.
Because the critters deserve equal time.
.
.
I don’t know about you, but I could name a few people whose relentless sex drive gets them in trouble as well.
.
.
Proof positive governments will tax anything and everything.
.
.
“Permanent physical fusion”? Imagine if that had happened to you on that blind date back in the ‘90’s?
Oh, the horror.
.
.
A parasite that doesn’t grow a pair of balls until after he’s attached to you?
I think we’ve all dated that guy at one time or another.
.
.
More cute cat photos just because I can.
.
.
As we’ve previously established Lord Dudley Mountcatten has a surplus of toys, most of which he doesn’t play with. But he does have a few favorites he flings around the living room.
.
.
He runs up and down the halls, through the kitchen, around the den, bouncing out of the office and back across the furniture in a burst of frenzied energy…
.
.
Until he runs out of steam.
.
.
I feel you Dudley.
I really do.
.
.
We’ve had a few snow storms this month and the inches seem to be staying put for now.
.
.
Which makes me happy… but Lord Dudley Mountcatten?
.
.
Not so much. After an impressive bout of crying and pawing at the door for walkies, the husband granted his wish.
.
.
Which resulted in a face plant off the bulkhead doors and a mad sprint back inside.
Snow.
It’s not for everyone.
🤣
.
.
My husband loves free.
Whether it’s buy one get one free or finding free on the side of the road… if it’s free, he has a hard time passing up the deal.
Until now when I saw this on our town’s Facebook page.
.
.
A 250 lb boar with the zoomies?
Come on. That’s the free deal of the century.
.
.
.
Since we’ve been having a warm winter and so little snow, Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been enjoying stretching his legs outside. And after a particularly warm spell where I took him for walkies everyday, he’s been antsy for exercise.
Even when it starts to snow.
.
.
Crying and scratching at the door, he talked the husband into harnessing him up and heading out.
.
.
But then? He had second thoughts.
Snow is cold, and more importantly… wet.
.
.
Which is why he hightailed it to the shelter of the woodshed and left the husband out in the storm. Cats are a lot of things, but stupid isn’t one of them.
When the husband had enough and tugged him back out into uncovered territory?
.
.
His Royal Highness beat feet for the back door.
.
.
And assumed the position for a warm rub down and toweling off.
🤣
.
.
I’ve been known to spend a fortune on unappreciated cat toys to amuse our four footed furry family members.
.
.
Some they like, some are banished to the drawer never to be batted again.
And then…
I bought a fish.
.
.
Which Lord Dudley Mountcatten has given his Royal stamp of approval.
.
.
He flings his fish all over the living room and happily chases it down.
.
.
And while he usually rejects toys that move, shake, spin or make any type of noise, he’s made an exception for this motion activated catnip fish that flaps.
.
.
You’ll have to trust me when I say he was going crazy for it, because in true cat fashion he stopped playing as soon as I started filming.
.
.
Buy your cat a fish.
Tell them Lord Dudley sent you…
.
.
Sometimes the perfect wildlife shot presents itself and all you have to do is snap.
.
.
Our backyard deer really like their snow paths.
.
.
Sometimes you order a blueberry vodka lemonade and it’s literally blue.
.
.
Sometimes your husband drags things up from the crap cave cellar, and while they’re technically not crap? You still stub your toe on one of them when you round the corner because you didn’t know they were there and yell at him to move them forthwith.
😠
.
.
Sometimes you want a little heat, but not anal angst level heat.
Ouch!
.
.
A warm day in mid February meant His Royal Highness finally got to go outside again.
.
.
Being a fair weather feline who dislikes getting his feet wet…
.
.
Lord Dudley works hard to avoid the snow.
.
.
Bare earth is something to be savored.
.
.
And rolled in.
.
.
Homage was paid to his favorite rock.
.
.
I swear I don’t know what his obsession is with that stone, but he rubs and rolls all over it every single time.
.
.
I woke up last week and found this on our kitchen porch.
.
.
And when there are red squirrel tracks?
.
.
There’s a red squirrel in the vicinity.
.
.
Sigh.
Here we go again….
😖
.
.
Turn up your volume.
Because this is the blog where I post a riveting video of Lord Dudley Mountcatten snoring.
.
.
What….
You thought I was kidding?
.
River's world.....
