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.

Christine's Calendar Cat for August 2020

Scooby is my Love Christine’s Calendar Cat pick for August 2020. The calendar was a present made by Christine and Spike, and sent late last year for use this year. Christine has been sending calendars to me from Scotland for many years now. 😻❤💕

Staying Cool

The summer weather has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. It is usually short lived so people don’t bother much wasting money on air conditioning. We tough out the hot days with fans and hiding in the shadows. Today Scooby found a direct line with a fan and is having his nap as the fan sweeps back and forth keeping us all alive another day. (Note: a month ago Scooby had a large harmless tumour removed from the base of his tail. The tail hair has not all grown back yet. He is fine. ) NEXT post Saturday 1 August.

Happy 7th Blogversary to us here on WordPress. How the time flies by. I have done many different blogs many places but this is the only one left and the blog of longest duration.Thought I would throw a few photos up today both new and old, but first a little reminiscing. When this blog began here in 2013, there were three cats: Zeke, Opie, and Marigold. October 2015 Scooby joined the gang as the fourth.

Sadly in January 2019 Marigold died and we were back to three, so in the 7 year run here, she was the only casualty for which we are very thankful. Let’s look at some new and old photos through the years here today. If you remember the old ones, you are an old timer!

**Scooby can’t wait for Christmas again!** He misses the snow.

Happy Birthday Zeke (11 years). Once again I cannot believe another birthday has rolled around. We are thankful for them all. I cannot believe you are this old either! You were born to two feral cats and lived in a flowerpot on a neighbor’s porch. You were called “Mop” as they would chase you out their front door when you sneaked in with a mop! They wanted me to take you but I already had five cats and did not want another. Finally I agreed and I am glad I did! Today I shall post some older photos of you to remember some of the good old days.
