Yesterday Whoops

Sadly, yesterday was not totally sweet - last night Cyrrie jumped up on the bed - unfortunately just between Petunnia and Buddy - where Petunnia was already feeling stressed (crabby?) by Buddy being too much in her space... Whap! a al Cloud.... Cyrano seemed ok yesterday, but this am there was a little pink line across his nose. (Actually he still seems fine - it's the human who is all freaked out.....)

This AM

Way early, just barely dawnish, there was a little b & w tornado going off in the bedroom. I mean, Buddy is 11/12ish, and there he wuz, going crazy on a little plushy goose... (You go, Buddy!)

Shopping!

I went to the farmer's market today - I usually spend between $5 and $10 on veggies, fruits and plants...

Today I went nuts - bought a bracelet! For $10 whole - it's made out of unakite and goldstone, and very pretty... I'd been seeing unakite in jewelry catalogs for the last couple of years, but only today, when I looked it up online, did I realize that I already had a piece - a little lizard sculpture that I got in Ann Arbor probably 5 or 6 years ago...

They guys are saying, bracelet? sculpture? Is that like a toy? Or, sez Cyrrie, better yet, like food??

Also Blogging

How sweet was everyone today? Way sweet! Super sweet! Mega-sweet! (Is there such a thing as meta-sweet??) Anyway, as I spent the day coming up to date on Sookie Stackhouse, they surrounded me with nudges, nibbles, kisses, kneadings and other assorted versions of, We luvs yu, human girl/mom... This girl is a melted littled puddle of, Aw...........

Just Closed The Window

Damn it! It's warm/cool enough for open windows - and yet stinky stuff in coming in tonight - part wood smoke, part (mostly) chemical - way yucky - when the last of the guys exited the bedroom, I knew - close window, turn on air... Grrr....

Thursday, Already??

Human apologizes - again - the guys have been totally cool - the human is exhausted/pathetic/fill-in-the-blank, etc.

Totally Awesome

I pulled into the driveway just now, and there, hanging with some sparrows, was a rabbit, crunching and munching the bird food! Who knew? I sat in the car a while, watching, not wanting to scare Mr. Bunny, but then someone's car alarm went off, and everybody booked. How cool, though, how utterly cool... :)

Two Crime Scenes In One Morning??

I needed the shower and Cloud wanted a drink. Ordinarily I would have waited for her, but today I had stuff that needed to be rinsed out of my hair, so I moved the special bathtub bowl (for spilling as well as drinking, you know) temporarily to the kitchen. Yes it occured to me that she might spill it, but I told myself she's probably outgrown that by now... Wrong! As you can see...

Perp?

Or accessory after the fact...??

Better Than A Paw Print

An actual paw!

Mugged!

Dirt close-up - searching for paw prints...

Our Window

Note the catnip plants on the upper shelf, safe from cats and "kittens" - or are they? Note the empty red container, and the spilled dirt!

Poppies!

Book, cat, sunshine... heaven.

Enchanting Little Sweetheart

This morning the attic door popped open and out came little Miss Cloud, looking sleepy. She padded down the hall until she got to Buddy, where she paused, sniffed, touched noses and started to wash his face. A little while later she was on the dining room table with Cyrrie, who was asleep on a stack of towels. Because I was closer to Cyrrie, I gave him a kiss and some pets. Cloud joined us, and started to wash my fingers, then continued to wash Cyrrie. She went back and forth between me and her brother, while he purred...

Photo-Tease

I have pics! I do not have batteries... But I have to tell this micro-story: this afternoon, Petunnia and Buddy were sleeping together on the bed - not cuddling, mind, but close, like as in an inch or so apart. I ran for the camera. In the 2 seconds it took me, Petunnia woke up and moved about a yard away! I ask you, are some little people too image-conscious, or what?

To Post? Or Not To Post

Iz a question. Pod Cloud looks especially crazed, and Cyrrie, really, what is he up to...?

Cat Fight

I hate to tattle on them, but, for whatever reason, this morning Aretoo and Angel had a serious spat. The noise level / content was different, and when I clapped at them they just kept at it. Angel was getting the worst of it (right, all AreToo had to do was sit on him) and when I tried to pry them apart still nothing happened. This was because Aretoo's claw was seriously stuck in Angel's side. Mom cuddled the poor little thing for a long time, while the poor little thing himself seemed confused by the fuss. Shortly thereafter all was back to normal, including, of course, Angel pouncing on poor little thing Cyrrie...

Feets!

Oh, Well, If You Must

Dis my good side...

This Morning (Not A Unique Title, Evidently)

But anyway, this am: I was at the computer, sipping my first cup of coffee, with cats and "kittens" behind me in the garden window. All of a sudden there's growling, and a stampede! If this had happened in the front of the house, it would have been because of the mail-person, or similar. But when I peered near-sightedly into the backyard, there was nothin' and no one... A little bit weird. Creepy. Whatever. But at least the guard cats/"kittens" were on the job....

Homage To Christy

Commencement Blogging

We were rained on (briefly). The wind was freezing (not briefly). I am probably permanently deafened from sitting near the loudspeakers. But in the end the sun came out, and the campus was gorgeous, and the students were great...

Yesterday

I was gone close to 14 hours, and when I finally got home I did the usual - pets all around - check on crunchies, water, litter levels... Then I got undressed and settled in to read in bed for a while. Lucy joined me first, and there was definitely something reproachful about the way she cuddled, purred and generally fussed. Then Angel joined us, and he was all like, Yeah, you tell her, Luz! And then Petunnia came and paced irritably until she could worm her way in between Lucy and la human. Disgusted, Lucy left, but was back almost immediately - you could almost see the thought bubble, Wait a minute, why am I leaving?? We were all very peaceful after that...

Beatles!

I'm listening to Mike Malloy on internet radio - and all the bumper music is Beatles... Yes, I'm old, but it's also such great music...
