This being an indoor cat business is a good gig.
The good life

Peeping Tom
The coop is the neighborhood chick flick hangout for cats. I caught the white long haired cat having a looksie while I filled water buckets.
Sophie started out as a neighborhood outdoor cat, who adopted us, and is nearly converted to indoor life, but still likes to take in an occasional chicken show. The hens don’t get upset when she is staring in, as long as she is calm.
If you give a cat …
a plastic egg, she’ll ask you for a curtain. If you roll the egg under the curtain, she will attack and grapple it. After mock murdering it, she will play in the curtain.
Playing in the curtain will remind her of her favorite toy. She’ll ask you for the feather on a stick.
Playing with the feather on a stick will give her the rip-tears. She will zip up and down the hall, then hide behind the door. Chances are, when her paws are under the door, she’ll ask you for a plastic egg.
(With many apologies and much love to Laura Numeroff.)
Hello from the rag basket
Izzy says hello from the rag basket under the sink because… cat, basket. That it is full of bits of cloth is a bonus. She really isn’t that small. It is a big basket.
My calicos
Pulling up old pictures of Shadows had us wondering how close in coloring our current cat Izzy is to Shadows. The answer: pretty close. Both had/have one orange leg and one black with white paws, they were just mirrored. They both had/have a mostly black back, Shadows just had more white on her tummy. The biggest difference is in their size. Shadows was a small rolly polly cat, while Izzy is a large sleek feline (not that you can tell in these particular photos). The dates are adoption dates, as we added both to our family when they were adults.
Is this a case for reincarnation? Or just that I really like calicos.
