A. 12 lbs

Even though I have a fairly large frame, a lot of me is floof, and floof doesn't weigh that much. But even Mom is always surprised that I don't weigh more because my legs look so fat. We tried to throw you off by making the right answer the lowest. Did it work?

Thanks for playing! Hope everybody is getting mentally ready for "back to school"!

Tuesday Test

No new picture today, but a short multiple choice test. Choose one of the 4 answers, so you have a 25% chance of being right just by guessing. That is pretty easy! Good MC questions should have 5 choices. This is an "open book" test so you may look back at past photos of me in deciding your answer.

Question: Rounded off to the nearest half pound, how much does Simba weigh? (Mom did my weight by "difference" on the human scale and it only does whole pounds and half pounds).

a) 12 lb
b) 13 lb
c) 13.5 lb
d) 14 lb

For my overseas friends who do kitty weights in grams, 1000g = 2.2 lbs (1kg = 2.2 lb)

Mancat Monday

I know posting all these photos of me exploring outside, and the garage and so forth, makes it seem like I get to go free a lot. Actually the pictures from the last several days were all taken on one excursion by my Dad, but because they are fun pictures, I am using them in several different posts.


After circuiting the house, I returned to the front steps. I like to look and listen to all the stuff going on up the road, at a house where there are some kids. Kids make interesting sounds with their playing. Our actual street is only one block long, and has very very little car traffic. And I never go towards it, not ever. The boy who lives in the neighbors' house has an electric scooter that he rides up and down the street. Mom says she would like one of those to get from the parking lot to her building at work!

Sunday Sniffing

I think I will spend some time today checking out the Garage, if I can. I don't usually go in there, but recently Dad had some things "unarranged" to paint the stairway leading into the house so no cars are in there. Lots to sniff and check out.

I think it's time to do some real "arranging" in there. Even I know that garages are supposed to have cars in them, and I only ever remember there being one car in this two-car garage! And yesterday they were out shopping for a potential NEW car. They were discussing some shelving units from Costco. Good idea, Dad!

PhotoHunt - Hanging

We have several Hummingbird feeders on our deck. Three of them are of this type with the little test tubes. They usually work very well, because Dad can freshen the sugar water often with the small tubes.

However, for some reason, this year we have had virtually no hummingbirds visiting our feeders. It may have to do with when Dad was first able to put the feeders out, which was later than usual due to their trips in May and June. Dad is not giving up, and hopes that we will start to see some when they begin migrating. But he has been pretty sad, because he really loves watching them and feels good about providing them with some fresh food and water.

Friend on Friday

This little visitor has decided to hang out in our yard again sometimes. With the stone walls and trees, our yard is very good for chipmunks, and we have quite a few chipmunk tunnels in the front yard. Little Cow Kitty knows they sometimes come up through that space under the stone in the walkway. She is ever so patient. I think she is pretty cute but she is also quite shy. We have never seen her actually CATCH a chipmunk.

Thursday in the Garden with Simba

The other day Dad was supervising me in the garden and had the camera with him, and he let me go all the way to the Back Wall of our property. The back boundary line is an old stone farm wall. I felt very important. Look how big the wall is compared to me! It does a pretty good job of keeping me from wandering to the back neighbors' yard.

After a little more exploring and a few more pictures, spoilsport Mom said I had to come in. But then she gave me Party Mix and that made it all okay.

Some Words Wednesday

Simba: Mom wants to say something.

Mom: I don't understand the function of the curtain in these pictures. Simba sleeps behind the curtain nearly every day during the middle of the day only. Sometimes the head is out, sometimes not.

Simba: I'm not sayin' nuthin'. It's Wordless Wednesday.

Great List!
