We built a really nice catio in the Mojave with a cat screen and a cat door, so we could close it off from insects or close it completely when it snowed or when we had a sandstorm coming through. They'd spend almost all the time out there sometimes, even all night. View attachment 338802View attachment 338805

Absolutely love that! Especially the outdoor cat furniture! Did you make them? You're kitties love so happy <3

I wish I could give Demi & Maggie an enclosed deck like that! Are the walls screens or windows?

My positive is that I made friends with my neighbors' dog! Not the Pomeranian, this is a different neighbor to the right. They have a huge black dog that has been terrifying me on my walks since September. I usually turn around before I get to their house because he barks his head off at me. Well yesterday I don't know what came over me. I decided to talk sweetly to him and tell him what a good boy he is. He froze and looked shocked. Then he laid down and wagged his tail! Now I can take my walk down that entire road.

The walls are screens. The door into the house and the door leading outside are both glass through.

You made more puppy friends? How special! Sounds like he was scared before, but now sees how nice and non-threatening you are. Is doggy kept in a fence or just outside?

The "cat cactus" was made by my ex. Thanks for compliment! The tall beige one is plastic and I'm pretty sure he got that at Petco. It's here now, in the master bedroom. It has these removable beds in three parts of the structure, too. I'm not a huge fan of plastic, but it is a really nice piece of cat furniture. I've never seen any like it, either.

Cats were so cute today!!! I kept sneaking up to the closed deck door to snap pictures.

First, Isabelle allowed Persia to lay on the couch with her. She often allows Katrina, but it has been more rare with Persia lately.

Then Katrina came to join the fun by sleeping on the cushions above. Persia looks super relaxed, as does Isabelle.

Isabelle shifts, exposing her belly, looking super cute. I wanna touch that furry stomach!!!

Persia shifts.... her usual antics of trying to get as close to Isabelle as she will let her... She shifts a little at a time. If Isabelle allows it, she will shift closer until they are touching....

Katrina decides it is cuddle time with her sister! She climbs down and cuddles with Persia, leaning against the pillow.

AND..... Persia shifts again! Contact has been made and her butt is leaning snuggly against Isabelle's back legs and butt... Is Isabelle okay with this? Is she tolerating it...?

Isabelle shifts and LAYS HER LEG ON PERSIA!!! How cute!!!! Isabelle willingly touches Persia and leaves her foot here.

And later, Isabelle moves to the other couch, and I have room to lay on the large couch with the kittens. It was such a beautiful mild day today.

Pretty day yesterday, read outside off and on, snuggled with Small Cal till she became frightened of
all the lawn mowers, I was resting and could here her darling sounds underneath the bed. When I got
up to go back on deck, I saw one of her sweet back legs sticking out from underneath bed, soooo adorable.
Another nice day scheduled for today some clouds and that's ok.

neely I think Carleton should come for a weekend to play with Small Cal but I doubt
she would let him go home. He's a handsome baby boy.

We are having a nice break from the heat this week. I plan to catch up on weeding my gardens.

Yeah, lawnmowers and blowers and weed-whackers are scary. Loud. I know humans who really, really don't like those sounds.
Those little catfeet!!!

Today is Tango's "estimated" fourth birthday!

Oh, I'm sure she'd enjoy a cat toy for dogs as well!

Her real-life presents are cat treats (that she should be able to eat without an allergic reaction - fingers crossed) and a new Da Bird refill.

Maybe the earth has slightly rotated off its axis or the COVID virus is causing madness at the executive level, but something out of ordinary is going on. I opened my Xfinity cable bill this afternoon and this year Xfinity has made changes to their pricing that LOWERED my monthly bill by $2.

 

[tarasgirl06]

susanm9006 Clearly, what you've written is happening.
Moz Well, I almost decided on a Cat Toy For Wombats, but I thought it might be a little large for Tango. *I do love those wombats, though.* Sounds like he's going to be a very happy guy with his presies!

It was a glorious day for me. I met an old college friend for iced coffee at a quaint coffee shop that is very eclectic. The owner collects antiques and artwork that is tastefully placed throughout the shop. Unfortunately restaurants are not open here yet due to Covid but you can eat outside, weather permitting. They have a small menu but everything is homemade and freshly prepared. Outdoor seating is limited so we got there bright and early at 9:00 a.m.

That just sounds wonderful!
