It's getting colder so we'll be inside more often designing jewelry

It's that time of year when it's chilly outside and it gets dark so early!  Looks like my time outside eating grass is coming to an end.  :<  So I'll be spending more time sleeping and helping my Mom with her jewelry.  She had things spread out all over the bed tonight - there was barely room for me!  (What was she thinking??)
I'm having fun helping her choose pictures to put on chains for necklaces.  She cuts out tiny pictures of animals and sticks them on a square and then puts that on a necklace.  I haven't designed one with myself on it yet, as that will have to be as beautiful as me.  But we did make one with the little boy and one with my partner Scully.  Here is one we made of the little boy.  Since he's a boy I thought it was okay to put it on a more plain necklace.

I'll start working on more so I have some beautiful kitty necklaces to show you soon.  Of course all kitties are beautiful, at least that's what my Mom says.

Labor Day? What is THAT??

I've heard labor is the same thing as work.  I'm a cat, so I don't do that.  My only job is to look pretty so my mom will scratch me, pet me, and feed me. 
I'm getting used to the little black kitten, although I still don't like him.  I've figured out that as long as he's sleeping I don't have to worry about him.  This is great because I feel safe enough to lay on the bed with my mom again.  I missed that.  I like to lay beside her while she watches that box with moving things in it (she calls it "TV").  Lately I've taken to sleeping on her head while she sleeps.  It's nice and warm there.
She hasn't made too many new jewelry pieces lately.  I haven't been in the mood to help her design - I've discovered a new spot to look out the window, so I spend most of my time there.  Since I turned 16 last month, I've been a little sleepier than usual.  I suppose I should take a look at some of her beads and give her some advice, though.  But that sounds like work, and like I said, I don't do that.  She did make this necklace without my help - she said something about "om".  Maybe she just said "um".  Who knows?  Time for a nap.
Ta ta!
Buddy

He thinks this bed is his mother!

Hi, Buddy here.  I've helped my human Mom design a few necklaces this week, which have turned out very nicely.  The new baby cat is still here and more annoying than ever!  He chases me around and tries to get me to play with him, which I'm having none of.  Sometimes he lays down besides me and swats at my belly!  As if having a drooping belly isn't bad enough! 
I've also noticed that when he lays in this pink bed he kneads on the sides with his paws and sucks on it.  It must feel like his mother and he's trying to nurse.  I do feel badly that he misses his kitty mom.  But my human Mom seems to really love him so maybe that will make up for it.

New addition to my design team

A few weeks ago my human mom brought home an annoying, tiny black kitten.  I don't know where he came from, but he's driving me crazy!  He follows me around everywhere, tries to get me to play with him, eats my food, sleeps in my spots, and takes up too much of my mom's attention.  I can't imagine why my mom did this.  I just hope that I can get him to help out with the jewelry design business.  If he's going to be here and annoy me he can at least be useful!
