Toe Hawks and Kitty Cankles

Sorry the post is a little later than usual this morning. I celebrated a birthday yesterday, and the day started early and ended late. It was a really wonderful day, but it was exhausting!  The cats were kind enough to not wake me for their breakfast this morning-- it must have been their birthday present to me. Thanks you for giving me the gift of extra sleep, girls! Much appreciated!!!

Today will be a busy one! I've got lots to do to prep for our appearance at Internet Cat Video Fest that's happening tonight at the Grand Cinema. Wylla needs a good brushing and a nail trim, and  I need to get all of her accoutrements together --- she doesn't travel light!  There's lots of IBKC merch to gather and pack, a dress to iron and a car to load!

It sounds like a lot of you will be there tonight and I am SO looking forward to seeing you!!  If you're coming, please don't forget your pet food donations!! And for those who won't be able to join us -- we'll try our best to get lots of photos!

So, we were out on the deck and I snapped this picture of Wylla's adorable cankles.

The last time I posted about her canckles, a few of you did not know what  the term "cankle" meant, so I got googled the definition to share today.

can·kle ˈkaNGkəl/ noun informal
plural noun: cankles

An unusually thick or stout ankle.
A blend of calf and ankle .

Hee heeeee ! A STOUT ankle!  

OH, and then we've got a picture of Charlene's glorious toe hawks.

And a few pictures of two very happy cats soaking in the spring weather.

    2. From prior posts, face to Charlene's belly might be less than pleasant for the snorgler.

      Seems like her belly floof considered a no-touch zone. Bummer.
