OMG we are fostering a Momma Cat and her kittens! This is the mom cat she is really soft and is doing a good job with the kittens. We named her Jewel.

She has three kittens! It is really hard to get a good picture of them because they want to play all the time and they move so fast!  The kittens are all different sizes. Lucky is the biggest one he is gray and white. Daisy is the medium-sized one and she is multi colored like her mom. The littlest one is less than half the size of the others! The shelter thinks he may be a dwarf. He is a really sweet cat and plays and wrestles with his siblings but also loves to sit in mom’s lap. Lucky likes to climb onto mom’s shoulder!

Here is a picture of the littlest kitten! 

Also!  We had lunch with our awesome friend Maggie! Maggie used to live across the street from us but she and her husband moved and now we don’t see her as often. Maggie is gorgeous and smart and lots of fun I miss seeing her all the time.

We visited a famous church, the Carmel Mission Basilica.The stone church was originally built in 1795!  and remodeled starting in 1817. It was lovely and peaceful.

We went to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary! But it was too cold for the butterflies to be out flying so they cluster together high in the trees. We did see one on a pathway!

We visited Old Capitol Books!  This is me with Ali who owns the bookstore and was super helpful as well as handsome. He is pulling my tail ha ha ha! Ali is very brave.

We went to a farmers market!  Look at these beautiful vegetables!

OMG these tomatoes are amazing! do the colors remind you of anyone they are Tiger colors!  Back home in Spokane our tomatoes froze weeks ago.

On our last day we had breakfast at a restaurant called Toasties Cafe here are the most awesome waitresses Kamila and Karla! They are super nice and beautiful!

Then we walked to the beach one more time. It was a super duper trip!

One day of our Monterey trip we drove along Highway 1 and stopped at a bunch of state parks! First we stopped by the breakfast room at the motel we were staying at for bananas and muffins. Here I am with Maria who takes care of guests in the breakfast room and is so nice and super beautiful. She and mom talked about books they like to read while I picked out snacks. Having lots of snacks is very important on a road trip.

Our first park was Andrew Molera state park and we walked along the Big Sur River.

We also stopped along the highway for scenic pictures of the rugged coast. 

Next was Big Sur state park! It is hard to get a good photo to show how big the Redwood trees are. The Redwoods at Big Sur can reach 250 feet tall but the ones along California’s North coast can be 350 feet tall because they get more water.

We hiked the Valley View Trail and met Kimi and her Mom Shiv. They traveled all the way from Singapore!  They were both really nice and gorgeous.

After hiking we went to the Big Sur Lodge and I got a Big Sur pin!  Mom thought a pin with a tree on it would be good but I wanted the one shaped like a shark!  It is red my favorite color and you can also see my Monterey pin that has a sea otter! on it!  I got it at a Monterey gift shop I LOVE gift shops!

Then we went to Point Lobos state park and walked the trails along the coast.  We saw sea lions and more sea otters!  Through viewing scopes that some volunteers had.

When we got back to the car there was a seagull on it ha ha!  They did not seem very scared of me they probably had never seen a Tiger before.

Oh Boy Oh Boy we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium it was awesome!  First we met Timothy outside who was so handsome and nice and gave us all kinds of advice about our visit to the Aquarium. There is so much to do there!

They have sea otters !!!! OMG !!!!!  They are the best animals ever!  After Tigers.

They have PENGUINS!!!!  OMG !!  I LOVE PENGUINS!

Here I am with a leopard shark I was not scared I am a Tiger.

Here is a picture of me with some eels. Okay now I am a little bit scared.

Part of the aquarium is the viewing decks to the Monterey Coast! This is me with Zach who is from Santa Cruz but got his marine biology degree at UH Hilo which is where Auntie Darcy works!  Zach is super handsome and really nice and smart.

From the deck we saw wild sea otters!  and Risso’s dolphins jumping!

There were so many fantastic things to see and do at the aquarium but mom says I can only post one more picture so here is one of a jellyfish it is so beautiful!

OMG !!! Mom packed a backpack and my satchel and we went to the airport !!! Yay!  I LOVE going to the airport!  We flew on a plane from one airport to another and while we were there we met Jason, Kenton, and Andre who play basketball for the Southern Utah Thunderbirds!!   Andre said TIGERS are his favorite animal!!  They were really nice and super handsome. Mom we should visit Utah and go to a Thunderbirds game.

Then on the next plane we sat next to Stacy who was travelling for her job. She was super nice and super beautiful we had a good time talking with her.

OMG here we are in Monterey! Sandy beaches and beautiful water but too cold for swimming. I am a Tiger I was not afraid to go in the water but mom said NO.

Here we are visiting the iconic Cannery Row area. We explored all over and used the walkway that you see behind me to cross the street!  Monterey used to have a big fishing fleet to catch sardines and cook and can them; I bet that smelled good!

OMG it SNOWED !!!!! Yayyyy!!! Taj and me and Dixie had a snowball fight in the yard!!

Another great thing happened this week which is we went to the dentist!  Here Diana is showing me a giant tooth that has gingivitis!  Diane is so beautiful and is really really nice and smart too. The funniest thing happened!  After mom took this picture Diana put me on the counter where the tooth belongs and was going to hand mom the tooth!!!  Ha ha ha I could have stayed with Diana which would have been awesome and mom would have carried around a tooth in my satchel all day!

Then at work there was a big party for Veterans Day with lots of yummy food.

Here I am with Austin who works in Part Sales and is super handsome. He is not letting me anywhere near his plate of food. My reputation must be known I am a Tiger!.

Oh Boy I love Halloween!  We had over 80 Trick-Or-Treaters this year and we ran out of candy! Mom said hey this bag was supposed to have 100 pieces in it where did the rest go?  It is a mystery. Also Mom FORGOT to take pictures but we did get one picture of a kid in a costume like one of those air dancers at used car lots!  

Our neighbors had great decorations! I am a Tiger I was not scared.

Our awesome neighbors Aaron and Becky had a party in their driveway this weekend with a portable fire pit ! Aaron was handing out wine and beer but mom said NO. Becky was handing out juice boxes so I got that instead!
