These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Pet Day at My House!!

Note: This is my 4th post for today, so don't miss the others, below. Am I an overachiever, or simply annoying? LOL!!


Last night I looked at "the kids" curled up on the foot of my bed, and I thought how adorable they are. I took some pictures without the flash, so the quality isn't the greatest, but if I'd used the flash, Ali would have wakened and probably moved away. I didn't want to lost this opportunity.

Ali was actually curled up. He sleeps in an almost fetal position. Damn, he looks so cute like!



Look at that! His little paws are pulled up close to his belly, and he curls around them. My heart just goes, Awwwww, when I see that!



Then there is China who sleeps sprawled out. I'm sure part of it is because her belly that she doesn't curl up, because it would be hard for her, but she has always slept stretched out, even when she was a tiny puppy.



She is so relaxed and trusting of her world that she doesn't seem to need to curl up.


Or occasionally she rolls over onto her back like she did just as I finished taking the pictures above. Here she is splayed out on her back. Look at that little fat belly!



And now I have a very special surprise! Just a few minutes ago I looked out and saw Lucky Jack Wilson Fred Stormy Winky Sumo Bezoar Harry Meow having a go at the food dish!

I got the camera, slowly opened the door just a couple inches, and poked the lens out. Fortunately LJWFSWSBHM went just to the steps and stopped. He sat very still for about 45 seconds, allowing me to get a couple snaps.

He left the deck then, and I felt badly because I had chased him off. However, a few minutes later he was back and scarfing the food again.

Now, have I dragged this out long enough????

Alright, without further ado, here he is!!!

Isn't he handsome? BTW, it looks like he has lost the tip of his ear, but it is turned back. I tried to get one more picture to show his big puffy tail, but I didn't get backed out quickly enough.




Here is a closer shot. Such a pretty cat, despite his hobo life.


There you have it! A day (and night) in the life of my critters!!

  2. LOVE the pictures!!!!! Makes me really miss Ali and China...what sweet babies.

    Wilson is so handsome!! I am so happy he found you. I am sure in no time he will be letting you pet him and before we know it you will be sharing pictures of Wilson sleeping on the bed.

    Just so everyone knows...last night I talked with Lynilu and I said, "How is Wilson?" Well, she didn't correct me, so I think that shows that his name is Wilson. :)

  6. Dawn, I'm guessing here that you don't like cats much, right?

    Gee, I wonder where that came from?? LOL!!

    Glad you stopped by and love the kids, at least! :D


    Man, I'm happy it speaks to you! He's a neat cat, fer sher!

    Everyone - I think it is interesting who each of you is calling LJWFSWSBHM by the name you chose for him!! I may have to name him Aloucious or Cuthbert just to avoid a fight!! Don't make me have to get tough about this!

    LOL!!! :D

  10. Awww I can totally see Ali sleeping curled up and China sprawled out. Indicative of their personalities!
    I love the kitty, what a pretty eye he has! He's so lucky to have you (and you totally should take those initials as his name LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Okay, whatever this cat's name is or is going to be -- he totally reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow!!!

    And your babies are precious!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh and as an after thought -- I just thought the cat looked like CJS from looking at the photo. Remember....I don't have a favourite because I didn't weigh in on "name that cat" when you first asked! :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thanks Sherry!!! I think he looks like Captain Jack too!! Thus the name Jack. When Lynilu said he had one eye, I thought of Captain Jack.

  14. Patti,, if I could pronounce it, I might do it! LOL!! Ali and China are cute, aren't they? But they're no help with the cat's name either. I ask them, and they just stand and look at me. Duh!

    Sherry, LOL! At this point, I may not name him, just to keep y'all going!! He is rather rakish, for sure!

    The little ones are adorable, and much like babies, especially when they sleep!

    LOL at you for back-peddling on the
    naming of the cat!! Too funny!

    Daisy, don't you love it when another support vote (recalled or not!!) falls into your field?? Hee hee!


    ~ ~ ~ ~

    This is just too funny! I seriously might let this just run for a while and see what silly things come from it!

  15. Kitty is very handsome. He DOES look like a pirate with that eye. But somehow, I want to call him "lynx"...

  16. Annie, aren't you cleaver?! "Lynx." Hmmmm!

  17. He is very precious! Thanks for the pics.
