Deer problems return

I had been spending a lot of time chasing the deer out of the backyard. It is the same animal family. I recognize them. The problem is not that they do anything bad out there, but that Scooby is terrified of them and is crazy for the next 24 hours. They have not been back for a while. Unfortunately he saw them before me, and crazy day begins. Here is a photo of three cats at the top of the stair looking down at a window with a deer view. Here is also a photo of the deer–again. It is 20 degrees C outside, and I decided to see if Scooby can “man up” and I shall not chase them away. He needs to get used to them. I shall see how it goes. A snowstorm is supposed to blow in tonight but we shall see.

Watching from above–Zeke Scooby Marigold. Opie watching from another window.

The usual suspects

Scooby’s new raccoon

Scooby is enjoying a new cat toy to play with. There are so many cat toys about, that I do not recall where this came from, or when; but, it has shown up and Scooby likes it a lot. He is fickle, and will tire of it easily. Then he will move on to something else. Ellen from 15andmeowing sent us the fish pillow as a present along with some other things. We like it very much and appreciate it.

Reflections 9

Well, another Thanksgiving is gone. Some people had great Thanksgiving, others average, and some terrible. Looking back, most of the average ones were actually great, but I just did not recognize it at the time. I have had them all at one time or another. Now we are steaming full speed ahead towards Christmas. It seems like Christmas will never come, and then all of a sudden it comes racing towards us, and no matter what we do, we cannot slow it down. Today I feel more like an extra on “The Walking Dead”, so I shall just post another “Reflections” post which I put together months ago, and was waiting for a good time to post it. My eyesight took a temporary turn for the worse, and I can just barely see what I am doing. Reflections is my series of unposted older cat photographs. They may have been posted and never viewed or from my deleted Blogger blog. They are pre-Scooby.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Once more I will dive into my father’s postcard collection. He kept many of them when he was a child, which I found after he died carefully stored away in a box. Most of them are Valentines–some of which I previously posted. Today for Thanksgiving I have only one “new” one to post. It was copyrighted in 1917 but sent in 1922.
