Andy doesn’t like me to stick my hand or a finger in the side hole of the kitty tree.
Miller season 2014.
Anyone with cats is familiar with the sense you are not alone.

12June20: Andy’s day…
Hey, he’s a kitty! What did you expect?
10Jun20: the miller returns…
Andy spots the miller again.
It’s on the ceiling.
Dougy joins the hunt!
Andy eventually caught one of the millers that trapped itself inside the lampshade, After liberally dousing it in cat spit, then pounding it gently with his paw, Andy showed good sportsmanship and released it…so he and Dougy might catch it again later. The miller took off in a wobbly flight that ended on the floor. Seeing the vulnerable miller on the floor, the kitty boys chased after it because, well, “cat”!
09Jun20: bugged again…
The miller is on the lampshade again, which…
…activates Andy’s killer instincts and alerts Dougy to the possibility of a yummy snack should Andy miss.
The kitty boys share a perch. That miller is better than a $30 kitty toy and is edible!
No! The miller flies away!
08Jun20: the hunt continues…
The yummy miller shows up again, switching my placid kitty boys into kill-kill-kill mode.
The hunt quickly moves closer to the floor, but…
…the miller once again survives kitty boys on the hunt! Andy and Dougy resume their watch. This hunt will continue to the death! KILL! KILL! KILL! (And you think Andy and Dougy are sweetie pies!)
07Jun20: miller time…
What’s up, Dougy?
Wow! Andy’s batting a miller around!
Aw…. Looks like Andy isn’t having any luck on this bug hunt.
The bug’s hiding down there now. Dougy (take my word) is down there, too, but the miller’s nowhere to be found so he wanders off.
Andy’s hunt is over, too. The miller is safe for now, but mark my words, Andy’s horns are still up!
06Jun20: Zoom!
This popped up on Facebook yesterday. It’s Dougy’s longtime most favorite place in the universe! He always looks like he’s zooming around in his English sports car.
Any new box becomes a battle ground till the kitty boys sort out which kitty gets the first sit!
The best boxes serve as ambush caverns, where a kitty boy attacks a Birbug (or foot) passing by.
No box is too small, shallow, or tricky to get in. Ask Dougy!
Of course, as hallowed as boxes are, the kitty boys love, love, love magazines and newspapers on the floor, too. I had to learn this the hard way. Now, neither hits the floor till I’ve finished reading it.
Both kitty boys.
I was wrong. This is Dougy!
But this is Andy.
05Jun20: Andy really doesn’t care. Do you? Or no news is good news.
So much racket! Andy is not amused.
Andy watches for a string, a birdie, a… he doesn’t care! Anything but this!
Good grief!
Andy settles for a cat nap.

04Jun20: Dougy is a little poop…
Andy’s minding his own business, but Dougy decides to be a little poop and challenge his brother.
Of course, when you stand up to a bully, the bully loses steam! Dougy quickly decides Andy isn’t to be messed with today, then hops off the recliner!
Then Andy hops onto the back of the recliner, the better to track his brother’s withdrawal from the kitty battlefield. Well played, Andrew!
03Jun20: high drama…
Some high drama’s happening on the television, but there are more important details, kitty boy details to tend to on the end table.
