Beep Beep is the cat we see most often on the bird feeder. :-D
I don’t know what was at the side of the house, but it sure got her attention!

Critter of the day – Hello, Beep!
As I write this post, she is back on the feeder!
I’ve just uploaded a whole bunch of photos from the living room camera, and will be posting some over the next few days. :-)

Right at home
My daughter called me over and told me I needed to look out the bathroom window.
Were the kittens all being cute again?
Nope.
Ferdinand was.
He had been asleep when she saw him, but woke up when I used my phone’s camera to be able to see (ah, the joys of being short…).
He’s made himself right at home on there! The kittens don’t mind him at all, either. From what I saw earlier today, there may well be a kitten or three on the other side of the blanket over the box. They keep pulling the side down and covering the opening completely.
Strange. I just noticed. His nose isn’t the bright pink it usually is!

Hello, Ferdinand!
My daughter was able to get some good pictures of Ferdinand!
Recently, while they were outside topping up the cat’s food and water outside, Ferdinand was there. He ran off, but stayed close enough that they could hear him breathing.
He makes strange noises when he breathes!
We think there might be something wrong with his nose.

Good Morning
Just a few shots to share with you this morning.
I was going to say I caught The Outsider, mid-meow, as I was feeding the outside cats this morning, but he wasn’t actually meowing when I took this shot.
Too funny!
A couple of grosbeaks were trying to eat the frozen apples, left on this tree.
These apples won’t fall, even while being pecked apart by birds. No wonder I wasn’t able to knock down any more of them for the deer.
While I was taking this picture, I suddenly had a cat climbing up my front. Beep Beep decided that I needed to carry her while I was doing my rounds. She did let me put her onto a post, for a bit…
Just a bit. Then she jumped back on me, as soon as I got close enough!
While taking the photo, I realized why she always has one paw up like that. There isn’t enough room on the top of the post for all 4 paws!
She was aggressively cuddly this morning. :-D
We were able to make a trip into the city this morning, to finally visit my FIL. It’s been a while since my husband was up to the trip. The girls and I will need to head into the city again, soon – unusual for us to go that often, but we will be doing a fair bit of running around to various places on our next trip, in preparation for Christmas.
I’ll have to remember to pick up more cat kibble. It’s been less than a week, and we’re already finishing off one big bag!
Okay; so maybe we’re feeding a few more cats than last winter (13, compared to the 7 or 8 before).
And maybe we’re being a bit more generous on the quantities…
We are such sucks! :-D

Hello, up there!
It’s still hard to believe this is the same scrawny little bobble-headed kitten from months ago!
He’s all caught up with his siblings and cousins, and grown quite handsome, indeed!

Frosty
Looks like it was warm enough for a fog last night. This morning, the trees were covered in hoarfrost.
It was like something out of a postcard.
Beep Beep was not impressed.
I was also escorted by Butterscotch and Rolando Moon. Butterscotch wanted to be carried the whole time. She did NOT want to be put down so I could take photos. When I was finished with taking pictures, I would find her sitting on my boot, to stay out of the snow! :-D

Content
Ferdinand and Nicky the Nose tend to show up together, even if they fight each other, Slick seems to come from somewhere else, on his own.
Butterscotch seems quite content with his company.

Morning Kitties
This is what greeted me, as I was getting ready to head out with the cats’ food and water.
I find it so funny that Doom Guy will sit in the empty water bowl like that!
Note the little face peeking out from the cat cave set up (top right)!
We were able to stock up on deer feed yesterday, and I picked up a new mix of bird seed. I am hoping it is more to the liking of our local birds, plus it will be better for the hanging feeder. When I had just the black oil seeds in there, the grosbeaks would keep trying to get at it, but the base of the feeder is sized more for chickadees and nuthatches, not bigger birds like grosbeaks or blue jays. They could only land for a split second before they basically dropped off and flew away, not always able to get any seed, first. They like the deer feed, and eating on the ground or platform feeder, so between the two mixes, I figure we’ll have all bases covered!
I had company while doing my rounds, of course. This morning, it was just Rolando Moon.
She likes to follow along, keeping her distance, but she does let us pet her.
Though sometimes, she’ll attack our hands in the middle of a pet! She’s quite gentle about it; when she bites, she doesn’t use enough pressure to actually hurt, and even her claws are quickly retracted.
Then she’ll just as quickly go from biting to giving kisses!
Such a fickle girl! :-D

Things that make me smile
Fresh snow on the spruces.
And cats watching us through the kitchen window!
Why, hello there, Butterscotch! :-D
