Snuggle-Bug

The kids all love to snuggle with Rusty and he loves every minute of it!

Snow Man

Not to be out-done by his step-sisters, my son built a snowman to go with their snowlady. One of the girls took Rusty out to meet him...

It's Rusty!

You would think he was a rock star if you could see how the kids react when they see him! He's definitely their favorite...& he just loves them right back. Unconditionally. That's the best thing about pets!

Rusty

Apparently he was finished with chasing the birds off the feeders...

Awww...come ON!!

After a long day spent cooped up in the house, Izzy, the Westie, was excited to play with Rusty, the cat! I'm not so sure that Rusty was as excited as she was...but on the other hand, Rusty doesn't ever seem to get excited anyway...

"Lemme in...it's cold out here!"

Rusty was looking in the kitchen window at me when I got home this evening...

Hey! You're not Santa!!

Izzy was posing for me, dressed up in her Santa outfit, when Rusty jumped into the chair with her. Fortunately, my trigger finger is quick!

Rusty-Roo

My old pony saddle decorates our living room and adds to the Western ambiance. Rusty was pretending to take a ride, so I just had to have a shot! ;-)

So sweet...

..and yet when he's not sleepy like this - what a little devil!! Our furniture will never be the same and he's pulled the curtains down a time or two. Rusty is a perfect example of a healthy, happy kitten - they play hard! And then crash, and sleep for hours....

Curiosity did what?

Rusty was trying to catch that bright light that kept flashing at him. He just couldn't figure out what it was. It was too funny!

Couch Potatoes

In a very rare moment of quiet, Rusty and our oldest watch television.

Rusty & The Peepers

Rusty met one of the ducklings...

Meet Rusty!!

Remember the kittens that my son's best friend's cat had a couple of months ago? We did get one! I brought him home yesterday afternoon and surprised the boys. They were thrilled!! And we're all very much in love with him already. He's such a sweetie! As soon as you give him attention he starts purring and he won't quit until you put him down. He just loves to snuggle...and climb your pant legs - ouch!!
