The cats enjoyed dust baths in the driveway all summer long. They flop and roll and stand up covered with dust, really pleased with themselves. The fall rains have arrived now, and the amber lawn of late summer has returned to emerald green again.
dust bath time
Miss Nimbus seemed to be outgrowing her collar, so I treated her to a new baby girl pink one. It is missing this morning, I will have to search outdoors for it. This morning’s preliminary stroll netted me wet shoes and nothing more.
With the cooler weather, bead making season is winding down too.
Nims chasing a Christmas Mouse
The cats had a festive holiday, a dusting of snow, special treats to eat, a little catnip, and Christmas presents! Here is Miss Nimbus chasing a Christmas Mouse that has a special pull string to make it animated.
One cat carried said mouse upstairs, the double-take when you spot a mouse in your bedroom is entertaining. In the photo you can just see the gold ribbon on the back of Nim’s collar. I had super glued several festive streamers on her collar and she promptly pulled all but one of them off. She then lost her collar outdoors, and I put on a substitute new collar, a soft baby girl pink that complimented her ears. A white cat with white ears is something to watch. The vet pointed out to me that when she is interested in something, the blood flow increases and her ears turn a bright pink.
A few days later I found her original collar outdoors. When I held it up to put it back on her, she heard the bell and ran for it. No self respecting cat would want to wear gold streamers, please let me keep the pink collar!
Mo, Sawdust, and Nimbus
Here they are hanging out watching Mr Sawdust, who had been showing off his tree climbing skills. Sawdust even got a pinch of catnip out on the porch, to ring in the new year.
