This morning, my younger daughter took over doing the morning rounds for me. I was really appreciating it, as I’d had a sleepless night.
Mostly because of cats.
I don’t know what’s gotten into Ghosty, but she has been trying to get into all of the places she is not allowed. It got to the point that, even when I did finally doze off, I would hear something and immediately wake up saying “get out of there!” before I even knew which cat was getting into what. It was usually Ghosty digging under my monitor again, or Clarence launching himself on my craft shelf, chasing ladybugs. Or Shadow doing the same thing.
There are a lot of ladybugs in the house right now, and they are driving the cats insane!
Then there was Ghosty deciding that my face is delicious, and repeatedly trying to lick it, or Butterscotch and Potato Beetle, both wanting cuddles at the same time. Plus Cheddar, who has a thing for slamming himself against my back as he settles down for the night.
Then there are the mystery noises in other parts of the house that I end up having to get up and check. I was not impressed to discover a ball of fine yarn in the dining room, half unraveled and tangled up. I honestly don’t know how they got it. I have several balls of this yarn that I hid away long ago, to protect it from the cats. I honestly can’t remember where I hid them; it’s not where I thought I had put them.
As much as I appreciated my daughter doing the morning rounds so I could sleep, I’m afraid I didn’t actually got more than maybe an hour.
I did head out this morning, as I needed to go to the post office before the store it’s in closed for the afternoon, as they always do on Wednesdays. As I was going to the garage, I spotted this adorable scene.
That’s one adult male with four of this year’s kittens.
I headed out again, after lunch, to get some work done outside. As I was going back and forth around the yard, I spotted this bit of adorableness.
I’m so glad they are liking the new shelter!
The way things have been going these days, I’m enjoying the outside cats more than the inside cats! 😄
I’m happy to say, I got quite a lot done outside today. There is still more to do, of course, but I should be able to get most of that done in the next couple of days.
More on that in my next post!
