Albert, Cookie, and Tiggy (almost)

I ALMOST managed to get a shot with my 3 kitties in the same frame. Couldn’t get Tiggy to cooperate. He came over by the kittens and me for about 3 seconds. I just couldn’t get the camera turned on fast enough. He is showing signs of getting used to the kittens. One of these days he WILL make friends with them.

What the ….?

I swear I saw a blue blur streaking across the lawn. I decided to investigate under the pine tree where it disappeared. As I approached I heard tiny voices shouting something about Gargle-something-or-other. When I got there, all I saw were these mushrooms.

Growing up

I swear Cookie gets a little bigger every day! She is growing so well! When my friend brought her to me last week, she told me Cookie was a girl. I thought she was a girl too. But the during the past couple of days she has grown enough to demonstrate that he is, in fact, a boy kitten. And he has figured out how to escape the kennel. He was loose when I got to the barn this morning. I’m pretty sure he was actually sleeping on one of the sheep. The sheep heard me coming down the path and were getting to their feet when I got to the door. What I saw when I first looked in was several sheep just standing up and Cookie rolling a somersault on the floor at their feet. She must have been laying on one of them and fallen off when they stood up. So Cookie did not go in the kennel tonight. He has graduated to a big boy bed!

Napping spot

I couldn’t find Albert this morning. I called and called, looked in all his regular spots. I finally spotted him, sound asleep in Ruby’s favorite nesting spot. It’s just a rusty old dishpan lined with hay, set up on a high shelf. I had to make a nest up there after finding a hoard of eggs on top of the wall. Ruby has been laying in that old dishpan since I set it up for her. I wonder what she will do if she finds Albert there when she’s ready to lay her egg tomorrow…
