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.

Saturday With Team Tabby

Here we are in our usual places and positions for a winter Saturday in February.

  Mindy

 We have had some lovely winter days lately.  I watched the squirrels and birds at our feeder - a lot.   However, here I am taking a break and getting mom to do the typing on our blog.

 

 Moe

 I am upstairs on the sofa at the end of our hallway, it is sunny here and I can keep track of all that goes on.  Exhausting job you know.

Cookie

I have a fresh pink towel to snooze on.  I did not choose this colour, but it suits me well I think.    Night before last, our local hydro power plant had some sort of problem, a 'breaker' which broke - guess it wasn't supposed to do that.  We were in the dark and no heat from midnight until the sun came up. I slept through it all.

Mike

 I spent that night on 'our' bed with mombean and dadbean.  We all slept through the power out - didn't need electricity at night anyway, speaking for myself that is, I can get around in the dark.

It may be winter but we have a pretty plant that came from our local grocery store,  they don't have just groceries.  Lots of flowers (and cat treats, too) are to be found.

 Here it is, in a high spot, out of reaching by my paw and teeth.  No fun to be had with those purty (no teeth marks) blooms.

We wish our visitors a great weekend!

 

 

Whap Up on Saturday

Moe and Mike

 

We are not really engaged in a 'whap up', we prefer to call this an animated discussion!


Happy Caterday!  

Supervising on Saturday

This is our  laundry room, and it looks like someone is taking apart our laundry tub!

Not really, because this is the 'new' laundry tub.  The 'old' one is gone because it didn't work very well any more.  It needed constant attention.

Mike

 All of us kitties supervised the whole operation and it is looking good, thanks to our careful observations and frequent inspections.

Moe

 Our help was definitely needed and therefore the installation was a success.  

Watching over all that work has made me very hungry.....food, food, please!

Mindy

I just looked out of the window and noticed the squirrel, about six mourning doves and one downy woodpecker.  I never tire of watching them.

Cookie

There are days when I refuse to pose for that camera, even with the flash turned off.

We hope our visitors are having a good weekend.  So far our weekend is stormy, but it is only rain and not snow.

Purrs from all of us.

It's Caterday and Cold!

Where we are, our Saturday is freezing cold!  However, the sun is shining and that makes all the difference to us.

Here is one of our windows, see the frost - proof you know.

Mindy

I like to look out of that window, and when the sun shines it is very warm on my fur.  So what if it is cold outside, I am inside!  Plus I can keep a watch on what is going on in the neighbourhood.

Mike

 I already checked that window, took one look and thought to myself -  'yep  cold out there'  and went to find a comfortable bed to snooze on. 

 Moe

 I will be the optimistic one, because I heard that it is going to warm up considerably by tomorrow.  I am counting on that.  That way I will get to see lots of activity outside, especially looking forward to - my favorite activity - bird watching.

Cookie

 Can you see me?  I am the handsome one next to the wall.  I am not very happy that Moe photobombed me.   Has this every happened to any of you out there?

It's Caterday

Cookie:

A very sunny, pleasant November day.  As you can see by my expression I am not happy.  My paws needed cleaning (according to someone) and I got put in the bathtub with a couple of inches of water. 

Mike:

I am taking a snooze, but my ears are alert - you need to be alert in case something exciting, like a possible snack, might be had.

Mindy:

I get to have the cat tree all to myself.   I might catch up on some beauty rest.

Moe:

Oh, that looks tasty!  Are you going to share?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

PS. here is a photo taken last night of our road at sunset.

 

Snoozin' Saturday

 

After all the excitement of Halloween on Thursday, we spent Friday seeking out the most comfortable spots in the house and catching up on our sleep.

 

 

Thursday, day of Halloween, was - well - indescribable!  First the weather that morning was quite cool and frosty, but otherwise nice.

 

 

This plant in our yard was edged with frost.

 

The day warmed up considerably, and by 5:00 pm we had a warm and very pleasant evening.  So lots of people started coming our door....60 at final count.  Did we ever mention that when someone knocks on our door, that is the signal to scram as far from it as possible!

