Black and White and … all over everything

Warning, attack of a black and white fur ball is about to commence.   It starts innocently enough, with a cuddly, peaceful, couch creature, fresh from a nap:

And then he wakes up:

And there is no stopping him:

We learned a lot this month.   How to get shots:

How to get his daily grooming, a requirement for these long haired guys:

This is Helen trying to convince a skeptical BanTik into trying on snow booties:

It was a short lived effort … he limped around like a peg legged pirate for about 10 seconds before de-shodding:

He loves gallivanting around in the snow (without boots):

Carrying out a proud Winter tradition, he built his first snowman:

We helped a little:

Black and White and Red all over, the lips, twice.

The young puppy energy was too much for the older Brown cat, whom we haven’t seen for 2 weeks, but the younger White cat has put up with the pestering.   He likes the cat food too much:

They are settling into a sometimes peaceful co-existence.

After all of the above activity, which is usually repeated 3-4 times a day between naps, he crashes pretty hard … even an energetic gourd can not get him back on his feet:

And finally, if anyone is still reading this post and has not given up due to all the puppy photos, I’ll reward you with a non-puppy photo … it was the only one I could find!

Oh, and Goggle did a fun thing, auto-generating a year-in-review movie based on various pics and videos that had been auto-uploaded to google plus.   It does a pretty good job, with not human input on selection or editing.   It is the first first video here:
