Cats on Beds/ or Not

 "Lynn, you know purrfectly well, I am not like regular cats."

Believe me, do I know it.

What I do know is I see lots of kitty blogs

that show off lovely cats, like you are Precious,

sleeping out where they can be seen.

There is Poppy Q, Jo Jo, Derry, Miss Tork,

Miss Pippi and Blackie, Katie, all of Dr. Bellen's

cats. These are just a few. They sleep on top of 

lovely beds. 

But here you are again. In the bed tent.

"So what, you can peek in and see me. Though

I would rather you just let sleeping dogs lie"

Of course, I do get to see this sleeping

cat lie every evening for 3 hours on my legs.

Just not in day light hours. 

I do hope Precious has no Count Dracula blood 

in her veins.  All this cave time worries me.

Sunshine

 "Where have you been hiding this sun, Lynn?"

"I've been asking every day for you to open the

door."

I know, Precious, I am sorry that up here they take

the sun away from us for months on end.

We lose sunshine about November first,

and the cloud cover from Lake Erie takes

over 'til warmer weather gets here.

The front door faces due West, and this time of 

year, as it gets up to the 50's in temp and the

sun is moving farther north, I can sometimes 

open the door late afternoon.

" Now I can sunbathe and get a good tan, Lynn."

Hard to see the tan on that grey fur, but go for it

while the sun lasts a couple hours, Precious.

March came in like a Lamb, so of course it

had to go out like a Lion.

The last weekend of March we had 18 degree nights

and 25 degree days and 3 days of driving snow with sleet.

Now it is easing a bit but back to dark with rain and 50's.

Girl's Weekend

 "I love our girl time alone, Lynn. You know I am just a one

person kitty."

Precious and I have just had a lovely six day

staycation.  Only us girls. 

Precious is or has lots of Russian Blue in her,

and one strong chararistic of a Blue is they choose

the one and only person they want and all else are

not wanted or necessary in their mind.

I am grateful she chose me, but it does make living

with her a challenge day to day with my husband.

She lets him feed her breakfast and give her 

ear rubbin's and belly rubbin's every day at 

5:30 AM.  Any time after that she is out of sight

and hands off except for me.

So these past 6 days I have had the pleasure of Precious'

company many daylight hours.  

I also had the fun of borrowing this crazy movie from

the library.

Precious and I had a couple hours together

having a great laugh at these antics. 

"I found out Lynn got rid of my unwanted toys.

But she let me lie on her coat on the floor for hours."

Now, on a human note.  Am I the only person left

who enjoys handwriting (poorly) letters to friends and 

family on real stationary?  I mean the pretty and colorful

kind.  I have used all my old and I find nothing in the

big box stores.  Is texting and email the only method

left as an option,  or using lined school paper?

Shows I am getting too old for the modern world.

I bought myself a new cat toy

"Lynn, what is this thing?  It doesn't even smell like wacky

weed!  You take it away."

I only make it to any one of the 3 big cities a couple

times a year.  Each one is 40 or more miles away and

I am not a shopper, so I don't really have much want

or need to visit.

But when I do, I always go into the big box pet stores.

One hosts Humane Society cats for adoption and I always

want to see the cats.  

So I end up looking at "toys" for Precious.  Why oh why

do I bother.  

This one caught my eye because it has a crinkly sounding

skirt.  But no catnip at all.  Thought the noise might make

it fun.  But nope, no interest at all.

It now sits on her unused fancy cat bed in the living area.

But that is OK as Precious uses my legs instead.

Good thing I only waste a few dollars once or twice a year.

It would have been better spent on her food.

Movie Star

 "All the other kitty blogs have movies out and won Oscars!

Finally one of me!"

Well, I took this a year ago, just to let you know it is

on one of the fake fur beds I made for the orphans.

I did let Precious try out her tootsies on it, though.

Don't feel you need to watch the whole 11 seconds of

it.  I wasn't even sure the phone video would do a 

descent job and I forgot to hit the stop button after

just a few seconds.

"I don't often have my tootsies working so hard 

except up in my high altitude beds, Lynn."

A little Renior artwork I did of Precious.

The (free) gift that keeps on giving

 "You know of all my bags, this is the favorite forever, Lynn"

This free bag cost me hundreds of dollars a year.

Good old cable bill, you know what I mean.

But this bag is the one I keep by my chair in the living area.

And Precious never disappoints me playing in it. It lies there

flat as pancake, and she can just dive into it like it was a wide

open cave.

Then she can simply turn herself around and start to crawl

out inch by inch as she feels like.  This is late after we have had

hours of leg time in the evening, and she has had a bit of left over

supper.  I dole out the food from 5:30 until 8:30, and sooner or later

with the last bite of food, Precious is ready for some fun playing.

"I love my food first, then my frog on a stick and then my bag.

I have my priorities, you know, Lynn."

And every once in a while, Precious makes a deposit of

her breakfast ( she never upchucks dinner for some reason )

onto her blue bag.  She usually gags while on the vinyl

flooring and runs to the carpeted area to let go.

But when she goes on the bag, easy clean up and for

one useless moment I think "Take that you evil

money grubbing cable company."  Not that it does

one iota of good for anyone, especially not for poor

Precious, who then demands her bowl be refilled and

start the day again.

Bright Spot in the Winter

"Lynn, I've told you, I only want fresh wacky weed plants!

Why do you always get these frilly thingies?"

I have one African Violet in the house.  Precious really

doesn't care one way or the other about any live plant

except her valued catnip.

For me, she and the plant are a bright spot in this

winter time.

And here I am with my shadow, a very rare occurrence

"Gosh, Lynn, you couldn't do a real selfie like

me and the violet?  Ya got thumbs ya know.

And one week ago ice storm. 

Thankfully we were without power for only 4 hours.