 

Moe: 

However, I was persuaded to come into the living room and to see our youngest neighbour all dressed for this occasion.  She is only a year old and having the best fun ever!

I like this little girl, she was handing ME a treat - our mom gave her some of my favorite and tasty snacks and she gave them to me.   

 

A while later, a boy that our mombean used to babysit, came wearing his costume, accompanied by his mom and their dog, Sally.

 

Here is our dadbean giving Sally some attention.  Our humans had a dog like Sally long  before we came to live here.  His name was Ruff. 

 

 

Finally, by 9:00 pm nobody was coming to the door anymore, thankfully.  At this point it had started to rain....and rain.  Then it got windy, and continued all day Friday.  Our power stayed on, but many in many places the power went off.

 

 

Today, there is some drizzle, but oh, it is so nice and quiet and we have been having a lovely snooze!



Sunny Saturday!

 

 

 

Oh, we are enjoying our sun puddles!

 

Mindy

Here I am on the sofa with all my favorite towels and blankets.  See that nice ray of sunshine?

 

Cookie

I am upstairs at the entrance to 'my' office.  I've caught a few warm rays of sun too.

 

 

Mike

Where shall I find my warming ray of sun.  Will it be downstairs or upstairs?  Decisions, decisions.  Maybe I will sleep on that thought.

 

 

Moe

I've found a sunny window sill.   Oh, and when did this get put here?  All changes in this house need my approval.  I haven't given it yet!

 

Have a great weekend everyone!



Saturday It Rains

 

Mindy

 

 

Hi everyone!  Yes, it is raining hard at times.  This makes it difficult to watch our bird and squirrel TV at our window.

 

 

I have been watching the young birds fly around our deck, they must be in flight training and sometimes they alight on the deck railing.   We found an empty nest that had been knocked out of a tree.

 

 

 

I wonder if this had been their home.

 

 

One of my other favorite subjects to watch is Mr. Squirrel!

 

 

He is snacking on some of the sunflower seeds that fall out of the bird feeder.

 

We have a few colorful flowers that are trying to survive the heavy rains.  We got a couple of photos on a sunnier day.

 

 



 

This one is from our magnolia tree.

 

 

and this one from our rhododendron bush

 

 

 

This last one does not grow in our yard at all, we wish it did.  It is a planter which you will find in our public gardens.  I did not go there, but our human beans did.

 

Hope you enjoy these, because I wanted to post something colorful on a cool and rainy Saturday!

 

Hope you are having a great weekend!

 

Rainy Caturday

When it rains and it is a bit cool, we simply make the best of it!

Mindy

Moe

 Mike

Cookie

Last week, on Saturday, it was sunny and we saw the twin fawns that visit our yard.

They were standing very, very still and didn't think we saw them.  We did and now you can see them too!  The white spots on their coats have almost gone, in fact the spots are not visible at all in this photo.

Have a good week everyone!

PS:  sad news - our friend Oliver (Everycat)  suddenly went to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday.   We send our purrs to his heartbroken family - Gerry, Mungo and their 'beans. 

Sights on Saturday

Moe: My turn,  I is checking in today. 

Last evening our beans went out for supper, but not before we got our dinner.  It's important to have a full tummy at all times, even if our beans think otherwise.




Just after they left we heard a rumble outside and the sky got dark. Very soon the sun came back out.   Our mombean took this picture while they were driving in the car.

 We hope the storm cloud went to Colorado where they need the rain badly.

This morning I was snoopervising at our window and saw an introoder cat, in our yard, watching our birdies!

Mombean saw it and said it looked to be a kitten, it was so little.

Our bean went outside, but the small kitty got scared and ran away.

Mombean thought that the kitty didn't look very healthy.  See those patches on it's black furs?  We do hope it does, in fact, have a home to go to.  

I will watch for it at the window, but first I need a snack.  I remember mombean used to keep a bag of Temptations in this cupboard.

 

Have a great Saturday everyone!
