Thursday in the Garden with Simba

As I think I have told you before, Dad likes a natural look to our garden, and in some cases he takes this to the extreme. I was checking things recently and see that the bottom branches of this evergreen tree are not at all green! C'mon, Dad, time to do a little trimming and cleanup work on this tree!

Mind you, it is a good place for me to get into to make it more difficult for Mom to pick me up when she wants me to go inside again. I am quite crafty at finding those types of spots. I also have perfected the HISS when she goes to pick me up.

  1. Great idea to climb up in those branches. Sometimes when I don't get my own way I hiss too - mama says I shouldn't backchat whatever that means.

  2. Our Dad is like that, too. But we don't get to go out.

  3. Aw, Simba, you hiss at your Mom when she tries to take you indoors? She just wants to keep you safe. Be nice!

  4. I am certain the natural look is the male's excuse for letting the garden go...

  5. You actually hiss at your Mom? The most I have ever done is give her the flattened ears and warning meow. Mom can't just stuff my pills down my throat because I use my claws on her when she tries it. I don't scratch, just poke holes in her hand. She got four of them the last time she tried that. I actually prefer the baby food/pill syringe, even though it tastes horrible. Mom always gives me lots of treats and petting right afterward, so I tolerate it.

  6. Our dad does the same thing but we just look at our garden from inside the house. You look too sweet to hiss at your mom!

  7. I'll hiss at my mom sometimes when she makes me go back in the house. Doesn't she know how much I love being outside??

  11. It's hard keeping beans in order ~ they make all sorts of excuses to avoid gardening tidying up.

  12. Dead tree branches or not, you look lovely today. Maybe that's why your mommy doesn't want you to get lost. She loves you loads!
    Have a good weekend.
