The cats have a good internal clock. They know when they’re hungry. Our three original strays gathered outside the front door to let us know.
Clockwise from top: Dusty, Chloe, Rusty
Their internal clocks haven’t been adjusted for the end of daylight savings time.
Sylvester likes the cat scratching station/playhouse we got for Zoe. Zoe is too big to fit into the tube. It’s really a little too small for Sly, too, but he likes to relax there for a little while, especially when he’s high.
Sly is high
He just got finished hitting the catnip, so he’s ready for a nap. You can see some of the catnip around the base.
It’s not good, but this is the only picture we have that shows all six cats.
The gang is all here
From the right, Zoe is closest, with Chloe following. She’s hard to see, but she’s walking on the landscape timber about halfway back to the concrete pad. Then Dusty (we think) is crouched, probably eating from a bow. Then to the left is Smokey, then the dark cat is Sylvester. Just to his side is Rusty. We wouldn’t be able to tell anything about the cats if we didn’t already know who they are. I guess we should make a point of trying to get a good shot of all of them together, but it’s going to be really hard.
Zoe and Zeke are not buddies, but they tolerate each other.
It’s easier when they’re asleep
When Zoe is awake, he always seems to be grouchy around the dogs. Or anyone else, for that matter. Zeke is pretty cool about it, through.
On Sunday
We’re a little late on our Friday felines this (last) week. Here’s a new cat. Benny is a Colorado cat, and he’s a little shy. His owners said he lived under their daughter’s bed for a long time after they brought him home. They fed him and left his litter box right there. That was apparently OK with their daughter.
We saw bits and pieces for a while.
Benny, checking it out
Later, when we were eating in the dining room, we saw him sneak into the kitchen to eat his own food there. But we didn’t get a photo.
We ought to be able to post more often in a couple of days.
