Cat crazy

My animals have been quiet this summer (well, Choco is never quiet but she hasn't been doing anything interesting lately). They just laze around, occasionally rip up something (Tetsu re-wallpapered a wall that had been badly cat scratched) and eat a lot.

Last weekend I bought the cats a cat toy. I don't know why I bother. They don't seem to be interested in cat toys but I thought this one might have play incentive. It is a super duper diet ball but I have my doubts about its effectiveness. The cat food gets put inside, the little windows open around it and as the cat plays, a niblet of food falls through the holes now and then. Right now only Toi is the only one that will bat this around a bit. I'm not sure if he's getting exercise (and hopefully losing weight) or just eating twice his normal intake throughout the day. No other cat cares to work for an extra snack so it all goes to Toi.

He does look a little chubby. He likes to tease Choco by sitting on the window sill and provoking a canine uproar.

Here's an interesting "perspective" on cats. I was scanning something off yesterday when Chip jumped up on the scanner. Wait! That's not good for the scanner! But look, a cute scan of Chip's front paw got scanned. Talk about a cat crazed woman... I put Chip back on the scanner and scanned her! I'm not making a practice of this but it's an unusual picture. I need to clean the scan screen now...



And as it heads into cooler weather, all the cats congregate on the sofa (with some cat cushions) and cuddle. Poor Vel is still left out but I do think I have enough cats don't you?

What a fine picture of your feline friends, Tanya- They look like they are a happy group- Our dog and cat are tolerant of one another but both are divas so it is hard for them to be buddies.

Warmest regards,
Anna

kitty paw scans are wonderful! Trust them to be creative ;-) You are very lucky your cats like to sleep all together. I have 3, but they prefere to rotate than share...

That photo of Chip and Choco would make a great quilt cat. Such cute kitty feet. They look so happy and comfy on the couch. Think they would let you settle in with them?

Your cats look so cute. I love the sleeping photo. I must say I enjoy reading your blog so much. Loved the retrospective about your grandparents. I so wish I had found out more about my own...and heard more of their stories. I have really been faithfully asking my mother her stories now that she is ill. We need to appreciate our parents stories more than we do.

I like the photo of the "scanned" cat... It's very original :o)!
Do you let the cats out to the garden sometimes? So they can meet Choco face to face :o)

The only toy my cat will play with is a mouse that feels like it's made from real fur. I marinate it in a jar of catnip, and she goes NUTS with it. If I throw it in the air, she does somersaults to catch it.

The pics of Chip's paws are so funny! Love them! And all the kitties on the couch - lol. Cats get a lot cuddlier in cooler weather!

All these photos are so cute! Love the catspaws. I play with my cat with a 3 foot long peacock feather, he loves it. But he's only about 2 years old. I always enjoy your blog.

Enough cats? Is there such a thing? If you're asking from practical considerations, I guess there is. But if you're asking the part of me that really wants a new floofy kitten to love, there isn't!

I love the "cat pile" photots. With only one cat, the only cat piles that occur here are at night, and I am on the bottom of them. Sofy, cushy mattress or hard, bony person = which would you choose to sleep on? Molly sleeps on top of my ankles. Then she moves up to my hipbone. Which, by the way, is not comfortable.

Oh, a CAT Scan. I had one of those when I was in the hospital last month.

You are not alone....we have four cats at our house.
It was never planned that way, they just happened.
The paw scans are neat!
