A blog by two cats who used to live in the same house in Northern Virginia. Unfortunately, they are both no longer with us.
Mom went away for Thanksgiving, and while she was gone, the weather turned sharply colder and most of our trees finally lost their leaves.
Just look at my side yard! You can hardy see the grass underneath all those maple leaves. Somebody's got a lot of work ahead.

Jake: I was a nearly 15 year old tabby who commanded and demanded attention. I used to love to hang around on my deck outside. I developed cancer and died February 5, 2009. I didn't like my sister because she was cranky. Bathsheba: I was a polydactyl 18 year old dilute tortie and white. I used to be a big hunter in my day, but I retired when I went deaf. I developed a rapidly spreading cancer that affected my appetite and I died in the garden in November 2009. I loved my mom the best. Jake was a constant annoyance, but I missed him when he was gone. For a short while I contended with that bothersome kitten Emerson who is now my legacy to the cat blogosphere.

You are really the mancat hehehhe~!!!!!
Enjoy the first winter wind blows~! I think that is comfy in someway~!!
Yes, that is the manly thing to do...watch football and let the woman do all the work. Of course, the fact we have no opposable thumbs is also a good excuse.
Wow, look at all those leaves! It looks like you are having fun in them, Jake.
HooBoy, just like a guy!
feetsball or werk... um you picked the right one Jake
Those are great pictures...makes you almost look invisible!
Isn't it your job to make a mess of those leaves just when she gets them all raked up?
Oh that looks like a lot of fun to play in those leaves! We like to watch them blow around the yard but we are not alowed out to play in them. So jealous.
So are you having a cold one with that football game? Hog the couch? Such a mancat!

Oh my!! That is a load of leaves! The Tall Man blew and raked our leaves yesterday. The LL helped him take them to the curb but apparently didn't thank him enough for his hard work...sheesh, men. I hope your mom took some breaks from all of those leaves!
Kaze
That sure is a lot of leaves! Jake, you look good posing amongst the pretty-colored leaves.
That's a lot of leaves - it was almost hard to see you. Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
Ha ha ha Jake!
You look very handsome against those leaves. Great mancat poses!
That looks like a blast to run through!
Our Big Thing "mows" all the leafs. It seems to work real gud.
Those leaves look like they would be very fun to play in.

Yep, you're a true mancat, Jake. Uh ... but with no opposable thumbs, how do you operate the remote control? Let me know, buddy, because I have a terrible time with those buttons!
Rocky
A leaf carpet!
Wow Jake, your yard looks like ours. All the leafs came down this weekend and Dad is moaning about spending all weekend raking and bagging. A nap sounds much better than all that work!
At first glance I didn't even see you in the leaves. You nicely blend into the leaves.
