I can't imagine using a phone to post. I can't even deal with laptop keyboard!



Oh, that would be great !!! 🎄 :gift:



I took computer courses years ago, but even then we just touched on binary code. So I know what it is, but that's about all. We did learn, BASIC and COBOL.

Can you translate this:
01110111 01100101 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100011 01100001 01110100 01110011



I'm glad you shared your memories of Sarah with us. :hearthrob:



That BJ !!! Anyone reading now, who wasn't here when you were trying to trap him, would never believe he was once a feral. Love ya BJ. :redheartpump:
01110111 01100101 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100011 01100001 01110100 01110011
He did, he did! :hellocomputer:🦊

rubysmama rubysmama Give Ruby scratches from us. A lump under the blanket! :lol: The binary game was fun. I wonder how many will get it?

tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 I google constantly. It’s a great resource and I am always suggesting it to others. Sometimes they use it and sometimes they don’t. :dunno:

I spent the day doing chores. Catch up from yesterday. The kitty boots have become a great toy for Wanda Heart and the girls though! Lol Wanda Heart likes baby shoes! Not something I would normally get for them as a toy but at least they won’t go to waste. BJ won’t really miss them. I tried to get some of the others interested in trying them but they function best as a toy so that works for me. Huh! Another dollar tree success!

Wanda Heart was very interested in playing with the phone tonight.

28F4F5E4-C311-431B-9799-48A2CBF9E7B4.jpeg

Then I noticed her gaze shifted.
1071B72E-DF5D-4E40-B979-6755A87DB2ED.jpeg

Something more fun?
CA663372-C6CB-44AD-A6A8-76AB58656B4A.jpeg

Oh! Going fishing in the kitty pool for cat fish! :lol:
D8AAC4FE-D0DE-4EE4-AFAC-4575480FC52E.jpeg

It looks like Wanda Heart is going diving for cat fish.
E85C98BE-BF76-4EC2-93A2-412964CB5F55.jpeg

She’s getting up to reel in her catch.
60395568-DDB2-43DD-80E6-D9877ADA1755.jpeg

She caught a Tortuga!
67A5F283-AB7D-4125-A8AA-C832DC2530A9.jpeg

Now the Tortuga is diving down but Wanda Heart is right there with her!
678D2519-FDCE-4E25-84D1-F2A6A65F560A.jpeg

Ha! Tricked! The Tortuga surfaced but left Wanda Heart below.
A351862A-24A8-4A35-A9C7-077DCAE3F2BC.jpeg

Hmmmm. Not taking the bait.
D4E15E32-6279-4BD2-A453-BF18B66F3EE8.jpeg

Cats are playing tricks!
577CC70A-4426-4785-9B21-962A0B3380A5.jpeg

Uh oh! All Wanda Heart caught was an old boot!:flail:
8BAB8CAB-3359-42F7-9B91-7BA0F29EAF44.jpeg

We enjoyed the fishing trip. Yes! Cats can catch fish. 🐟 There was a little Halloween trick here too. A little cat magic going on. Did you catch anything?🎣:lovecat4: How observant are you when it comes to a clowder of kitties?:wavey:

Have a great night everyone! Sending purrs! :heartshape:

Clue.....😀🙂😄☺😊😀😍🐈🐈🐈🐈
That's purr-fect. :catman:

*I often wonder why people don't use google (or bing) more often...* ;) 🦊:hellocomputer:
I Google all the time!

Ruby sends scratches back to your clowder, as well as all the other cats out in cyberspace. :catrub:

I wonder. :dunno: Funny thing is, I think, even now under today's computer stuff, it's ones and zeros that keeps it all going. 🖥

rubysmama rubysmama Right you are and right you will probably always be on IT!
Jcatbird Jcatbird Wanda is turning into quite a beautiful young lady right before our eyes, isn't she? She reminds me of our beloved Rojita angel who found us at about that stage of life.
Cats are pro anglers, aren't they? Around here, quite a few trout, tuna, salmon and tilapia are enjoyed ;) :cutecat::kneading::cutecat:but there are occasions when tails are turned, as if the offerings are old boots :angrycat: This happens almost exclusively in hot weather. I call it "food striking" and it's probably much more to do with the heat than with the quality of the offerings.

Yes, there are so many times when I want to yell, "USE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE!!!" but I'm one of those nerdy types who likes to learn at least one new thing every day. "Educational" (public) TV is still my favorite.

rubysmama rubysmama Yep. Binary is still there but at least we don’t have to program in every little thing before we can use the computer. That was both time consuming and terrible if you hit one wrong number. Error! Bugs everywhere! Lol

tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 I like to keep learning too. It’s a bit of a challenge I like to keep going with myself. When I had a large family, I learned
a new craft every year before the holidays. One year I made over a thousand fancy chocolates for everyone! :rolleyes: It was a very long time before I wanted to see another chocolate!:lol:

Did anyone catch the “bait and switch” in the photos from last night with Wanda Heart and Tortuga? Lol

Cats, fish, small rodents and sometimes birds -- the age-old games are always being played among them! ;) :whiskers:Since the dawn of time.

