Mini-ManCat Monday

Even with nine lives, cats are never with us long enough.

Oh yeah, you humans never want us to leave but you know we must. It is rare when you leave us behind, although Derby's first human had to leave him behind. 

I sat with mum while she watched THE INTERVIEW last night. Mum thought it was interesting and will be interested to see the reaction of the YouKay peoples, and the rest of you too.

It continues to be nice, melting and such. The window in the kitch-hen has been open just a little bit during the afternoon. Plus the window in the sleepy room is open a little bit over night too. Love the fresh air!

The sun has moved far enuf north that it shines in the big back windows makes it nice to take a nap in my cat cup. Can't wait for it to be so nice that the big window there can be opened. 

Mum made good progress on the last blankie she is making. She watch part of a baseball game, and crashcar too, plus the interview. But she didn't read a book this weekend. She will get back to that today. 

Mum did about 5 minutes worth of yard work. Enuf to rake out the mess from the suet feeder that was all over the grass. Plus a little of the snow mold, but the grass is too wet to do more at this time. 

We counted lots of fevvers, we have seen all of the early spring migrator fevvers. Good thing, plus mum saw a crane flying way overhead as well. Cool!

Have a wonderful week everyone. 

Stay safe, stay healthy, wear a mask and get the vaccine when you can. 

 

Caturday

 HiYa Ducky here. Happy Caturday. It is starting out with a bright and sunny day. Not warm yet as there is frosting on the roofs of the houses. The snow is gone from our roof but some near us still have snow. But then they didn't have Dan the Man come and rake their roofs.

Here you can see our roof and the part of the garden where the sun has made the snow disappear. Still lots of snow as you can see, but hey, not everything we are seeing is white now.  Mum also says she will have to rake as there is snow mold in places and a mess under the one suet feeder.

The trail behind the house is now visible too. The part by us gets sun almost all day long so it melts first. Lots of snow up and down the trail. Mum said it will be icy so she won't go walking on it any time soon! Yeah mum, don't break anything again OK?

Mum started her last blankie of the season. She has made lots but all the yarns makes her lap warm, especially when I want to sit there too. After this blankie it is on to hats for the summer. 

Mum got a really nice pic of me yesterday. I had my tocks in the sun getting all warm and she was reading for a bit. She got her flashy box out and caught me at my best, looking handsome. 

Mum says we are going to watch and count fevvers later. The early spring birds are back, we can both hear and see them. Keep melting snow, go away!

That is it for now, have a wonderful weekend.

Puzzle Thursday

 Hey everyone, welcome to Thursday. It has been bright and sunny and melty here this week. Most important you can see in this picture. 

Do you see it? Yes?! It's an open window! Yippee! Mum went into the kitch-hen to make her lunch yesterday and opened this up just a little bit. While she was getting her lunch made I jumped up to check it out. Mum came over and took my picture. Mum left it open for the rest of the day too. 

The pics are of our yard, we get lots of snow and you can see that the snow has melted back away from the street on our side. Plus the edge of the drive has reached the first tree. Other places are getting thin too. 

Mum has seen a couple of spring birds too, but not every day. Even so it is nice to see the fevvers are feeling it is OK to come back north. 

Supposed to get warmer next week. 

Puzzles, one of me and two that mum took when she was in France at Giverney.

With their qualities of cleanliness, discretion, affection, patience, dignity, and courage, how many of us, I ask you, would be capable of being cats? - Fernand Mery

Mum might make it as a cat. Well, she is a bit deficient in cleanliness. She hates to clean!

 Me and mum were bummed to find out yesterday that Spitty had taken off for The Bridge. Mum got all leaky eyed and made my furs wet. Spitty was a grand dude and we will miss him lots. 

Enjoying the sunshine coming through the windows and underneath me is a nip mouse. Mum got a video of me enjoying it. 

Otherwise me and mum had a quiet weekend. Lots of snow melting too.

Caturday

 HiYa Ducky here, Happy Caturday! All is well in Ducky-land this morning. I need to report that mum got shot on Thursday! Not the gun kinda shot but the virus shot! Woohoo, one step closer to getting this stupid pandemic under control. Mum is also the first in the family to get the shot but lots of her furiends have gotten at least one shot and in some cases both shots.

