Izzy the calico cat has been trying to lay on the wool vest I am crocheting for weeks. She finally found me distracted and cuddled in. I did continue to work on the piece and just rotated her as I went. She still stayed put. Purring.

Size comparison
The trail cam pictures gave a good way to compare the size of the new raccoon vs a cat.
These two photos were also taken just under two hours apart, so the depth of the ice is the same.
The ice accumulation from the last storm did finally all go away. I can’t recall that I’ve ever seen it stay as long as it did in Texas. I still refuse to call it snow.
Mid-jump
Scrolling through the trail cam pictures, I usually skip downloading most of the neighborhood cat pictures, but I noticed a trend as I scrolled. The camera was catching the cats mid-jump. Some of the photos are quite amusing, like the cat is awkwardly suspended.
Yes, I put out food for them, as do at least three of my neighbors. Yes, I get them fixed. They are excellent for snake and rodent control. None of them use the inside of the insulated cat house. I don’t think I designed it right.
Feline blend
I photographed two neighborhood cats in camouflage environments in the last few weeks.
I would have loved to do a full photo shoot with these cats and matching backgrounds, but the white cat wants to be brushed and is not interested in posing, and the tortie is skittish, so phone pics will have to do.
Presentation of toe beans
Sophie the calico cat likes the carpeted cat tree. She tucks herself all the way back in the tunnel to escape from Thor the gray tabby.
