Critter of the Day: Dave status

Our new indoor addition is settling in fairly well. He’s so tiny, we’ve had to supervise him rather closely, in case he got stuck somewhere. Plus, the other cats aren’t too keen on the new addition.

This is him next to my wireless phone charger. He can just barely clamber over it, when he wants to walk down the window sill. :-D

He looks almost regal and majestic, here.

This is more typical.

Critter(s) of the Day: kit and cat

The kittens now eagerly await for the sun room door to be opened from the outside. When it opens, they just EXPLODE outside and start running around and exploring.

This little guy was investigating the garden hose. :-D

I also wanted to share this picture I got last night.

Guildenstern, in her favourite spot. So regal! Like a forest queen. :-)

Posting might be a bit light over the next while, as we will be having a dear friend stay with us. I pick her up at the airport tomorrow, and we can hardly wait!

Critter of the Day: freedom is scary

Yesterday, the kittens discovered they could get out of the sun room, so we let them all out.

After a couple of hours, one of them disappeared.

Mini-Doom Guy was nowhere to be seen.

After the kittens were all brought inside with one of the moms, still short one.

We searched the yard, over and over.

Still no little tuxedo.

We searched beyond the inner yard, into the garage, and anywhere else we could think of.

Still no little tuxedo.

Finally, as I went to do my evening rounds, there he was, hovering near the door to the sun room.

He was VERY happy to see us and be held!!!

I still have no idea where he was hiding, but I don’t think he’ll be wandering far again, for a while!

Critter of the Day: chickadee on a lilac branch

Take a closer look at the branch this chickadee is perched on.

This and other more horizontal branches of the lilac tree are worn down like this.

It’s from all the birds pecking the sunflower seeds they hold in their claws, open!
