Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a delicate flower. He doesn’t do rain, snow. loud noises, dogs or strange people entering his house. He’s scared of the UPS driver, the vacuum and the ironing board. Drop a book on the floor and you won’t see him for hours.
Wind? Yeah, he doesn’t like that either.
Which is why I had to share this clip of him exiting the house for his walk in 40 mph gusts.
.
.
Where did he run?
Up on the deck where he cried to be let in the back door.
A very delicate flower indeed.
🌸
.
.
Just a few photos of His Lordship doing what His Lordship does best.
.
.
In other words, nothing.
.
.
He excels at this task. And as we all know, practice makes perfect.
.
.
Though he has been known to hide from the paparazzi .
.
.
Cat life.
It’s rough.
.
.
Temperatures are rising, the snow has melted and we’re seeing a bit of green grass.
But the surest sign of spring at Casa River is this:
.
.
Our first woodchuck sighting!
.
.
We’ve had a momma raise her young under our barn for the past 6 years or so and always wonder if they’ll be back.
.
.
Of course laying out some carrot slices helps.
.
.
Welcome back spring!
😌
.
.
Because all I can manage today is a few photos of Lord Dudley Mountcatten.
.
.
Who doesn’t understand why his humans are so sad.
.
.
Not that it disturbs his naps.
.
.
Oh, to be a cat and sleep 18 hours a day.
.
.
❤️
.
.
.
The only state that beats us is Alaska, but since I’m still experiencing the hot flashes from Hell? That’s fine by me.
.
.
The photo in which Lord Dudley Mountcatten discovers the old woodchuck burrow.
.
.
And naturally does a deep dive investigation.
.
.
Me.
Because I realized I haven’t posted a selfie in a while and I have nothing better to share today.
.
.
Our snow is gone and we’re beginning to see some green grass.
We’re also seeing a nightly herd of 10 who never get together for a group portrait.
.
.
Young, old and the same harem master buck.
.
.
They’re all kicking up their heels because spring is out there… somewhere.
.
.
❤️
.

One minute you’re happily sitting in the living room reading a book.
The next?
.
.
Your cat jumps up on the footstool and decides to put on a show. When you ask him if that’s really necessary?
.
.
He says yes.
.
.
But thankfully moves from his privates to his feet.
.
.
Cats.
There’s never a dull moment.
.
.
Long time readers will know I have a fondness for wombats.
,
.
They’re cute…
.
.
Cuddly…
And they poop squares cubes.
.
.
What’s not to love?
But today I read an article that makes me view them in a whole new light.
.
.
Ancient giant wombats?
.
.
I’m in!
.
.
For your viewing pleasure…
.
VIDEO
.
.
I saw this on a passing vehicle the other day and I have to admit on first glance my mind went to a bad place…
.
.
And while I’ve never even considered moving to New Mexico?
.
.
A want ad like that could change my mind.
.
.
For all the clueless seafood consumers out there. Always
.
.
And finally… is it me? Or is this hat mannequin I saw at a vintage clothing shop a little too happy?
.
.
Cats. They’re marvelous creatures who definitely know how to relax.
.
.
And Lord Dudley Mountcatten takes full advantage of his spoiled and pampered life of leisure.
.
.
He’s also the reason all the legs of our coffee table end in scratch marks …
.
.
His fascination with wrapping himself around them is strange.
.
.
But also too damned cute to stop.
