Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fudge, Fluffy & Kitty Cat

Today Momma Cat was laying out on the stone walkway in front of the house when I pulled up. She meowed at me and I came over to pet her a little before I brought out her food. Fluffy was sitting in the window watching us. Boo didn't like that I walked into the back room to get her food first. He pawed at the door and meowed until I came back through! When I returned, he got his treats then followed me to see Quartz, who was patienly waiting at his spot. Someone got sick in a few spots again today... At first I thought maybe Boo, because it almost looks like he may have an infected tooth. But, now I don't think it's Boo because it's mostly the solid dry food kibbles. The girls came in for their supper while I cleaned up. I don't know what they were up to since I saw them yesterday, but it must have been fun! They both had mud caked on them! Suzzie left little spots of dried dirt on the floor when she'd get up, so after they went back out I swept the floor quick. Silly girls! As I was leaving, Kitty Cat was lounging back in her spot on the stone walkway.

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning I came in to find the baby gate open! Mia must have pushed on it or something, but it wasn't knocked over. The gate was still up, but the door was open and the latch was still locked. hmmm... Needless to say, the kitties food dishes were cleaned out! Coco was curled up in her closet when I came to feed her breakfast. I guess Bear was hungry, because she came to see me and started munching on the dry food bowl after I had refilled it. I let Mia back in from the backyard and we took a nice long walk. She got to spend the morning outside today since it was much cooler out! This afternoon Mia was ready to come back in when I got there. I had left some food out there for her, but she didn't have any interest. While I was petting Bear after Coco was finished eating, Coco came walking through the bedroom meowing at me. She said hi again, then went on her way to her spot in the office. After visiting with the kitties, I spent the rest of the time with Mia.

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were sure happy to see me when I picked them up this morning! I could hardly get Kota to sit still long enough to get her collar on! They each curled up on a seat in the car and rode quietly home. Benny did a little bit of exploring. When we got home I dropped off their bag, then we went on our walk right away. They were already a little tired from playing at daycare, so they should be nice and sleepy later! It was nice and cool out this morning, so we took our long walk route. Since Kota discovered her "delicacies" on the sidewalk last time, she wasted no time today and frantically started scooping them up when she'd see them! We passed a little girl that was so excited, "Daddy look at those pretty puppies!".

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning Mia completely rolled over for me when I came in the door! She laid on her back until I pet her tummy. I let her go do her business in the backyard and went to see Coco and Bear. Coco was sleeping on her perch in the office this morning. After I fed her breakfast, I spent some time with Bear. Bear always seems to give me that look like, "Where are you going? I'm not done yet!". I took Mia for a nice long walk since it was nice and cool out. If I touch her back while we're walking, she likes to stop in front of me and lean all her weight against me. She looks up and gives me that face that says, "You can keep petting me!". After we got home I thought about letting her stay outside for the morning since it was cooler out, but I'm glad I didn't because it started to rain heavily shortly after I left! This afternoon I found Mia sleeping on the couch in the sitting room. After I spent some time with Coco and Bear, I sat with Mia in the kitchen so she would eat. When she had finished, she went back to her spot on the couch. It was a good nap day! While I was petting her, I could hear Coco meowing. I meowed back at her, hearing her come closer each time. Eventually she found me and came to get pet some more! Tonight I walked over to get Mia's leash so we could take a quick walk before the rain hit. She knows when I'm headed for the basket and starts jumping around! She went potty right away, but then we didn't make it too far on our walk. She kept stopping in front of me so I couldn't go forward, then she'd turn around and head back for the house. I think she knew it was coming! Not long after we got back inside, the wind really picked up and the rain came. She followed me to the gate and waited there until I was finished spending time with the kitties. When I came around the corner she was so happy! She followed me to the living room, and I quick ran a circle around the couch. She happily chased after me, then rolled over on my feet after I sat down for her belly rub!

Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fluffy, Fudge & Kitty Cat

Suzzie and Heiny came up to the fence to say hi today, tails-a-wagging! I went in the house and Boo came out and got his treats before I went to turn on the sink for Quartz. Someone got sick a few times today, but no other surprises! The mats were all dry; so far so good. Fluffy and Fudge were both curled up on a bed, and they both let me pet them and didn't move or attempt to run and hide! I guess they've seen me enough times now. lol I let the girls in so they could eat and enjoy the cool house. Heiny did her usual eating circle... take a bite from one bowl, walk around the table to the next bowl, continue crunching on her food on the way back to the first bowl, repeat. haha! While they were eating, I went outside to see if I could find Momma Cat. I walked to the hog pen and tried calling for her. I heard a meow back at me, then she came out and walked over to me. She sure is big! I bet she'll be having them soon! I pet her for awhile, then went to go get a scoop of food for her. As I came out the front door she met me at the porch, then ran ahead and showed me where her food goes!

