Sleepy Cuddly Day

It rained just about all day, today.  So what is a cat to do if there is no sunshine?  Red Blanket!  Red Blanket is electric--perfect to keep cats and people warm on chilly days.

Thunder decided that the plan was to cuddle up and watch DVDs and read.  When I left the room, he came out to get me and bring me back.

He is very insistent.  He tells me what I want by crying.  I go to see what the problem is--and he takes off trotting as fast as his paws can carry him--back to the room with Red Blanket.

Who can resist?  I certainly can't.  I finally gave up and spent the rest of the evening in there with him.

I draw the line on sleeping in there, tonight.  We are sleeping in a bed--that is all there is to it.  Silly little cat.

Thunder Wake Up

Doesn't he still look sleepy?  When I worked, apparently, Thunder scheduled his naps around my job.  Now that I am retired, I schedule my day around Thunder's naps.

He likes to nap after breakfast.  I can get the most things done in the morning.  This is my best time to work in the yard.  He doesn't even care.

Around lunch, he wakes up. He wants something to eat--and then he hangs out with me.  Poor Maggie, she doesn't get her walk until he settles down for his afternoon catnap.

We walk; he naps.  When I get back, he is ready to hang out with me.  He probably won't nap until late afternoon or evening--and that is for only about an hour--then he demands my attention, again.  He is a very demanding cat.

Fall and Arbez

Here is Fall and Arbez.  They are Kevin's precious ones.  Sorry about the quality of the photo--it is from my cheap phone and there wasn't enough light.  They were just so cute, there, I couldn't resist.

Arbez is a very sensitive cat, and we have to be very careful with her.  If you pet too far down her back, you may need stitches.  She loves being pet around her head, though. 

Fall is the exact opposite.  You can do anything to her, and she will just keep purring.  Kevin suspects that I only go over his house to spend time with his lovely cats. 

Solar Charging

I'm starting to think that Thunder has solar cells under his fur.  Once he charges up in the morning sun, he gets so playful, even wild.  On the cloudy days, he is more concerned with cuddling than playing.

In the morning, the sun is in the dining room.  It is particularly good this time of year because there are no leaves on the trees to block any of it. 

  On a sunny morning, he is seldom alone...
