Snuggie Buns

I didn't take these pictures, but I wanted to put them up anyway. Amy got a Snuggie for Christmas - actually she got TWO Snuggies. I think the Snuggie is the best gift ever! It is warm, and soft, and has fun tunnels ("sleeves") to burrow in - what more could a kitty want?

Here are some pictures of me in my Snuggie:

 

 

 

I was nice and warm all bundled in my Snuggie, but the other Snuggie has not been unpacked from the box, so Ralphie didn't have one. I think he looked a little cold.

Stop bugging me

Ralph eats bugs sometimes. I think bugs are gross. Here he is hunting a bug in the sun room.

Stupid boys.

 

 

 

Profile Pictures

I took this picture awhile ago but never posted it. This is Amy, once again jumping into my pictures, and once again dragging Ralph with her. However, Amy is much more patient than Noe when it comes to having her picture taken, so hers sometimes come out pretty clear. Ralphie looks kind of blurry, but that is because he is very squirmy and trying to escape. Amy liked this one so much she even used it as a facebook photo for awhile.

Photos by Ralph

Amy decided that Ralph should get to wear my camera and take some pictures. The problem with this is Ralph does not particularly like wearing stuff. The minute the camera was on his collar, he fell on his side and just laid there trying to kick it off with his back feet. Needless to say, we did not get many good shots from him. These were more or less the only ones that are clear enough to post.

Amateur.

Ralph is not very good with variety.

Snake Eyes

OK, this is kind of a cheat post because I did not take these photos. But I've been too busy to blog because Ralph and I have been busy with our pet snake! His name is Joban (named by Amy and Noe after the hit comedy I Love You, Man).

Joban!

Noe found Joban in our backyard. He rescued him from the jaws of Big Head and Blackie (two kitties who hang out under our bushes - Ralph and I don't like them very much!) Noe thought it would be funny to bring Joban inside and surprise Amy when she got home from work, because Amy loves snakes in her house (read her blog to find out about our last pet snake).

Ralphie loves snakes.

We put Joban in a tupperware container with holes in the top and had fun pushing him aorund the kitchen. I got bored after awhile, but Ralph kept at it all night, until Amy finally told Noe that Joban had to sleep in the sun room. The next day, Noe let Joban go because he didn't think we could feed him.

I get distracted by the camera.

I hope Blackie and Big Head don't eat our pet! Here's a video of me and Ralph with Joban.

RePETitive

Why does everyone always try to stick Ralph in my pictures?! Doesn't he get in enough on his own?

Spring is in the air

Today it was so warm here in New London that Amy and Noe kept the door to the sun room open all day. The sun room is the perfect kitty room - it is all windows on three sides and has several tables to sit on while we look out. Amy and Noe also store all the cushions from the patio chairs in there when they aren't using them, so we have nice soft cushion piles to sit and sleep on as well. If Ralph and I go in the sun room during the right time of day, there are plenty of pools of direct sunlight to lay in and warm my belly.

Here are some pictures from my day in the sun room - I was in there all afternoon!

Here are all the patio chairs stacked up -
Amy will be glad when these go back outside!

Here is a view of the front-facing door from my cushion.

A look out one of the front windows -
this is our street.

Ralphie likes to look out the back door -
he is looking for squirrels and other kitties!

Coming and Going

The thing about the living room is people are always coming and going. I like to hang outi n the living room because it gets a lot of sun, but laying in the middle of the floor can be kind of hazardous when Amy and Noe are getting ready to go somewhere or do something. So sometimes I sit on the steps instead and watch the action:

Amy waiting for Amanda to pick her up
and Ralphie trying to find some sun.

That blur in the middle of the sunshine is Ralph.
He is not as worried about being stepped on.

Amanda's here! Time to leave.

Noe was leaving to run errands but first he had to get in my face again.

Family Photos

The problem with being an artist is everyone is always asking you what you're working on, especially when you are TRYING TO WORK!

Every time I have my camera on, Amy and Noe get in my face and try to get in the pictures. Sometimes I really just want to take pictures of the radiator cover and Ralphie (who never TRIES to be in my photos) but Amy and Noe just keep getting in my way. On the occasions I actually try to take a picture of them, they always lean in and ask some stupid question like "Is the camera on?" and my picture turns out all fuzzy. It can be very frustrating! Here are some examples:

I was scared Amy was going to poke me with her fork.

Noe is the worst at getting his picture taken - he can not stand still.

Finally! They followed my instructions and I got a good one...
although I prefer candid shots to posed.

Little Bro

Hands down (paws down?) my favorite thing to take pictures of is my brother, Ralphie. Ralph and I have never been separated. Even when we lived at the cat clinic, we lived in the same pen. When Noe and Amy picked us out, I was the biggest kitty in the whole litter and Ralph was tiniest. He used to curl up in a ball and I could curl up all the way around him!

Now Ralph is much bigger, but we still like to curl up together. Since I spend so much time with Ralphie, it's no wonder that he has shown up in some of my best photos:

Here is a blurry one - I was a little too close.

Ralphie likes to stretch in the morning.

This is the best picture I have taken yet!

Meet The Buns

Hello. My name is Sunny, but everyone calls me The Buns. Why Buns, you ask? Well, when I was a kitten, I was so soft that my dad (Noe) started calling me "Sunny Bunny", which eventually got shortened to "Bunny" and then my mom (Amy) started calling me "The Buns".

I was rescued as a small orphaned kitten and taken to the Ann Arbor Cat Clinic with my four brothers and sisters. Here we are shortly after our arrival - I am the orange and white one looking at the camera:


One of the girls at the clinic, Kristen, thought we were SO cute that she sent our picture to her sister, Amy, who sent it to her boyfriend, Noe...and within a week of the picture being sent, Noe came and got not only me, but my brother Ralphie (the tan kitten in the front of the basket). Now we live with Amy and Noe in Connecticut.

Even though she doesn't get to see us very often, Kristen still likes to get us fun stuff to play with. This year, she gave us a Pet's Eye View camera! Amy and Noe can put the camera on my collar and set it to take pictures at certain time intervals. I get to wear the camera because I am a good girl and ignore it, while Ralph tries to kick it, bite it, and just mess with it in general. Here is a picture of me wearing my camera:


Because I have already taken so many good pictures with my camera, Amy set me up a website to show off the best ones. We will update it whenever we get good photos.

Get ready to see the Buns-Eye view!

These are some photos from the first night I wore my camera, January 2, 2009.

This is the TV room window as seen from my favorite spot on Noe's lap.

My food bowl!

There will be new photos posted tomorrow!
