Poetry and Question and we are THANKFUL!

 Hi Guys! I THINK we are sort of back to normal.  Mom was not around much for 4 days this past week. She left the house early in the morning and did not come home until way past everyone's regular bed time. Cinnamon and us cats had our suppers really late on Friday and Monday (Alex works the late shift) and Mom did not get home until around 10 pm. We were not too happy. 

I, Marv, layed on Mom while she had coffee before she left every morning and I held onto her leg (Yes, I used claws) and tried to keep her home, but it did not work. Then she had meetings yesterday and was gone almost all day and in the evening too. We were not amused. She tells us she has one more day, next week.

She was home today and I have laid on her even more than I used to in Richmond. Cinnamon is laying on her, Jo Jo is laying on her and so is Kozmo!

We went fishing to pass the day
It will be fun, or so they say.
Sitting on the  bank I wished
That I had never said I'd fished!
Where we are there is no 'net
I can't use my phone - I got it wet.
I wanna go home but Dad say No!
Gosh the time goes by so slow...

Merle Update and a Question

Merle avoiding Mom

We have a question to ask. It is for our feral buddy Merle who lives in our furrend Mary's shed. Some of you take care of feral cats. Our winters do get cold, sometimes for a few weeks we get really cold. We are wondering if any of you know of a solar powered heater or blanket that can be used to to keep the sleeping quarters warm. Currently we do have a couple of layers of insulation but would love to add a heat source. We are looking for something solar for safety reasons and that it is difficult to get power to Merle's preferred living location.

Merle on Wordless Wednesday

All of cats were in bed with Mom having our treats last night when we heard very loud caterwauling in our back yard! Mom looked out the window, and in the dark, she could see Merle and Lucifer having a "conversation". There was some whappy paws and then Merle took off! 

When Mom walked past Mary's with Cinnamon this morning, she saw Merle eating his breakfast. She remembered that she had not gotten a shot of him when he came home from the vets and his sojourn at Boundary Helping Hands recovering from antibiotics. And she asked him of she could take his picture. 

Of course, he said.

Merle lives in the shop behind him. He was having his breakfast "el Fresco" this morning. He says he did not like being cooped up inside but he does like being able to come and go and sleep where he wants.

Mom asked him what he was doing fighting with Lucifer in our back yard last night and he said Lucifer is still an intact male and had not yet realized that he, Merle was not. Lucifer wanted a fight and Merle says he does not feel like it any more. And that is what he was telling Lucifer.

The lump he had on his face and head from the infection is totally gone and he has been enjoying the sunshine, his new bed in the shop and the noms that Mary gives him. He is also starting to make furrends with us, Mrs S's Blackie and Mary's other 3 cats.He's actually a nice guy now that he does not want to chase us out of his territory any more.

 

Mom was talking to Mr T (Lucifer's Dad) last week. Lucifer is getting his snip when he goes into the vet for his shots in about 2 weeks. 

 

We hope you have enjoyed Cat-ching up on the news about Merle!
