Checkin’ It Out

I (finally) assembled the kitties new scratching post, with a little help from a friend. Walter and Mimi weren’t clear on what it is right away. The circled it, sniffed it, and walked away. Fortunately, by the next day they were both scratching on it. Alas, a little late to save my wicker chairs. You might notice the top of the post–the picture in the instructions showed a wider berth, wide enough for a cat to sit on. Clearly what we have is too small for that. But overall we’re happy!

Perfect, Mama!

The Wisdom of Walter

It’s been a tough week for several of my friends, and it’s hard to say how things are going to fall out for some of them. It’s a scary world when the future is uncertain. But Walter says, take it one day at a time. Don’t worry about tomorrow, today has enough troubles of its own. Pray. And when things get really rough, give your kitty a hug.

Walter Has Claimed Mom’s Shawl

Walter and ShawlI (finally) finished this shawl for my mom, and Walter won’t let go. As you saw in my previous Caturday post, he likes to find new places to sleep, and it’s often inconvenient for me. Oh well. He’s a sweet kitty and I spoil him. Go ahead and sleep there, Walter. I’ll need the shawl in a month when I visit Mom, but in the meantime, it’s yours.

Walter Has Found a New Bed

I’ve never had to worry about the cats sleeping on my laundry until now, when Walter decided to sleep on the freshly-cleaned bath mat I was getting ready to give to a friend. I wasn’t about to give it to her dirty–but now she’s going to have to accept it with a little cat hair on it. Which she will, gladly, because this mat matches her towels.

Walter Sleeps Well

Walter Has a Favorite TV Show

We all know cats sleep a lot, but now Walter is spending at least part of his waking hours watching TV. And he has good taste! Here he’s caught watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show. But next both of us are getting up and exercising.
