Feline Friday

If you've ever cooked over an open fire or dined in the outdoors, you know that somehow everything tastes better when eaten outdoors. You can eat the SAME THING inside and OUTSIDE and some will say it tastes more flavorful when enjoyed in the fresh air!

I think Lily would agree with that, although she loves her fresh catnip wherever she can get it!

Is the coast clear?

 The sun is in my eyes!

Dis treat smells SO good!

Argh, matey!

 Dis catnip is SO TASTY when enjoyed outside!

Lily and I hope you can all get outdoors this weekend and enjoy some catnip or other tasty treat of your choosing!

Happy Feline Friday!

Feline Friday: New Heights!

Lily has had a good week (other than another trip to the vet for her anal glands...). In fact, she's been doing quite a bit more climbing and jumping than she usually does!

Earlier this week, I was finishing up some kits in the dining room when she arrived on the scene and plopped herself down in front of the china cabinet. I NEEDS TO GO UP, she begged.

 After she calculated the height, she rightly concluded it was well beyond her ability to jump. But she simply would not stop begging! So naturally 😉 I decided to give her a boost...just to satisfy her curiosity!

 

Of course, Lily thought being on top of the china cabinet was just about the coolest thing ever! It had been a very long time since she'd been up there. We'll have to take her word for it: The view is amazing!

  Lily wondered if she could go even HIGHER! 

 

 NOPE!

 

 For a few minutes, Lily was content to be have such a great perch from which to survey her kingdom!

Going on top of the china cabinet definitely won't be a regular thing, but it was fun for just a little while!

HAPPY FELINE FRIDAY!

Blogging friends, I have fallen short in keeping up my blog. When 2020 came, I was SURE this would be the year I'd get back on track but alas, that has not been possible. This pandemic situation has been crazy for sure, and I've actually been busier with my work than I've ever been! Of course, this is a GREAT thing but I haven't been able to accomplish all I wanted to with my blog. I'm still hoping to get back to posting more often than just on Feline Fridays, so thanks for your patience. It will happen!

Feline Friday: New Friends!

 

  The window bird feeder turned out to be a great little purchase! We use it to attract finches, in particular the Eastern Goldfinch which is our state bird. After we remembered to hang it up a couple of weeks ago, the finches quickly discovered it and have been stopping by regularly for a snack.

Sometimes they are greeted by Lily, so when that happens they naturally make a beeline out of there! But other times, the light is just right and they don't seem to detect her as quickly. That's what happened last weekend. I happened to be right there and it was the cutest encounter I've seen in quite some time!

 

 

If you have a kitty in your house, I highly recommend a window feeder. Hours of educational viewing!

 

 Happy Feline Friday!

Feline Friday

Well, another "work week" on lock-down is coming to an end. Truthfully, not much has changed for me since this all started, since I do most of my work from home anyway.

If you could interview Lily, I'd guess that she'd say her days are still pretty much the same, too! The only difference is that she's getting a LOT of attention nearly ALL the time. Not that she didn't get plenty of attention before the lock-down, mind you. But now she's getting even more. 👀

This week, she went outside for a few strolls around the patio. On our recent walk, she spotted a squirrel chattering on the far edge of the yard. "Meowmy, he looks just like the ones on my YouTube video!"

Then a bird flew overhead and landed in the pine tree. "WHOA! That was cool!"

Lily was also up to her usual tricks this week, wearing her blankie to the kitchen after waking up from a long nap.

In case I don't QUITE get the message, she always turns to look pointedly at the fridge.

 And like always, I dutifully complied.

Nope, nothing's changed around here! 😉

Happy Feline Friday, friends! Stay safe out there.
