Nicholas sleeping with not a care in the world it looks like after a hard day playing.

Nicholas Selfie #1. We will make it official. He is in Opie’s abandoned room. She moved downstairs to my bedroom.


Nicholas and the catnip carrot



Nicholas goes for a walk. Not exactly what it looks like. He got snatched while sleeping. I carried him around the house for a tour and he was OK with it, but putting him down, he was back to his old “do not get to close” routine. He put up no struggle and did not try to get down. My theory is he was given medicine orally and is afraid he is getting more. Or maybe his tail was treated with something painful. Guess we will never know. I caught him a second time but did not have a good hold of him and he jumped away.



Happy Birthday Opie! You were the oldest cat of all, picked up living on a neighbor’s porch and brought home. You were just a small kitten. Now you have outlasted them all. Finally you own the penguin blanket. She moved downstairs out of her old room into my bedroom where she stays most of the time, generally on the window. Sleeping in a cat bed at the end of my bed. She comes out and likes to sit on my lap while I watch television. Happy Birthday Miss Opie!




Nicholas and the feather wand. He really wears himself and me out playing. I can move it closer so it is in right in front of my feet. When I stop he slowly saunters away and sits to see if I am going to let him have another go at it. He doesn’t show anxiety and fear, but just seems cautious for some unknown reason.
