ManCat Monday

The cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. - H. P. Lovecraft
Checking for any cooties that mum might have missed! I smell and hear things that she doesn't!

First mum says thanks for the birthday wishes. The only bad thing is that she had to get up early so she could go to her meeting. Something about long range planning for the local library. My long range planning is when I can mooch my next treat! But mum said it was a good meeting. She came home for a while, then went to eat dinner with Grampie.

Sunday the weather was yukky again. Rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow. ::sigh:: Mum says that should be ::SIGH:: at least from her. But less snow than they predicted, which was very good

But I teleported down to Florida to be with my M-Cat Club furiends, we even had Sammy Meezer drive as a last minute replacement in the Daytoner 500. Sammy finished 20th. Not bad for a first timer. He beat lots of former champions. Way to go Sammy!

Someone asked if we did the Great Backyard Bird Count this winter. Yes we did. Actually mum participates in Project Feeder Watch, so she does the birdie counting every weekend during the winter. If you like to do birdie counts and watching, you can sign up too. They are still accepting people to sign up for this winter until the end of February. Or wait and sign up for next winter!

  4. Happy belated birthday to your mum, Derby! I see you got her snow for a present!

    We completely missed the bird count this year. It's too bad, too, because this year we've had phoebes regularly visit, and goldfinches, too. We don't get a big variety, so these guys are a big deal for us.

  6. I am glad you got less snow than they predicted. We have been hearing that it is stopping the other candidates in their tracks. I am lucky to have a staunch Wiskerconsinite there to do the campaigning for us!