Mimi

This morning Mimi was just walking in from the living room to greet me. I pet her for a long time in the kitchen before I took care of her food, water and litter pan. She hopped into the sink while I was scooping out her food, and I was going to rinse off the spoon afterwards. She didn't try to move when I turned the water on! I guess she knew she had her body curved in such a way that she wouldn't get wet. She ran ahead of me into the living room for our play time. Today we played with her little brown blanket. I put my hand underneath it and moved it around. She stared, then moved her head in all sorts of directions excitedly, then pounced! She rolled around with the blanket and stuck her head under it, searching for the moving thing. Later it started to rain outside, so she sat in the window and watched.

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning I said hi to Mia and let her go potty outside. Coco was curled up on the other couch in the sitting room, meowing at me. I went and pet her for a little bit before I got their breakfast ready. Bear woke up as soon as I walked in the room and moved closer for me to pet her. Mia and I went for a nice long walk again this morning. We passed a couple houses that had dogs outside. They were barking as we passed by, and Mia started to whine a little. When we got home, I sat in the kitchen with Mia for awhile to give her some company so she'd eat her breakfast. This afternoon I let Mia sit outside until she was ready to come back in. It was super hot and humid this afternoon, so she didn't want to be out too long. I brought Coco some lunch in her hiding spot in the closet. I could hear Bear calling for me! By the time Coco was finished eating, Bear had decided to come see where I was. Bear had some lunch while I pet her. Tonight Coco ate a good amount for me. Bear got down off the bed and had some supper too after I pet her for awhile. I took Mia for another long walk after I fed Coco and Bear. Once we got home, she sprawled out on the floor next to me. I sat at the dining table again with her so she would eat for me. She did like a good girl! Afterwards, she went and curled up by the couch in the sitting room and I spent some time with her. She's such a sweetheart!!

Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy

This afternoon I let everyone out in the backyard to go potty and get a drink while I got their leashes. They all were sitting by the door looking in, waiting to see what I was up to! As soon as they saw what was in my hand, they all got very excited. Rudy would hardly sit still long enough for me to get his collar on! When I let them in, they pulled me quickly through the house to the front door. There were some clouds out here and there, keeping the sun from beating down too much. We had a nice breeze too, so it didn't feel too hot and we were able to take a nice long walk. I let them play for awhile out in the backyard after we got home. They sure were thirsty! Rudy wanted to swim in the bowl of water again. He even gave me a cool bath! haha!

Mimi

This morning the neighbor ladies were keeping Mimi company again. I got to meet Lily and Half Pint this morning too! Mimi was waiting at the door for me and was very happy to see me. She walked in and out around my legs and let me pet her for a long time. After I got her canned food out, we played for awhile. I brought down her twisty tie and she went crazy chasing around after it! She ran and slid herself under the chair and batted at it, while rolling around. This afternoon Mimi was even more playful! She immediately went to her spot under the table and stuck her legs out to get my fingers. She zoomed out to her blanket and crouched down, ready to chase after anything. I brought the twisty tie out again and she chased after that and tossed it around for herself. Later, she was looking for something under the little blanket. She had her head all the way under it with her heiny up in the air! She settled down after awhile and decided to sit in her window and watch the birds outside.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning I found Toby snoozing on the bed. He was pretty sleepy still and didn't move even after I had come in and started petting him! Once he got up, we went for a really long walk this morning. It was nice and cool out yet, and very quiet. All we could hear was the rooster somewhere in the distance giving his morning call. Toby must have found a trail from something, because he suddenly got excited and his little sniffer was going a mile a minute! He was pooped when we got home, so we just sat on the couch and he got a tummy rub. This afternoon Toby was in his spot on top of the couch with Morgan. Toby and I went outside for awhile so he could go potty. He could hear the neighbors outside talking and he sure didn't like that! He barked for a little bit, but was soon distracted. It was pretty hot and humid out, so he wanted to go back inside. He still hadn't finished his supper from last night, and usually he does by now. So, I stood in the kitchen with him to give him some company, in case that might help. It worked and he ate all his food for me! Morgan took advantage of Toby being occupied and he hopped up on the counter for some attention. He picked up the sunglasses on the counter! Silly kitty. I looked around for Tyson this afternoon but couldn't find him, so he must have a good hiding spot!
