Up The Wall

It's Inside Still A Bit Feral Friday!


Henry now allows me to pet him all along his back, his noggin, and his sides, and even scritches under his chinny chin chin!

Only first thing in the morning; all other times of the day, it's a no-go.

One thing, however:

Henry pees up the wall occasionally.

Thankfully, we have a supply of pee pads, so after the first incident was carefully cleaned, all liquid is neatly caught.

This occurs only at one litter box; the other seems not to cause him any distress.

His litter boxes are large, high-sided, and of course, he's the only user, so it's a puzzlement as to why he's behaving like this.

My first thought is to move the litter box, and The Hubby and I are carefully considering a new placement.

The vet reports that his kidney values are good, so it could be some territorial issue that we aren't cottoning onto, or he's frustrated if I am not home for the day (travel, work, family stuff).

I've told Henry that we aren't angry, just want to know what we can do to make him happy; so far, he's not telling.

Many Colored Coat

It's PO'Monday!

December, 2014, and Celestial Paddy O'Malley's various fur colors seem to change from image to image.
And some photobombing tailio action too! 😹

Autumn Colors

Although we have rain, rain, rain, the Autumn colors are beautiful!

Manny and Chili Bruce are always wonderful subjects for my art, but they are colorful on their own.

Used my Prima app and iPhoto for this image.

This is real life!
Da Boyz were sleeping rump to rump, and the light caught their fur as black and brown.

Fascination

Sweetie continues to fascinate me!

Her fur, her paws, her whiskey-and-cigarettes meows, and how the full moon, as it lights up the snowy landscape, seems to fascinate her.

Even if it means that she goes from window to window...walking across my sleeping body...to watch whatever it is that she sees.

I've tried; I don't see anything!

Furapalooza

Sweetnesday!

Sweetie, sleeping, with stick legs and tailio!
Her pretty eyes...
...and her tailio.
After a combing session!
As mentioned last Sweetnesday, Sweetie is shedding like crazy.

We are dealing with her loose fur, on the bed, on the carpet, and rolling like tumbleweeds when the box fan is on, despite a recent brooming.

Even though she lived rough for a long time, she enjoys being fussed over and given spa time.

I am happy to oblige!

Postcards From Rosemont: Pft-pthft!

I've been away for a long weekend, and boy oh BOY do I have stories to tell you!

Per my post title, I was in Rosemont, Illinois, for Meow Meetup Chicago.  
Several of our fellow cat bloggers traveled together.  

Monday afternoon, when I arrived home, Manny and Chili Bruce greeted me at the door, and I petted their sleek black bodies, and smooched their furry noggins.

😺Pft-pthft!😺

I climbed the stairs, and Angel was wary of my reappearance in her apartment. I reached out to let her sniff my hands, and I whispered sweet nothings to her.  
Soon, she allowed petting, and she purred, and I smooched her noggin.

😺Pft-pthft!😺

Then...

I scooped all of the litter boxes.

😺

Next, I carried food outside to The 'O' Cats, and I was so happy to see The PO'M and Sweetie!  There was a head-bunt-fest, and so much petting and purring.

I kissed their noggins, and even pressed my face into The PO'Ms furry back...

😺Pft-pthft!😺

The Hubby suggested that I stop smooching cats, so I wouldn't have to spit out cat fur.

AS IF!!!

😺

The joy of being able to hold my beloved cats close enough to kiss them, is a joy that knows no bounds, and I'll NEVER stop, even if I cough up my own hair-ball someday!

Yes, I even smooched this sweet kitten!
Fur as smooth as silk, and a sweet disposition!

The Furring of the Laundry



The Hubby did the laundry!
I am a lucky woman!

Wait a minute...

What the hey?

More evidence...

...and nicely FLATTENED too...

"Oh sure, blame me!"
"Well, Angel, it's white fur...and only you
wear that color, just sayin'"

Oh-de-FUR!


The camera loves Angel

Wha-ooh...look at all the fur!
While taking photos of Angel in one of her favorite beds, I was struck by the huge amount of fur that she has left behind. After she'd vacated her nappy spot, I attempted to clean it out with a damp cloth...
Evidence
I scored two spent whiskers (score!), and a pile of fur and stuff.  The Hubby wants to use the upright vacuum on it! I think I'd rather leave Angel in a nest of fur rather than chance making her unhappy with a cleaned beddy.  She will roam the house, wondering why we messed with her perfectly good set-up.

Any fur is good fur to Chuck
A bed full of Angel's fur does not appear to bother Chucky in the least...

When we can open the windows again, all of the cat beds, sleeping spots and hidey holes will get a thorough shake out, wash, vacuum...whatever is needed to de-fur, so they can begin the process again...

Sweetie Fur!

Not great photos, but proof nonetheless that Sweetie has taken a fancy to me!

That's me, petting Sweetie...she used to shun contact.

My trousers, covered in Sweetie fur
Patty does NOT always like the attention that I give to Sweetie, as he thinks I belong to him. Sweetie has figured out that Patty does not seem to care if I pet her instead of him, when it's the last visit of the night, so that's when we usually have ourselves a love fest before my bedtime.  

This morning, however, she tried it in the bright sunshine, and I got two pant legs of cat fur before I drove off.

The bestest wardrobe malfunction EVER, to be covered in car fur at the office!

Angel's Spots


Chuck and Angel were born July 18, 2004.  And I just recently noticed that the markings in her fur look like a cat!

Well, yeah...
Aren't I just the cutest?

On her other side, Angel has a round dot, which earns her the occasional nickname of "Dottie"

You talkin' to me?
