10/07/2024 – Multi Visitor Monday

We’ve been visited by lots of neighborhood kitties lately. We think they’re fattening up on kibble we leave out during the day for wandering wanderers like one of the Berry cats here. He and his sibling BlueBerry 1 actually allowed Mom to pet him the other day probably because she had dried chicken catnip treat smells on her fingers. After that, he was gone like a shot. So typical.

Or maybe BlueBerry took off because KeeKee then popped through the opening in the fence and saw someone was snorting up his favorite catnip treat in all the world. KeeKee is definitely not one who shares and doesn’t like other cats, apparently, if we’re to believe his airplane ears of contempt.

Not too much later, Lloyd stopped by, took one look at BlueBerry and KeeKee giving each other the glare and said, “No problem. I’ll come back another time.”

The white and tan dove is still visiting our garden every day. Sometime he brings dove friends. Sometimes he enjoys his alone time. We try not to bother him too much and he seems to like it here. Someone who works with Mom said that a visiting white dove absolutely means hope and good fortune are on the horizon.

Okay. See you again tomorrow, pretty bird.

10/04/2024 Finally Friday

Tessa, newly minted Guarder of All Toys, glares at someone. But who? Some sneaky cat coming to get a whiff of a stripy ball or plastic ring? How dare they! Nothing like a good old Tessa glare to change that plan. But who gets the glare today?

Was it Pia?

Was it Pia coming to take a purple catnip pillow or feather ball? Pia can be awfully stealthy, especially with her thick underpaw fur. She’s a quiet as an ant.

Was it Quint and his quiet ways? He could sneak a toy out of the toy boxes under watchful eyes at exactly the right moment and you’d never see it happen. Quint has great timing that way.

Was it Viola who was hard at work all summer long learning the ways of The Tessa Glare, and coming along nicely, if we do say so ourselves.

Yes, it was I, but not to nab a toy. I wanted to give my big sister a taste of her own glare. Dad says I don’t quite have The Look yet because of my age but I’m getting there!

Wishing Viola and all Niblets near and far a very Happy 11th Birthday today. Sending kisses on the winds to find you all. And another million kisses to you, sweet Viola. Happy Birthday!
