Winter has come, so the plants needed to come in from outside. Nine thinks that is just great. New plaything: Let’s dig! Let’s scratch! If you look halfway up the trunk of the fig tree (ficus benjamina), you will see gnarls from cats-past who also found the fig tree a great scratching post during the winter. BTW, this fig tree is at least 25 years old.
One day I will be able to sit down and watch TV without a million paws asking for something. To the right of me was Louise, begging in her cute ‘please Mommy’ way for a cookie. What you don’t see is a moment before she was pawing at my leg relentlessly. I don’t know about you but I have these long black and blue marks down my thighs, and then I remember it was Louise.
To the left of me was Mini Cooper. Wanting my endless attention, all the time these days. Sometimes I notice these little scratches all over my legs and tummy and realize, oh yes, Mini was kneading me.
Then I turn away and it is Charles now on my left, who has rousted Mini because he was jealous and wants to make sure no one gets more attention than him. At least, the little man doesn’t leave any marks.
There is a new monster in town for Halloween. They call him, King Tut. He is a mummy.
Well, he doesn’t scare me! I can sleep through anything (except dogs barking or people coming in the house that I don’t know or loud trucks outside or….) – Nine
September came and went. In the flash of an eye, we went from the heat of summer to the chill of fall. I love fall and so do the animals. Cool walks and neat smells. We hope you enjoy this quick review of September.
We have a new grandcat, his name is Freddie Purcury. He is about 9 weeks old. My other grandcat, Hazel, seems to be tolerating him so far. What a bundle of energy. Such a ginger-boy! Love love love love love! K8 is head over heels in love with him. I think he is going to be one of those ‘always in trouble’ little boys. How fun!
