Another one down

Thor the gray tabby brought another mouse into the house. At least this time he dispatched it himself. The last one hid under the couch and Sophie the calico cat had to take care of it.

You shall not pass

Sophie the dilute calico cat wanted to come in the house to deliver her newly caught mouse to her favorite person, my eldest. I did not let her in. My eldest went out to her to give her praise for being a good hunter, then Sophie went off to eat her mouse.

Another cat, probably Thor, did manage to bring in a rodent, then lost it under the couch. Later that night Sophie dispatched it and left bits for my eldest in her room. Presents. Hm.

Gate keeping

I’m fairly certain the the gatekeeper in the photo above is Izzy the calico cat. Although Thor the gray tabby is effectively blocking her from coming in, I think she has the preferred spot, so doesn’t care, giving her the advantage.

Music and cats

I told y’all that I loved that picture of Thor on the Old Man of the North chair. I love it so much I made it a profile picture, and the app gave Thor a thought bubble that said “Share a song”. Now the picture is perfect: music and a cat.

Even though the Old Man’s face is obscured, the “wind” swirls still make it aesthetically pleasing.

Pretty boy

I love this picture. Thor found the side sleeper pillow I threw onto our vintage wood chair and posed quite regally. The curve of his whiskers follow the curve of the carved back of the chair, and it gives me a giggle that it looks like the Old Man is licking the cat’s head.
