After The Nap And The Yawn…

…comes the bath.

Trying Out A New Napping Spot

I recently received a new delivery of Bath and Body Works products.

I can’t decide if the residual odors, or the size, or attractive blue color of the cozy-looking box was responsible for Rusty’s affinity to it.

Maybe all of the above.

Anyway, just as I was going to move away to let him continue his beautiful nap, he yawned.

Enough Is Enough

We all know that cats sunbathe.  They love to feel the warmth surround and hug them.

There comes a time when even a good thing has to come to an end; when “enough is enough.”

Enough sun

I’ve had enough sun.

Beach Time

Rusty and Patches have never been to the beach.  And never will be.

However, I think, if they use their imagination, they could believe they are there.  Anyway, here are their pretend photos of “At the Beach.”

What could be more “beachy” than fish, sun and waves?

Patches even has her pretend pink whale to keep her company while she’s “absorbing” some ‘rays.

Chowing Down

It’s fun to watch the two of them when they are making good use of the food bowls.

I love how they line up in unison, “copy-catting” each other.

Chompin' away.

Chompin’ away.

Nothing interrupts their concentration.

Or, is that always the case?

Patches has to see what I'm doing standing in back of them.  Rusty always concentrates - no matter what is going on around him.  Right now, his world is the bowl, and nothing else matters!!

Chillin’ Out

Cats have different personalities and habits even if they’re of the same breed.

Take a look:

 

I found Patches chillin' out on the patio tile floor.

Rusty was camped out of the tile floor near my kitchen chair.

The Unexpected Value of Blogging

I started this blog in 2011.  Didn’t know a thing about blogging, but for a few posts on another blog which was connected to a small business I had at the time.

My cats were the incentive, and I took photos and posted them.

This blog has become my memories, which I can look in on whenever I feel the need to see how far they’ve come and how far I’ve come along with this chosen avocation.

Now that I don’t have Romeo with me anymore, I can look back on all the happy times and his shenanigans and his interplay with Rusty and Patches, that I so much enjoyed!  Better than framed photos on the wall or on a shelf!!

The Loss of a Friend: Saying Goodbye to Frogger

We, as animal lovers, are joined together in this very special experience.

The Great Divide

At opposite ends.  Romeo and Patches seem to have reached an agreement on the couch.

Totally Self-Assured

This photograph speaks for itself.  Just look at that body language!!
