We just had a deck railing visitor.
.
.
He’s a juvenile hawk who’s realized our bird feeders are prime hunting ground… and doves are quite tasty.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten was less than pleased…
.
.
Well, hello there..

Things you probably don’t need.
.
Heck, you’ll never need these things…. who am I kidding.
.
.
This is such a stupid useless item, the only thing they could think to put on it is plastic Easter eggs.
.
.
Even the cat is unpleased by this idea.
.
.
Huh?
.
.
I’m glad they showed someone demonstrating this ridiculous product. The fact that’s she’s feeding brass geese adds to the authenticity.
.
.
And just in case you need a larger pot, because sometimes size matters…
.
.
😳
.
News you can’t use.
.
News. It’s a subjective term these days, and that’s sad.
.
.
I’m not going to comment on this one, because honestly… I just don’t want to.
.
.
Well, if it can remove car battery corrosion …. stones shouldn’t be a problem.
.
.
And we humans dutifully comply . Ookie Pookie must be kept happy… or there will be consequences.
.
.
Of course she did. She’s 10.
.
.
I don’t know. And I don’t care to find out… but gee, your mother must be so proud.
.
.
This last news alert is from my town. And I don’t know about you, but I prefer it to vaginal squirting contests.
.
Silliness
.
Cats.
.
.
They’re so judgmental.
.
.
I’ve heard of drunks wearing lampshades, but Ibis?
.
.
I do not recommend this. Bears with the munchies can wreak havoc in your yard.
.
.
And you thought the movie was pure nonsense.
.
.
I don’t even want to know what’s going on here. Nope.
And finally, Thanksgiving preparations are underway at Mark’s house….
.
.
When you really, really, really want a truck.
.
I saw this the other day when I was stopped at a traffic light and had to do a double take.
.
.
Want a truck but can’t afford one?
No problem, just cut off the back of your car, add some cardboard and call it good.
🤣
.
Something tells me I’m going to pay for these pictures.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is used to being photographed. But when his human mother had a cute idea the other day…?
.
.
His Lordship was less than pleased.
.
.
I think I’ll be paying for this folly. I don’t know how, and I don’t know when….
.
.
But yes. He’s definitely plotting something.
.
Random photo dump.
.
A cat and his mouse is a beautiful thing.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten hasn’t caught a live one in quite a while but he does enjoy sleeping with his toy version.
.
.
On a recent trip to the orthopedist I began wondering if he has voodoo doctor credentials.
.
.
Crystal bones are made for throwing.
.
.
Note to self…
.
.
Buy bigger bird bath.
.
.
Even he has no explanation for those ugly things…
.
Things I don’t need.
.
My Facebook and Apple News algorithms are always coming up with ridiculous products they think I need to purchase.
I’m passing on all three of these.
.
.
#1…. Swimsuit season is not approaching quickly in Maine, unless you count the Polar Bear plunge in February and I’ve never be crazy enough to do that.
#2…. My derrière is awake as it’s ever going to get. No caffeinated butt cream required. 
.
.
No.
Just… no.
While I spoil Lord Dudley Mountcatten far more than my husband thinks I should, even I have limits.
.
.
Do I want to carry around a 28 ounce gelatinous pouch of my own urine? I most assuredly do not.
Also, I spent my teenage years on an island in Maine where there were no public restrooms. I’m completely familiar with pissing in the woods if necessary.
.
Hope springs eternal.
.
These sparrows have it in for our poor cat and are seriously driving him crazy.
.
.
All of a sudden there are flocks of them gathering on our back deck and Lord Dudley Mountcatten is positively beside himself with angst.
.
.
He cackles, he cries, he paws at the window and howls to go outside.
.
.
And then runs right to the bushes where they hide when I oblige.
.
.
His Lordship is not a graceful feline and more often than not falls flat on his face.
.
.
Unless he’s sticking it in the bush on purpose.
.
.
He’s on a leash, but there’s not much walking going on.
.
.
Those birds should be ashamed of themselves. Before long Dudley will be needing kitty Valium.
.
Follow the birdies.
.
We have a group of sparrows that live to tease Lord Dudley Mountcatten .
.
.
They perch on the deck railing and patio furniture… driving him absolutely insane when he’s on the back of the couch.
.
.
So when we go outside for walkies? His Lordship is primed to hunt.
.
.
Not that he ever comes close mind you. Those birds are too smart and too fast.
.
.
But we chase them from bush to bush around the house and hope springs eternal.
.
.
They know he can’t catch them, and seem to take great pleasure in the game.
.
.
That sparrow is smiling. I know it.
.
.
You can’t really tell from the picture, but trust me.. he was airborne here.
By the time we make a full trip around the house? They’re back on the railing…. and laughing.
.
.
Lord Dudley on the other hand…
.
.
🤣

River's world.....
