It's been an experience with these kitties at the Chance household. Snoopy went missing again yesterday. I spent about ten minutes crawling under beds and looking in cupboards before I remembered the attack position. Can you find the kitty?
Look how high this is!!! Figuring out she wasn't going to get in a surprise attack this time, she came down and made a beeline for the OTHER bathroom where she gets fed. That's so the door can be kept closed to keep Missy out. Missy thinks there is not enough cat food in the world for her!!
Only having access twice a day, Snoopy now eats all her food at one sitting before following me to the living room for some lap love. This girl is the most affectionate cat I've ever known. In case you were wondering why Missy isn't in the pictures, she is NOT a lap cat. She might sit at my feet for a few minutes, then she's gone to stare out a window.
Snoopy literally spent an hour rubbing all over me, coaxing out pets and rubs from one end to the other. Pffttt Tufffttt ... that's me spitting out kitty hair!! It's one of the hazards of all this kitty love.
Once finally comfortable, she goes right to sleep .... and you are not allowed to move. It's the rules!! I'm sure my pups wonder where I am for two hours every afternoon, especially when I come home smelling like a cat house!!
Since I figured out the bat problem with the hummingbird feeder, the hummers have been going crazy. It must be the time of year. There are always at least six or seven flying back and forth making sure no one is allowed to drink before their turn.
I love capturing these guys in flight. You can see the white tips of their tail feathers.
You can also see what it takes to make a perfect landing on the rim. I could sit for hours and watch them. Instead however, I need to get moving. MY moving day is fast approaching as I head to a rally meeting in California. The only reason I'm going is to ensure I get a golf car for the ENTIRE week.
It used to be that was not a problem. Then someone of importance decided I only needed one for two days. Sorry folks, but I'm not walking around the entire fairgrounds every day looking for the 15 captains I need to meet up with to discuss how much ice cream to deliver, let alone needing one to make the deliveries when the time comes.
Since you have to turn in your "material request" early, here's what I said.
Golf Cart: ONE ... FOR THE ENTIRE SEVEN DAYS
Radio: None, I'm giving it up for a golf cart for 7 days.
Hats: None, I'm giving them up for a golf cart for 7 days.
Chairs: None, I'm giving them up for a golf cart for 7 days.
ETC, ETC .......... Think they'll get the hint???
It's poker night, so I'm off to purchase salad supplies. I love it when the neighborhood gets together!! I think I'll try to get my friends at my other home to do this. We will see if California neighbors are as nice as Arizona neighbors are!!
I also went to the Tucson Botanical Gardens ... not really my cup of tea, but I was rather surprised. Pictures tomorrow.
The kitties can be so entertaining at times and most love to relax o your lap. Playing hide and seek with them is always a fun time.
ReplyDeleteThese two kids are crazy. I forgot how entertaining kitties can be.
DeleteIt is a trade off. You give some love and attention to the cats and they help you to calm down and learn how to really live life.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I think you're right. They certainly take your mind off everything!
DeleteIf it a 'normal' day for me (not traveling 500 miles in a day) I nearly ALWAYS look at your blog first thing...but this morning, 7:30...no post except for yesterdays. Then I remembered that "I" am on Eastern time now... lol (yes, we made it home!)
ReplyDeleteHahaha ... you're just up too early Dave!! Glad you made it home safe. Those 500 mile days are a killer!!
DeleteBetter to come home smelling like a cat house from kitties than the other kind. LOL
ReplyDeleteClemson would never forgive us if we came home smelling like cats or other dogs.
Hope you get the golf cart!!!
My kids don't seem to mind the cats, but don't come home smelling like another dog!!!!