My mom loved candy. One time she bought a whole pound of See's Candy in a type she loved. She ate them all. And then she never would eat another one of that kind. 🤢 *I gladly ate her share*😋

I'm a bit of an information junkie, as I love learning new things too.

No. Just went back and looked, and see the the paws changed. :catman:

I'm a bit of an information junkie, as I love learning new things too. For instance, I just deleted a spam message that mentioned, "telex". My first reaction was to LOL. I used telex a long, long time ago. But then, curiosity got the better of me and I googled "telex".

Yeah. Life can sometimes be pretty "not good" if you don't add something good to it every day.
I just went back and looked, too! SNEAKY! ;) :winkcat:

rubysmama rubysmama and tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 Those kitties are playing tricks! :lolup: Tortuga switched places with Alley. Fast ferals! I kind of thought that would get past most people since they look so much alike. I had nothing to do with it. It was all the kitties. It made me laugh. One minute I was looking at Tortuga, the next I was doing a double take! I guess we better expect some tricks being played over the rest of the month. I know the cats have been whispering about getting treats or playing a trick on me. Uh oh! Hairball in the shoe maybe? Lol The trick they played on me today was letting a frog in the cat room. How? Dunno. Maybe they pushed the window screen out just far enough! Lol I counted Eight cats looking in one direction.Thank you for letting me know BJ!

Keeping life interesting does keep us going. I know exactly what you mean. If you reallllly want excitement, come visit! You’ll be very entertained. Maybe a little too much but it will make you say,” There’s no place like home.” ;) It would definitely be a distraction but I’m not sure what you would learn.:flail:

This is what happened and what I think the cats were trying to say.


Mom! I’m staring out there for a reason.
5060DF7E-47D1-499E-A126-A56834EDB4FE.jpeg

Are you paying attention?
F16C2644-35F3-432C-914F-56A216A129DE.jpeg

Look where I look!
83F8D9CA-C7E1-4842-89C0-F20761747067.jpeg

My ears are perking! Neck slightly arched!
A100FF83-ACE8-485F-B6D6-1F8237EB4907.jpeg

What do I have to do to get you to understand? Something is up!
AAB924B0-FBBC-4C88-B0F2-7274BCDBB978.jpeg

Are you coming?
4B69A2FE-D055-43A0-BD31-FB705126E141.jpeg

Thank goodness I did. The frog was willing to leave so it jumped in my hand for a ride out. Kodiak is still looking behind everything in the cat room trying to find where the frog is hiding. She was nose to nose with it when I went out there but she didn’t hurt it. Obviously it’s related to Froggie! Lol

Banjo was napping but....
ABA28529-8189-4A47-A2AD-9248C49C4D96.jpeg

She caught on to the excitement.
F3A9CB2D-FEED-4684-B4A5-5A7A0E3322E2.jpeg

She saw the other cats gathering.
8F781028-6606-4064-985F-87C0609D0886.jpeg

Time to go!
A8351C93-22E6-49D3-BD21-3D5B6BE27EE2.jpeg

Come on Mom!
66CAA762-073E-4133-93E8-468EF5E84ECF.jpeg

Get up quick!
7485106D-D5F3-4A10-89F9-9E799D906E7A.jpeg

We gotta check on Froggie!
0BB38B59-0AA0-42F2-9157-141BB5E36432.jpeg

I’m going!
0F091358-8AE9-4A08-A5D5-0DEA24624C97.jpeg

Froggie?
D2E3FFB1-BE8A-4488-AA13-05853A60965C.jpeg

Are you home?
AB3A27EC-EA83-44F3-B921-058BCD0DFDF5.jpeg

I don’t see anybody in the frog house.
410B941F-FA6D-40EE-9BF2-AEF064449BEF.jpeg

Maybe he’s down lower?
A7F7D461-3617-4946-AE45-AE731DC4498C.jpeg

Up higher?
4648339B-B8EA-4727-91EE-F21EF6EAEF12.jpeg

Not on the right side.
A50549E7-6588-4FFB-B9D3-C12DC4FB7A67.jpeg

Not on the left!
E7E20917-80F8-4183-8317-C355FEE61C28.jpeg

Where is he Mom?
222C7D9A-7A3C-43A1-935B-C9DEDD491AEB.jpeg

I think we need to look for him.
46B2F2B4-32CA-4E1A-8528-976480B7ECDA.jpeg

I’ll sit here all night if you don’t help!
79FCBA88-CE0A-4CD4-BBE3-A96DA857492C.jpeg

Gonna help me Mom?
1C5B8D4C-A6A4-4DBE-9547-4ABE36C5AF85.jpeg

Come on Banjo. I think Froggie moved when I took the other frog out.
1CFBFF17-A762-453B-9F4D-8B500C727B7E.jpeg

Froggie?
49EF7B8A-9C58-47E0-809C-D154F75791D5.jpeg

It is you! Hey Froggie!
D9B856C6-03F3-415A-A0EE-21198FAC0740.jpeg

Hold my paw Froggie! I’m glad you moved to the window. Don’t let the other cats trick you!
A70282E4-8079-48C9-B267-A2DC827A6B12.jpeg


Love you Froggie! I’ll met you at your house tomorrow!

