Lord Dudley Mountcatten has developed a disturbing fondness for Al Roker…
.
.
Should I be worried?
.
.
Has the revolution begun? And why did no one tell me…
.
.
I love Cards Against Humanity and Beth Dutton.
I may have to own this.
.
.
Not my photograph, but it was posted by someone in Maine.
If that squirrel isn’t silently saying ‘hold my beer’ ? I’ll eat my hat.
.
.
Bacon is life.
.
.
I don’t know if this first one is true, but I really hope so. The cuteness factor is off the charts.
.
.
And because I’m nerdy enough to get a giant kick out of this –
.
.
Murphy’s cat? Uncannily accurate.
As my loyal readers know, adjusting to retirement has not been easy for my husband. Feeling useless and unproductive with endless hours to fill has been driving him a bit batty. I’ve given him numerous suggestions, none of which have been to his liking.
And then I saw this…
.
.
Now that’s a retirement career he’s well suited for!
Without starting a political argument, I’m just going to drop the following photo here. Taken at the FBI, it shows a worker following orders to paint.
.
.
The fact that he’s been ordered to paint over awful words like fairness, respect and integrity speaks volumes.
😥
.
.
Reading this article makes me realize that American shellfish are complete slackers. Let’s put those suckers to work!
.
.
I’m ending this post with Lord Dudley Mountcatten, staring me down for no good reason. Just because he can.
.
.
Apologies to those too young to understand the title reference.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves looking out the window and keeps a close eye on birds and visiting critters. But when an enemy dares step foot in his backyard?
.
.
He lets the whole house know about it with snarls, growls and hisses.
.
.
Said enemy is Silas, the neighbor kitty who likes to stalk mice in our field and occasionally takes a stroll under the bird feeders.
.
.
His Lordship is not amused.
😉
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten does not exert himself unnecessarily.
.
.
Or at all, honestly.
.
.
Cat life is good.
.
.
The moon has been amazing lately, but I never manage to take decent photographs of it.
.
.
Doesn’t stop me from trying though.
.
.
Shout out to Grace at Just Tawkin’ for recommending this beautifully written, heartwarming, and simply wonderful book.
You’ll never think of an octopus the same way.
❤️
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves his blanket during the winter months.
.
.
And woe to the human who thinks about removing it from the couch.
.
.
His Lordship has my husband well trained.
.
.
He knocks his favorite mouse off the ottoman…
.
.
And my husband catches it.
.
.
Again.
And again.
And again….
.
.
His Lordship is an odd fellow and has been known to sit and stare at nothing at all.
.
.
Yesterday morning it was the sun.
.
.
Lord Dudley loves his mouse.
.
.
And often goes full on penguin, tucking it under his belly.
Is he trying to hatch it?
Time will tell.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten stretched out beside me yesterday while I was reading ….
.
.
And his head made a perfect resting spot for my bookmark.
.
.
His Lordship was not amused.
.
.
And oh yeah, I’m going to pay for this.
If not now…
Then soon.
Feline revenge is a dish best served cold.
🤣
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is enjoying our new coffee tables.
.
.
More specifically, he’s enjoying the shelf on the bottom of the tables.
.
.
He sleeps there and often brings a toy along.
.
.
But as cute as we think he is, I admit he does have a bit of an overbite problem.
.
.
Dracula kitty.
.
.
🤣
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten caught a mouse yesterday.
.
.
Pulled it out from under the day lily undergrowth just as proud as could be.
.
.
Not that he knew what to do with it.
We have a lot of mice here in the country, and yes… they’re sweet, but they also try to find a way in our nice warm house in the winter and that I can do without.
His Lordship’s mother would prefer he catch and quickly dispatch the rodents to Mickey Mouse heaven but Lord Dudley is a pacifist and prefers to make friends instead.
.
.
He and his new buddy hung out like this for a while … and then went their separate ways.
Sigh.
.
.
I saw something online the other day and need to ask my Arizona readers if it exists…
.
.
What say you southwestern friends….
Is the #1 place for #2 for real?
.
.
This begs the question .. why?
.
.
His Lordship.
I’d like to say he’s leaf peeping but he was actually bird stalking.
.
.
Remember the old Hugh Grant movie Four Weddings and a Funeral? These words were spoken in the eulogy and always choke me up.
❤️
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten was cackling loudly the other day and stalking something through the living room window.
.
.
Closer inspection revealed a line of sparrows…
.
.
Who were no doubt teasing him on purpose.
.
.
I’m going out on a limb here, but this abomination is almost as awful as Spam.
.
.
I tried very hard to talk my husband into throwing this into the truck on a recent trip to Tractor Supply, but at $230 he squawked.
Which is something this chicken clearly isn’t doing anymore.
.
.
His Lordship, surveying his domain.

River's world.....
