Happy New Year 2012
December 31, 2011 by templetons
Cats featured today: Bandit and Butchie, Basil, Cairo, Casper and Misha, Coco, Gabbie, Lucy Loo and Phoebe, Meggs, Millie and Thomas, Milo, Misty and Max, Nelson, Paris, Pax, Rolly, Sheba, Sooty and Zingy.
We really loved the 2nd best cat video of the year, Kitten vs. two scary things (green apples). Here it is,
We had a few days of beach weather and normal surf so all the tourists made the most of it. Today as we wave 2011 good bye, a bit of drizzle. The cats can still sit out in the patios and that’s all that matters.
Here are some of them this morning.

Best Cat Video of 2011
December 27, 2011 by templetons
Cats featured today:Alberto, Alley, Basil, Cairo, Casper and Misha, Coco, Gabbie, Emma, Max and Misty, Meggs, Millie, Milo, Mocha and Thomas, Nelson, Phoebe, Rolly, Sera, Sheba and Sprite.
Some say that this is the best cat video of the year, what do you think?
Pretty cool weather for the holidays, great for people that have to work but bad for tourism and locals that want to go to the beach, unless you are an advanced surfer. Most of the beaches closed due to king tides brought about by cyclones Fina and Grant. Hope it gets better in the next few days. Here are some photos of the local beaches, click on the pics for more.
We wish Basil a Happy Birthday and many Happy Returns! He’s 5 y.o. today!

Here we are at last on Christmas Eve: a hot, humid and windy. Big swells and a lot of the beaches closed thanks to ex-tropical cyclone Fina, in the far north. The cats don’t seem to mind and are all looking forward to the celebratory dinner of prawns and bbq chicken. Only one cat yet to arrive, Cairo just in time for a yummy dinner.
