Stella the Cat has moved to a new location

Hello friends,
Mr. and Mrs. Nice have decided to move my blog to one of their private domains. Since I am not a cat with a background in computer sciences and network administration I have to go along with the experts.

My blog can be found there from now on and as soon as Mrs. Nice has more time, I will have her type up some new stories. I still haven't figured out how to work the keyboard on her notebook myself.

See you there!

What have I been up to?

I tried the snow and I did not like it. This was taken January 1, 2008.

I haven't been doing much of anything. Between Christmas and New Year it was quite cold and I preferred to stay indoors much more than going outside. Mr. and Mrs. Nice used their spare time after work to occupy me. We also had company at our house. You may remember the post I had about the lady with the big Weimaraner? Well, she spent New Year's at our house and of course, she spoiled me as well.

I much more prefer to play with my shoestrings and Mr. Nice. He is really good at playing with me.

The last two weeks were great. Mr. & Mrs. Nice have been home with home and I get to go out whenever I want now. The weather has been much nicer and the snow is gone. Mrs. Nice said she saw tulips and crocuses peeking out of the ground. It looks like spring is on its way to me. According to Mrs. Nice we will probably have some snow again in February or March. She advised me not to get spring fever yet! Watching her almost getting on ground level looking for plants that is kind of difficult to do. :-)

I reeeeaaally enjoy that!

Before I quit writing, I have to tell you that the neighbors are talking about me! Mrs. Nice was tickled to death after a neighbor told her on New Year's Eve outside that she thinks it is so funny when I leave my house, enter the street, holding up my tail like I am the "diva" of our street. Sounds like they think I am conceited, doesn't it? I am not sure whether I should be offended or not. Mr. & Mrs. Nice just think I am the cutest cat alive. That's enough for me.

Mrs. Nice only had a picture from this summer of me where I am holding my tail up high. What's wrong with that? I avoid bringing home dried leaves that way. I do it all to keep Mr. & Mrs. Nice's house clean. That's right! :-)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This is my very first Christmas at the Nice's house. I can tell it will be exciting. Today Mr. Nice put up a real tree inside the house and Mrs. Nice spent hours decorating.

She is a little worried that I may climb up her tree because her old cat used to do that when he was a kitten. The Santa Claus you see in the picture looks like something I'd love to get my paws on, but I better not. I know she will get the water bottle out and spray me which I don't care for at all.

Anyhow if I don't get around to drop you a line. Have a Merry Christmas with all your loved ones and all the best for 2008.

Yours truly,
Stella-The-Cat

Way Up High ....

Usually Mrs. Nice has a clematis growing here, but I thought I should see how difficult it is to climb up here. Great view from up here, I'd say.

At the moment it is too cold outside to have any exciting adventures outdoors. Mrs. Nice says I act like Garfield the cat when I am bored. Can you tell me who this is?

Anyhow, have fun looking at my pictures.

My favorite and not so favorite spots in the house

When I came to Mr. & Mrs. Nice's home, I had presents waiting for me. One of them was my scratch pole which I have shown for Luna once before and my little wicker basket.

The scratch pole remains to be one of my favorite spots since I can sit there and look out of the window into the garden. Since I don't care to be out very much at the moment, I can sharpen my claws there as well which I do lot.
The wicker basket I liked at the beginning. For some reason which I cannot explain I have avoided it for a while.

Then they bought this red "cave" for me. At the moment this is where I am all the time when I need some peace and quiet. Of course, it is in my favorite room which is the bedroom.

Mr. & Mrs. Nice thought I should have more hiding places and bought another one. This one is blue and it has a pillow with the same design on the inside. She has begged me to use it. Mr. Nice thought that I may be smelling something I don't like, so Mrs. Nice even washed it and put my favorite cuddly blanket in it.
Today they tried again to entice me to use it; to no avail though. I wonder why I just cannot use it quite yet?

So, what do you think of my furniture?

Have a nice week!
Stella

What's there do do ... Part II

Dear friends,
the cold weather continues. The weekend is here and this usually means that I am allowed to spend a lot of time outdoors when Mr. and Mrs. Nice are home. Since it is dark when they come home in the evening now, I don't care to be out since the temperature has dropped so much.

However, today I had to go out and explore our garden a little. As you can probably tell by the looks of it, my paws were pretty cold. I didn't stay out much longer.

I hurried to make it to the border and back inside the house.
I decided this week I need to take charge of the other couch where Mr. Nice likes to sit with his notebook and surf on the internet. He left the notebook on the couch while he worked on the office computer upstairs and I had time to admire my blog.

I hope wherever you are that your weather is warmer than it is in Bavaria right now.

Have a nice weekend!
