In The Sleeping Cube

A square cushioned cat cube has become a popular sleeping spot, since I moved it into the alcove where my computer station is. In the first photos you see Gamma enjoying it, and then in the last one, giant Fieldsie has managed to squeeze in there with her:

Return of Simba Crazy Cat

My neighbor's cat, Simba, who I wrote about in another recent post, has been sneaking into my house and peeing on things. Ugh. Yesterday I heard growling outside my front door. I looked out and saw Simba sprawled out on the front stoop, as if he belonged there, and my cat, Rexie, wanting to come inside, but not wanting to get too close to Crazy Simba. I grabbed my camera and got this little video of Simba's quick departure. The laugh track at the end was synchronistically provided by a party that was going on at the posh resort across the street from where I live.

Snoozy Orange Boys

Fieldsie and Zebbie enjoy snuggling up with each other for naps. I wonder if they know how well color coordinated they are?

Yellow Bee In The Beet Greens

A couple of weeks ago, as I was about to cook up some beets that had already had their tops cut off, I noticed that they had begun growing new leaves.
