Humph Wednesday!

  

Moe:

We are being abandoned, yet again.  Our humans are going to visit our Uncle Bean.  This means an overnight visit.  Our very nice lady next door will be our 'food lady'......thank heavens.  This means we will not have to worry when our next meal is coming.

Mindy:

I like our neighbour lady.  Even though I usually hide when people come into the house, she is the exception.  Plus I like it, when she fusses over me.  However, I do want our humans to return home as soon as possible.

Cookie:

I like meals on time.   I sure hope food lady knows my schedule and how to fix the soft food the way I like it.  Yes, I know there are meds mixed in but I really like that stinky goodness.  

Mike:

I am so glad we won't have to worry about meals.  However, I sure hope our substitute food person will give me some proper adoration and attention.  That is almost as important as food.  Time will tell.

Happy Wednesday everyone, hope you get as much food and attention as you need and want!

++++++++

Oh yes,  Mombean says thanks for the birthday wishes she got on Monday from some of you.    

She got this birthday gift, but it is no good because it is not edible.  It has possibilities as a rolling toy though!

Good Bye Sunshine - Hello Blizzard

 Mindy

I have been looking out of our window this evening and we have enjoyed a very nice and sunny, but cold day.

This is the view of the last rays of sunshine, maybe for a while

Here is another ray

It is sunset.

Sometime tonight and into tomorrow, which will be Wednesday

we are getting lots of snow and wind, a blizzard in other words.

Arrrrh, not the news I wanted to hear!  I prefer my window watching to be full of signs of squirrels and birdies.

Cookie

 I am glad that this heating pad is turned on, snowstorms bring on high and cold winds

I think that I will take a long winter's nap

Moe

 Sounds good to me Cookie, I will do the same!  I got the best chair, the best spot.

Mike

I intend to eat and sleep - or is it sleep and eat?

I'm too tired to figure this out.  Plus I need to distribute more hair on the new sofa... makes it.....comfortable!

Wish us well during Wednesday!

Wishing on Wednesday

Mindy:

I am wishing there was no glass between me and that yummy looking squirrel!

 It is so close and yet all I can do is watch and wish!

That creature is so annoyingly close

Sometimes I see another squirrel attempting to snack on that suet cake.  This does not work out so well because these critters do not like to share and instead chase one another all over our yard.  All I can do is watch and utter some bad words.

Mike:

 Mindy, just relax and enjoy the show, why waste energy fretting?

I am "chill_axing" and that works for me. 

Cookie:

 Nothing is going to move me from this heating pad, I got here first and I am going to have the best snooze ever!

Moe:

Did you say 'snooze' Cookie?  Good idea, think I will try that.  I am wishing on Wednesday that I had found that heating pad first!

We wish our visitors a great Wednesday however you want to spend it!!

Wednesday Wild Things

Mindy:

 

This morning I watched while our humom scattered some sunflower seed on the big rock where the pheasants and doves like to dine.

 

 

We went to the window to watch our "bird TV" to start.  We love watching the birds!

 

However, this is what we saw instead -

 

 

A very cheeky deer!  It stuck it's tongue out at us and started to eat the bird's seed and wouldn't leave until it had feasted on every seed out on the big rock.  Oh, the outrage we all felt!  For dessert, it munched on mombean's hosta plants.  She was not happy about that.  The dead-looking branches in the background are what is left of our rhododendron bushes.

 

 

Mike and Moe:

 

We were hoping that those tasty-looking pheasants would come for our...  er, we mean their breakfast at the big rock too.  They did not show up this morning.

 

 

Cookie:

 

I can hear the rain starting to hit our windows, therefore, I think I will go into our office/music room and find my favorite office chair.  A restful nap is a great way to spend a drizzly day!

 

 

We wish our visitors a great mid-week day!!

Mid-Day of the Week

 

Moe:  We think this means that it is Wednesday.

 

 

 

At least this Wednesday is not so hot as it has been on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

 

Nice snoozing weather!  That is my plan for today, to snooze with one eye open.  My favorite spot is right here in the kitchen.  I need to be ready for when the refrigerator door gets opened, because I need to check that there is sufficient food inside.  It's an important job.

 

 

Mindy:  I think I will rest my eyes for a while

However,  my ears will be turned on, I don't like to miss anything!

 

 

Cookie:  This is my water dish Mike, you have your own downstairs.  My sight isn't very good, so mombean says I don't have to climb up and down the stairs if I don't want to.

 

Mike:  What ever happened to sharing? 

 

On the other paw, I don't like to share my food dishes either, but I am a reasonable mancat, I will share, but I tend to eat really fast and it helps that I am the biggest cat of the four of us.

 

Have a good Wednesday everyone!

 

 

Wednesday - a Feast!

 

Mindy:  We are back!  Our beans have been busy with a visiting relative.  Nice person though, she liked us lots.

