Sunday, and Maybe Some Rain?

We would really like some rain, as there has been a drought all summer long.  Supposedly, we are to expect some this afternoon, in fact- due in a couple of hours - we shall find out soon.

Mindy

 I really love flowers.  They are sometimes quite tasty and I like to poke holes in the leaves and petals.  However, I am very good today, as no flowers have been harmed - yet!

Mike

I see some cat approaching our deck.  However, I am guarding it.

Miss Callie -I see you, up there!

 I am not happy to see you though.  You have a home and your own deck to climb on.

Mike

  scram Miss Kitty!!

Mindy

Good job Mike!!  Miss Kitty is gone home to her own deck!

Look what our mom brought home!

 As long as they don't sleep in our nap spots or eat our food, they can stay.

So far, they have not moved from this spot. 

Heh, our threats have worked!

It is Thanksgiving Weekend and Monday is turkey day!

We are expecting to celebrate by feasting on turkey.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

October Today!

It still feels like summer to us, though.

Mindy

 Lots of sunshine, actually it has been nonstop all summer - sunshine and warmth.

 This means we have to watch our water supply.

 We have plenty in our water dishes thankfully. 

 Mike

 I did check on our water dish, now that you mention it Mindy.

The days do feel like summer, however, it gets dark much earlier now.

I think this means "fall" is here.

However, the leaves on our trees have not "fallen" yet.

Our mombean had a birthday last month and she received this

card

 This is a very strange kitty!!  

Our mombean thought it was kinda cute.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Purrs, Mindy & Mike

PS, we have a special request that our visitors please visit
 Catsynth

Sweet Luna needs our collective purrs, she has cancer and her chemo has been discontinued as it was making her miserable.

Labour Day

We are in Canada so today, our calendar says it is

Labour Day

It is celebrated on the first Monday in September.

It is supposed to be a day to relax and enjoy the last days of summer. 

Here is our dadbean, but we don't think he is relaxing.  He has his work gloves on.

Mindy

I know how to relax

Mike

Me too!  Although I think I heard something out on our deck.

It is "Miss Kitty" , she lives a few houses away.

No manners though!  She is on our deck and lying on our patio table.

What nerve!

Time for you to return home, it is nearing 6:00pm and you are not allowed out after that time......so bye, bye!

Hope everyone is safe from the hurricane threats, we are only supposed to get some rain tomorrow.

 

Saturday with Mindy and Mike

We are having a relaxing day.

Mike

It is lovely, warm and sunny.  I thought I would catch a few ZZZZZZ's while things are still quiet.

Mindy

I have that idea too, good suggestion Mike

Mindy, 

Oh, I think our human beans have gone out.

We are almost out of Temptations treats

Mike

 I hope they bring back billions of bags of treats with some new flavors.

Hope our visitors have a great weekend and never run out of yummy treats.

Sunny Sunday

Sunday should be sunny, and it is!

Mike

I am outside on our deck.  I convinced our 'dad' to bring out the ZOOM groom.

 Mike

 Just the right spot!

Now I'm handsome and happy too.

Mindy

I do not need a grooming just now.

I am going to relax and keep an eye or perhaps 2 eyes on everything that is going on today.

Mindy

I did a complete check on everything,  however, there is not much going on.  It is Sunday and very quiet.  I do not even see many birds at our feeder, I think they came early this morning - they were the 'early' birds!

Mike

Well, in that case, it is time for a snooze and a chance to watch TV to catch the last day of the Olympics.

I think I need to keep my eyes open for that though!

Have a good Sunday everyone!

We are participating in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop

The Cat on My Head 

Sunday with Drizzle

That is what our humans call the tiny bits of moisture that we had today.

That is okay with us.

We can use the time for some long naps.

Mike

There is not much activity out in our yard.  

Oh well, I can practice sleeping positions in my favorite chair.....now that I think about it, all the padded chairs are my favorites.

Mindy

 I am in my favorite chair.

Just my size, purrfect

 Mike

 Still very humid and damp.  That makes me hungry.

I wonder what I can get into....I mean, I wonder what goodies I might "find" in the kitchen....on the counters.

