Besides the mostly very elderly cats here, a younger crowd provides entertainment. For the most part, they're happy healthy and insanely funny.

| Tickle, from Quartzville road is curious, a bit odd looking with a lanky body and small head, and fun loving. |

| Prissy from Quartzville road with elderly Hawkeye in background |
 |
| Prissy also enjoys hanging out inside and literally hanging out upside down on my ancient cat trees. |
 |
| Prissy is full of expressions. |

| Machi from the 7-11 colony in Sweet Home. |

| Tball--the master of dramatic pose. He and his sisters are more middle aged. |

Dramatic pose boy Tball could have a career as a cat model. This was him, striking a pose, even before he came here, in the park, where all four teenagers resided until the camp host warned me of a cougar seen just above the berry vines where they were living. I went back that night and recaught them all, unable to sleep to think of them hanging from the mouth of a cougar. I call them the cougar bait four.
So these are the younger crowd, even though the Waterloo park kids are now middle agers. |
Our weather, unbearably hot the last few days, today is in cool off and national weather service claims we will experience a category 3 atmostpheric river event starting tomorrow or Saturday. However, local forecasters are having none of that, although they, out of courtesy I suppose, let us know its been forecast by the big chiefs now of weather. We the peons shall just wait and see, as always.
Well, I look outside, and we had rain this morning. Wasn't supposed to rain til tomorrow. I'm out of blackberries, ate all the ones I picked around the lake. I need to get back up there, get some more. They must be so fat and ready by now. Fat, dripping blackberries---they haunt my dreams. Tis that season.
I enjoyed meeting the younger cat crowd. How many cats do you have these days?
ReplyDeleteHow many cats do I have? I have an army of cats and they're almost ready.....(couldn't resist that)
DeleteBeautiful photos of these lively cats 🐈 I love ❤️ cats.
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Thanks!
DeleteIs that a tongue blep I see on Tickle?
ReplyDeleteSticking out her tongue at me, yup.
DeleteI'd trust your local weather forecasters. They know how national trends will impact your area best. But, we'll see. I'm glad all of your cats aren't elderly. You seem to talk about the olds more, especially as they slow down.
ReplyDeleteWeather reports are click bait now, used to get us worked up and watch their channel. The younger crowd are quite wild and rarely come inside. They like the cat yard, runs and garage cat room. So I don't see them much. The olds are inside and yes I talk about them because I know most are in the process of failing now and I"ll miss them.
DeleteI didn't realise you had so many younger cats. A category 3 atmospheric river event sounds alarming, even though I have no idea what it is.
ReplyDeleteThe younger ones are a wild bunch and always out in the yard. Rarely see them. Generally its only the old man and old lady cats who finally decide the cushy house life is easier on their thin skin failing joints, etc. No idea what a cat 3 atmostpheric river is. I'm hearing maybe half inch of rain, which doesn't sound very exciting or eventful.
DeleteNice to see. Cats are endlessly entertaining.
ReplyDeleteFreshly picked blackberries sounds wonderful. Very cute photos of all the kitties!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet kitty images. :D I hope you get lots of more berries. Stay safe, my dear.
