It came with instructions?

 "Honestly Lynn,  you could not leave the instructions attached?"

"I've nevfur evfur seen a scratcher bed before.  What's it fur?

Too hard to sleep on and I use my sisal rope scratchy post

fur keepin' my claws on the ready."

"I smell silvervine deep down where I 

can not git to 

to eat it or rub it."

Precious, my mistake.  I didn't think you needed

to see the label to figure this out.  But I see it was 

really a waste of money.  You only were interested

for as long as this short video.   

"duh, that's all folks"

(full disclosure: this bed found a better home)

after the hatch

 "I thought I'd tell you all you'll evfur wanna know 'bout growing

Cat Pillars.  And then you'll just leave 'em be where you sees 'em."

"Sometimes we had so many at one time

Lynn had ta put in a shelf to separate them

furom crawlin' on each other."

"And you kin see furom the dirty towel in the 

bottom that they poop a lot and leave a stain."

"And she found so many Cat Pillars on her only

3 milkweed plants that she had to put them into

buckets with net tops to spread them thinner.

As you kin see in the top photos, she ended up

with TWO net cages.  The green one and the 

new blue.  She ordered a third one furom the stinkin'

Amazons who sent it FOUR WEEKS  after they took

da moneys.  Too late to use." 

"She hadda use a fishing tackle box with  lid to put the eggs in

and keep the tiny hatchlings separated. Ya know what, these

Cat Pillars will eat each other if some are tiny and the others 

are big.  They nevfur evfur stop chewing.  Now me,  I stop

fur drinks, catio and naps."

First Eggs June 26

Last Butterfly Flew Sept. 26

Catepillar count: 219

Butterfly count: 168

Parasited count: 51

"And Lynn accidently brought home

about 2 dozen pillars or eggs and had

to raise them too.  They are included in the

count. The milkweed kept

getting mowed down by the road keepers

so it got furry furustrating."

"I am the only cat she needs to feed.  But

she has one only, Blackswallow Tail Butterfly

chrysalis hibernating fur the winter."

"Lynn put the orange tree up in October.

But the orange glitter acorns don't show up 

in this photo.  Don't think the squirrels

will come in to eat them."

Devil Woman, same cat with them evil eyes

 

"Lynn is hopin' nothin' spooky happens tonight. She's busy humming this silly song."

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you

"I thought I'd give her a bit of a scare furom up high with my

laser lights.  I think I knocked her socks off."

Mackerull guessed 53 butterflies in Aug.

Dream a little dream of me

 "We are doing another sing along fur dreaming.  Lynn often wonders what is going on in my head when I sleep fur hours.  Here's a peek at what I dream."

"I dream of Bob, of the British famous James and Bob.  He's

always dream worthy.  And then there's the doggies that I

think he and I would be able to chase right off if we wanted."

"But the most exciting dreams are of furaway places with wild 

beasts.  There's Antelope and deer and cougars.  Moose and

elks and big horn sheep.  I suppose all these animals just pop

into my dreams 'cause we watch so many PBS animal shows.

I start twitching in my sleep on Lynn's legs and I think I 

must be running and chasing all these.  I am sure I would 

nevfur evfur be afraid."

"I'll try to dream a little dream now.  Maybe a few

bunnies will be in my dream."

"Maybe this Arabesque Orb weaver will make me

think twice 'bout goin' outside.

Don't furgit if yer dreaming of giving Christmas

gifts to go to 

giftingtopia fur all kinds of fun things."

I'm gonna be on the Christmas tree!

 "Lookie at me on my furry own Christmas ornament!"

"See,  that's me up there."

"Lynn has photos of Angels Seney and Suzy Q already

on the tree.  They are in Fancy Feast picture frames."

Suzy Q

"And here is an ornament fur Angel Peepers, too."

"Lynn went internet shoppin' agin.  This time she went to the

"Lynn said it was super easy to do and you know she

is PC illiterate.  Oh, she can read and 'rite and 'rithmatic,

but she uses paper and pen and fingers fur all this."

Thanks for sharing that about me, Precious.

But we are looking forward to hanging these two

on the tree in the months ahead. 

(not ready to think about that actually)

"Lynn says to slow down the season she wants me

to show you these flowers she sees biking."

Which came first, the chicken or the donkey?

 "Lynn,  you got the sayin' wrong.  It's did the chicken or the egg come furst."

Precious,  it has been a couple years since I rode my bike

(on a path not close to home) and saw these critters.

I was glad to see the same 2 donkeys. 

No telling about the chickens,  the ones I saw years ago

may have ended up in the cooking pot.

"If this was one of them burds, it is purrty tasty and tender."
