What better way to start the week than with a smile.

Lil’ Bit brings us gifts during the day and even more at night. You can find 10+ mice in our room and outside our door each morning. She’s so precious.

    How sweet of Lil’Bit to bring you gifts!

      We tell her each morning how much we appreciate the gifts. She’s a keeper. 🙂

    I think that’s just plain SWEET……bearing gifts……which is the spirit of Christmas too! AND just showing thanks for all we do for our beloved pet families – they appreciate it don’t they (sometimes we wonder if they notice but they do!!).

    Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam

      They do notice and so do we. We’re all lucky here. Hugs to mom and lots of scritches to Teddy. 🙂

      They aren’t real, but they do look like the real thing. Lil’ Bit plays with them often. Happy week, Duke. 🙂

  4. Ann Thompson says:

    Aw, isn’t that sweet. Thankfully those are toy mice and not the real thing. My daughters cat has brough her mice and on more than one occasion she has gotten out of bed and stepped on one.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We’re happy about that. Happy day off, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. 🙂

    As long as they are not real mice, LOL! On the other paw, if you have real mice ever, they won’t be around for long.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      They aren’t. We buy them springs and mice and Squeaker loves the springs and Lil’ Bit loves the mice. Works out well. 🙂

    So cute when they bring gifts. Ours would do that, and even a real one once in awhile. The outside cats did too, which was nice, but I really didn’t like their kills. haha
    Hey, it’s Monday again! Wishing you a great week! <3

    We lived in an apartment complex while I was going to college. One of the neighbor cats would go into the fields across the road and bring home presents every night. Several times we would be the lucky recipients. Funny how cats show their affection.

      It’s funny the ways they show their affection. Happy Awww Monday and week, my friend. 🙂

    A retrieving kitty? If that isn’t awww worthy, I don’t know what is. Too precious.

      Our kitties are very smart. We love to keep them as busy and active as we can. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to the pups. 🙂

    Gosh, lil’ Bit is quite the stormy chick. I love her ‘love offerings” but poor mice. lol!

    Paw kisses sweet one.
    Hugs dearest. xoxox

      They are toys so it’s all good. We don’t have real mice here and we’re happy about that. Hugs and love, Natasha. 🙂

        Ha! ha! Gosh they looked so real, yet cuddle. Lol! Lil’ Bit is a doll. Hows the other pawsome baby?

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      She’s a jewel. We love her so. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂

    She sure IS precious! It’s a good thing she doesn’t bring you REAL mice. Our cats used to bring us presents from outside, if you know what I mean.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      She had a rough beginning, but she’s living large now. Happy week, Patrick. 🙂

    Darla M Sands says:

    That is adorable. 🙂 It’s funny how kitties change their habits. Terra used to actually play fetch with her toy mice. I miss that, as well as her faded interest in her favorite wand toy. It seems she and Polly remain more interested in Dandelion even after a year and a half. But that girl still likes her wand toy, a fish on a stretchy string. We’ll probably play later this afternoon. Hugs, my dear.

      Sandee says:

      We play fetch with Squeaker all the time. She lets us know when she wants to play. 🙂
