kitties of christmas

My sister's family has acquired some outdoor kitties. They were very friendly and adorable, so we made sure to pet them every time we went in and out of the house (which was often because we stayed in the guest house, which is separate from the main house - so fancy!).

Andy couldn't help Mike while he was building the treehouse, so he sat on the porch and watched.  I got him some blankets out of our car to keep him warm, and the kitties saw a great opportunity:

The one Andy is holding is called Tigey (or Tiggy?) because it's stripey.  Then the black one Andy was petting is Yowly because he is a meower!  Although I'm still not sure he meows as much as Chuckles.

Well after Andy was done sitting out there, he folded the blankets and left them on the bench because he was still on crutches at that point and didn't want to take them down the stairs to the car.  That was getting NO protest from the outdoor kitties!

Mom even brought one inside, which is against the rules!  She never set it down but she brought it in next to the wood stove and petted it - we know we spoiled those kitties!
