Cat Hug





Our real, live turtles—unlike the ones you saw on the t-shirt to get here—are not real fans of hugging, although turtles often climb on one another when sunning. Maybe that’s where Dr. Seuss got some of his inspiration for his turtle tower in his story, Yertle the Turtle!


Here our cats, Wally and Ollie, enjoy a hug—while taking a catnap.


Now, to celebrate National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day on January 22nd, tomorrow, SCROLL DOWN…

Happy National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day

Here, we think Ollie's question is: "What is this stuff?"


This was Ollie's first experience with snow.

Here, we think Wally's question is: "Why do I have to have my picture taken?"


Wally often meows while we take his picture, and we think he's not that crazy about being pursued by us people papparazzi.

Just like in their hugging picture above, Ollie and Wally grew up taking lots of naps together.


Here, we think Ollie's question is: "Is it already time to get up?"

Tomorrow on January 22nd!





Here, we think Wally's question is: "You didn't need this wastebasket, did you?"


Like probably most cats, Wally and Ollie simply love boxes of all kinds. Wally is not even a lap cat, but we turned him into one when we started putting a box in our lap! Now he waits at our feet for us to put a box in our laps so he can be a lap cat!

Happy National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day
Tomorrow on January 22nd!





Here, we think Ollie's question is: "If I sit in the turtle tank, can I try some turtle food?"


Unlike Wally, Ollie can sometimes be found inside the turtle tanks (like Gracie's tank here), perhaps pretending to be a turtle so he can eat some turtle food.


We found Ollie in Bart's tank recently, eating turtle food right alongside Bart! Wally also likes to steal Bart's mushrooms. And both cats would love to eat Spike's fish!

Here, we think Ollie's question is: "Are we done wrapping Christmas presents yet?"


Both cats are always on board to "help" wrap presents!

Here, you can watch and listen to Wally ask this question: "Do you think, if I'm very careful, I can catch those birds at the feeder in the window?"


We call our bird feeder "Audubon TV" for Ollie and Wally. Wally is always especially offended when the morning doves sit right on top of the feeder, apparently unafraid of him: How dare they!


Thanks as always for reading and for joining us in our double celebration of both National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day (tomorrow) and National Hugging Day today (and happy hugging)!
