It’s cold

What’s the test that it is actually cold in Texas? You find a dog and cat sharing the fuzzy blanket.

Missy the dog has always needed a couch buddy, and Sophie the cat is the most laid back, so I’m not surprised that it is these two we caught sharing warmth. Missy runs very warm, but has a large personal space, so doesn’t usually let the other cats near.

So photogenic

He is such a pretty boy, and so photogenic. He sings too. I’ve never heard a cat meow and trill with a musical quality. My family says it is because he grew up with singing in the house. Hm.

He isn’t a jumper, though.

Remembering

My photo album is my memory, especially for crafts. I’m usually several projects ahead of what I’m posting about, and remembering back to what hook or needle I used is problematic. So I take a picture.

If I can get an animal in the background of the picture, all the better.

Toe beans and feetsies

Today I present to you the toe beans of feetsies of the mighty Thor the gray tabby cat in two of his favorite spots.

You’re welcome.

Ambush

I made this cat hide several years ago when Sophie was mostly an outside cat. I would bring it in when the exterminator came, and one day the cats decided they liked it better inside than outside. It is currently Thor’s favorite place to hide and ambush passersby. The picture above is presented to you today because the cat is just so darn photogenic.
