Our Cats ♥

A couple of weeks before Bethie died, I found an abandoned kitty in the attic of our garage. At first, I was going to give him to a pet store to be sold, but when Beth died, we decided to keep him.

This is Patch. I guestimate that he was born around August 2017, so that would make him 5 months old now. He is a royal pain in the neck! And we all dearly love him.

Our other cat, Tilly, is getting up there in years. He was also a rescue from the garage attic. He was left behind with 2 siblings (the story can be found here), and he and Black Jack survived. 

Black Jack was sent outside to live after he peed on my bed (repeatedly!) several years ago, but Tilly has been a wonderful cat. I can't believe that he'll be 9 this year.

There are lots of pics of Til throughout this blog, but this one from 2010 has got to be my favorite:

I also dearly love that kiddo in the pic with him. ♥

Have a wonderful day!

In Pics~ Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur::And The Lilac Bush::March 27

It was a warm day, last Sunday, so when the golden light of sunset beckoned, I answered the call.

The kitties that the stray mama cat had last spring have grown up. Since Smokey disappeared, I'm glad that I've got a cat or two to take pics of.





I've been excited to see flowers popping up and green leaves unfolding on the trees. My lilac bush's leaves are starting to open.



But still, most of the world still looks like it is at rest. Even on the lilac tree.



In the past week, we've had highs above 70*, and we've had snow. Yep, it's spring :)

Cute Kitty::August 24

Some cuteness for your Saturday: Did I mention that a mama cat had her babies at our house, stuck around until they weaned, and then left? This is one of the kitties:


He sure is a cute little guy, and I love that he'll pose for a picture :)

Evening Macros of the Garden::May 13

Last evening I took a walk in the garden, and these are the sights I saw:

The lilacs are blooming:



The kitty wanted to hang out:



One thing that bothered me was that I didn't see but one bee..... No bees on my blossoming lilac bush seems strange.

The only life was a fly.

Now, I know flies are decomposers and are pretty gross, but have you ever really looked at a fly? They are shiny and real cool looking:



Too bad they have such bad manners. No matter how cool they look, no one can forget how gross they are....

¡hasta mañana,
