Saffron isn’t quite as open to petting yet, but today she ate Churu from the tube and that’s a big step forward. She allows some head pets with a wand toy, and now a high value snack directly from me. Slowly but surely these kittens are learning that indoor life with humans can be wonderful.
Turmeric the foster kitten has been enjoying petting with a wand toy the last two days, he now walks up to the kennel side and really leans in to it? I have pet him a few times very briefly with my hands, we’re showing affection and working up to human contact.
A belated Happy 7th Birthday to my Siljan, a kitty we adopted early in the pandemic and who has become a treasured part of the family. He is excellent with all the foster cats, loves David more than food, and occasionally agrees to cuddles with me (aka Spare Human). We heard good things about this catnip ball, and thus far he’s a fan!
Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day, and Caturday! I will now catch up on lots of beasties. Frida was looking mighty fine this week, large and in charge and showing off that belleh.
Nothing heals the heart quite like puppy kisses, thank you Bowie.
George being himself, which is quite silly.
A roomba for the grass, quiet and efficient and goes under trees. Why don’t we have this in the states?
I’m out of town visiting family this week, and hope to sit outside and enjoy many sunsets like this one! No filter, just beauty.
Gitch here also loves drinking from the sink, with parental permission! He may hide from thunderstorms, but this cheers him up.
George here is the first cat I knew requesting faucet water, his humans offer it regularly and he will sit and stare waiting his turn.
I love when cats show me how much they are spoiled, here is Binkey this week asking for the freshest water possible!
Totality video by David, very dark with birds silent and kids going nuts with glee. We got a high from nature!
Woah there, was it windy today! Arlo was up to the challenge, he even thought it fun, but did give me a few looks to double check I was safe. The storm took us from 48 this morning to 20 now and it is still dropping.
Binkey is such a strong cat, for any age, but especially for 15! This guy loves to play, and he also quite likes to demand petting and tuna with his full voice. I follow his direction gladly.
Jack had energy for three loops around the backyard, then in to warm up. He likes winter, but in single digits we keep it brief and play inside and cuddle the rest of the time. That suits us both well.
Lou and his snacks, a 30 second love story.
