Earning Our Keep

" One day these critters

have got to learn

to earn their keep

and stop laying around

when I am doing 

laundry",

Friday Morning Visitors

Friday morning mom

looked out the living room

window and saw a buck.

However, upon looking closer

she saw two bucks that

put on a show but was

not aware of it.

Mom explained to us

that during the 

months of Oct., Nov.,

and Dec., bucks

act crazy cause it is

prime mating season.

These two were

clanking together

their antlers. 

Mom said she heard

that clanking when she

snuck out on the porch

for these pics. 

See the doe across the

street? There were

two doe's and

two fawns.

Then they heard her.

After looking at mom 

for a minute, they 

lowered their heads and

headed across the street.

Great visitors to the yard.

Big Camera Worthy

Mom thought that

I looked some adorable

she pulled out

the big camera.

Napping Upside Down

Since mom, moved all 

the clothes out

of her closet

there is a lot of 

room. She has a cedar

chest in there and she 

threw a cat bed in 

there, I have been running

off during the day

and napping in the 

closet.

Mom had to laugh cause

I never lay like this

unless I am on her chest.

She also told me to tell

you that since it was dark

in there, she had to flash 

me, and I look

evil with shinning eyes!

Light Watching and Dozing

I love mom but

she does like to 

take pics of

us furs!

Last night I curled

up on her and after

she finished taking

pics, I went to sleep.

But first, I had to figure

out the light on 

the ceiling.

Mom had the light on 

the end table on and 

it was reflecting on 

the ceiling.

See, I told you, I 

finally dozed off.

I slept good on mom

till she told me she

had to go to 

the bathroom.

DARN!

Keeping Warm all Together

 We are not a fan

of the cooler morns,

but mom seems to like 

it cause it brings 

us all together.

Hi, this is Misty, see my

gray ear in the bottom

right of the pic...

THATS ME!

Hey, this is Lily,

I am tucked behind

mom's knees. I was

comfy and warm.

Hello folks, I am not

a big cuddle animal but

I like being around mom.

I am in my spot at

the end of moms feet.

Thanks for stopping

in and checking on us,

Misty.

Lily,

and

Visitors Yesterday Evening

FUN...

Look what came

visiting yesterday

evening!

They did not get 

any closer but

mom took these

pics from the deck.

 

They sure are BIG!

Misty

 

Sleeping

 

I have taken over the 

chair in the living room.

See the pad mom 

got that helps keep me

warm. It's a cat warming

pad. 

Mom can't understand

how I sleep with my head

up and no support. 

But I was sleeping

really good.

Lily

Getting Warm

 

Morning time with mom.

I went out on the deck

and got a tad cool

so, I came in to get

warm!

Misty

The Main Coon

 

(pic from internet)

Mom was excited this morn

when she went out

on the deck to see 

why Lily was running

from one side to the other~

The Main Coon was

in the yard, just

passing through. Mom

was not sure what cat

that was when she

saw it but when it turned

she was pretty sure

it was that babe.

Why was mom and Lily

excited? We have not seen

this babe since the beginning

of summer. 

However, mom is not

thrilled that she

has not seen the gray and 

white since last week 

when there was a Bobcat

reported in the area and 

it was behind the house

making a horrible, low,

loud, big meow sound.

We hope that babe is 

okay. 

Misty

The Feral Home

 👀

Look what out mommy

made. 

Its a cat house and 

not for us.

Its for the two

feral that live

up above us somewhere.

Mom took a plastic 

toto container and

cut a hole in it.

She did not want the cats

to get scratched when

they went in so

she cut a pool noodle

to fit. 

She ended up covering

to noodle in 

Duct tape to 

keep it from getting 

wet and to 

protect it.

Then she lined the inside

with some styrofoam

that the lady up 

the street gave mom.

Taped it in.

She also covered 

the inside of

the pool noodle

with tape.

Then she put

some straw another

lady in the hood

gave mom.

She walked up the

backyard hill and 

went into the little

section of woods.

And found the perfect

place to put the

tote down.

She put rocks on top to 

keep it from

blowing away.

The lid is also taped

in place.

This is where mom 

left the tote.

Mom said she also 

threw some 

catnip in there to 

help draw the cats. 

Mom has been worried

about them living in 

the cold, snow and rain.

But she is also concerned

cause she did not see

the two feral through the 

summer, but about a month

ago the white and gray

showed up.

She has not seen the 

Maine Coon.

However, her concern

has gotten stronger, since

last week.

One night last week, 

mom heard a HORRIBLE

noise. Like a cat 

doing that low meow,

but it sounded like a big

cat. Come to find

out that it was a Bobcat

that was spotted up there.

Mom has not seen the 

gray and white since. 

We all hope that both

the feral are okay.

Caught Again

 Caught loving on mom .........

again!

Misty

Familiar and Traveling Glove

 I am my 

mom's familiar.

Mom keeps hiding 

the gloves from me,

she says that she will

need them soon with 

winter coming up!

My stash is

getting less and less

to pick from.

 

Misty

I Trust

 Well, you know I

was totally

comfy when

mom snuck 

this pic.

Belly showing, curled

all around like I 

am a contortionist.

For folks that don't 

know cats, this is not

an invite to pet 

that belly, it just

shows that I a comfy, 

I know I am safe and

I trust you.

Lily

 

Snuggles and Cuddles

 

I am finding that 

I am not the biggest

fan of cooler temps!

But mom is soaking it

all up with 

the snuggles and 

cuddles I keep 

giving her.

Update on Chey...

meds are making a big

difference. 

She seems to be feeling

lots better.

She said to tell

you all thank you

for your kind words.

Misty

Took a Trip

 I had to make a

trip to the 

VET....

I have a UTI.

Mom got me meds

but as of yet she

has not given 

them to me.

Chey

UPDATE~

this is mom...

she is getting them, 

she just don't know it.

They are crushed and

mixed with her meal or

treats. 

NO A CLUE...

Pam

Accident with the Yarn

 OOPS!

Mom, I did not

mean to 

get wrapped up 

in your yarn.

It was an accident.

Chey

Dew Claw on Approval and Cuddling

Seriously mom, do you

think I will let you

crochet?

I love that yarn

moving and I love

to try and catch it!

Mom waited me out,

till I went out on the 

deck and she finished

up her project.

But then I had to 

check it out. 

I gave my thumbs, 

(dew claw ) the up 

sign.

Like I have reported

before, I am not 

really liking the 

cooler temps. So I have

been doing a lot 

more cuddling on 

mom.

SHE IS WARM!!!

She laughs at me though

cause I find the funniest

ways to cuddle.

I finally fell asleep after

mom snapped these

pics and I stayed that way

for an hour.
