Waiting for Good Food
When you get a moment, OK?
[Editor: Ringo is most assuredly not on the hunt – it is too hot. She is patiently waiting for me to put wet food in the dish. She knows I am to her side, but maintains her watch on the wet food dish.]

Chillin’
Hot enough for you?
[Editor: CC finds some shade under an ornamental palm during another triple-digit afternoon. {That’s not actually a palm, but a Cycas revoluta.}]

A Better Outlook
Arrrggg?
[Editor: Cap’n Kitt’s eye is much improved, but he’s a bit ‘groggy’ because I woke him for the picture.]

Tonto’s Kitten
Oh, hi!
[Editor: Tonto’s kitten made an unanticipated visit to my Mother’s kitchen, but didn’t go beyond the rug, as Tonto stood outside being annoyed. The kitten is still in the roly-poly stage at about 5 weeks when the picture was taken.]

On Guard
Don’t move.
[Editor: Tonto is on watch outside my Mother’s kitchen door. She has one or more kittens somewhere in the vicinity, as she has reappeared at the evening feeding after an absence. She is watching me and then watching an azalea, so I assume the litter is in the bushes.]

Molly 1994-2011
It is time.
[Editor: Molly was a yearling when Hurricane Opal hit in 1995, but she made it through outside, as well as all of the others that have hit us. As she was always tolerant of people, she was spayed early, which is probably the main reason for her longevity. Despite having neither sisters nor daughters to back her, she made her way through the hierarchy of the local clan to become the alpha female over all of the families.
She suffered a stroke at the beginning of April, and went into hiding for two days. After she returned, I supplied her with special food, and she was adapting to getting about despite some paralysis on her right side. Then this past weekend she decided it was time and left to find the bridge.
She will be missed.]

At Last
You looking at me?
[Editor: And I shall call this one S.U., for Specialist Underhouse, because the facial markings look like the Army’s Specialist stripes, and this is the second of the two cats that have spent their lives under my house.]

A ‘Brave’ Front
No sense of humor.
[Editor: Brave is taking a break from annoying other cats, after nearly getting gutted attempting to engage Molly and Ringo in a little “rough and tumble”. Neither was amused. Extra points for athleticism in aborting attacks at the last second.]

What Were They Thinking?
A sinking Titanic as a cat tower?
The CBC tells us that a U.K. house cat’s purr may be world’s loudest: “A British community college has recorded a house cat named Smokey whose lawnmower-like purr hit 73 decibels — 16 times louder than the average feline.”
The EPA has found that ambient sound levels above 70 decibels may result in “hearing loss, annoyance and activity interference”, but YMMV.

Slumming
Nom, nom, nom …
[Editor: Since the weather turned nice, Ringo spends almost no time inside, even to eat, so she depends on the fare at the feral feeding stations. What looks like saw dust is actually the dropped dry flowers of the camphor tree. Everything gets covered with the flowers and the yellow pollen. It is an improvement over what happens to the tree’s purple berries after being processed by hordes of robins.]

Just Flight
Got to go …
[Editor: This grainy picture was taken at long distance of a yearling feral who has spent most of its life a step away from me, but that I almost never see as anything other than a blur. This is one of two kittens who were raised and live under my house, but run whenever they see me. While the facial markings are similar to Tip, Tip is spayed and both inherited the markings from the Grey-nose Tom. Some day I may get a picture of the littermate, but it will be another accident.]
