Glad I Had A Camera Handy
Without the photographic proof, Lori would have never believed this if I told her that Meg and Artie were peacefully sleeping together in the same bed. Usually if these two get close to each other they start doing an impression … Continue reading →
Sacked out kitties
I was working late tonight. Everyone else was on the futon. Lori enjoying her Harry Potter book, and the kitties all doing what they do best.
Vole
The average vole only lives 3-6 months, and with Artie around, that can be reduced significantly. He’s been a hunting terror lately so we decided we’d keep track for the month. So far, this was the second kill of the … Continue reading →
Rescue Effort
Artie came in the house today with his normal successful hunt meow. When I turned around to see what he had caught this time I saw that it was a hummingbird and it was still alive. I got it out … Continue reading →
Artie the Destroyer
I was sitting on the couch watching TV when Artie came in and went into the kitchen. That’s his usual behavior because that’s where the food bowl is. Meg jumped off the couch and went over and stared at him. … Continue reading →
Class Clown

Artie’s New Chair
Paula came to visit last weekend and left a couple of her folding camp chairs. Artie immediately realized how well the black and red of the chair looks so well with the black and white of his fur, and so … Continue reading →
Down and Out
Last week I had what seemed to be a cold, and just as it seemed like I was getting over that I came down with the flu that’s also been making its way around the county. Spent a couple days … Continue reading →
Lazy Sunday
ust another picture of the cats doing what they do best. While they were being lazy, I spent more time with the chain saw cutting the willow tree into smaller and smaller pieces.
Working in the Garden
oday was a nice day to be outside working in the garden. Or not. Artie figured that if it is called a raised bed, it must be a nice place for a nap.
Artie Kicking Back
Here is an example of why I’m really having fun with my new pocket camera. I didn’t have to risk disturbing Artie to get this picture. I just reached down to my hip, unholstered my W10, and shot him. Times … Continue reading →
The Cat Box
Look what the UPS guy brought today! Artie found the packaging materials made excellent pillows, but then he’s a very relaxed cat and could probably sleep anywhere. I picked up the whole box and brought it into the TV room … Continue reading →
Cleaning Up My Dump
Construction on my long delayed garage remodel is finally supposed to start this week. That meant I had to clean up the wood pile that had been building in the area in front of it. Took me the whole weekend, … Continue reading →
Artie’s Feast
Artie saw all of us making pigs of ourselves all weekend, so he decided on having his own feast. He caught one of the biggest gophers I’ve seen in our yard and quickly devoured most of it. And then came … Continue reading →
Farty Artie
When Artie first came to visit our house, he had a wound on his tail, and it never really healed. Last week it seemed like it was getting infected, so we took him to the vet, and while he was … Continue reading →
Artie
Well it’s official, we’re back to being a four cat household. Back in May I introduced the cat on the right and over the last few months he has made himself more at home with us. We finally found the … Continue reading →
Ricky’s New Toy
A few weeks ago this kitten started showing up in our yard when we were out gardening. Then we would come home to find it playing out in the yard with Ricky. Soon they were unseparable. I think Ricky is … Continue reading →
