It's PO'Monday!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley was blepping on February 15, 2014.

Mercurial

It's PO'Monday!

The weather is so changeable in November, as was the case in 2019:

Paddy on my lap, drooling under the overcast sky.

Then, there was snow!

After the snow melted, and the sun came out, Paddy O' tended to his bath, whilst on my lap again!

This cat taught me so much.

I loved him with all my heart, and he loved me right back.

Those green eyes, his goofy antics, and we snuggled at every chance.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Bookstore Cat

Of course I found a cat while vacationing!

Below is Winnie, the cat mascot at Mulberry St. Books, in Lebanon, Ohio.

Winnie's fur was bunny-rabbit soft, but don't even think about picking her up!

After visiting with Winnie, and browsing books and book nerd t-shirts, we sorta infiltrated a book club meeting for The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.

Just so you know, there is snow falling here in southern Ohio; my drive from Metro Detroit straight south on I-75 took me through a few flurries and bright sunshine, but the pavement was never wet or icy.

Just what will we come across next?

😹 Feeling Flushed

Valentine's Day is a subdued affair at Eastside Cats, after more years together than I can count on all of my fingers and toes.

The Hubby and I exchange little love tokens: 

Valentine cut from a fancy box

Valentine painted on the wall, since covered over

Valentine made from snow!

 Gotta tell you, that this year's gift was the bestest ever....

drumroll please....

The Hubby replaced the commode in the downstairs bathroom. 🚽

Yep, the too-low, weirdly flushing monstrosity is gone, and a lovely, purrfectly working model now stands in its stead.

Sheer heaven, folks, let me tell you.

Am so thankful for this upgrade to our lives...and you know what?!?

He'll do the same for the upstairs bathroom; I helped to carry the boxed beast up the stairs, where it waits in the hallway for its final resting spot.

WOOT!!! 😹

Frosty

I liked the way the morning sunshine lit these two pieces of cat yard art.

The frost was glittery, so I ventured out to see what else looked like fun.

 

Even found a tiny bit of snow that hadn't melted yet, next to some green shoots.

Love the way frost makes patterns.

Feeling Arty

It's Caturday!

Lots of things caught my eye this week, so I couldn't choose.

January, 2015

It's PO'Monday!

January 2015 was a very cold, very snowy time.

Always anxious about our 'O' Cats, we'd provided them with an insulated shelter full of straw AND a heaty pad, plenty of fresh water, and lots of kibble, because wet food froze very quickly; too rapid for Sweetie and Celestial Paddy to get their fill of it.

Paddy, despite the challenges, still gave me plenty of lovin'!

The Hubby had created a wind-break out of plexiglas, for The Cat Hotel.

Always hugging my Pommy!

I didn't shovel the driveway or sidewalks; I just shoveled walking paths for The 'O' Cats.
My priorities were purrfect. *wink*

On The Sly

During my morning 'hood walk, Sly joined me when the snow began.

See the snow pellets in his fur?

As you can tell, he was distracted and refused to look into the camera.

Yet, he wouldn't let me leave, and followed me into the neighbor's yard when I attempted to restart my walk.

Totally worth the extra few minutes of canoodling with my fluffy Sly, before launching myself out into the pellet snow.

Meowy Catmas!

While those in the Northern Hemisphere are hunkered down, avoiding the cold and snow, 

we at Eastside Cats wish all a joyous season, and hopes for a wonderful 2023.

Shy Willie

We are thankful today as less snow fell than was predicted!

Here are two videos of Willie, the long-haired cat who visits us once in awhile.

'He's' named Willie, after a character in the "Outlander" series.

And a video of Celestial Paddy O'Malley (listen to him squeak!) made during a similar snowfall years ago.

Tracks

 Evidence of outside cats from this morning!

This image is taken from Sweetie's upstairs apartment window.
The cats go from under the neighbor's deck at the top of the photo, to our sump pump discharge puddle, then into our yard.

More tracks to and from the alley out back.

The sidewalk is a virtual pawprint highway!

Walkway in front of our house.

Although there are tracks, we do not often see the critters!

Are they stray cats, owned but outside cats, or feral?  Dunno yet!

I put out fresh water every morning, and will leave kibble if I see a cat in the area.

The draw is strong to the sump pump puddle, yet no one is yet making a habit of enjoying the kibble.

New O Cats

We've had some visitors...

The long-haired cat in the middle photo is seen most often.

None are showing up with any kind of regularity, so I replace the water every morning, but don't put out food unless I see a cat nearby.

They'll learn that my presence means it's chow time!

We are thankful for The O Cats from before, who taught us a few things about luring strays in.

Always, Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return is our goal, if the cats have no owners.

"If you feed 'em, fix 'em" is our motto.

Oh, for the Love of Pete!

It's Caturday!

Things have been busy 'round Eastside Cats, including having a HUGE (900+ pages!) book to get through before it's due back at the library, and then SNOW!

In my mad dashes to get things done, I grabbed two images that represented this week and artified them with my Prisma app:

Leaves and Snow

It's PO'Monday!

It's that time of year, when the trees are still giving up their leaves, and snow comes along.

Images from November, 2019.

 Winter is my least favorite season, primarily due to my years of caring for outside cats.

The cold, the wind, the ice, and in the back of my mind was the feeling that I was a poor cat-enthusiast, leaving my 'guests' outside in such conditions.

Saturday's light snowfall had me wanting to get out to shovel the deck.

Old habits.

April Fool!

Well, we must respect Mother Nature, despite the curveballs she throws at us!

Eastside Cats is thankful for the roof over our heads, the ability to afford an automobile, and to buy food for ourselves and our cat family.
