Awww Mondays

Join us every Monday for Awww…Mondays.

Post a picture that makes you say Awww…and that’s it.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Awww…Mondays post.

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

Our babies go where they want to go and sit where they want to. We let them. In the mornings they want all kinds of love and scritches and these are their favorite places to get that love.

    We ALL enjoy getting love when and where we want it – our babies taught us that!

    Hugs, Pam

    Of course they do. Cats rule and we are their servants.

      We are their servants. We’re good with that. Love and hugs, Jackie. 🙂

    When I had cats, I never stopped them from going where they wanted to go. They were going to do it when I wasn’t there anyway. The counter gives them a handy spot to get their morning love and scritches.

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

      We don’t stop them from being where they want to be. They join us for breakfast every morning. We enjoy it. Happy week, Ann. 🙂

    My GBGV Life says:

    One of mom’s favorite things about not having cats anymore is there is no one jumping on counters, dressers, etc. Everything on those places is safe now. After having one or more cats for like fifty years, it is a nice change but we totally understand letting them go where they want as you can’t train them like you can train dogs and if it doesn’t bother you, even better! They are lucky kitties.

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

      It doesn’t bother us and we’re happy about that. Many don’t care for it at all. They are our babies and we just let them do what they want. Scritches to the pups. 🙂

  5. Heidrun 🍁 says:

    Indeed, cats have a mind of their own… and we humans comply. We know this very well from our household, from our two cats.
    Thank you for sharing and for hosting. Have a wonderful week.

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

      It doesn’t bother us one bit that they are on our counters and such. It’s their home too. You have a wonderful week, too. 🙂

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

      They are cuties. All kitties are cute. Thank you on the look of our kitchen. We had it redone several years ago. We love it too. Happy week. 🙂

      Kitties go where they want and when you’re sleeping they will go on places you don’t know. We just agreed that no wasn’t a word to say to our kitties. 🙂

  9. sandracorbit – Writing has been a part of my life even when I didn't recognize it in high school as I took on writing challenges from friends and in English class. It wouldn't be until adulthood that I would take writing seriously, earning a publication in Chicken Soup for the Soul's book - Angel's All Around with my story "Your Daughter Is Alive. Since that publication, I have written a YA manuscript that I am currently editing and polishing for publication.
    sandracorbit says:

    They are watching out for you. Definitely two, awwww, cute kitties! This was my first time joining the blog hop and it took a bit to figure it out. In the process, I messed up and wound up adding my blog twice to the list. Now I’ll know for next time
    Thanks for the opportunity to join!

      Sandee says:

      I love your name Sandra. I have the same name. We love our kitties. They can go where they want to go. You did just fine with your link. I deleted one of them, so there is only one. Thank you for joining. You’re most welcome. Happy week. 🙂

    Works for me! Counters can be sanitized before cooking starts and towels can be washed. Let the kitties roam!

    I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great week. Please give those two loves some extra scritches from me.
