Gord: “Hey, Lou—I didn’t see you there!
Can we share this chair?”
“Never mind!
I’ll take the other one so I can stretch out.

Happy Whisker Wednesday,
Everyone!”

Vivian’s View From Here: Weekend Blizzard*
When I came across this post of mine from EXACTLY ten years ago to the day, I couldn’t resist a reblog. I know many of you are sick of winter about now, but I thought Vivian and Maisie might brighten your day a little. And there’s another reason. We still miss these two so much, it brightens our day as well.
Hey, everyone, I’m back!! 
Vivian K. Perry here, to tell you all about the
snowstorm forecast for most of the island of Newfoundland tonight and tomorrow.
We’re well acquainted with winter storms in this neck of the woods, but I think we are in for a mother of a blizzard this time, with 30 to 50 centimeters and high winds promised for central, and for us, before it’s all over!
Here are Maisie and I, first this morning, and second, how we will weather the storm:
Besides all of this, there is still work to be done. Please watch this little video clip below of me in Paul’s office. He puts me in a bed on top of his printer when I get lonely for his company. Be sure to turn up your volume so you can hear me purr.
Stay warm and see you all next time after we dig out!

Sunday Snaps: Our House*
“Our house is a very, very, very
fine house … “
… With two cats in the yard …
… Life used to be so hard … now everything is easy ’cause of you.” 💕
💙🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾💙
I know, I know. Lou and Gord don’t go out in the yard. They are indoor cats. However, we are considering buying leashes and harnesses to take them outside when summer comes. We’ll see!

September Revisited: Gotcha Day
Happy October, Friends and Followers!
It’s been a busy few weeks for me lately, but I didn’t want the date of September 27 to go unnoticed here on my blog, as it marked the first anniversary of our adoption of Louie and Gordie.
In some ways, their Gotcha Day seems like only yesterday. But then I think of how much these two little darlings have flourished in the space of a year. Remembering how Gordie was so skittish and food insecure, and how at first he didn’t know how to use the little flap door to his litter box, it seems like eons ago.
And then there was Louie’s behaviour when we first brought him home, hiding under my treadmill or the spare bed until he felt more comfortable with us.
Nowadays, they are both well adapted to life here with us on Perry’s Point. And we can’t imagine a single day or night without them!
They are still young cats at ages two and four, so we look forward to many more years—and anniversaries—together.

Lou and Gordie’s favourite seat? Any window ledge in our house! And by the way, we don’t have another cat in the microwave. 😉😻

A Purry Point of View Part 3: Happy International Cat Day!
Hey there, friends and felines! Lou and Gordon Purry here, delighted to be back on WordPress to spend a part of International Cat Day with you all.
To commemorate the occasion, Jennifer asked us to share some of her favourite cat quotes on her blog today, as well as some of her much-loved photos of us.
So here goes!
“One cat just leads to another.” – Ernest Hemingway
“I have lived with several Zen masters—all of them cats.” –Eckhart Tolle
“Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of spirit.” – Lloyd Alexander
“I’m not spoiled, my human is just well trained.” – Unknown
“Cats: the original supermodels.” – Unknown
“There’s no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat.” – Wesley Bates
“Heaven will never be Paradise unless my cats are there waiting for me.” – Unknown

A Purry Point of View Part 2: Louie
Hi Folks and Felines! Louie here, finally getting my turn to guest blog on Jennifer’s Journal.
Gordie really let me have it on his guest post last time, didn’t he? Well, guess what? I’m here to spill the tea on him! You see, my new brother for the last six months is not as innocent as he would have you believe.
It all happened last fall on Thanksgiving Sunday. After Jennifer and Paul had their meal of roast turkey with all the trimmings, they were about to relax in the living room and leave the turkey, covered in foil, on the counter to finish cooling before putting it in the refrigerator.
But knowing how hungry Gordie seemed to act all the time, Paul suggested putting it back in the oven with the door just ajar.
Lo and behold, when Jennifer came out to get a drink, what did she see? My brother Gordie SITTING ON THE OVEN DOOR, FACE INTO THE TURKEY! He had torn the foil neatly away and had taken a perfect circle of bites out of the drumstick. He looked at her as if to say “Nothing to see here!” All Jennifer could do was laugh.
You see, as was explained to me, Gordon had a somewhat severe case of what is known as food insecurity. Because he had been a runaway stray for a long period of time before his adoption, he was overly anxious about when he would get his next meal. He isn’t as bad as that anymore, thank goodness. The worst he’s done since is grab a pack of deli ham off the counter where it was defrosting. Jennifer found his unsuccessful attempt to open it on the floor with a few tooth marks in it.
I’ve grown to love my silly sibling, even though he does weird things sometimes—just like me.
Oh, I almost forgot: look what Jennifer’s daughter included with her and Paul’s Christmas presents:
Aren’t we cute? These socks were made specially by soxos.ca, a proudly Canadian company. 🇨🇦
Thanks, Jennifer, for letting me share my two cents on your blog. Purrs and nose bumps to all, love Louie. 🐾
