Category — Cat Blogging

Dot April, 1998 – December, 2011

My first picture of her on the blog, and the best picture of her large golden eyes and pink nose, which were often the first things I saw in the morning.

New Guy?

Just resting … really

[Editor: While I have seen him before, this is the first picture of another cat who is stopping by to eat lately. I assume that like The Big Tipper, he was abandoned when his family had to leave.

Heat!

Is that really the sun?

[Editor: Ringo has found a sunny spot in the driveway and has no intention of giving it up.

Chilling

Where’s the sun?

[Editor: Tonto is at her favorite sunny spot, but the sun is behind the total overcast of this week’s cold front. She and I are both feeling the North wind, which is why this has been so delayed.

Candlelight Dining

Nom…nom…nom…

[Editor: Lucrezia chows down in the darkness caused by the clouds at twilight. A cold front moved through and things are getting brisk.

Disappointment

Hey, where’s dinner?

[Editor: ‘Toes’ Underhouse is disappointed that I left the house in the afternoon and wasn’t dropping wet food about. He is the most vocal of the ferals, especially if food is involved.

I’m Not Evil

It’s only the black cats that are evil… well, and the fluffy white cats who hang around with evil geniuses… OK, so some people are nervous about calicos… I guess Ted means you have to include the tuxedo cats… but no one thinks brown and beige tabbies are evil.

[Editor: Ted is found at Poor Mouth , and he is proud to be listed with evil cats everywhere. Despite appearances Excise is more of a klutz that evil… I mean: is that face evil? Really? You think so?

The Underhouse Family Dinner

Quick, he’s watching!

[Editor: All three surfaced from under the house to grab some grub [spoonfuls of wet cat food], before retiring to their seclusion.

No Clue

What was that?!

[Editor: The Big Tipper was not prepared for the flash, and dashed off immediately afterwards. It’s cold and the others are in hiding.

Note: It is late because it has been cold and the cats were hiding and so was I. Then M$ and HP decided to battle over how the same down-load process that has worked forever would work today which required downloading drivers from both until I found one that the camera liked. This is ‘Plug ‘n Play’ – Plug it in and play around on the ‘Net to get it to work.

Photo Shoot

Are we done?

[Editor: Ringo is actually being very patient, as I took a dozen shots before I got one of her actually looking at me… almost.

Froggy and the Pond

Ribbit?

[Editor: The temperature is back up, so the cats are looking for shade. Froggy decided that the edge of the pond is a pretty good place.

Executive Lunch

Again with the box …

[Editor: The Big Tipper is unconcerned as the alpha tom, Blaze, and the alpha female, Tonto [with her back to the camera] meet over lunch at my neighbors. As a result of the latest ‘election’ for his position, Blaze has acquired a scar over his left eye to match the one over his right.

Introducing …

Buzz off!

[Editor: The Big Tipper. He is not a feral cat. He is probably an abandoned cat, left behind when someone moved, or dumped. It is all too common these days. He has been around a while, but I only see him near sun down, which is why the flash went off. Fortunately, as a tom, he can stay. Females are chased off by the ferals.]

Practice Makes Perfect

All I need is a black mask…

[Editor: Lucrezia is thinking of trick-or-treating as a raccoon this year.]
