Sunday Randomness #14 : Closet cat tunnel

Yes, we're the kind of people to cut a connecting tunnel between two closet walls to give our 16 1/2-year-old cat more room.  Jack  has not been too happy with a second dog joining the family, especially one that hovers around 75-80 pounds.  Consequently he's been spending most of his time in the main bedroom which has a small bathroom with his little box under the sink.  I thought of the tunnel, Mego did the construction work and the rebuild-lining the bottom, sides and top so that it is a tunnel between the rooms and not just a hole in the wall between two adjoining closets.   Jack went through on his own and Daisy said he started meowing like he couldn't believe what had just occurred.  How did he happen to find himself in her room?!?!  He has the connection down pat now and goes between the rooms to wherever he thinks he'll get treats or attention or a good napping spot on a bed.  We did check for wiring and studs on both sides before making any holes in the walls.  Safety first!  Glasses and face mask were employed in the demolition phases.  And Mego used simple tools-nothing too drastic.

Sunday Randomness #51: Library programs and cat chin scratching

I just don't think the instrument petting zoo would give one the same experience as petting a soft purry Jack-Jack.  Hedgehog is giving a demonstration of the way our cat likes his chin scratched.  From the bottom picture you can see he's not as fond of head scratching v. chin scratching.  (When he really likes something he squints his eyes-it's very cute-and he starts a deep purr.)

Kudos though to Riverton Music for a clever idea that certainly caught the attention of our patrons.  For more information about Riverton Music you can visit their website at: https://www.rivertonmusic.com/

Sunday Randomness #47: Jack's Return

Sunday Randomness #92 : Casual combinations

One of Hedgehog's final projects for AP Statistics about the Association between Gender and Substance Abuse.

 Jack leaves little presents like compressed fur balls, loose clumps of fur,
and shed outer claw nails.  Measurement tape is turned to the centimeter side.

Happiness can be found in simple things like homemade buttermilk waffles.

Mica, Daisy, and Hedgehog did color eggs this year for Easter.  

Sunday Randomness #302: Jack faces off with a zucchini

 What is this thing and why is it on my chair?!?!?!?

 I'll just ignore it.  Zucchini is a squash too ordinary for me to give it much attention-especially when it was a gift squash. If we had grown it there might have been some reflected glory but we can't take any credit for this giant chair-stealing veggie.

Ball number 6 (the little orange thing nestled in my fur) and I are just taking a little break from playing.  Most of the time I fiercely attack and chase my multiple little rubber ball nemeses.  I'm really on a roll when I bat one down the stairs.

Yes, that is correct.  One should kneel before royalty.  I approve of your abject humbleness when faced with my regal bearing and demeanor.
