3-D CATS IN HATS ON THE LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY!

The 3-Ds are becoming very tired of winter.

Dante doesn't like to bundle up and wishes he could just bask in the sun 'au naturel'.  Today he is wearing a gray, tan and red plaid CATsby cap with a coordinating scarf to keep his chinny, chin, chin warm.

"I'm tryin' ta keep my chin up undah da circumstances", says he.  "Good fing I has my scarf ta keep it dere!"

 Domino, who is always on top of things, can't quite understand why the weather won't do what she wants.  She has control over every other aspect of her domain, after all.

She is wearing a faux fur white hat with a white silk scarf adorned with a silver bird.

"I'm reddy ta turn my back on wintah!", she declares, doing just that!

I'm afraid that winter has driven Dylan simply nuts!!!  He is protesting as loudly as he can so that the weather gods will hear him.

Meanwhile he is wearing a knitted green kitty hat with ears and a matching scarf.

"Snow, snow go away, come again anuddah day -- or anuddah century fur dat mattah!"

"Maybe dose uddah cats want winter to go away, but I'm NOT looking forward to being a puddle!"

DYLAN: PEEP SHOW!

Dylan has always been something of an acroCAT -- in this case, with his own brand of purrversion.    

 Today he is outside doing an amazing balancing act on the bench on the patio, which is situated right in front of our living room window.

 He is very adept at standing on tippy-toe whilst climbing.

 Here he pawses for greatest effect ...

... before finally scaling the back of the bench and aiming his peePURRS with laser intensity directly through the window.  What a peep show!

But the most extraordinary thing is -- that even whilst peeping, Dylan hasn't made a peep!  He is a very good mime who has purrformed in complete silence while simultaneously violating someone's privacy.  It's a skill that efurry good peePURR must master.  Well done, Dylan!

APAWS, APAWS!!!

DOMINO: ICE ON TUXY OR TUXY ON ICE?

Domino is sitting outside on the front porch with Daddy on this cold February day.

One thing you may not know about Domino is that when you cuddle her, she automatically starts to drool.

 What she didn't figure on, however, is that in this frosty frigid weather, the drool soon turns into icicles!

So, rather than be a drip she turns to another tactic.
Domino uses her figure-skating skills to tame that ice and claim it as her own.

"Is much bettah bein' a tuxy on ice dan wearin' ice on my tuxy!", declares she.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: LANDSCAPE IN 3-D!

(Biggify for best view)

3-D CATS IN HATS ON A FROSTY FEBRUARY DAY!

The 3-Ds are outside on a bitterly cold February day.  Of course they need their hats and mitts to keep them warm.

Domino is attempting to 'log on' out back, but doesn't remotely have an idea how to do it!  She is cozy in her leopard hat with ears to cover her own, and her matching mittens to protect her little front paws.

Dylan's getting adventurous in his charcoal plaid cadet cap with turned-up ear flaps, and coordinating wool scarf and mitts.  Now all he needs is some boots to keep those tippy toes from freezing!

Dante, too, is dressed appropriately for the weather.  He's wearing a fashionable tweed flat cap, gray scarf and woolly mitts.  He hasn't ventured far from the front door, and keeps casting an eye on it to make sure a quick escape from the cold is still pawsible.

Fortunately, the home fires are still burning.

C'mon back inside, y'all!

3-D VALENTINES!

Each of the 3-Ds has a signifiCAT other.  And so, today -- Valentine's Day -- is a very imPAWtant occasion for them.

Dante, Dylan and Domino have all made special Valentine's cards for their loved ones.

Dante's fiance Sascha was thrilled to receive this colourful and HEARTfelt missive.   Looks like there's lots of kisses in Dante's future!

Dylan and his fiance Halle are hot under the collar (and over the collar) in pink!  Their love virtually sizzles.

Domino and her longtime beau, Milo, are much cooler cats.  Their sophistiCATion and devotion to each other is the hallmark of their love story!

We wish all of you, too, a very Happy Valentine's Day just chock-filled with love!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DOMINO: IN THE PINK!

3-D CATS IN HATS ON A SNOWY SATURDAY!

The 3-Ds are all outside dressed in their winter best.

Domino's all bundled up in raccoon fur.  "Doan worreh", says she to her little raccoon furiend. "It's only faux fur me!"

"Fo fur reely warms my heart!"

Dylan's got on his olive khaki faux-fur-lined trappurr hat along with a swish coordinating olive and blue striped scarf.  His squirrel furiend definitely approves!

  "I'm reely into olives, myself!"

Dante's wearing his fafurite striped sweater and a rust-coloured suede cabbie hat to keep his ears warm.

"Ears to yoo, buddy!", say his rabbit furiends.

DYLAN'S SITTING PRETTY!

Dylan's such a pretty boy in almost every SITuation ...

 ... but especially when he's SITTING!

"I feels more at ease wen I'm SITuated on my butt!", affirms he.

"Becuz wen I'm standin', I feels like I has no choice but to BUTT OUT!"

Dylan's logic is hard to dispute.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN AND DANTE: COULDN'T BE COOLER!

DOMINO: A STUDY IN CONTRASTS

There's nothing quite so sharp in contrast as Domino's predominantly black coat against the crisp white snow.

 She certainly makes a statement, and doesn't even have to say anything!

The bare brown branches of the winter bushes add yet another element of variation. 

 The brown makes Domino's black all the more vivid.

Of course nothing is ever just black or white -- there are always the shades inbetween.  

That's why Domino in winter makes such a great study.

3-D FEBRUARY PORTRAITS: THE WAY FORWARD

The 3-Ds haven't been outside much in January, but they are each looking forward to some milder weather in February.

 Dante's not only looking forward, but he's looking out, too!

"Yoo hasta watch out fur fallin' iciculls", warns he.

Domino's looking forward as calmly as can be.

She takes a PAWSitive stance.  "Febyouary always PAVES da way fur Spring!" 

Dylan's looking forward enthusiastically.

"EYE is keepin' my EYES peeled", he says.  "EYE jus' hopes dey doan freeze!"
