I couldn’t let the day go by without geeking out a little. I found this picture in my files from the before times, and thought the kitten looked rather like baby Yoda.
May the 4th be with you
Taunting me
I’ve become fixated with the short haired black cat roaming the neighborhood. I see it all the time, except when I have the live trap baited! I think it knows, and I think it is laughing.
Garden strawberries
Hurray! I was able to harvest strawberries from the garden patch before the other critters!
I’m thinking that planting the strawberries in with the mint was an unintentionally smart move. I have since read that slugs and snails don’t care for mint. So far, it does seem that the mint is giving the strawberries some protection. Or the critters just don’t know there is something to be had yet. Hm.
Not an entire waste of time
It is getting harder and harder to catch unfixed cats from my neighbor’s colony. I sat out for four hours one day and didn’t see a single un-notched right ear. I know there is a short haired black cat that roams the meadow, I’ve seen it on the trail cam, but it either doesn’t like tuna in oil, or knows when I am watching. It wasn’t a completely wasted day; I took my camera with me and did a fixed cat photo shoot. So now you get cat photos and memes. You’re welcome.
Claimed
Izzy has been subtly trying to claim Grandma’s blanket as a bed for some time. I pick it up to knit and she comes over for lap time. Usually I am able to move it off to one side so she can’t take up residence, but I failed this time. She was pleased. Until I needed to turn the work. Silly cat.
