I'm So Foolish

Hi cat lovers, it's been some time since I've been here I know. I just haven't had much to talk about since Chatter had disappeared from our home. It is now over five months and foolish as it may be, I still look out on my porch for him in the morning before I get my coffee. I really don't expect to see him their but in my mind I think....wouldn't it be awesome if he was their waiting for me to open the door. Foolish foolish me, it's only a cat I had for only six months in my life.

It's August And It's Hot

Not much to tell you these days. It's hot and humid and my cats just want to drink lots of water and sleep. Chatter has made himself at home with us and that's just the way it is. He is on my porch early every morning chatting away loud and often to let me know he's here and hungry. I still put his food on the porch and after he eats he comes in the house and wonders around a little then goes back out. He lets us pet him and rubs on your hand with his head if you don't pet him. He still goes off into the woods at night but it is getting later and later now when he leaves.

My camera broke so it will be awhile before I have any new pictures of him to post.

Lazy Hazy Summer Days

This is pretty much Chatters chair now.

It's cool at the base of the fountain.

Back on his chair.

If you look closely you can see Chatter is enjoying  the day and porch along with Little Girl and Dixie.

They like sleeping in between the large pots because they are cool  at the base too.

Dixie thinks she can stay cooler under the little table.

All and all, I think Chatter has found himself a pretty nice place to live and I am blessed to have him choose us.

Little Girl is Not so Little Anymore ! ( Post From The Past )

I noticed in this past month that Little Girl is getting bigger and bigger, see for yourself. She was crawling up the far end of my porch, first up the latticework work then up the chicken wire, and over my flowers and plants. I had the wire their to keep my little tiny pup from falling through the railings. I kept it up on the far end of my porch for my Morning Glories to climb up and around on and as you can see that's just what they are doing.  I was concerned she would either hurt herself on the wire or kill my flowers. 

I did everything I could to get her to just jump from the ground up onto the porch like the other cats did but I was noticing she just couldn't when she tried. It appeared that she really wanted to do this too so up went my ramp, from the ground propped onto the side of  my porch. She would not go up it. My daughter and  granddaughter tried to encourage her to go up it but she was afraid. You could see that she wanted too. She just looked up at that ramp with the desire but not the will. After my thinking about it for a couple of days I got a brain storm....put a piece of latticework on the top of the ramp, after all she climbed up the latticework on the side of my porch.

The next morning I sat on my porch right where the ramp was and kept tapping it with my cane. Little Girl was just looking at it when Gypsy and Dixie came out on the porch, walked over to where we were and ran right down the ramp onto the ground. Well, Little Girl I believe without even thinking ran down the ramp after them and as I sat their in amazement, up the ramp she came and sat near my chair with a big smile on her face. How good is that?