:redheartpump:🐸:bicolorcat: Another night spent with happy kitties and Froggie love. Lol
Have a great night everyone!

She caught a Tortuga!
It's nice seeing Tortuga again. 😍

My oldest brother does this. Every time I ask him a question, he says "Google it!" It's impossible to start a conversation with him, because it goes nowhere. Obviously I could have just Googled it, but I'm trying to find something to talk to him about. Sheesh. :lol:

@maggidemi The kitties are very happy to see you too. In fact Lady and Muffin have a trick just for you. It’s with our smiles for tonight.

tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 Two are double the love. That made me think of an old commercial. “Double the pleasure, double the fun!” It was for Doublemint gum and always featured twins. Lol My little green Doublemint twins! :lol:🐸🐸

Mamanyt1953 Mamanyt1953 I second that! I don’t know how old Froggie is now but I’ll be making life as easy as possible and providing a safe house so maybe lifespan will be extended.
After all, Froggie is not a feral any more. I expect that an enchanted Prince would live a very, very long time. Since I put up the frog house, I haven’t seen any of the frogs near the ground. That puts them out of reach to the usual predators.
It was a quiet day with the kitties. It rained today and that usually makes the kitties sleepy. I guess it brings out the feral instinct to hunker down and stay dry.


Banjo and Whistle snuggled down.
3F0887BA-4A3C-440F-9EFB-E9E5AA0A2BE1.jpeg

Bath time during a rainy day.
CCA4E40E-13EE-4AD3-88E5-DC9DA805553A.jpeg

They are totally relaxed in my lap. Lol
727E7238-C321-492E-ABFD-24D6E2A79A2C.jpeg

Do they even realize I am their mattress?
254CC034-517C-4BAA-BE1F-663C549B81AF.jpeg

:lol: Judging by that look, I guess they do!
51333BCB-7A4E-4B76-B620-FBC0F393EABD.jpeg

I think Flowers chose the appropriate place for her bed. A bed of Flowers for Flowers!!
5C3661E3-924C-4203-9000-2445C291B187.jpeg

I caught Muffin in a good stretch!
E90A9855-D477-40F2-8C02-664248CCFF8E.jpeg

Muffin took a little stroll while, in the background, Banjo and Purry were deep in conversation about something. Lol I wonder what they were saying to each other?!?!?!
25BE28FD-E628-4AD6-A783-EB642989DFCA.jpeg

Kodiak was asleep in one of the cages.
Do not disturb Mom! I was dreaming about my Prince!
F04604C6-A06A-42DE-8CEB-1A9AD92BA70C.jpeg

Then I caught this. Lady and Muffin laying with a bit of distance between them. Lady would prefer it if Muffin would just disappear!
ABE99DD1-0AA4-467B-8042-DFE10B521DD2.jpeg

Another look that says it all! Vanish Muffin!
69485536-9A92-40C3-86D1-8DB19C51974F.jpeg

Whoa! Lady! How’d you do that? ( Lady looks very pleased with herself. I really did not see Muffin go! Actually, where is Muffin?)
A0014FF7-7405-44AC-876B-EB3DAA81A2C1.jpeg

Hey Bonjure!
3FD25D2C-5BA9-44E5-BD8E-A5F188AF5966.jpeg

Bonjure?
122B0177-1592-4DBE-A188-B23EF443DE53.jpeg

I saw that! Where did you put those cats?
40645712-D5EB-42A3-8648-9961C6D13759.jpeg

It wasn’t me! That was scary.
425C822B-02D0-4986-A7AD-A6947A561723.jpeg

Don’t look at me! I was just getting ready to go meet Froggie!
3A992721-860A-4FED-B356-23CE6AA50641.jpeg

I guess Froggie don’t sleep in the rain. Froggie, have you seen the other kitties?
43B9BC31-88AC-4437-A287-81D2C7F4EBE7.jpeg

It must be cat tricks again. Bonjure just curled up into a black fur ball but where is Muffin?
Muffin!!!!!!!! 🤦‍♀️ I guess I am going Muffin hunting. Hmmmmmm. Where would Lady hide a Muffin?

😸

Have a great night everyone! :heartshape:

Rain? Lucky you!!! Next month starts what passes for our rainy season and it's predicted that we will have a low rain winter. So if there's any rain you don't want, you could send it out to la-la land, where we'd be grateful to get it! :yess:
Cats are the masters of disguise and disappearing, aren't they? We've had suspenseful times here where a cat has gone MIA. I've looked EVERYWHERE. No cat! Then, I will look in places cats couldn't possibly fit into and voila! This hasn't happened in some time, but Elvis DID emerge from somewhere unknown a couple of weeks ago. He's a sizable cat, so...:chessirecat::dunno:
