Busy days

I am getting very busy again. I have new cats to meet this week (love that)  and lots of my regulars to pamper to pieces.

I try to take time to brush each cat, if they will allow it. It helps to bond with them and it is something for them to look forward to.

Of course, while I brush we discuss the cares of the world and the latest cat news.

Back home, Audrey is having a ball with a new toy I bought her. It's a feather and a few pom-poms on a rod and she loves it. The cat scratcher in the photo is called an ESS and I recommend them highly.

She kicks the heck out of it with her back feet.

I spend a lot of time playing with Audrey because the older cats don't bother. Even her mother, Annie will not play very often with her and yet Annie loves to play with me. When she does play with Audrey it sometimes ends up in a squabble over one of them getting too rambuncious. Annie has little patience. Then the feelings are hurt and it's over. So, I have become the play-mate for both of them.

Lily is doing well again.

 She is almost 18 years old and she is as light as a feather. She is strong, though and has a reason to live. His name is Ed.

It is so cold here again. It's minus a gazillion and the winds are biting cold. I walked Kane today but we kept the walk to 20 minutes. His leg is ok but a little tender as he slipped yesterday on the ice. He spent all of last evening sleeping by the wood-stove with the cats. Did I mention he thinks he is a cat? He does. I caught on to that the first time I saw him lie on his back and swat at a ribbon. Poor fella!

The ferals are fed. I'm tired and a blueberry tea with honey is calling me.