 

 

I am anticipating these nice fishies!  I can smell them and almost taste them, even before they finish cooking.

 

 

Here is a photo of those delicious mackerel!

 

 

They are small, but smaller is tastier, plus they are fresh caught.  A bonus, when you live near the ocean like we do. 

 

 

Here is Mike resting after his part of the fish feast.

 

 

It was delicious.

 

Now for a couple of bonus photos.  Here is our Aunti Bean making friends with a friendly pony.

 

 

 

Next, our beans took some time to go into our city and stroll on the boardwalk beside the harbour.

 

 

One, for a fee, can board this small sailing ship and cruise around the harbour, but we prefer to stay on land, preferably in the most comfortable spot in our house!

 

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

 



Whap'n Wednesday

Mindy and Moe ...... oh, oh, intense eye contact

Mindy:  I was here first, and I'm not leaving.



Moe:  This calls for action!

See that catnip leaf?   There's only one of it, but two of us.


We found this charming page A Photographic Journey of a Grandma and her Cat, so we thought we would share it for our visitors to enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday

Mindy

Moe & Mindy

(our typist is busy, photos only today)

Wednesday - Feels Like Winter

Cookie:  I wanted to go outside this morning to see if the grass is starting to grow.  I am disgusted!  There is NO green grass.  

Just look at this - it is snowing - again.  Didn't Spring arrive a few days ago?

Mindy:  Don't bother going outside Cookie, just find a comfortable spot indoors - why not settle yourself near the portable heater.  Perhaps  our mombean will turn it on for us.  

There you go, feeling better now, Cookie?

Wacky Wednesday

Spring has arrived!!!  It sure looks white out there today.  The weather guy on TV said there would be sno*.  Yep, it snowed overnight and a little drizzle came as well. 

This will not stop us from enjoying today, the whole day long!!  

Mindy:  I am posting a photo of a nice sun spot.  This was not taken today of course!  You don't want to see what's outside.

Moe:  I've got the cat condo, it's perfect to curl up on. First I need to fix my fur.  Always look your best, you never know who will pop in for a visit!

Mike:  Mombean, a little more to the right.....purrfect, I love chin rubs.  Please ignore the marks on my nose.  I didn't win the whapping contest with Moe....next time though.

Cookie:  I am the Office Manager.  I share the chair with mombean while she helps us with our blog.  I am not responsible for any spelling errors.

This is a photo from a couple days ago, there was only a tiny bit of sno* then.    Mr. pheasant stocking up on sunflower seeds for breakfast.  Looks very well fed, don't you think?  

He comes almost every day, sometimes more than once a day.  We never get tired of watching it.  One important thing though, it is a l-a-r-g-e birdie.  The smaller one behind it, is a Mourning Dove.  They are regulars as well.

Have a lovely Wednesday everyone!

**PS.....good news, as of this writing, the clouds are moving fast and the sun has just made an appearance! Hope the trend continues.   

Sleep-in Wednesday

Yes, we are all seeking a comfy spot to spend today because it is damp and cool due to the rain we are getting.  Not many birds are coming to our feeder today, so we will have to entertain you with what is going on inside our domain.

First, we want to show you a photo mombean took last Friday night in our city.  She was on the pedway looking down into the street and saw the seasonal street lights that look like lanterns  and wants to share with everyone.

 The building on the right is city hall and is undergoing a 'make over' - mombean says that means it is getting sandblasted to make the stonework fresh and clean.   Glad we don't get that treatment!!  We can keep ourselves very clean all by ourselves.

Mike: I am not quite at my best today because I have scratches on my nose.

Moe:  Well, Mike, if you would share the nap spots and not try to hog the snacks, maybe we wouldn't  have to whap you!! 

(Moe glaring at Mike)


We want to show you the peppermint patties mombean made for a Christmas Tea - they look nice, but trust us there is NO tuna in any of those treats!

 

Mombean helped decorate with her wallhangings and said they were sold out of tickets for this event

 

We are good kitties, we took care of things at home and tried not to get into trouble.

 

We will show you some of the Christmas 'breakables' that our mombean has put around our house........

 

 

Here is a nutcracker guard, but his drum is bigger than he is!

Next we'll show you two of the (breakable) snowmen -  #1

and #2

 

 - this snowman has funny shaped holes in it because a lit candle is supposed to go in behind and candlelight shines through.  Of course, we don't have anything to do with lighting the candle!!  No, never!

 

Mombean couldn't get photos of Mindy and Cookie, they are upstairs somewhere, probably in a comfy spot but with ears tuned in case a snack is served.

 

We want to say "Happy Retirement" to dadbean, his last day at work was Thursday, last week.

 

At the moment is out having lunch with some of his former colleagues - this once we'll allow it, but he's got to remember to save time for us, we're very important!!
