It is not often that Stella slows down enough for me to get a decent picture. If you remember, she is not in the general house population of cats so catching her in pictures takes some determined effort on my part. She lives in her own room and that is the way she likes it. Occasionally. Louise or Sofie will visit, but she hates Charles, and she does not get along with any of the cats. By herself, she is a sweet girl who will sit on your lap for hours if you let her. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I guess this solitary life leaves her with a lot to say.

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

June was a good month for flowers and nice walks with Mom.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

It is funny where cats choose to sleep. This was Nine’s favorite perch (in the cat area right behind the couch – aka the dining room). But for several months after we got the giant cat-tree, he ignored it. V said, maybe get rid of it. It wobbles and we have no idea how safe it is; it easily falls over and many a morning I will find it laying down on the ground.
But just the other day, he started sleeping in it again. Every night this week. while we watch TV he has cuddled up and slept there. It is hard to throw anything out at this Zoo because everything seems to get a new life after awhile.
Throw or keep?

We know that we should prune the big tree because the branches are now over the house and hitting the picture window, but it has allowed such an incredible experience for the cats and us since birds are sitting right up at the window. Even squirrels come and look in on us and hop around at eyes view. We haven’t pruned it because the cost is so astronomical but we know we will have to soon. In the meanwhile, Mini is mesmerized.

How come cats are so cute when they sleep? I am sure that I am not so cute. I probably have drool on the side of my mouth and I snore. Cat snores are cute, human snores – no way! And they never wake up with a single hair out of place – that is just not fair.

If I have to be stuck in quarantine, at least I am blessed to be with the best group of crazy animals on the planet.

Because I worked from home for over 25 years (when I wasn’t on a plane somewhere), I was able to surround myself with a herd of rescues, all who were used to me being available to them as a lap, as a feeder, and a walker. Then, 15 months ago, when I started working in an office, our home life changed totally. I had to bring in dog walkers during the day and had less time to be there for cuddles and care. But, the gift of COVID-19 quarantine brought me back to working from the house once again. And now, I am not sure that they will ever let me go back to the office.
I just read that 54% of the people surveyed said they would like to continue to work from home at least part of the time when they are allowed to return to their workplace. What about you? Do you want to stay home with the puppies?
