Annie, Audrey & Sierra spend much of their time in our garage.
They find it cool down there and enjoy the cat-tree in the window. We leave the radio on most of the evening and there are lots of places for them to explore. Audrey sometimes holds yoga classes for the older cats and also thinks that every-time she goes down to the garage she should get a treat.
"Come on ladies...s.t.r.e.t.c.h"
That comes from me having to use treats to round them up at night when I want to lock up and shut the lights. Last night, while I was sweeping the garage floor, I noticed Annie batting at something on the floor. It was a wee toad that was desperately trying to find an escape hole to the outside world. Poor thing. I picked the hysterically happy cat up and opened the garage door. I don't think I've ever seen a toad hop so fast. Annie's nose is still out of joint.
But still, she enjoys her cat-tree and spends much of her morning, too, enjoying the warm sun and listening to the birds.
I'm starting to see the end of the perennial garden for this year and if I find any blossoms still looking good they now fill my pottery vases.
The print is by artist Deidre Wicks.
I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that I have a few favorite cat prints and drawings in the tiny mouse-house.
Lie around the house and do nothing,
It's wonderful.
The top one is a drawing, done by my daughter Jess when she was a young girl, of our persian, Maggie.
A cat that is still missed today.
The painting to the left was done by artist and friend Donna Baskin of her three loved cats and my kitty-clients, Rosie, Otis & Lola. The painting to the right is of three black cats and was a gift from my friend, Martha, when I started the cat-sitting service. All the memories make this a very loved little corner of my home.
hugs, Deb
