This post is a mixture of various subjects including tree-felling, naps, and a new cat cafe
My next door neighbor was concerned about some of my pine trees hanging over his property, or leaning dangerously toward his property. I decided to get the tree cutters out to take care of the problem. The catio was closed. Opie decided to take up position in an upstairs window and supervise the job.
Everything went very well. Nice work, Opie! Next it was time for some grooming and a lap nap.
Today we shall view an old German winter scene, and a photo of my cat in a hat!
It was one year ago that I showed a woman using an ice-skate running frame. This print comes from my vintage German Annual of “Die Gartenlaube” (Garden Arbor) magazine for 1868.
The picture depicts a lady riding on an ice sled, who is going to church. She is traveling over one of the “Oberbayerische Seen” or upper Bavarian lakes. Note the spikes on the end of the poles the man is using, to propel the sled along. In the background, see a man propelling himself along the ice, standing on a sled, like a gondolier in Venice, if the canals were frozen over! People in the Northeast might want to build a few of these.
Below, Zeke is keeping warm wearing his Hello Kitty hat, and sitting upon his wolf blanket.
Zeke has an important message today. He proudly announces the Feline Cafe Control Center has been upgraded with a new 22 inch monitor! Now Zeke looks even bigger and better. The 8 year old monitor has been retired permanently.
Where is Opie? This is an effect of the Universal Cat Law, which was discovered by me after studying the work of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg. In 1905 Albert Einstein published his famous equation: E = mc2. It was derived from experiments with his two cats named Proton and Electron conducted in 1904. In the equation, E = the energy of the cat; m = the mass of the cat; and c = the speed of the cat.
I think I shall go into my tent and have a little nap. I am so sleepy!

Santa Cat brought me a new tent! It is a bit smaller than the blue one above. I sleep in it upstairs. Only room for me in here! See you on the other side. Remember Blog Pause in January!
