A new week begins...

Being an in-home cat-sitter I am on the road a lot. Next to the cats I think the one thing I love the most is caring for the cats who live in the country. Like this morning, after parking at the gate and making my way up a very long driveway avoiding all the early spring worms that appear after heavy rain, I came upon these guys.
These are wild turkeys and they live all over our area. I won't ever forget the day a couple of them dive-bombed my car because I was disturbing the flock by being on the back road. I photographed them from the window because frankly, I don't care to be chased by one. There had been a high wind last night that knocked down the bird-feeder so the birds, chipmunks & wild turkeys were having a feast. Inside, one of the cats hid (probably from the high wind last night) and one could care less.
"I could care less"
They both received breakfast, lots of cuddles and a few treats to keep them happy and calm some nerves. Two gorgeous long-haired cats that I will enjoy grooming each day.

I am caring for a very sweet dog for the next little while. She will be lording over her 2 acre lot and keeping all the trespassers at bay. She will also like to cuddle on the couch and watch TV with me. She's a doll and you will meet her soon.

My grand-kitty Hugo is at our home and it's always a race to see if I can make the bed before he plops down in the middle of it. Sheets done but duvet will have to wait. He beat me to it.
Hugs, Deb

  5. Thanks so much for sharing the adorable images. There's no such thing for a little kitty as a safe and warm place to snooze.

  6. Beautiful cats! Love those turkeys too. We used to get them right up under our birdfeeders but I haven't seen any that close for a while.
    Have a happy Wednesday!
