I don’t know that we’re caught up on rain yet but it’s slowly getting there. We were awfully dry for a while so were in deficit.
The cats went outside for a while today but weren’t all that happy with the wind. Percy and Big Un came in early and the other three spent their time in spots sheltered from the wind.
They don’t wander much these days. We think the bobcat must walk around the yard and they smell it. He saw it the other night so it’s still around.
Bummer it’s going to get cold again down there. I’m sure it will here again soon but at least it won’t be this week. A nice reprieve.
Sure will be nice when these roller coaster rides are over, won’t it?
Yes! It will be great when we can get off this wild ride we’re on. Just hope it doesn’t stop when the temps are 100+. LOL!
Just broke up a cat fight in the front yard. It was Ghost and another cat, but they were behind some bushes, so I can’t be sure if it was Peaches or not. I called him and finally found him at the back door wanting in mighty bad. There wasn’t a hair out of place so maybe it wasn’t him. Ghost came back there so I fed him and talked to him a bit. He just wanted to eat.
If that bobcat is hanging around that close to the house, the kitties are smart not to want to be out there too long or alone. Kind of creepy! Would your hubby shoot him if he could?
Yeah, it wouldn’t be fun getting stuck at 100 degrees. TOO hot!
It could have been the gray cat Ghost was fighting with, telling it that the yard is HIS territory and it had better scram. Peaches probably stayed out of the way and was grateful to be able to get back inside where it’s safe.
Nice to know ghost has a full tummy to get him through the night.
Hubby will only shoot the bobcat if it messes with our cats or with him while he’s in the garage.
We kind of like the cats staying close to the house these days so it serves a purpose on that count. And if it’s hanging out in the barn, it’s keeping other varmints out. I doubt there are any raccoons or possums living there this winter.
Good morning, Mooch...our heroes make for wonderful reading.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Star. How's it going?
If they are living there, they’ll be lunch soon enough!! Maybe it’ll move on when spring arrives. It would be nice if it would take out a few coyotes before he leaves. LOL!
Peaches was very happy to be back in here, though they do like to be out when it’s not freezing. Ghost is welcome here, but he needs to learn that these two are off limits to his possessiveness.
He and Peaches have gotten into it, and Peaches did ok by himself. I hate to break up all fights, so the other cats don’t think he’s a wimp, but on the other hand, I don’t want him injured either.
The varmints have lived in the barn every winter for years. I imagine a few were lunch already and others decided to live somewhere else.
It’s not large enough to take out a coyote. I’m not sure I’d like having a cat around that WAS that large. I wouldn’t walk out the door at night.
It’ll be hard to get Ghost to stop fighting with the other two. Heck, a couple of ours still get into spats when they go outside though they get along fine in the house. LOL
Well, they know where that fly swatter is in the house. LOL!
Guess I’d better go for now. This morning was too early for this Night Owl. Even with the nap I had, I haven’t caught up on sleep yet.
See ya tomorrow? That is, unless you get caught up in the family tree. I saw your post. I’ve done the same thing! I need to do some work on mine, but if I were to even look at it right now, I’d be chasing rabbits all night!
Indeed they do know where that fly swatter is. LOL! Right here at me desk. Hubby has one on his desk, too, in case they show their butts while they’re hanging out in his man cave.
I think I’m going to take a break from the family tree stuff. At least the stuff I’ve been working on tonight. That appears to be a dead end.
I did find a little more info last night on my 6-times-great-grandfather who fought in the Revolutionary War. That limb of the family tree has been quite fruitful. There’ll be more digging into that side. :-)
Sleep well and have a great day tomorrow.
Thanks for starting my Presidents’ off in the right foot.
Stay Warm and Snuggly!
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. About to take Bo to the ver for his monthly visit. How’s it going?
Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
All is well here. It’s warming up. I kind of wish it would rain some more. We barely had enough to dampen the sidewalk.
Hope Bo gets a good report from the vet! Where will you go for your walk this afternoon? Have a good time!
Got a good report from the vet. We will head out to the lake later today. Doing Waurika Lake today.
It is so unfortunate that such a lovely lady as yourself must suffer with not being able to sleep.
I shall pray tonight that you are able to fall asleep easily and get a full night’s sleep without waking up all night long! ;-)
Good deal that he’s healthy! Have fun at the lake! :)
Well, thank you. I shall report the results of your prayers tomorrow.
If I remember. *grin*
ROTFL!!
That is SO appropriate!
Isn’t it, though? LOL!
