21Mar20: important kitty boy business…

20200320_074722

Dougy wants some adventure, so…

…he looks behind the end table, where, as all kitty boys know, the kitty toys are kept…

…and a lot more. (Thanks for showing the world my mess, kitty!)

Dougy just knows there are more interesting places to go. He considers the box, then comes back to tell me something very important before he moves on: “Meow!”

Yes, kitty boys do trash dive. Now I understand what Dougy meant by “Meow!’ He asked for permission! (Andy wants me to call Jackson Galaxy to report a cat from hell so he, Andrew James Thomas, can meet his hero, but Dougy resists knocking the wastepaper basket over…this time.)

Sorry, Andy. Maybe someday. Don’t cry!

After a brief adventure in the kitchen – I’m afraid to check – Dougy realizes what he wants to do all along is clean his “precious”.

20Mar20: Where’s the birdie?

The governor of Maryland outlines his states’s response to COVID-19. In the background, a bird sings it’s call for a mate. Andy hears the bird and his RAWR is turned on!

That dang bird is somewhere! (“Horns” up!)

Behind the governor??? Hopping around these people?

Did it fly up there?

Where is that birdie?

Maryland, Andy. Maryland!

19Mar20: gracious acceptance…

Dougy stops by for a snooze on the kitty lounger. There’s a dispute over this territory lately, with Andy coming out on top.

So, when Andy comes into the front room, it seems there is a brouhaha brewing! Without a fight, Andy just plops down! (Andy on the right….) Dougy realizes he has to make a decision.

Yes, there’s always the current box available, and Dougy is happy to snooze here as well!

Sure beats their confrontation yesterday, shown in this photo!

18Mar20: Good grief, kitties!

They are at it again. Dougy decides the kitty lounger is where he wants to be after Andy used it with impunity for the past several days. Andy stops by to use it, only to get cattitude from Dougy. 

Andy handles it with grace! When your brother is being a poop, just let him be.

Dougy leaves the kitty lounger to “hide” on the path in case Andy comes back expecting Dougy to be, um, off the kitty lounger. Cat logic!

Biding his time, a short distance away, Andy knows Dougy’s waiting in a trap. After Dougy goes into the guest bedroom, Andy follows. Who knows what happens next? They probably are sharing the bed!

17Mar20: no green here today…

20200316_011958

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you today! Hope you are healthy, not getting closer than two meters or six feet away from fellow humans, that you have sufficient toilet paper but not so much others are denied the dignity of a healthy bowel movement and a hygienic wipe.

I hope you have no plans to drink green beer – ugh! – but corned beef and cabbage is a fine meal. 

Finally, I put you on notice: If you pinch me for not wearing green, I’ll punch you! Love the Irish, but I’m not Irish. If I wear green, it is an accident or I just happened to have nothing else clean that day but the green whatever. 

16Mar20: Andy and Dougy in motion…

There is something Zen-like in a cat washing up… Dougy is featured here.

I confess: I cannot avoid handling a “floofy” cat tail, and Andy’s is the “floofiest”!

What’s more catlike than staring out the window at forbidden treats?

I like this one as much for how well the color of Dougy’s eyes shows up as for the fun he has playing alone.

=(^+^)=

I hope you enjoyed the selection. Most I chose because they are short – who has time to watch a lot of cat videos? – but show things of interest to regular readers of this blog.

 

15Mar20: more drama…

Dougy’s asleep, dreaming kitty dreams. Watch out Dougy! Here comes…

…ATTENTION! Yes, Doug (the human) can’t resist a soft, floofy kitty boy and he wants to pet Dougy. OH NO!

Dougy moves away from Doug (the human) and can relax again.

La! La! La! Andy pops into the scene, unaware of Dougy’s presence…yet!

Uh oh! Dang that Dougy! Andy just got comfortable and a chase is about happen.

20200314_000352

Andy’s still in the guest bedroom, Dougy’s just coming out. They must have resolved their issues like good kitty boys! (Or had a dust up in the dark. We will never know.)

14Mar20: sleepy boys…

Not much happening today. 

13Mar20: peaceable kingdom…

20200311_020008

Sometimes personal hygiene takes precedence over turf wars.

12Mar20: Dougy is victorious!

Andy feels a bit paranoid, with cause!

Dougy moves to a more strategic position: He has Andy covered. Andy takes a bath to ease his stress.

Impasse… Hard to believe Andy had Dougy penned in in his own territory just days ago!

Going nowhere fast! A short time later, Andy took a chance and ran past Dougy. Dougy thought briefly about it: “Chase that rascal, or just let it go?” Dougy decided to just let Andy get by this time, though they’d have a chase later in the day.
