Air Conditioning

Turn it off!

[Editor: I assume it is because of her age, but Dot really doesn’t like the AC, even though I have it at 78°. As you can see, if you are a cat owner, she has gone “rabbit”, as if she were freezing. She could just lay atop one of the system units, but she would rather nag.]

Physics

!!Banzai!!…!NOOOO!…[THUD]

[Editor: This the beginning of an action sequence as Excise learned that two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. He was attempting to jump down to the top of a small bookcase to the right while Sox was already airborne for the same landing site. He learned that Sox has more mass. Fortunately for Sox, the collision with Excise prevented him from sliding off the top of the bookcase, the normal result when he jumps up there. Only dignity was injured in this post.]

In Memoriam

Feak 1989-2008

Moi at Bloggg has had to say goodbye to her friend of twenty years: Feak 1989-2008.

Feak was a fluffy blue with an attitude.

Dirty Picture

Want to see my scar?

[Editor: Actually it has been in the upper 80s lately, and I avoid turning on the AC until the computer starts kicking in the main fan, so Property was just trying to cool off. She was so distracted she forgot to close her eyes.]

[yaawwwnnn]

[Editor: Ms Gruntled is not very happy “babysitting” Wonder, a neighbor’s cat. While she doesn’t generally approve of frivolity, annoying Wonder by dragging on his leash has a certain appeal, but only if he wants to move.]

Income has been a bit odd since coming back from the vet’s.

End of a Lifestyle II

Well, Excise didn’t think it was so bad.

[Editor: It is Income’s turn to be a “retired gentleman cat” and in the grand tradition of fraternity initiation, Excise didn’t tell his brother what would happen.]

Friday Ark

It didn’t work for Excise, so it won’t work for Income.

End of a Lifestyle

I wonder what tutored means?

[Editor: The next time he appears, Excise will be a “retired gentleman cat”.]

Surprised Cat

Oh my!

[Editor: There is something about the shape, size, and placement of this juvenile’s eyes that makes it look like everything is a shock to her.]

Feline Hierarchy

Wait your turn.

[Editor: this accidentally shows the structure of feral society. On the top level are Molly eating from the bowl as befits her status as senior alpha, and she shares the level with The Lone Ranger, the local alpha. On the next level in the center is Tonto, TLR’s sister. On the right is Tip who is an adult female, and on the left are Ms Gruntled and Baldy, juvenile females. Waiting for a chance to eat is the Gray-nosed Cat, the senior tom.]

Send some positive vibes to LabKat, JS, and Coby. Coby is undergoing surgery for a problem, and the procedure is complicated by his other medical conditions.

Tax Day

Borrring

[Editor: This is my tax return from last year.]

Ready For Launch

These cats need some discipline.

[Editor: Ringo sweeps back her ears in preparation to go zooming off. As the weather has improved she spends more time outside.]

Ms Gruntled

I told you leaves were no fun.

[Editor: This is the youngest feral around, and she doesn’t approve of much. A litter mate was chasing everything in the yard and she just sat there. Some cats are born old.]
