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.

Lil’ Bit didn’t play for months and months. She was so feral and didn’t know how to be a fun kitty until Squeaker came along. She taught Lil’ Bit how to play, how to chase each other around the house and how to be a love bug. We’re so happy she has a wonderful sister.

    I love it when the ‘seasoned’ pet shows the newbie the ropes. Too cute. Happy Monday, dear Sandee.

      Squeaker is about one year younger than Lil’ Bit. Lil’ Bit had a rough first year. 🙂

      She plays all the time now. Sometimes by herself and other times with her sister. 🙂

      They loved each other right off the bat. I think they both knew that they needed each other. Love and hugs, Sweet Dany. 🙂

    onespoiledcat says:

    Teddy had no idea what playing was when he came to live with us – he’d been a feral boy for 9 months – he “found” Angel Sammy’s toys and toy box and his curiosity got the best of him….he brought me a toy one day and I threw it for him and he brought it back. YAY! Smart guy.

    Hugs, Pam

      Then you know how this works. It was such fun when she figured out how to play. Happy Awww Monday and week, Pam. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to handsome Teddy. 🙂

    Ohh, thank you, Sansee for the beautiful video clip of Lil’ Bit playfully enjoying her life as a cat. Wonderful! Thank you, Sandee, for sharing your kitties and their journeys in your loving home. Happy Awww Monday. Peace and hugs to you.

      This video makes hubby and I so very happy. She didn’t do much at all when we first got her. Love and hugs, my wonderful friend. 🙂

    Zoolatry says:

    Think we read (somewhere) this morning … “there was a mouse in the house … until there wasn’t”. Well, at least in this case, until Lil’ Bit found it … and did her thing, go girl!

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

      Our kitties bring us toys in the night and we pick them up each morning and put them back in the toy box. 🙂

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

      It sure is. Squeaker is such a playful kitty and Lil’ Bit just caught the fever. 🙂

    Oh how I enjoyed watching this. Katie is 18 and will be 19 in a month or so, And when she does this, same as your baby, it makes me so happy to see!!! I enjoyed seeing Lil Bit doing the same!

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

      I know how happy it makes you. Even more than it makes me happy when Lil’ Bit and Squeaker play. 🙂

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

      I agree with you. We’re happy we have two kitties instead of one. They needed each other. 🙂

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

      I don’t think Squeaker was feral at all. She just needed us. Lil’ Bit was so sad. She’s a happy kitty mow. 🙂

  11. Cecilia Upchurch says:

    Lil’Bit sisters are da best and OMCs you surely are lucky to have one who was a good and patient teacher too.
    May I ask what is the ‘thingie’ plugged into the receptacle on the right side of the video?

      Carbon Monoxide Detector is what you’re seeing plugged into the outlet. When we had work done on the inside of our home the inspector told us to buy one for the upstairs and the downstairs. Hugs, my friend. 🙂

    Our pets are so entertaining. Lucy will play with one of her toys, all by herself. She also has a game where she takes a ball and rolls it under the couch or bookcase and expects us to retrieve it. As soon as we return her toy, she takes it to another part of the room and rolls it under something else. Yes, they have us trained.

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

      Our kitties do that very same thing. Bless their hearts. Happy day and week, my friend. Scritches to Miss Lucy. 🙂

    We are completely in love with your darlings and playing has come so naturally now to your very secure and satisfied kitty, so loved that she feels at home and relaxed enough to play! Lovely.

    Awww, what a delight to see her having fun. Ms. G has tried to give toys to some of the outdoor feral cats, they simply don’t know what to do with them. Lil’ Bit is blessed, and so are you and all of us because you share her with us.

    I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great week. Give those two fur siblings some scritches from me, please.

      She didn’t know what to do with them for a very long time. So good to see her play. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      She plays every single day and they chase each other around their home. Warms our hearts. 🙂
