Serenity

I posted that The 'O' Cats were acting a bit off.

Update: Sweetie and Paddy O'Malley are back to their usual antics, and neither have disappeared or missed a snack since late last week.  Even though the weather continues to be up and down, we three shared some time together on the deck.

Wha OH!  Photobombed!

Goofball Paddy

Whatever disturbed them has faded.

Thanks to all who suggested that I be patient.

You were right; they are tough kitties!

Sweet Sweetie Makes Biscuits Then Gets Photobombed!

Find the video on YouTube here

I love the way Sweetie makes biscuits while standing up!  Then The POM *MUST* get between her and me.  

And yes, the backyard is covered ankle-deep in fallen leaves.  Sure, it's pretty, but it will take 50 to 60 yard refuse paper bags to remove it all!  

Mostly Maple leaves

Buffer Zone

You cannot see it, but I'm smooching him!

Sweetie, on guard

Patty puts himself between me and Sweetie...

...and usually hits my face with his tailio!

Ahh, an uninterrupted view of Sweetie!...

...WAIT!  Patty headbutted my hand...

...next photo, is his furry backside

Once again, Patty O'Malley has inserted himself between me and Sweetie.  He is my personal body guard, or makes himself into a buffer zone to keep me away from anything dangerous, be it another kitty...or snow drop flowers!

Snow Drops!

More Snow Drops...uh oh, here he comes!

Patty is securing the perimeter

Double Trouble

 

Wow, Patty and Sweetie, allowed themselves to be photographed TOGETHER!  Well, the truth is, I took some solo pics of Patty ('cause that's easy enough!), then tried for some Sweetie alone.  Of course, Patty must insert himself between me and her, so I took the opportunity to get them both in one shot.  For awhile, they were even having a staring contest!  Oh kitties, why cannot we all just get along?

Backyard Sweetie

I just love Sweetie!  Since she has allowed petting and fur-pulls, I delight in hearing her purrs and meows.  She, however, is still not a fan of the photo, so I must zoom in some to capture her pretty face.

Sweetie, in the sunshine

Uh-oh, here comes Patty!

Photobomb!  Or, a total eclipse of Sweetie

 

Proof that Sweetie allows scritches...with
Patty trying to pry me away with licks

Sweetie is saying, "Ooh, that feels good!"

Sweetie has runny eyes, and she has a cough too.  I plan on trapping her for a vet visit in the Spring. We have not tested her for FIV or FeLV, since she was so feral in the beginning.  Veterinarian's want to euthanize cats with either of these, especially outside cats, using the excuse that they can infect other cats.  Well, she isn't fighting with or biting anybody; she minds her own beeswax, and allows Patty O'Malley to push her around a little bit.  We will care of her for the rest of her life, no matter what.  The Hubby calls her 'Lady', while I switch between 'Mama' and 'Sweetie'.  Hopefully, she understands LOVE!

Tuesday Toes

 

Sweetie has curious little bits of white fur speckling her feets, and it's rare to be able to snap some photos of them.  And of course, if I'm paying close attention to Sweetie, then Patty O'Malley has to step into the frame too!
