Certain Sacrifices Need to be Made

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

When one is a traveling kitty, one must make sacrifices. Most of the comforts of "home" can be accomplished, just maybe not in such style and comfort. For example, the E's recently posted a picture of themselves all nogged out by the fireplace. Since the motorhome has no fireplace, CJ has to make do with the next best thing - a heated floor in front of the heat outlet.

And instead of a really nice cat tree to climb on to look out the windows, CJ must make do with the next best thing - a perch looking out the screen door.

Since the computer and printer need to share the kitchen table, CJ must make do and share the kitchen table also.

And since his sister is constantly in the bathroom these days, it's sometimes necessary for CJ to make do and share the facilities. (I call this my "two seater." :D )

(CJ normally perches on the edge of the litterbox, but when Peanut came up he got flustered and "fell" off the edge. :D )

And finally, since things are just not as roomy and spacious as they were in the house, CJ must make do and squish himself between the couch and the dinette. My little butterball.

Video is of CJ by the "fire." The droning noise is the heat blowing.

What more could a kitty ask for? :D

[critter crazy]

poor kitties!! leading such a rough life!! :rolleyes: Ha ha ha ha ha!!

[Laura's Babies]

Rough indeed! Making that poor kitty bake all those cookies. I sure hope you helped her some, especially with the clean up! Yup! Looks like she is really roughing it as best she can in that motor home..

WOW! CJ does look like a butterball! :eek: He must like to eat when he travels like I do.. He looks so pitiful having to live so rough.. :rolleyes: ... what else is there to do but EAT?

(Such a cute picture stoy of them roughing it in their travels!)

[Cinder & Smoke]

:cool:

"Ruffin it" ... indeed! :p

I have to admit to a bit of *panic* when I first read your Thread Title ...
OMG! WHAT "sacrifices" I fretted ...

Glad The Kids are able to "make do" with their primitive living accommodations ...

:D

Speaking of Living - WHERE are you guys "camping" for Christmas??

[shais_mom]

Cute! :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

Great pictures. I'm glad that both Peanut and CJ have easily adapted to the motorhome.:) Those cookies sure look good.:D

[K & L]

Thanks for the smile this morning! Great photos and captions! Happy Holiday's to you all!

[rkidsrcats]

CJ is so much the traveling kitty he can handle whatever comes his way! And Peanut...it appears her motto is "when life gives you lemons....make a margarita!"

Glad they are able to see the USA with you.
The Tribe says Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to the Road Cats!

[Donnaj4962]

Oh.... the abuse these 2 kitties must endure.... having to "rough" it in the nice, comfy motorhome! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Great pictues of your babies! They are so adorable! Kissies and scritches to both Peanut and CJ!

[Barbara]

CJ- it is so lovely of you to sacrifice some of your comfort for your sister who deserves every Christmas cookie she can get :)

[Edwina's Secretary]

Peanut and CJ understand the most important thing in catlife......

Home is where the meowmie (and pawpie!) is.....

[lvpets2002]

;) Oh yes I can see these babies are in the Rough Zone & mistreated :o .. Adorable pics thanks

[Killearn Kitties]

Poor, poor babies! I'm glad they are making the best of things. Chin up sweeties! :D

[catfamily]

Preciuos pictures.I loved all of them so much.I would love to be a cat and be owned by you and get to see the country :D
CJ looks like a VERY happy camper.Peanut is such darling.That's so kind of you to have 2 cat litters in such a small space.I know it helps both be comfortable and happy.
I hope Peanut is doing good.She looks like she's holding up very well. :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

CJ what a sweet brother you are to give Peanut the best of everything.

MEOWRY CHRISTMAS to you, Peanut and your meowmy and pawpie too!!! :D

[catmandu]

If Theres Anything Taht I Would Buy, If I Could For The Found Cat Hotel , It Would Be A Fireplace , A Gas One So The Found Cats Could Gather Around And Be Toasty Warm In The Canadian Winter.
Maybe Next Year!!
Nice To See Peanuts Ruling The Roost, And Is Still Queen Of All She Surveys!!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

We are still in Quartzsite so we won't be having a white Christmas. And that's just fine with us. ;)

I've added some pics of where we're at to our album http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2100084395

I just took a few more but haven't had time to upload them. Will let you know when I get them uploaded.

Thanks everyone. P & CJ have really adjusted well to motorhome life and I really think it's like ES says "Home is where the meowmie (and pawpie!) is....." :D
