A Cat and his Monkey

My mother-in-law won this really cute monkey at the fair earlier this month. She gave it to Xander, and he carried it around for a whole day. Ever since then, the monkey has been relegated to the piles of toys on the floor in Xander's room. Only now, he has a new friend.

Every morning when I go in to snuggle with Xander, Stuart comes along. Next thing I know, he's rolling around on the floor with that monkey. Sometimes he bites it and wrestles with it, other times he just licks it. New friend? Substitute kitty? Who knows!

But it sure is awful cute!

Oh, and since today's post is all about Stuart, I'll add an LOL Cat that I made from one of his recent pics, for your entertainment!

It's Caturday!

Okay, so you have no idea what Caturday is, right? It's a special day for embracing the fun and wacky things our kitties do, with special kitty captions. At my scrappy website, A Cherry On Top, my pal Tracy hosts Caturday every Saturday. She posts a whole bunch of funny LOL cats, which make the rest of us laugh and occasionally wet our pants.

If you'd like to know more about this phenomenon, please check out Tracy's blog. She explains Caturday pretty well, and has some cute examples. If you'd like to try your hand at turning your own furry pets into LOL cats, you can do that at ICanHasCheezburger.

Here's one I recently did of Stuart. Happy Caturday!
