Happy Thanksgiving (2020)

Yes we know Happy Thanksgiving (2020) is an impossibility. It can only be a shadow of Thanksgivings passed. Our only hope is for Thanksgiving 2021 and hopefully living that long. Frankly we in Washington are under pretty strict lock-down rules; everyone is mad, defiant, or just resigned to it like me. No holiday visitors in your home unless they quarantined two weeks or had a negative covid test 4 days before Thanksgiving. Ever try to get a covid test? What lines! Good luck with that. Anyways, No turkey here or big meal planned. It is Big Pizza Day. No preparation, no clean-up, just eating. Scooby and Zeke are big pizza fans. So for everyone stuck in their homes with nothing to do but read this, have a Happy Thanksgiving! And start making plans and dieting for a really stomach bursting Thanksgiving in 2021!

Reflections of the past shows some pre-Wordpress blog photos from the old days. I started blogging in 2010 or maybe 2009 I can’t remember. The old blogs are deleted long ago. I also deleted most of my WordPress 2013 and 2014 posts to gain free storage space. The photos today are from 2010 and 2011 Opie and Zeke in no particular order. They were younger then: so were we all and much happier as well. . . . The featured photo is new: Mt. Rainier with a cloud cap. Good News: COMMENTS Allowed again on new posts!

**2010 Zeke and his close friend orange Tabby Verty. They were great playmates until Verty died of cancer. Scooby was specifically selected to be Zeke’s new playmate and things worked out perfectly.** **Zeke had to wait five years for Scooby! I thought another tabby would be the best choice.**

**Dec 19 2010 Opie and Zeke grooming each other**

**Dec 17 2010 my photo appeared on Seattle Q13 Weather Forecast. Opie in foreground. the other three have passed on.**

What day is it? EVERYDAY!

What day is it? EVERYDAY! X’ing off the days on the calendar has never been more important! I wonder if the cats know the difference? I think they notice the changes in the weather. First we had unseasonable hot weather to suffer through, and then we had wildfire smoke to breathe, and now today the typical Pacific Northwest constant rain falling down cleaning everything. The cats still lie about and try to find something to do but mostly it is sleep.

Another Feline Cafe Monday

Yes, it is another Feline Cafe Monday. It is hard to tell one day from the other, but that is not very important to us here. Today we show the boys eating. Unfortunately Scooby is a food bully, and has to have his food bowl given to him first. If someone else gets a bowl first, Scooby goes over and sticks his head in the bowl pushing Zeke’s head out; therefore, I prepare two, put down Scooby’s and then Zeke’s, at a respectable distance. What about Opie. She gets delivery to her bedroom, and no one would dare mess with her bowl! It’s nice Catio Weather and Zeke spends most of his time outside in it. Scooby eats and sleeps mostly. Finally we show Opie in her catbed in her room.

The Visiting Cat

The Visiting Cat is a view of a local cat who has been frequently visiting our house. He has been around for several years, but I don’t know where he lives. Life here is very quiet. The Visiting Cat always gets the cats activated. Where is Opie you may well ask? Opie spends her day in her bedroom on the second floor on the windowsill looking down on the catio and backyard. She sees a lot and knows more than she is telling. She is free to come and go inside the house. Scooby likes napping out there in the catio in the fresh air.
