like 0°F. It has snowed since this photo was taken, and we’re expecting a mixture of rain and snow today.
Well, I’m off now to play with Josie-Pye, scratch Cesare’s chinny-chin-chin and have some hot chocolate. I hope you’re all having a terrific day!
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

It is funny to watch animals at play. It can be a reminder of what we would be like without the stresses of the world on us. Happy Wednesday Kymber. Allan
Thank you, Allan! You are so right about that! Happy Wednesday!
Cats in my life have been the yin to my yang…..my comfort “blanket”…..my happy place. My cat Teddy is a 25-lb. bundle of inspiration and the reason I blog. Period. Love your website….so much to see and do.
Pam
Wow, Teddy sounds great! My sister had a huge cat named, “Little Bit” because he was the runt of the litter. lol
Thank you so much. I hope you have fun here. 😀
Cats are such fun and so loving.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. 🙂 I couldn’t agree more. 🙂 You have a great day and week, too. xo
So cute. Cats are such characters. And I hope that cold weather is behind you, Kymber. Though it is beautiful to look at. 🙂
Thank you, Diana. It is sure cold here, and we’ll probably be snowy and frigid until April. After a while, the gray skies wear on you, but I can still find beauty in it all.
Brr. A nice thing about the Oregon rainforest is that it doesn’t get that cold, but goodness the rain and gloom does wear on me. 🙂
I can see how that would be. I haven’t been to Oregon in years, but I remember feeling like I’d stepped into the Garden of Eden. It was just so lush, green, and beautiful. I do remember the rain! LOL 😀
What a beautiful view, Kymber, and we have to watch for our dog’s toys too. It’s amazing that we’ve never tripped in the 11 years he’s been with us. 🙂 xo
LOL I know what you mean, Lauren. 😀
Thank you. We love living here. 🙂
❤️❤️
I love the view outside your window, Kymber. When we get up in the mornings, we have to be careful where we step because kitty toys are everywhere. 😽
Thank you, Eugi. LOL You know what I’m talking about, for sure! 😀
You are welcome, Kymber.
That’s a beautiful window, and a peaceful beautiful view from it. ✨
Thank you so much, Ana. 🙂
My granddaughters have fun throwing toys for their kittens to catch. Pets are lovely. It looks very cold outside of your window, Kymber.
Thank you, Miriam. That does sound like fun! It’s freezing here. LOL 😀
Oh no, not the Catnip Caper! 😺😹😸 So Cesare leaves all of those darling little trophies on your bed eh? Girl, you and your feline follies! 😼🙀😽 Oh and just stay inside and leave the wind chill factor outside where it belongs! Girlfriend, I got the chills just looking at that photo! 🥶🧊😱 Hugs and smooches ChickiePie! 🥰
You said “Feline Follies!!” LOL I freaking love that! haha 😀 Girl, these kitties are crazy!
I’m thinking about looking through some Caribbean pics I took a few years ago. That should warm me up. Maybe I’ll even post them at some point. 😀
Stay fantabulous!!
Awwww Kymber my dear, it is never a dull moment in your household! LOL 😂😝🤣 Put on your long johns, pick up a good book and get near the fireplace. The Caribbean pics are a great motivator!!! 😍🌴🥂 I will stay as FANtabulous as I can, and I expect you to do the same! 👍🏼 Hugs and smooches!
I know that’s right! This is a fun house. 😀 Now that sounds like a good time. lolol
🥰😜😍 Yesssssssss!
A fun post, Kymber. The endless toy game. “Another fine kettle of fish you’ve gotten us into Stanley.”
Haha I love that, John. 😀 Laurel and Hardy were gold.
My favorites. Thanks 😁
Were they the ones who did “Who’s on First?” That is so hysterically funny. I remember when my son was a teen and showing him a clip of that on Youtube and he just thought it was the greatest thing ever. lol
That was Abbott and Costello. Also very funny guys.
Ooooh, yes, that’s right. Love them, too. 😀
Yup.
I love that she “kills” her prey then leaves them on your bed, lol. I regularly have to get Bond’s toys out from under the couches and chairs. He gets so excited – like it’s Christmas morning.
I love that, Teri! Bond sounds like an absolute joy! 😀 They manage to lose their toys in the funniest places sometimes.
