Suspicious cat

On By CarynIn Cats

I put American Bison wool insoles from the Buffalo Wool Company in my shoes to help give them some cushion, and I knew I would need to keep them up and away from the cat. Thor the cat loves natural wool, and he loves my shoes, so I was taking a large gamble combining the two. For a couple weeks I was very good about keeping the shoes up on the shoe rack, then I was reminded why when I set my shoes on my chair before my morning walk and came back to a suspiciously happy cat cuddled in next to the shoes.

The insoles remain unmolested, but I must be vigilant.

My love triangle: I love yarn projects, and I love cats, and cats love yarn. Sigh.

Cat games

Thor the gray tabby made an interesting decision to hang off the side of the rocker.

What he was really doing was waiting for Missy the dog to run by so he could grab her tail.

Sleepy cats

Today you get pictures of sleepy cats, but not Izzy. Izzy the calico usually gets the most photo fame because she lays on my lap and becomes a photo background. Thor the gray tabby and Sophie the dilute calico don’t get as much press. So here they are in their favorite sleeping places, being their usual goofy selves.

Uh oh

Well, I thought Thor the cat was mostly interested in wool, but I found this former ball of linen yarn out of its bag and in another room from where I left it.

Here is the culprit, looking pleased with himself on Griffin the dog’s bed.

I don’t believe he ingested any yarn, and I was able to wind the tangle back into a neat ball without any knots. The yarn ball is back in the project bag, and hung up where the cat can’t stick his head into it. Yeah, I love yarn and I love cats and cats love yarn. It is a timeless love triangle.
