Hang on a tick!

Holli’s a little stinker but she’s the most lovable of the bunch. Can’t resist her charms when she wants some lovin’.
She must really be moping tonight because she hasn’t bugged me to get on my lap and that’s VERY unusual.

I hope they get the monitor to you quickly. They’re usually pretty good about fast delivery. It’ll give you some peace of mind having it there and hooked up.

Ospreys come to nest on the little island
that is across the road and can be seen from the front porch.
They were not in residence when Luvvy and gang were up here.

Ooooo...man! I wish they had been! They are gorgeous!

I guess I’d better go. I’m kind of wiped out tonight...even though I had a nap. probably got 4 hours sleep last night. Every little sound wakes me up...plus I had Peaches wanting to cuddle. He’s out tonight. I’m going to celebrate. LOL! Bless his heart.

Nite, guys. Y’all have fun. Wonder which one of you will snag the #50. :)

Just wait until he’s full-grown. He’s gonna be a hoss!
Yes, keep begging your hubby about a new pic of that handsome feller. Tell him Tigermaus has fans who want to admire him. LOL

His coat is probably like Shags’s. It’s time for those winter coats and they’re different than their summer ones. Shags looks like a different cat too. If he’d shown up during winter, he never would have been stuck with the name. His summer coat is kind of scruffy and shaggy and I referred to him as the “shaggy guy” when he showed up and he got used to that. When it was obvious he wasn’t going to leave and he had to have an official name for the vet, he became Shags. I call him. Mr. Shags these days because he’s so handsome.

Aaaaaaaaw, how sweet he’s waiting for you at the window when you get home. He probably spends quite a bit of time there looking for you. He wuvz his mum. :-)

It would be sooooooo nice to be able to get up there at least once. That area looks so beautiful in the pix you’ve posted over time. I’ve always wanted to check out the New England area but never had the opportunity. It’s beautiful and also full of history.

You had a busy day and I’m surprised you stayed up as late as you did. GREAT that Peaches is outside so you won’t have him pestering you. LOL!

Sleep well!

He did something terribly bad, and he and I had what I like to call, an “attitude adjustment”, as he was getting really aggressive about wanting to be fed and BITING if I didn’t give it to him when he asked. He quite the little gentleman now, and asks nicely.
*evil grin*

Yep, sometimes “attitude adjustments” are necessary and that aggressiveness definitely needed to be dealt with. Glad it worked!

We ended up with a cat who was a biter several years ago. One of Hubby’s friends had him and really didn’t know anything about cats, which is one reason he got so aggressive. He asked us to take him and we did, and it wasn’t long before I broke the bad habit.
We had him for almost 16 years and he was a pretty good cat though a little obnoxious at times. But he didn’t bite!
