Thanks for sharing...they are gorgeous!
I think they’re gorgeous, too, but I could be a bit biased. LOL!
I hoped Raivis would be the daddy but was told today that the momma was pregnant when she was dumped by her previous owners. Whoever the daddy was, the two of them created some beautiful offspring. The third kitten is a beauty too.
Evening, Kathy!
Good evening/morning, Luv...such brave men.
I still miss Raivis terribly. He was such a sweet boy and pretty too. It would have been awesome if these kittens were his. But they’re pretty awesome in their own right. :-) The daddy must have been a pretty feller. Momma is just an ordinary orange and white cat and the kittens have unusual coloring. Not Arabelle so much but the other two. More buff and white.
Brown/black tabbies have always been my favorite. They look ordinary to most people but when you look closely at their markings, they can be so cool. Percy has what looks like the outlines of a guitar on the top of his head.
Good evening/morning, radu....she is down and the light is off. Now we have a carousel on the lawn....and we also had several bigger birds crash into the picture window right in front of her.
I heard the crashes in the other room, and when I checked, one was just lying in the snow below the window. I watched it for about 15 minutes and didn’t see any movement. Later it was gone and I didn’t see any paw prints around the depression.
Did you dodge the snow? We had BRIGHT sunshine and LOTS of drip, drip, drip. I had to beat the garbage can with a hammer to get the lid open....completely iced over.
Good evening, Mooch....did winter find you yet?
Are you staying warm?
Below zero temps here, then a day up to 42, then back into the 20s. Can’t make up its mind.
What a cool marking the guitar would be!
I used to have THE sweetest long-haired gray tabby named Frosty. He was so lazy that he was run over because he couldn’t be bothered to move out of the street. Broke my heart.
I got him at the pound. I didn’t GO there to get a cat, but he reached through the bars to me and...well....he was mine at that moment!
I keep hoping that Raivis will some day wander back into your life. Or do you know for sure that he’s dead?
Is the carousel something new? I don’t recall hearing about that one before.
Sounds like the sunshine was an uplift for y’all after all the cloudy weather and snow, but not so good for the birds. Hope the one you saw on the ground is ok since it appears to have left on its own.
We had a few spits of snow here but that was it. There was a little more in the north part of the state but it was scattered light showers. Next chance for any precip is Thursday and that should be rain.
Yuck with having to beat the trash cans to throw stuff away. That’s just too much cold creating too much work. No fun.
I thought it was pretty cool too. Haven’t had a cat with a guitar making on its head before.
Poor Frosty! Too bad he couldn’t decide to be lazy in the yard rather than in the street. :-(
We haven’t found a body so he wasn’t hit by a car, but that usually means they’ve been caught by coyotes. Nothing to find except a bone or two. I ran into that a few years ago when our potbelly pig was still alive. Found a shoulder blade and a jaw bone at the edge of his pen but have no clue which cat they were from.
The fact he hasn’t been seen by anyone makes us certain he’s gone forever. He was around for a few months before he got brave enough to let me pet him and he spent most of that time either here or next door at Hubby’s cousin’s farm.
Hope is gone.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Star. How's it going?
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?
Weather is cold still — yuk! I’m warming up with some tea & conservative media on YouTube!
LOL! Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
You’re up extra early this morning. How do you do it!
All is well here...just need to finish watching my show then off to snoozeland I go! Guess I’ll see you again when I get up!
Did you and Bo have good adventures “yesterday”?
The carousel is a couple of weeks old....and yes, it is new. She is seeing it every day.
Hope you get your rain later in the week.
The ice broke up pretty easily on the barrels, but they were completely covered. I’ve moved them out from under the dripping eaves. Which reminds me...I need to go put them back against a wall instead of the middle of the driveway.
I wish you’d go out sometime in the spring and he’d be waiting for you. But...you have lots of other sweeties to keep you busy.
Sounds like a great way to warm up.
Stay warm!
God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.
A never-ending adventure with her, isn’t it? No telling what she’ll come up with next. At least the carousel shouldn’t be as frightening to her as the men who climb the trees and houses.
It would be nice to get some more rain this week. The ground is still a little soft from the rain we’ve gotten this month but we can use a lot more. We’ll see what happens.
I’m just hoping they don’t move the date they expect the rain to move in. We want clouds that day so the groundhog won’t see its shadow. LOL!
Yes, moving the trash cans might be a good idea. Don’t need you backing over them in the morning!
