Around the house & down the road

He's surrounded by females and he loves it.
Four out of five don't like him, though.

I did a little baking today. Two pumpkin loaves for coffee and tea breaks. 
The walnuts went a little 'nutty' during baking. 

Notice anything new?
LOVE!

The sun was bright and warm today but the wind is still cold  It was beautiful driving in the country to care for some stay-at-home kitties.
Although they are indoor-outdoor cats they will stay inside while I care for them.
We played cat and mouse for awhile on the wood pile.
and the birds are keeping them amused.
6 months and already a stunner.
What is it about tabby cats that I love so much?

I did manage a couple of cat-in-window photos. What a little rascal he is.

He wants out but he will soon realize I left some treats here and there for them to hunt down.

Time to bake a birthday cake.


hugs, Deb

  1. My indoor/outdoor cats are in a frenzy of hunting. I'm being presented with mice and sadly, a bird or two. Not happy about the birds, but catly nature is what it has always been.

  6. Deb do you ever worry about somebody marking when you bring in new cats like that? I have heard some people have awful trouble with their cats marking....my boy Jinx never has but i certainly am worried about bringing in a new cat and having him start... Beautiful cats!! Hugs! deb

    1. Oh yes, that is a very real worry. It is best to start them out in an area by themselves until they calm down a bit. Giving them lots of window space, cat trees and space to wander and check things out is crucial. I am feeding the newcomers in a room of their own and their litter box is separate also. This change is for about 4 months so I think it is best to let them continue to have their own space for the whole time.

  13. Joe is such a handsome mancat! If your ladycats aren't crazy about him, we lady'beans certainly makeup for it.
    Tabbies....and tuxies, tigers, calicos,
    tortis, browns, whites, blacks,
    oranges....you love them all, Deb.
