Awww Mondays

Three cartoon kittens on a blue background, with the text 'Aww Mondays' displayed on the left.

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 loves to be on dads lap. She gets comfortable and then goes to sleep. Hubby won’t move until she gets up. She has both of us trained very well.

    Cats are EXCELLENT people-trainers. They achieve their goals with few complaints from their humans too – we like the snuggles!

    Hugs, Pam and Teddy

    There area lot of reasons why Mom no longer has cats but one is that she doesn’t sit still and cats always want to be on a lap and the human should stay put. Your kitties are lucky they have such a spot.

  8. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Awwww, what a cutie Lil’Bit is, and that’s the unwritten rule: mew can never disturb a sleeping cat! Thank mew for adding our links, Sandee; mew are just so epic, truly marvellous, and we can’t thank mew enough!!! Happy Monday! 😻✨😻✨😻

    Lucy will only get in my lap if I have a blanket and typically during football season. Then she will stay there for an hour or more. The rest of the time she is laying beside my wife in her chair or she finds her bed or the ottoman suitable napping spots. We are so easily trained by our pets.

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

      She was feral when we first saw her in our back yard. You couldn’t get anywhere near her. She’s come a very long way. Love and hugs, Cathy. 🙂

    Lil Bit, you are precious. This looks just like our mom’s lap right now. Kizmet is napping there. Mom is the same. Won’t get up until we do. Our dad is not as obliging, but we don’t mind.

    How precious! I used to carry around a little bag with ‘essentials’ whenever I changed where I sat because Luna was bound to join me. I miss that kitty. ~sigh~ Be well!