Mindy

 When I want a snack, I just bide my time and look really, really cute. 

I have a small but persistent voice.

 fillet 'o fish

 Ah, this is my idea of a tasty snack

Check out what it says on the sign.

  Halfway to the North Pole.   That is, IF you wanted to go there, you would be halfway there.

Guess what, we are not going there.

PS the mastadon in the photo is not real because they are extinct.....so no worries..... and have a great day everyone!

 

We Need Rain!!

There are forest fires in our area, this causes us to smell smoke which is very irritating to everyone and us kitties too.

If you have spare rain,  send some of those clouds our way, please.

We had our neighbour kitty come over for her visit and here she is on our deck.

 Miss Callie is her name.  Her humans are our neighbors.  However, they stole her furs!!!

Mom says they gave her the 'lion' cut.

 Yikes!

Mike

No thanks, no lion cut for me

 Miss Callie, would like to come in!

 But, I, Mike, am guarding the door.

Good thing, too.

Hope everyone, has a great (non smokey) day!

World Cat Day

It is World Cat Day

Now that is something to celebrate!

Mindy

 I think I will celebrate by arranging these nice red flowers.

They smell good, and I might just have a little, tiny, taste.

 Well that did not work

 My mombean thought I might want to snack on the flowers, so they got put away.

Instead I got some Temptations snacks - way better!

Me again!

Purrs, Mindy

Caterday with Mindy and Mike

Our Caterday started out with lotsa fog.  So we decided to stretch out our naps.

Mike

Also our human beans were doing some home improvements.   It is best to snooze through anything like that.

 Mindy

 Yes, Mike, I would agree.  Although,  last time I looked out of the window, it was quite sunny, warm and no sign of mist, fog or whatever.

I think I heard our mombean starting up the lawnmower.

She was almost finished when she came into the house to report to dadbean and us that she got stung by this critter or something close to it!  A hornet maybe??

In two places - on her ankle and knee.  The grass cutting was definitely over for today!  She says she is lucky that there is very little swelling and just some redness and only "stings" a bit.......yup, she felt those stings.   She should have stayed inside  and curled up with us and  a good book!!

PS ... Mindy here, I had a dental cleaning last Wednesday.  My mouth is still sore, but I have meds - in a paste form which get applied to my ear!! - to help with that.  I get only soft food for now, which I like.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.  

 

 

Caterday Friends

Good day everyone, we want to introduce you to our kitty neighbors.

This is Bruno

 He lives next door to us.  He is a big kitty!

 

This is  Maddi

She also lives close by and is Bruno's mama.

Both kitties are our neighbors and sometimes our humans give them their meals when their people are away.

Mike

Not to compare too closely - I used to be almost as large as Bruno!

I am older, so I have slimmed down (not my idea) a bit.  The vet says I am doing fine for an old guy.

Mindy

 Compared to those three, I am the smallest - and cutest ;)

We wish our visitors a great weekend!

Our Garden on Wednesday

The warmer days are here at last!  We were a bit worried because of some cool, windy days earlier.  Feels like summer.

Mindy

This plush, soft, throw is across the end of the bed I like to sleep on.   It was a gift and if you are a Dr. Who fan, you will recognize the phone box theme. It has become my favorite nap spot.

Mike

I am frequently on the kitchen counter top.  It is especially important to snoopervise preparation of our meals.  I even offer to help out.

Oh, yes, we would like to show you some of the flowers in our garden.

 This is a honeysuckle bush in bloom.  The bees like these blooms.

....and these flowers plant themselves here and there wherever they please.

Our mom'bean' calls them columbine

A couple of years ago we put up a birdhouse

...and finally we have tenants!  A family of chickadees.  Looks like it needs a new paint job though.

Other birds come into our garden as well

The yellow bird is a goldfinch

A purple finch is at the feeder now.

if you look on the left, you can see a bird in flight, attempting a landing on the other side.

What else can we show you?

Oh yes, our birdbath.  It seems to be used by the birds for drinking water.

There you have it, hope you enjoyed the garden tour!

Have a great day,

purrs from Mindy & Mike
