I forgot to plug the kitty in. 😺 I hope Andy doesn’t totally discharge!

Andy finally exhausted himself hunting the peacock feather. Now’s time to cool down by the fan.

Because Andy has a heart ❤️ murmur, I pay attention to his behavior during play. When he starts to flag, I slow down the play, letting him “catch” the feather 🪶 without having to work at it.

Once he catches it, I gently tug on the feather till he lets go. That way, I think, he gets the thrill of the hunt without working at it.

I never take the play to the point Andy’s huffing and puffing, though he’d go that far with it if I didn’t pay attention.

Note

I still am doing this blog on my smartphone. Regrettably, I haven’t been able to learn an efficient way to use the reader, so am way behind following what you have posted since the notorious laptop situation began last May.

There is hope the new laptop will arrive this week after lots of lies and perfidy.

The fellow at the shop where I left my laptop for repairs needs to work on his broken customer relations model. In a small town – Alliance had 8151 people in the 2020 census – people know people and/or are related to people.

People compare notes, give business to those businesses run by people who are honest dealers, value their reputations, give honest answers to concerns about expected services or ordered products. 🤔 What a concept, Stephen!

👍

Peacock feathers have a short life around here. By the time they get to this stage even Andy takes askance at why I bother to bring them out .

Andy thinks someone e needs to keep track of his “hooman” and that he’s well-suited to be the one!

Andy takes a break from being a minor international cat celebrity to let you know today is his Auntie Kathy’s birthday!

(My sister Kathy is Andy’s kitty cousin Saki’s “hooman”.)

HAPPY 🎂 BIRTHDAY, KATHY!

I see you, my kitty boy!

After all the peacock feather play, Andy still has time for an old toy. RAWR!

Andy is a smoke Persian. Sometimes, that characteristic doesn’t show well, especially when he’s short haired after a grooming.

Lately, I’ve noticed his ruff shows classic smoke Persian light shading. Hints of that “smoke” show elsewhere – all over – my little guy. He’s quite pretty for it!

All the dollars spent on kitty beds…! 😺

Andy found an old “toy”, a cap off a juice bottle, and worried it to death.

He bopped it around like a hockey puck – he and his litter were born on July first, Canada Day 🇨🇦 after all! – till he wore himself out and took a kitty nap.
