Photo Hunt - Together


This photo is a repost of one from a couple of weeks ago, but it seems so good for the theme.

Thursday in the Garden with Simba and Audrey

::3 Paw taps::
First of all, I just want to say I hope that Jonesie, the founder of the Society of Feline Gardeners, is feeling better from her horrible encounter and will be out in her garden today.
There are many plants to check out on our deck, but one of the favorites is, of course, the catnip.   Mom caught sight of an introoder kitty early one morning checking it out too but he ran off very fast.

Simba is giving it a really good sniff here.

But now for a surprise: look at the amazing Moth who visited our kitchen window today: here it is seen from the inside

And this is what it looks like from outside.   

It is large, about 3 inches across.  It seems to be a Luna Moth.  We have never ever seen one before and Mom and Dad are quite amazed by it.

OH, and finally, as you can see in the picture of Audrey, we got her a collar of her own, and got her license from the town: she is number 018 (if you remember, Simba is 007).    Mom says most of the humans in town must be keeping their kitties a secret because there cannot possibly only be 16 kitties other than us who live here.

Mouse Tales on Tuesday

Mom and Dad have a Mac laptop computer but Dad prefers to use a wireless mouse instead of the trackpad, so on the desk next to the computer is a spot where the mouse stays.     Last night Dad went to use the computer and he said "where's the mouse?"   Now Mom thought he meant Audrey's small mouse with the leather tail, like the one that ended up in the toilet. So she looked in the cardboard box where they toss the current cat toys, which was on the floor near Dad's feet.    I guess somebody had been playing with more than one mouse.

Not So Manly Monday


So Audrey and I play a lot of chase games and sometimes I am the pursuer and sometimes she is chasing ME.      The other day she was chasing me and I went into the cube to escape from her - Mom says I NEVER go in the cube!      It has been unused for years and she got it out again to see if Audrey would play in it.   I do look a bit wimpy in this picture, don't I?

Easy Sunday

Dad suggested yesterday that we should have done a post titled Sweltering Saturday.   Mom said the topic of the heat had  been overworked, and would be hard to use for Sunday because the temperature was finally supposed to start going down.   Saturday's high was about 99-100F (with those numbers I shouldn't have to put the F in!) whereas Sunday's predicted to have a high of 92.   Like a fresh spring day by comparison.  So we will call it Not So Sweltering Sunday.   Here's how we plan to spend it:


I guess I did do a post on the topic of the heat after all!

Photo Hunt - Patch


Audrey and I both have white patches on our throats and tummies.   Because Audrey is less floofy than me, hers are more defined:  this photo is from Christmastime when she was still living with her former Mom.

Here are her tummy patches:


And 'cause it is MY blog, here is a pretty good view of my throat patch from last winter:
