It was HOT today! 32c (that's 90f). Kozmo and me - Marvelous Marv love the weather and we have been spending most of the time during the day outside! BUT it is cooling off -- tomorrow, we are expecting some rain. Mom says that would be nice If I showed you where we spend that time!
This is our deck! As you can see the river has gone down.
We have a cat tree on the deck. The first thing I do when I go outside is jump up to the top and I watch out for Ella! Ella is a huge dog and she does not like cats...if she comes towards our house I run back inside. If she is not, I like to sleep up here.
Mom, it is nap time. You are excused! Now we are celebrating posting by being part of Feline Friday! Please click the button to be taken to Feline Friday! Tell Mimi that Marvelous sent you!
The Friendly Fill-Ins
The Friendly Fill-ins are written by 15 and Meowing (the first 2) and the second two are written byFour-Legged Fur Balls! We hope you enjoyed learning about Me Marvelous Marvas much as we love learning about you dear furrends.
1. I would (and do) dance for CATNIP. 2. The last visit to the vet I attended was when I left Iran. (Our vet visits our house to see me when she goes to see the cows at the farm down the road). 3. I can’t relax until I know where Ella is. 4. I knew I needed a bath when I jumped to the cup at the top if the tree.
When Mom started to feel better, we worked on the new header for March and Mom asked me what us guys would do if we had thumbs! As Today (March 3) is If Pets had Thumbs Day here is my post.
Furrst I asked Cinnamon what she would do if she had thumbs.
Cinnamon
says, she could throw her own Frisbee! She also asked
if we could use a photo from last summer. Even she is tired of the snow
and cold.
Now on to my list!
1. Give High Fives! I think this is the best way to celebrate any accomplishment! I finished my breakfast - A High 5! I found that missing spring under the fridge - A High 5! If I want more treats, I give Mom a High 5!
2. Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down! I could say, "Hey Mom, those jean make your butt look big, I give you a Thumbs Down!" But then I'd probably have to use my thumbs up to hitchhike to Vancouver to live with my Aunt.
3. Texting and Commenting! I could text Mom when I'm
running low on Temptations. Or I could comment on my furrends blogs!
Now I would like to know what YOU would do if YOU had thumbs!

We got snow and cold weather at the beginning of November (we have gone through 3 months of winter) six more weeks means 1/3 of the year not being able to enjoy the great outdoors. Other than the snoring, Mike was a terrific guest!
Here he is with Kozmo looking for the purrfect place to stand for his prognostication.
Here he is with Cinnie. They bonded when Mike was snacking on Cinnamon's Crunchies.

1. I enjoy making salads out of the vegetables your Mom grows in her garden.That's why I built my burrow behind your house. 2. I can’t stop watching all the other groundhogs emerging from their burrows on Ground Hog Day on TV. Did you see Punxsutawney Phil today? Do you know he's only correct 36% of the time? 3. I need to figure out a new burrow before Groundhog Day next year! I'm going to have a heck of a time getting back to sleep! 4. I may not sing, but I do know how to dance!
ROCK on Mike!

This week we are getting Mom to do the friendly fill-ins.
1. BIRTHDAYS make me feel old.
2. Dancing to the oldies while cleaning the house makes me feel young.
3. Recently, being a computer Geek came in very handy.
4. I think that the new snow plow guy in the village is the most useless one we have ever had.
Thank goodness that since Christmas we have had more seasonable weather. I was getting tired of having to shovel half the road to get the car out of the driveway. But I gotta say, snow shovelling is a terrific cardio exercise!

AND
Today is the Lunar New Year's Eve!
When Mom and me lived in Vancouver it was a really big event. Richmond (a city that makes up part of Vancouver) is more than 80% Asian and South Asian. Seeing all the celebrations, Lion and Dragon Dancers, the parades and the wonderful cuisine was a unique experience. Mom misses it. Many of the people she worked with participated in the events and several of them were Lion and Dragon Dancers. Below is a video of the Lion Dancers getting ready for the excitement.
One of the exciting things about this New Year is that last year
was full of the fierceness of the TIGER! Our Peeps were all freed from
the pandemic cages. And lots of things happened all over the world. This
new lunar year we will be tamer -- it is the year of the rabbit (and in
some countries the cat). Rabbits, in the Chinese Zodiac are known
for their sense of calm and peacefulness. That means this year will be
profoundly different as tigers and rabbits represent opposite
energies. The Tiger embodies Yang energy and the Rabbit, Yin.
Yang
energy is associated with fast-paced movement and action—which explains
why the Year of the Tiger was “unpredictable, and sometimes even
aggressive and chaotic,”
Yin energy is more laid back, which means
we can expect the Year of the Rabbit to be well-suited for reflection,
rest, and renewal. That does not mean it will be boring though. It means
we have a chance to step back, think about and realize our goals.
RABBITS
are the luckiest of the 12 zodiac animals and Rabbit years are supposed
to bring Hope and Prosperity.
All us cats are really looking forward to Mom making Chinese Food tomorrow!
Are you doing anything special for Chinese New Year?

Mom's iPhone can take Live Photos. It takes a "mini" video. Mom usually has it turned off as we usually have photos for the blog. One of the cool things you can do is make a gif!
