Froggie Speed Nomming

Nomnomnomnom..

[Editor: Knowing that the others will appear as soon as I leave the area, Froggie works on getting as much of the ‘Mixed Grill’ as possible.]

The Hermit At Rest

You looking at me?

[Editor: Hermit was the only one around when I had the camera out, but Tip and Weasel wandered by later. In my neighborhood we have had only one day without rain this month, so the cats are not out and about.]

Froggie Sejant

Burrrrrrrp!

[Editor: Froggie pauses to digest dinner.]

Cat Contourné Statant Regardant

Hey!

[Editor: Hermit is yelling at nothing which is an appropriate attitude for coats of arms. I won’t be describing all future cats in heraldic terms because Couchant and Dormant would just about cover them.]

Friday Ark

Door Guard

Do you have a pass?

[Editor: Property has started sitting on a bookcase by the door out of the computer room and swatting me if I don’t stop and scratch her head.]

Froggy Weather II

So, this is sunshine…

[Editor: Froggy was outside earlier this week on the day the sun appeared for a short time. We were actually without rain for three days, but were rescued from the possible death of the mildew when it started raining again yesterday.]

[Note: Our average rainfall for the entire month of July is 6.18 inches. So far through today we have had 8.67 inches.]

Froggy Weather

Where’s the food?

[Editor: Froggy is the only cat I’ve seen outside in the last three days. It stopped raining long enough for me to fill the feeding stations.]

Chillin’

Hot…it’s really hot

[Editor: Hermit it stretching out on my neighbor’s patio to avoid fleas and take advantage of the shade.]

Ringo

I vant to be alone…

[Editor: This is a rerun because days of thunderstorms are keeping everycat in hiding. It has been a while since I’ve seen Ringo, which is normal for her after she was ‘imprisoned’ in the house for so long. She takes off somewhere, and then wanders back when she feels like it.]

No Respect

Hee…Hee…Hee…

[Editor: JR pulled a fast one on me, turning his back when I hit the shutter. I ignored it as I thought I had an nice shot of the Hermit, but the light conditions slowed down the shutter and I blurred the shot.]

Friday Ark

Sharing

Nom…nom…nom…

[Editor: Froggie and JR put aside their differences to share a meal. They are the two loudest cats around – Froggy’s Harley purr, and JR’s squeaky toy meowing.]

Busy, Busy

Did you want something?

[Editor: Froggie pauses on her hunt for something to chase, to see if I’m doing anything interesting.]

Friday Ark

He has lost a lot of weight in the last year, but was still eating like his old self. I haven’t posted any pictures of him because he looked gaunt, rather than his former roly-poly self.

Yesterday he didn’t eat in the morning, but bounced back in the afternoon, so I thought his stomach was upset. He also stopped grooming recently which is a bad sign. Then today he lost strength in his rear legs and fell from the chest he normally sleeps on.

It was probably a stroke, but whatever the cause he stopped eating, refusing food all day, and making futile attempts to regain the top of the chest.

It was time and putting it off wouldn’t make it easier for either one of us.

Hermit Crab

Go away!

[Editor: Hermit is definitely not happy that I discovered where she hangs out.]
