Dee, my housemate, and fellow gardener is also a talented photographer. We are now in cahoots to take a group picture of the cats. unfortunately, we have factions of cats: There are the black and white ones, Sweetie Pie and Chow. They hate each other. There is Hella, Queen - of -Darkness, feared and hated by all,. an impressive Maine Coon cat mix, and Gemini, the only male in the bunch. He is a grey panther ( he looks like one) and is still not done growing.
They have each found their own paths through this big house and have their preferred places to sleep.
But I cannot get them to sit for a family photo! Do you cat lovers here have an idea? Crazy glue? Food treats don't work. The magic of editing?
By the way, I may get a little dog from a family that has become allergic. A little scruffy dog looking just like Toto from the Wizard of Oz. Finally, no more crumbs on the floor.
Have a great day, my friends. It will be raining here all day. I hope I can find my rain boots.
Cats definitely pick their friends. We had a beautiful white Persian feral cat show up at our old house and she had four puppies in the barn. Two of them look just like her and the other two were gray short hairs. It was fascinating to watch them play because the white cats would only play with the white cats and the gray cats would only play with the gray cats.
We had snow off and on most of the day. No accumulation, but colder than I want it to be. Good luck with getting kitties to cooperate, they're not known for that. Food maybe.... or not.
I thought I saw some small random snowflakes, but nothing to worry about. Leaves are still falling down, Let's see what tomorrow brings.
