Dougy is anxious. Why Because the guest bedroom door has been closed all night! He wonders he going to get his beauty rest if he can’t sleep on the guest bed. Good grief! It’s almost 3:00 AM!
Nope! Still closed.
Dougy tries to make the best of it, but he checks that door regularly for change.
He comes back to the ottoman to ask me in Cattinese, “Mrow~mrow.” He wants me to answer when the door will be open again. Dang it!
=(^+^)=
[My Dutch friend Marianne arrived late yesterday afternoon after a very long day’s travel. We decided the kitty boys could handle being locked out of the guest bedroom for the night if it meant she could get a good night’s rest. Andy had no problem with it, but Dougy is impatient to get back in.]
Dougy is definitely a character. Did he know Marianne from before? Cute post.
No, though he was very interested, as was Andy, in her presence!
😊😊
Dougy was a bit frustrated !:)
In friendship

He definitely was, and he was meowing his protest off and on all day!
I don’t get it!! They are sleepy day and night?!? You kitties need to look fresh, to take good photos, especially you, Dougy.
LOL!
Poor kitties.
After the first day (Marianne had a long trip to Nebraska and was very tired… ) Marianne left the door cracked enough for kitties to resume their usual patterns. They have been going in and out since I got up. (I’m working on my blog while Marianne sleeps, and the recliner faces the wall where that door is.) I can’t wait to ask Marianne if the kitty boys were an annoyance or tolerable last night! Dougy can be a pretty big pest when you are trying to sleep.
Oooo that Dougy. I want it all and I want it now, meow.
The doors cracked enough that the kitty boys can pester Marianne all night if they wish! I will ask her in the morning if she’s going to close the door again, but she’s a cat person. I suspect they will continue to have access to the guest bedroom.
Dougy is a character, with a strong personality.
And how! Tomorrow, he demonstrates that again in Post 1513!
Looking forward to his next adventure!
They already decided they like their “Auntie” Marianne, though Andy seems most likely to become the favorite. Maybe not. Dougy was putting on a pretty good show for Marianne late yesterday!
Does she know which one is which?
Somewhat. it takes a little time to watch their behavior and learn the easiest way to sort them out: Their eye color, with yellow for Andy and orangey-brown for Dougy. Other characteristics – Dougy looks more Persian, with a broader head and a top heavy-looking front end because of the bigger ruff. Andy takes more after the Birman father they have, with a more slender build.
It isn’t always clear on photos, but I know what you mean. At one point we hosted a black cat, and to me she looked distinctly different from my Barmalei, but other people thought they were seeing double.
That’s true. It is doubly confusing with smoke Persians because their fur shows differently in different light sources and from different viewing angles. I think of them as being black cats, but they are many shades of black through grey.
On the photos they look as slate grey.
When they are groomed, the center portions of their bodies looks that color, and their points and legs are black., similar to their Birman father!
They are gorgeous guys, whatever color they are!
Thanks! I think so, too, but I just lucked out getting them, as you can read in “Andy and Dougy come home”, above.
I think I have read it.
OK! It doesn’t hut to bring the link to others who haven’t read it, so my mission is done! LOL!
Mission accomplished, yes.
Yep!
haha…aren’t they funny. If, the door was opened Dougy would probably look all around it and then leave. They like things the same….don’t ever move furniture either.
Please forgive me for not getting to your blog so much lately. Making soups, loaves, muffins, cookies and anything else I can think of with the veggies is SO time consuming. The temps have hot -#C at the airport here so very soon it will be the same temperature here in the bowl. Prince George is in a valley, where the airport is not in the valley. Must quit yapping and get busy.
Your friend,
Jean
I know how that can take up lots of time, but think bout all the goodies you’ll have this winter! (As I am sure you do!)
True. very true! We will appreciate the work that’s been done. Right now I’m so sick of looking at a mess and veggies waiting for me. I have a ton of green beans and don’t know what to do with them. It’s not like I could make bean bread or cookies….don’t think anybody’d eat it. Any ideas?
Love green beans but there seems to be a limit to what you fan do with them besides can them and eat lots of steamed green beans in the meantime. I used to give a lot away to the neighbors.
Closing a bedroom door means cats scratching the outside of the door all night long, until you give in, and open the door!
Apparently the kitty boys didn’t think of it or Marianne didn’t hear it. I wasn’t aware of any more visits and racket than usual.
That happens here a lot. If a door is closed, the cats want to know why, and what is behind the door! 🙂
LOL! With as many as you have, you must have quite a “flock” of cats waiting for you on the other side of the door! I live alone with the kitty boys, of course, so I usually don’t close the bathroom door (or my bedroom door). I always have company no matter what I’m doing in the bathroom, as I’m sure you can relate to. Since Marianne’s been here, of course, I do close the door. When I open it, there always are the two kitty boys waiting!
Would he have jumped on the bed with her? My cats will stay out when a guest is in but if the guest leaves the room it’s open game.
Yes, he would have! Andy most likely would have jumped on a night stand next to the bed, then onto the window sill to looks for nighttime bunny visitors.
Good for you my friend
Scramble the eggs
Change the channel
Very inspiring Doug
As Sheldon Always
One does what one must.
Yes yes yes
that is a phenomenon… as soon as a door is closed it becomes the point of interest…. I hope your friend has sweet dreams and a wonderful time with you and the boys ;o)
She reports having slept well last night. I know we won’t be able to do everything I thought of doing, so anything left out is cause for a new visit!
I hope she had a good night’s sleep uninterrupted by sad kitty distress calls. I am sure Dougy was revived by breakfast.
Apparently the kitty boys didn’t yowl or scratch at the door, though Dougy posted himself next to the door until it was kitty food time. Then, he bugged me in my bed! LOL!
