Up nostril view

He awakens

Sweet

Rest

The weather turned cold again, so Smokey opted to stay in and and nap. 

I want to go out

Smokey senses the weather getting warmer so he demands to go out. 

Just so you know, Smokey. The forecast says snow is possible next week. Sigh.

Sick

Smokey hacked out three hairballs in one go. He didn't feel well after that. 

He slept on his foot

From leaner days

This is a photo of Smokey when he was still living with the family before us. He was probably 2 pounds lighter. Here's hoping that his new diet will drop some weight. 

Smokey talks to birds

The birds are coming out again and Smokey has taken to the window to watch them in frustration. He has the cutest little chirp.

"Damn the birds are too far away."

"Hey, bird, why don't you come closer?"

He took my warm spot again

"I like warm spots."

Covered

Stretched out

Smokey the lap cat

Yes. We have no idea what possessed him that day. Smokey just jumped into his lap. Then he stretched himself onto a shoulder before settling in. I don't know how long he'd been there before I arrived on the scene. Although the other one was enjoying every moment of Smokey's surprise display of affection, he had just sat down to eat his dinner (yes, we eat on the couch at the coffee table). A large mass in your lap kind of makes it difficult to reach over to your dinner.
