Puddy Tats and Parties........

On Sunday, after a tournament, we invited some people over for a get-together. I made chili, taco dip, veggies and a meat and cheese platter. It was a nice time. We don't entertain very much, so this was a good thing. In all, including Bruce and I, there were 11 people in the living room. That is pretty much capacity for our small house!
Bruce, of course, entertained us all with a few of the less x-rated jokes from his Christmas present from Joanne and Eric.

As soon as the first people arrived, Oscar and Bassoon high-tailed it down the basement as they are both afraid of 'strangers'.












Bassoon on her favourite perch these days. Oscar helping on the computer!

We didn't see either of them for a couple of hours!!!! Finally Soonie got rather 'BRAVE' and came upstairs. She probably was hungry and then she went back to her 'perch'. Oscar followed soon after and found out that these 'strangers' were not sooooo BAD! There were a couple of girls (the daughters of our friend Chris L.) who LOVE cats and wanted to play with them. They are 13 and 11 (I think), so the cats weren't too spooked at them! Then there was Clara...
She spent the whole time our guests were here going from person to person for attention. You would think that we never pay her any attention or give her any affection the way she acted!!! Thank goodness most everyone were 'cat' people. Of course all were quite fascinated by the fact that she DROOLS when she is happy and being petted!!! WHAT A SUCKY CAT!!!!! She was in her Glory, getting all the attention because the other 2 cats had disappeared.

It sure is funny though, when Jill and Ryan or Jen come over, the cats don't disappear. Yet they sure seemed to know that these people that arrived at the door on Sunday, had never been here before!!!!!
