Kira and her nemesis

 I finally had my camera out again to take pictures of the hamsters, and Kira was awake so she became one of my subjects.  She's so pretty and fluffy!  She was hanging out by the patio door because the chipmunks were running around providing lots of entertainment for her.  They seem to taunt her.  Truthfully, they taunt me too when I see them climbing to the bird feeder over and over again, despite my attempts to scare them off.  They are such cute little stinkers!

I caught this one in the act.  😒😅

Cats!

I got the camera out for the hamsters, and decided to see what I could get of these two.  Neither of them seemed too interested in posing more for me.  Haha!

Kira

 Kira was being super cute while I had my camera out to photograph the hamsters so of course I got some pictures of her too.  She's so rotund, voluptuous, and fluffy.  I love her so much.  She's great at keeping me company during the day as I'm working while Arien sleeps.  ❤

Flowers

 I've been working on cleaning up my folders of pictures from last year and came across these pictures of flowers that I forgot to edit.  With how cold and dead everything is right now, these bright colors fill me with excitement for spring to get here soon so I can get back to gardening.  I'm especially proud of these flowers because it was my first time growing flowers from seeds.  💛

Kira Playing

 Kira is absolutely obsessed with the little puff balls you can buy for crafts or whatever.  We had a small pink one that came in a pack of cat toys that she utterly adored.  She would get so crazy playing with it that we worried she'd lose it.  So we decided we wanted to buy her more.  Joe found a pack of 50 on Amazon that had all the colors of the rainbow, including pink.  They aren't exactly the same as her original favorite pink one, but she loves them all.  They mostly stay in our basement and every few weeks, I get a yard stick and get them all out from under the couches where they've collected out of her reach.  Kira gets so excited to have them all available again.  She goes crazy downstairs and brings many of them upstairs.  Every couple of days I gather the ones I see upstairs and throw them back down the stairs.  Eventually they all seem to disappear again and the cycle repeats with me clearing them all out from under the couches.  

We did lose the OG pink one for over a year.  This past summer, I was determined to find it, so over a few weeks, I searched the house.  I had kinda given up when I ended up cleaning under the shelves that the hamster cages sit on and found it!  She was thrilled to have her OG pink ball again.

Sunbathers

 I'm grateful for the sun, especially on these cold days.  I had to capture my beautiful cats who were also enjoying the sun.  I love how Kira practically glows.  😁

Cat Hoodie

I ordered a hoodie for Arien to wear since we noticed how calm and chill she was when wearing the donut.  I struggled to know what size to get and I ultimately choose to get a small after taking her measurements.  I was able to get it on her, but it was definitely quite small...  😂 

I ordered a medium from the same company, and it seems pretty perfect!  She doesn't walk normally in it, but she doesn't hate it.  She gets so loving and wanting so much attention whenever she wears it.  I'm glad I have this on hand now to put on her whenever I need her to chill out if she's got a really bad attitude or calm down if she's feeling scared of something like the rain.
