News from Meow Manor

[Queen Bonnie]

 I worry TOO MUCH about my feline babies. They are my furr-mily! LOL. Batman Returned. I guess he was tired from his overnight adventures- but seems OK. I feel much better now too. Whew!
I once had 4 outdoor cats disappear about 4 years ago. There was a Coyote seen in this residential neighborhood preying on small animals. That is when all my cats came IN at night. Now only Batman is indoor/ outdoor.

Oooooh... you could turn her ship PINK!!!  Can you imagine, a pink Pirate ship?!?  With purple glittery trim everywhere.  Oh!!! And maybe some lovely feathery edging around the sails...

Yes, I can see where she might want to avoid something like that...    LOLOLOL

So glad Batman decided to follow the script!

Had a stray boy cat show up on our doorstep last night. He's a little skinny, although not as skinny or small as he looks in the picture. I'd describe him as a lanky teenager. We think he's not quite fully grown and hasn't "filled out" yet, purrs like semi, and he needs to be broken. Currently in quarantine in the front porch from our others. I posted some fliers around the 'hood and posted him "found" on the local Humane Society website. Dropped in at the local vet to have him scanned for a microchip, but no luck.

 Blue would annoy my evil twin more than pink. She HATES blue- except for turquoise! Glitter annoys her. I can think of more things to do- if she annoys me too much. Don't mess with wizards!  Wizard vs pirate is no contest- but don't tell her that! She thinks she is so tough!

Batman is happily resting! Me too!

Beautiful kitty Groomporter! I bet you have been adopted!  He looks skinny but happy! If only they could tell us of their adventures!

I admit I've been tempted to put one of these petcams on our indoor/outdoor cat to see where he goes. It says you can set it to take pictures every 1, 5, or 15 minutes

 What will they think of next? A Petcam! LOL. Let me know how it goes!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Still working on wizard staffs and pirate earrings.
Yesterday my neighbor came over and we got lots more done on the cat tree. It is about 6'tall with carpeted ramps for scratching and platforms to sit on and sisal rope to scratch. Fun project. The cats like it already and it is not quite done yet- but usable.
Cleaning up today after the construction efforts yesterday. Where is this month going?

[Queen Bonnie]

 I finished my projects. Made a few sculptures too, and a Bastet necklace- that looks old. fun.
Looking forward to the Sherwood gathering this Sat. Yes-it is hot but I am going in garb lite.
My Batman brought me a big lizard- right in the kitchen- where he let it go. What a sweet kitty.LOL.
He went back out to terrorize more wildlife and eventually I caught the lizard and put it back out. It was Ok- but I did not know lizards could bite! Did not hurt- just surprised me. The poor thing did not know I was giving him back his freedom!I am fond of lizards- outside!

[C Dragonworks]

I am betting your lizard was a green anoli....and they can bite hard when they want..but they do crack me up trying to be bad!
Batman needs to bring you dead leaves and things..... bad kitty catching live critters!

[Rani Zemirah]

Still, much better than bringing "previously live" critters, me thinks!   

[Queen Bonnie]

 Probably an anoli! It was green and bigish- for a lizard.It was trying to be BAd with the bite.It did not try to sell me insurance- so not a gekko! Good Batman did not damage it! Guess he thought I wanted to play with it.He was very pleased with himself. I am lucky he rarely brings me stuff and always alive- never dead. What a pal!
This afternoon Yoshi and I played catch/ retrieve. He brings me his ball, I toss it- he bats it back or runs after it and brings it back. No boredom around here with kitties! Tachi keeps me jumping to let him out on the porch and feed him and give him his meds. Neri helps with projects. I usually wind up shutting her away in the rest of the house when I am working.
I think my ice maker has nargles and finally died. I will call the local handiman Monday. Drat. The nargles are playing with me. I LOVE ice and it hurts to deal with cube trays as the cold hurts my hands- Reynauds syndrome.

[Rani Zemirah]

Until you get that repaired you might keep a pair of gloves in the drawer next to the fridge so you can keep your fingers toasty while still cooling your drink.  Reynauds can be so difficult at times! 

[C Dragonworks]

OHHH Nargles again...we had them mess with the tractor and had to buy a coil for it... and belts for the little mower.... UGGH! Got the tractor back working...got the backyard mowed!  My brother brought me a small pumpkin he grew...this year we seemed to be good at growing squash.... my broomcorn is HUGE and still growing....  Still working on pastures... and dreaming of TRF and all the fun we will have!!!!!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Well- I fooled with the dratted ice maker and got it working again. Magick helps! LOL.
Good idea about the gloves RaniZ!
Glad you got mowed Cat!
Had a fun day yesterday.
Friends came over for a swim and then we went to the Sherwood gathering!I brought my magical dark chocolate brownies! Magical- because the disappear so fast! Hot but such fun to see so many friends and the new structures! Mud show stage , gaol, and new archery range! Wow! Much fun was had! Mead was consumed. I got home to meow Manor at 10PM and got meowed at for staying out too late! I could almost see Tachi tapping his little foot! He wanted to go to bed!
Off to water my plants. We need a spot of rain here!

[Queen Bonnie]

 All is quiet here! That is a good thing! I think the nargles are on vacation! That is good too. Who needs THEM!!!
I am keeping busy with projects and keeping all here spick and span.
Tachi is slowly getting stronger.
I had friends over and they cooked Steak on Saturday! What a treat!
Tachi enjoyed the leftovers. No spoiled cats here! LOL.
