Ecstasy! Andy love, love, loves me to scratch his chin and rub his face…
…till he doesn’t. Out comes the hind paw. He brusquely pushes my hand away, and if I ignore he first warning, he will bite me lightly to make his point. I’ve learned to pay attention!
Dougy seems aware that major snow storm is coming.
Of course, there is just so much a kitty boy can do till it comes! A nap works.
Dougy starts out with Andy’s modifications on the newspaper bed, but it just isn’t right somehow.
A modification here…
… a modification there…
…and Dougy’s satisfied with all his modifications!
Maybe not.
The other day, I thought Andy was hunting for mousies in this newspaper. Today, it looks more like he was making his bed.
Moments before, Andy tore into this newspaper, hunting those elusive mousies he and Dougy just know are hiding there. Tired out, he made himself comfortable on top of the rumpled mess. Later, he’ll look again for those mousies! They can’t hide forever.
Here, Dougy demonstrates lazy hunting.
Don’t know what you’d call this…!
Dougy thinks there might be a fly on the lampshade. Never know! Could be!
Nope. No fly.
Dougy hops on the ottoman and does the next best thing: He takes a nap.
Tuesday was some day. Around 11:15 AM, the Internet and television went down. After a few calls to the provider, the reason came out: a fiber optics cable was severed. Or was it Wednesday this happened? I tell you, losing connection with the world leaves you, well, unconnected! So, the kitty boys and I made good use of that unconnectedness: We all took lots of cat naps! I’m not sure when the repair was completed, only that when I tried to get on the Internet again yesterday, I couldn’t. More naps! (That’s Dougy napping, above. But you knew that! That’s Dougy’s ottoman under the kitty boy!)
I’ve tried to take photos that show Dougy’s healed right eye. Dougy, per usual kitty cat protocol, gives me blinky eyes or closes his eyes all together when I approach him. Rats!
Close…but the eye is in the shadows.
I guess this is the best I’ll get! The important thing is his eye is healed. The poor kitty doesn’t have to endure any medication sessions again till the next time. (Yes, this is a chronic issue with Dougy.) Of course, he hasn’t cleaned his eye boogers off yet, something he did after this photo was taken.
Dougy found the perfect place to relax – the pile of magazines and newspapers by his ottoman. Of course, before he relaxes, he checks under and between the pages for any stray mousies, and that is a very taxing business! (There were no mousies….)
