You see this embedded in your couch cushions.
.
.
Butts up!
.
.
I thought the husband did it. The husband thought I did it.
.
.
But it’s pretty obvious who was responsible.
.
You know you live with a cat when….

Cat-astrophic products.
.
I have a cat, therefor I am inundated with stupid cat product advertisements.
This week?
.
.
Cat capped aviators may look stupid, but at least they’re well read.
.
.
I am not yet at the time of life where I need to sit on a donut. And a smiling cat donut? I hope I’m never there…
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no. I can’t think of a more horrifying, undignified, soul sucking experience to force upon your feline than a taco costume.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten agrees…. and will shred any human who comes near him with that abomination.
.
Meanwhile at Casa River…
.
What’s happening here? We finally got some rain and….
.
.
‘Shrooms.
.
.
Giant ass ‘shrooms are happening here…
.
.
Like this one the husband brought in the other day.
.
.
Dead mice are also happening. And while part of me is sad it had to come to this…. the other part remembers having her car towed to the mechanic 3 times in one month because mice were nesting in the engine and chewing their way out. So dead mice? Yay.
.
.
They make me smile.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten? He’d much rather I ditch the poison and let the live ones in the house.
.
Concentration is key.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten takes his bird watching seriously.
.
.
Especially when our fine feathered friends land on the porch railing and taunt his Royal highness.
.
.
He twitches, he cackles, he swishes his tail.
.
.
He patiently observes…
.
.
And hopes that someday one of those pesky birds will come inside and play.
.
Purple haze and cats on ice.
.
While I enjoy a good Hendrix riff as much as the next girl, the purple I’m talking about is of a different variety.
.
.
Irises!
.
.
Japanese Iris to be exact.
.
.
They’re smaller and easier to deal with than their larger cousins.
.
.
But still put on a lovely show.
.
.
These pictures were taken a few weeks ago, before Maine started its horrible drought and heat wave. Things were still green, instead of the crunchy brown they are now. It’s amazing how fast the change can come. Today’s temperature?
.
.
91 and feels like 104…. at 9:00am!! Unheard of in my state. Our two window a/c units are working overtime and barely keeping up. Even His Lordship is feeling it….
.
.
Which is why I put him on an ice pack.
When I tried to remove it?
.
.
I got the look.
😳
.
Random drivel and Dudley.
.
Glazed donut popcorn! A day late and a donut short, that’s me.
.
.
As you know, Lord Dudley Mountcatten likes to look out the laundry room window. And since his Royal personage (catonage?) must be kept comfortable at all times….
.
.
His human slave has attached a soft towel to cushion the Royal butt.
.
.
That looks says he would have preferred velvet.
.
.
No reason for that, it just made me laugh.
.
.
Lost guinea hens are making the local news.
.
.
Polite guinea hens apparently.
.
.
I include this because it is a running bone of contention in Casa River. I never answer the phone if I don’t recognize the number. Ever! The husband on the other hand, can’t stand the thought of missing something important… you know, like car warranty extensions or Rachel from Card Holder Services. I repeatedly tell him the more he answers, the more junk calls we’ll receive but he never believes me. Hence the photo of the number one thing you should do to avoid phone spam.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten has a new octopus toy, which his mother put on his head in a feeble attempt to take his picture with a hat.
.
.
His Lordship was not amused.
.
Chillin’….
.
Do you see him?
.
.
How about now?
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten saw him.
.
.
Though eating him was probably higher on his list than it would be on yours.
.
.
Yes, it was a little chipmunk scampering through the rhododendron in front of my kitchen window.
.
.
The day was hot, the shade the bush provided was cool….
.
.
So the little guy just stretched out… and chilled.
.
Random stuff cluttering up my phone.
.
Am I the only one who does this? You see something and think to yourself… I need to blog that. Then you save it on your camera roll only to have it languish there for weeks because it doesn’t deserve its own post?
.
.
Yeah, like that. Weird, probably worthy of a joke, but not enough to build a blog around.
.
.
And I’m sure that’s perfectly delightful, for everyone but the chicken who’s suffocating in a plastic bubble and probably terrified at the cornucopia of sweaty flesh on display at the shore… but an entire post? No.
.
.
Maine real estate has always been high, but right now it’s absolutely insane. When the average median price for a house is 3/4’s of a million? You know people have lost their minds. And in case you’re wondering, the cheapest price shown is in a town that was nothing but redneck trailers and two bedroom ranches a decade or so ago.
.
.
Yes, I could blog about how no one but the wealthy can afford a home up here anymore… but that’s too depressing.
.
.
So I’ll end with Lord Dudley Mountcatten helping me make the bed.
.
.
Needless to say, the bed did not get made that morning.
.
Don’t touch my weed.
.
I think we’ve established Lord Dudley Mountcatten is fan of the chronic.
.
.
He spends many happy hours face down in his kitty cope sack.
.
.
And I spend many joint creaking hours picking it up off the floor after he flings it with intoxicated feline abandon.
.
.
Stoned? Probably.
.
.
But woe to the person who tries to come between the Lord and his herb.
.
.
His Lordship is not above shredding skin to keep possession.
.
It’s not too late…
.
Today is Father’s Day and it’s time to honor dear old dad. The man who’s always got your back. The grill master. The king of lame jokes. The guy who thinks he rocks that Members Only jacket. And what better way to say you love and appreciate dad than a gift?
Okay, so the father in question doesn’t actually have human children? No problem. I’ve got you covered.
.
.
Coffee mugs from your furry four footed overlord.
.
.
And in case you think we’re too cat-centric here at River’s World…
.
.
There. Proof positive there’s a perfect gift for every dad.
