Buy your cat a fish.

26 Comments

.

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…

Walkies!

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.

Have you herd…?

18 Comments

.

Our backyard has been pretty busy of late.

.

.

And our resident herd of ten are showing up every night.

.

.

They don’t usually visit when it’s still light enough to grab photos, so this was a treat.

.

.

You can have television. I’ll happily sit and watch these beautiful creatures instead.

.

.

The harem master.

.

.

I’m so glad he made it through hunting season unscathed.

.

.

In case you’re wondering why they’re called White Tailed Deer.

Because sometimes life is simply too much to bear.

We all have those days.

The ones where we want to stay in our pajamas, crawl back into bed and turn off the world.

Apparently Lord Dudley Mountcatten has them as well.

.

.

It’s not as if this feline has a rough life.

.

.

Did the level on his kibble bowl run low?

Were his treats not dispensed at the proper time?

Perhaps his pillow was not properly fluffed.

.

.

Whatever the reason, he’s clearly reached his limit.

Miscellaneous drivel.

Let’s start with the required weekly photo of Lord Dudley Mountcatten.

.

.

Say what you will about cats, the creatures know how to relax.

.

.

This marketing strategy seemed a bit extreme for fresh water from the Alps. Death isn’t normally what I look for when buying natural spring water… but to each their own.

.

.

The husband had been sputtering about a hot air popper for a while now, so I broke down and bought him one. Aside from breaking the top cover on the second go around, it looks like he hasn’t quite mastered the proper kernel to bowl ratio yet either….

.

.

A tent for office naps? I fail to see how this won’t be noticed by management.

.

.

As we began, so shall we end.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten, looking less than pleased with the photographer.

Winter visitors.

Our resident herd is back.

.

.

I hadn’t seen them in a while but they came tromping across the back yard looking for a snack early enough the other evening for me to grab a few pics.

.

.

There were 8 total. Does, youngsters…

.

.

And the harem master… who honestly, is a bit of an ass. No one else is allowed to eat until he’s had his share.

.

.

Except this brave little fellow…

My Planet… part three.

More relatable Mary Roach humor.

While I can’t get on board with the jewelry part, I’ve had more than a few cocker spaniel days.

.

.

Oh, who are we kidding? I’ve had cocker spaniel months.

This next page deals with searching for a new home and open houses.

.

.

I used to love to tour open houses, just because. Not that I ever bought any, it’s just a fun way to spend the day.

.

.

So you know I had to…

Some dogs looked happy.

.

.

Some dogs did not.

.

.

Cats? Apparent they rate toast collars.

.

.

But hands down? The winner goes to three olive martini beagle.

.

.

It will serve his owner right to get poked in the eye with that toothpick.