We got a furry light bit of snow overnight, but mum is just going to let it melt!

In other fun news mum was out yesterday getting her taxes done by her CPA man, they had a nice chat and his dog Elliott was getting overly friendly with mum. She said he just kept licking her ankles! Then he started on her elbow! Must like the lotion that mum puts on. Mum is happy, green papers are coming back. I hope she spends them all on me!

On the way home mum stopped to get some lunch. Since it was Friday she got a nice fishy fry and you bet she shared it with me. 

She finished one blankie and started another, plus a library run for more books!

Gosh mum you have had a couple of bizzy days! I think to need to stay home and rest up and cuddle with me. Yep she should. 

You all have a wonderful weekend!

Stay safe, stay healthy, wear a mask, get the vaccine when you can (mum did).

Puzzle Thursday

 We're melting! That is a good thing, the snow is slowly going away. Mum even went outside without a jacket on for a few minutes the other day. 

Mum had our man Dan come over to rake the roof on Monday and it is melting off really nice. I even snoopervised Dan and he did do a good job. 

 The front on Monday, the back on Monday

The back on Tuesday

The front on Wednesday, and the back on Wednesday. Lots of snow gone!

 Mum knocked the top of the pile of snow off so we can now see the fevver bath again. Since it got warm we have water again for the fevvers, not just ice! 

Me inspecting the new blankie mum started last night. She finished the last one during the day on Wednesday, started the new one in the evening.

Puzzles, one of the above pic and some flowers!

Mum pets me lots and says I have a nice soft and smooth coat. Mum loves petting me. I got all sorts of loves for Love Your Pet Day. Heck, mum loves me every day. 

Me helping mum with the crow-shay yesterday. She did a bunch of it while watching the CrashCar race, she gets lots done while she "watches" sports. She did some too while she was watching the flying boats in the evening.

 It is going to get warmer this week and a bit of snow to clear off, but warm enuf for melting to happen. We can wait to see the ground again. We are jealous big time for those of you who are seeing flowers already!

Mum got a moovie of me getting lots of love from her the other night. Warning, extreme closeups!

Sports report -  the flying boat races are done for now. They Eye-talians won enuf races to be the boat to race against the current champ, the New Zealand team. The final set of races will start sometime towards the end of next week.

Caturday

 HiYa Ducky here. Happy Caturday. Woohoo, it is the weekend, not that weekends matter that much around here. 

Mum attended the Annual Birthday Bash for some of her furiends last night. Not the usual party at the dance club but online and Zoom. Mum is no longer a Zoom virgin! A few kits made their appearance and so did I! A couple of woofies too, but mum didn't get pics of them all. But we heard the barks.

Mum liked it cuz she didn't have to drive anywhere, didn't have to buy drinks and not worry about drinking and driving! Although it was hard to visit with just a couple people, there was only one topic that mum wasn't into that much. 

Me? Well I did make my appearance and then wandered off to nap. Mum didn't stay on the party long and went to watching the sailing races. Miss Michelle, mum has been into watching the sailing races for a long time. She even remembers getting up in the middle of the night to watch when they were in Perth many years ago. We is happy that the You-Kay boat won a race, we hope they win a few more.

Me staring mum down. I think you need to give me treats, now, lots and lots of treats. Yummy, yummy treats. Plus mum went and got her toes painted a funky blue. Mum is planning on staying home the rest of the weekend.

Puzzle Thursday

 First mum wants to say thank for the purrthday wishes. She got herself a really nice meal from a local place that had a Mardi Gras menu. So mum got a lobster roll and beignets. Yummy stuff. 

We are coming out of our deep freeze. The snow machine the other day that hit part of Whiskerconsin with lots and lots of snow. Thankfully we were not in that area, but we still got some snow. Mum is tired of clearing off snow, and places to put it too. The pile by the end of the driveway is up to her chest. Driving around town she has to be careful cuz she can't see traffic at turns. Hopefully it will start to melt soonest. 

Puzzles today. One of me and a couple of colorful ones.Mum made them with fewer pieces since they have funky patterns.