That’s just too cold, Kymber. The perfect day for playing with kitties. Mine like to carry their toys around too. Velma is beginning to bring one to me now and then. Daphne loves hiding them, stuffing them under doors or under the piano or refrigerator… It’s the devil to get them back out. LOL. Hugs.
LOL It’s definitely cold here. I’m happy to stay indoors on days like these. 😀 Then there’s my son who is known to wear shorts all year round. 😀 That’s not unusual, though, for where we live.
I love the name Velma! That is so dang cute! And Daphne, too! You definitely need a Scoob, Shaggy, and Fred! 😀 😀 😀
I know what you mean about fishing toys out from under the fridge and all kinds of tight places. hahaha
Sending you hugs! xo
Their first year adoption anniversary is the week of Valentine’s Day. When I knew the (then 6 month old kittens) were on the way, I did a blog post asking people to offer up names of detective duos. (I had thought of Jeeves & Wooster [though not detectives], but it turned out their personalities were both Woosters and no Jeeves!] There were some great suggestions. So when the kitties arrived, I had several ideas to see what might suit them. Chris Graham, the Story Reading Ape had the names that fit — Daphne and Velma, as in Scooby Doo. The thought had crossed my mind during one night, but it didn’t stick in my memory until Chris suggested it. Cheers.
What a great idea to ask your readers what they should be named! I love that! And I laughed when you said they were both Wooster, no Jeeves. haha
That was a brilliant idea Chris had. I really enjoy his site.
The Mister likes naming our cats using people names. We’ve had a Lucy, Lisa, Cassie, and now we have Josie-Pye. He calls her Jo-Jo. lol Our boy is named Cesare just because. We actually mostly call him Buddy or Chezzy. Well, he answers to Babyboy, too.
Growing up, I had a cat named Q-Tip, and goldfish: Beatrice Minerva and Elwood P. lol My dad named all of those.
Terrific names all. 🙂
Pets are such a wonderful distraction. It looks darn cold there!
They sure are, Jacqui. 😀 It’s definitely cold. We get a lot of lake effect weather from the Great Lakes.
Aw, Josie Pye is so cute!!
And your window is awesome. Where do you live that it’s so cold? We’re going up to 50 today here in New Jersey, but it’s rainy and gloomy. Not my favorite weather. I’d rather have colder with sun.
Thank you regarding the window. We live in Michigan, north of Detroit. We get a lot of lake effect weather from the Great Lakes.
Oh nice! I’ve been to Detroit, and stayed in Deerborn, which is very nice. But it was summer and very hot.
Yes, also because of all the water we have, it gets very humid and hot in the summer. I actually live in a little village, which is so ideal for the Mister and me. 🙂
Our Vader is just like your cat. His balls and toys are everywhere and he brings them in our bed. I found a pillow cover on Amazon “It’s the dog’s bed, we just sleep in it” and I am tempted to buy it and put in our bed. 🙂
I love the shot through your glass window. The red diamond in the middle makes it colorful and interesting. Great view.
LOL I know I would love Vader. Love the name, too. 😀 Isn’t that funny to find the little gifts in your bed? We think it’s so humorous.
That’s funny about the pillow cover on Amazon. hahaha
Thank you regarding the stained glass window. It’s one of my favorite features of our old Italianate.
You would love him, he is a heartbreaker. He is a happy 75 lbs forever puppy and he deserves it
Awwww so sweet. I love hearing about him.
I have many cats. They have a door for house ingress and egress 24/7. On days and nights like we’ve had so far this month in which there is snow and wind and low temperatures, the cats stay inside instead of expending their kitty energy outside doing kitty activities that make them want to sleep at night. To keep the kitty peace, I put washcloths (dry) and soft toys around the kitchen that have catnip on/in them. Works like a charm. 😉
That is so cool, Kaye! I love hearing about your cats. When I was a girl, my mom would put catnip in a handkerchief and close it with a rubber band. Our cat, Q-Tip, went nuts over that. LOL
Every time my cats get catnip, they go crazy!
LOL Isn’t that funny? The boy, Cesare, doesn’t give two hoots about catnip, but Josie-Pye goes nuts. 😀
