Bad Choice

zzz…zzz…zzz…

[Editor: This is not a gargoyle with a fear of heights, not a clog in my neighbor's gutter, but a kitten who has selected the wrong place to nap with a thunderstorm approaching.

The Friday Ark is in dry dock this week.

Another Freeloader

Whireeeeeeee!

[Editor: This Southern Toad [Anaxyrus terrestris] reluctantly moved out of the cat food when I approached. They eat bugs, so I don’t object too much.]

Alone At Last

Stand Back!

[Editor: KT3 has a rare moment when neither Sleepy not Pita is bugging her, and I took a picture with the flash going off without real need.]

Friday Ark

Dot’s Day

Go away!

[Editor: Dot and Sox are still here, but they spend a lot of time sleeping in their undisclosed locations and really don't like the camera which is why I had to use an old picture.]

Friday Ark

It’s Hot!!

You’re sure cats don’t swim?

[Editor: Even Pita had to calm down and take a break after this week's heat indexes.]

Kitten Confusion

Where am I?

[Editor: I shall call this one Bonnie as I first saw it when the storm was approaching. While the leaves are in focus and the step is in focus, Bonnie is not. Of course most kittens start out like this.]

Friday Ark

Too Hot To Move

Zzzzzz…zzzzz…

[Editor: A rerun because everyone is in hiding in a dark if not terribly cool place. The heat index was 117° on Thursday, and while only 108° on Wednesday, the inside cats are recovering from the replacement of the air conditioner that gave up the ghost on Tuesday morning. While the new unit is more efficient, it achieves that by being a steady performer, not an instant cooler. Everyone is a bit cranky around here.]

Morning Routine

Zzzz, zzzz, zzzz…

[Editor: Every morning I have to evict this pile of gray fuzz, Income, from my office chair. The sleeping position may look like an invitation to a tummy rub, but that is contra-indicated unless you subscribe to the old medical practice of bleeding, i.e. IT"S A TRAP! DON"T ATTEMPT IT!.]

Prelude to Attack

Yawn ——— Ready, Set…

[Editor: When I took the picture of Sleepy that I used two weeks ago, I missed Pita in the background. It's hard to see at this resolution but Pita is staring intently (as in, intent to do bodily harm) and I have no doubt that as soon as I left there was an attack.]

Friday Ark

Queen of the Mound

Nom, nom, nom…

[Editor: Tip believes that the only way one can properly appreciate the nuances of wet cat food is by having it spooned onto the top of a rescued "Dogloo".]

Friday Ark

It Moves!!

I need coffee, maybe?

[Editor: Sleepy does do things other than sleep, just not very energetically until the sun is down.]

Friday Ark

It even annoys Dave Barry.
