Zaz on Her Tree Bed

A young cat, curly coated tabby tortie brown black, red and cream is lying horizontally in the photo, on a cat tree. She is on a blanket with a couple of toys on either side of her, but her head is turned and she is looking directly at the camera with yellow green eyes. She has long white whiskers
Zaz on her Tree Bed

Zaz has always been more of a cliff cat than a cave one. So she was really happy when I took her heated pad out of the box and put it on the shelf. She surveys her kingdom from here, with her trusty puppy friend by her side. It’s the best thing to do on a snowy stormy day.

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate. Which must surely be everyone.

You can see my cats gallery here.

Under the Feeder

A red squirrel is sitting sideways on, with sunflower seed hulls scattered about on the ground. She is facing the camera with her front paws holding a seed to her mouth . There is fresh green grass behind her and a few dried old brown autumn leaves.
Under the feeder

We don’t hang bird feeders any longer due to the risk of spreading disease, but in the days when I did, we were visited by opportunistic red squirrels. They joined the mourning doves on the ground, scavanging for dropped seeds, but had the advantage of being able to climb the pole to get direct access. This was taken in April one year. It’s another few months until we see the Spring, but it will come. Have a lovely day, friends! She features on my Wildlife Gallery.

Help Wanted

A young curly coated tabby cat with long white whiskers is perched precariously on top of a thin coated laundry hanging rack, which is only partly open. She is sideways on to us along the rack, looking to our right.  Behind her is a bright window, table lamp, and wooden chair.
I can’t figure out what to do next

I’ve been a bit absent on here lately, for a few reasons. The first was that the server I host my site on was having issues with attacks which caused it to be intermittently offline and was very frustrating. In time they got it sorted, but then, just as all was back to normal, I got ill. It’s nothing serious, but has kept me from doing anything that wasn’t urgent. I’m getting back to normal, slowly, I’m glad to say. So this is a fun post to say I’m still here.

You don’t need to worry about me, though. As you can see, I have lots of help with household chores. Zaz couldn’t quite work out how to put up the laundry rack, though. I suggested she just stick to cleaning the dishes. Or take up tightrope walking. You just can’t get competent help these days! I am considering asking the agency for a more experienced replacement.

There has been another post since the last time I sent out emails. This one features “The Band” at our wedding, which will not be what you expect, I think and there is a video song to enjoy as well. Take a look here: https://www.elliekennard.ca/the-band/

See you soon, friends.

A young tabby cat is perched on thin metal bars on a partly folded laundry rack, looking to our left.  behind is a room with sofa, bright windows,  wood floor and a blue laundry basket. There is also an erected laundry rack whose arms are raised so they almost look like wings on the cat.
What do you mean? I’m perfectly comfortable.
