Who needs an alarm clock?

 "I like to make sure Lynn nevfur evfur ovfur sleeps."

"I have this terrific scratchy post in the bedroom. And I use

it a lot in the dark of the morning.  It makes lotsa noise

as my claws rip the sisal rope. The hard cardboard knocks

on the wood leg.  I can nevfur let Lynn git too much sleep."

Somewhere between 4:30 AM and when I get up at 5,

Precious will start the morning alarm.  She never

meows, she never jumps on the bed,  but she really

knows how to use that scratcher. 

You may ask why then is it in the bedroom.  Long story

short,  it was made for Angel Seney years ago and lived

elsewhere. But moving into this house,  we have one scratcher

in the living area and one in the basement.  So this little

table used to be a window seat, it is now just like a 

night stand with a built in alarm.

"Lynn,  tell me that you nevfur evfur hada

alarm clock this loud and timely.  I must git 

my breakfast on time.  And I gotta pawty to

go to today at June's house!"

"Check us all out at Zoolatry with all our

finery on and tea and crumpets."

What better way to celebrate our Blogoversary!

Me and my Gal Pal

 "Lynn, which one of us has a gal pal? You or me or both of us."

Precious, we must be each other's gal pal.

"This is a member of the armoire clowder. And

fur me."

"It's a good thing it does not hiss or meow or scratch.

Else I'd have to show it a thing er two myself."

I bought this when you came here nearly 14 years ago, Precious.

I wanted to add a cat to my other three stuffed animals to

represent my furry girls.  It is a bit lighter than you

but still in a grey onesie.

"Well, I'm glad you got me a special look-alike kitty."

The large grey one represents my long lost tripod Peepers.

The black and white is sweet Suzy Q.

The calico is the closest I could come to Seney

who was a tri color Maine Coon.

"I wasn't a feral kitty, but I was left at the orphanage.

I'm a lucky cat that Lynn found me there.

And guess what!  My 2 hoomans volunteered

to git shots.  Lynn will now complain about

a sore arm fur something called flu and covid.

If she only knew how bad I feel when I git my

rabies shot,  I got no sympathy fur them."

Why didn't you take me too?

 "Lynn,  ya got lots of weird sights to see biking. Nothin' near as purrty as me, of course.  And how come I have to stay home?"

These tiny dots are dozens of migrating Swallows.  Looked 

like Tree Swallows from down below.

Sun and bad photo makes turkey look golden.  He's black.

"Lynn coasted behind this wild turkey down the bike path fur quite a

ways.  She was plannin' on bringin' it home fur Thanksgiving

Day.  But eventually she says the silly thing dropped off

into the woods."

This is the sun at 9:30 AM one day on the bike path.

We have had so much rain and then days of fog, that

blue sky was not to be seen. This week has been the

sunniest in 2 months.

"Kin ya tell these mommas are still ready to feed their big

babies?  They got lots of milk left over.  I've never 

drank milk here, so I wonder if I'm missin' out on

somethin' good?"

"Lynn,  I'm sittin' here at the counter waiting to

try somethin' good to eat or drink.  What's holdin'

you up!" 

Precious, no milk in this house so I guess

you'll just have to be disappointed.

It began with 3

 "Lynn had so many caterpillars last year we gotta 4th box. And it's a good thing she did. The nursery was in smaller plastic boxes."

"I warned her not to start this.  But after the furst 3 early on

there ended up being eggs after eggs laid out furont."

"She went out evfurry day and brought in teensy tiny 'pillars

and had to feed them all."

"They were purrty obligin' and grew up to be Monarch 

Butterflies eventually.  We had 102.  So glad that

Mackerull over at Trout Towne was wrong about

us gittin' 732 this year.  Lynn woulda gone over

the edge."

"I'm just glad they flew away afore winter and filled up my house."

"Lynn says we even had a few 'pillars escape her attention

and we found a few butterflies hatchin' in Seney's 

pink garden sedums! And we only fed 9 'pillars 

that ended up not hatchin' acause of the parasites 

got 'em."

Big Baby

 "Dear furiends,  if'n yer peeple call you a big baby, show 'em this big baby."

"Yep, Lynn said mama cow is only a tad bigger than her

hunger baby who wants it's milk.!"

"Now me fur instance, I'm a big girl, not a big baby.

And I git treated like a princess mostly."

How do I look in Pink?

"Lynn,  I'm wearing pink fur saying happy birthday to Willie on Sept. 21!  He luvs pink."

"I don't usually dress up so much but I was inspecting the

drawer and found a pink cape just my size.

I think the pink brings out the grey in my onesie."

If only I did not have to open every drawer and 

pull them out for your inspection, Precious.

"But Lynn,  I find new stuff all the time!"

My furry own nippy plant

"Lynn made sure she got a good wacky weed seedling this Spring."

"And when I go out on my catio, I have plenty to chew."

"And I attack it furom evfurry angle."

"I find it lip smacking yummy. And then I go in and sleep it off."

Precious,  you some times really get into helping

yourself to catnip plant.  And it does seem to put you 

to sleep.  I don't always have luck with one in a pot.

The one out front is protected to a point that the 

neighborhood cats can not just roll in it and break it off.

But I also keep a wild one that is available for that 

until it is worn off or dies from too much attention.

Hide and Seek

 "Lynn, I don't mind gittin' my paws wet."

"I'm glad the rain stopped and I bet ya can't find me."

"But look what I found fur you.  A Buckeye Butterfly!"

Precious,   your tail is a your tell.

"And now that I'm back inside since ya found me, is there

time fur a good brushin?"

Precious, only about 5 times a day!

Our Angels over the years.

 "Lynn,  I wanna show off the kitty angels that you have told me about when we do leg time and look at the photo albums."

"This is Peepers.  She was a retired, and glad of it, show kitty

that came to live with Lynn and the man who rubs my belly

when she was 2 1/2.  She was a Queen acause she'd had

kittens after show life and then spayed.  

She ended life as a tripod kitty and eventually cancer

took her away at 9 years young."

"Lynn says Suzy Q started life as a tiny kitten in

the neighbors barn.  They wanted a mouse catcher

but did not take good care of her.  She soon learned

that she could be cuddled and fed good at Lynn's 

house. She would sleep under the hosta leaves and

lay on the patio chair.  Lynn got hurt really bad

and when she could walk, Suzy Q used to do laps

around the yard with Lynn."

Seney came to live with us 15 months before we lost Peepers.

They got along okay, but never really pals.

"Angel Seney came to them as a tiny kitten and lived fur over

20 years.  She cleared the path fur me to come soon after

she went over the rainbow.  She slept on Lynn's pillow every

night of her life and kneaded Lynn's hair till they both fell

asleep.  She's been gone 14 years, but Lynn says she always

thinks about the empty pillow every night."

"I'm glad to know that kitties lived with Lynn afore me.

Lets me know she's really a cat woman fur sure."

Precious knows I cross stitched life size pictures

of my 3 angels.  They are on the blog page.  And

I have already done one of Precious years ago.

Happy Cow

"Holy Cow, Lynn.  What is this critter?"

Precious,  this is a happy cow!  And what a happy sight to

see at the bike path.

"Don't think I'm gonna share my box with this giant!"

Giant flowers I bike past at a park.

Sumac torches.

I would have enjoyed seeing the giant spider that made this

web around the base of 2 corn plants. Can you see his tunnel

at the top left plant? I watched a bit but he never came out.

"Was this the BIG addition?  Have you got anymore 

giants up yer sleeve?  I need a giant nap furom all this

big news."
