And the girls opened their present from Aunt Ninner.

Aunt Ninner sent the kitties their first Christmas card this year!

It really put them into the Christmas spirit! They even put on their pink Snuggie.

Black Kitty tried to be all high fashion about it.

Trudy didn't want to pose with it. You know how teenagers are!

Today, the kitties got a little Christmas spirit. It was completely hu-meow-liating.
Black Kitty gives the "Why? Why do you do this to me?" look like no other.

Sleepy wasn't happy about it but with enough praise she posed for a picture.

Trudy was very unhappy. This is all I could get.

The only way I could get Bea was catching her napping.

For lunch we had one of my favorites, beef vegetable soup and corn bread. Perfect for a cold day.

Ami has most of our Christmas decorations up now. She did such a good job on our tree that it looks beautiful even when it's not lit.

Trudy is still in wonder of it all and won't look at the camera.

Sleepy has been in front of the fire since lunch today. She was looking like Falcor from the Neverending Story in this one.

We ask her where Atreyu is all the time but she won't tell us.
Bea and Black Kitty took a nap over by the book case. Bea knew something was up though.

Here are just some random shots I took today. I started another test roll for the GSN to make sure my light seals are good so we'll see!

One of the first fall leaves. I didn't put it on the chair, it was just there.

This one is a bit early. I'm trying to get all of the girls in on black and white week. Here's Beatrice.
The picture is a bit dark, but I like it.

I took some pictures today, but they were all on film, so here's a shot from yesterday with a bit of editing.
I love the way that Beatrice looks in this shot. She's a troubled kitty that has OCD (seriously, it's a whole other blog post) and it's really sweet to see her with a moment's peace.

Today, there was a cardboard box placed in front of the back door with a sunbeam shining right on it. There was a battle for possession almost immediately.
Black Kitty had her turn unopposed at first.

But a challenger appeared. Trudy didn't really want it, she just wanted to play.

Sleepy spent a little time in the sun once things calmed down.

Then Beatrice got in there once everybody forgot about it.

There was an update for Hipstamatic so I got a couple of pictures of Bea to test it out.

Tonight Trudy was playing with the kitten in the mirror. It was precious.

I also took some pictures of Beatrice's stripes. They're so intricate and beautiful.

I also got some of Trudy's stripes. They are completely different. Kind of a fingerprint/swirl pattern with two racing stripes down the middle. I call them her "rally stripes".

I was looking for Beatrice and found her in one of her favorite hiding spots. This cat just loves to hide!

I mentioned Beatrice's milk ring stash today on Facebook so I thought I'd take a picture of it. It has had many more milk rings than this.

It's like she's going for an Olympics symbol there.
2/22/2010 The Story of Beatrice
Beatrice came into our lives on April 18th, 2006. She was part of a litter that one of our outside kitties, Not had. (I'll have to explain that name in another blog post) I planned to tame this litter and try to give them away to good homes. On that Tuesday something killed all of the kittens and the mama, Not, as far as I knew. Not showed back up about six months later. All that was left was a little baby that didn't look like the others. The others were all white with gray tips and stripes but this baby was white with gray tabby areas. She was a terrified little three week old kitten. I emailed Ami a picture of her and put her in a box with a sock I filled with rice and warmed up in the microwave.

We decided to name her a "people name" but didn't know what at first. We settled on Beatrice after Bea Arthur. She took to a litter box (I cut the back off of a cereal box and put a plastic liner in it) at three weeks old like it was something she'd been missing all of her life.
Black Kitty didn't like her at first. She would put her paw on top of Beatrice's head and hiss to let us know that she didn't like her but her mothering instincts kicked in and they became good friends with Black Kitty teaching her bad habits.
She grew up to be a beautiful cat with mental problems. She's still scarred by the early kittenhood trauma. She's odd about affection and only gives it when she wants to. She has places she deems safe and will be loving there. My office chair is one of those places. I think it's because that's one of the places that I fed her ba-bas (bottles).
She's terrified of thunderstorms and this morning when it was thundering she beat on the door and it sounded like a person beating on it. She was meowing the most mournful cry, like she was giving up on life. I let her out and she darted to the living room and hid under the red couch until it was over.
I took this of her today while she was sitting in the window, "watching outside".
