Tasha at Hotel D & D

Don't you think that her sparkling blue eyes are nicely accentuated by the lovely soft cat pillow.

Summer house.

2008-07-19T14:40:00.001-07:00

My new summer house. I lean my nose out to smell the herbs and wonder...raw squirrel and fresh basil...? I am a killer but I can't help it.

Made into LOLcat

2008-06-29T17:52:00.000-07:00

I do not talk like that.
I am not an LOL cat.
This is not at all amusing.

A bar of lavender soap from the cabin. Do foul-mouthed mice have to wash their mouths out with soap?

Stucco and Squirrel

2007-06-27T09:52:00.001-07:00

I could do that too, if I only weighed a few grams.
Time for vinyl siding, I say!

I don't see a mouse.

The stars are sure pretty tonight.

He is a swimming tiger.
Google him.

I suppose it is a good thing
she didn't get that spring trim yet.

Cat Commandment # 5

2007-04-15T22:49:00.000-07:00

Commandment #5:
Thou Shalt Not Do Paperwork in My Presence

Don't ignore me.

2007-04-02T23:09:00.000-07:00

Sometimes they spend too much time sitting and shuffling papers. I shall not be ignored.

It is a cat's prerogative.

Barkie Dog

2007-01-25T15:33:00.000-08:00

Unbridled enthusiasm only a block away and fenced in for fun. He will chase you endlessly back and forth along the fence line.

It seems like a good place.

2007-01-07T21:14:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure about all the spots though...I'd like to see a few more stripes. Hard to camouflage in here.

It is busy outside.

Exhausted!

2006-12-23T16:06:00.000-08:00

After hard day of playing with crinkly paper I like to sack out.

Black cat returns!

2006-12-05T10:09:00.000-08:00

Black cat comes to eat my frozen leftovers and doesn't run away but won't come in to get warm. I've been letting him use the igloo.

warmer today

2006-11-30T16:16:00.000-08:00

I had a nice snooze by the window and didn't get frost bitten like yesterday.

Windchill -40 degrees celcius

2006-11-30T11:46:00.000-08:00

I sh-sh-should st-stay in s-s-side, but Ash-shly has-s-s- been in the igloo she built for me.

Cold

2006-11-27T08:01:00.000-08:00

I miss the door to summer.

Explanation

2006-11-19T20:39:00.000-08:00

It is not nice to take a cat on a boat but to take a cat on a fishing... no no... SHARK HUNTING, trip is cruel... for both the cat and the shark, not to mention the boat owner's groin.

The boy human wrote this - make your judgements accordingly.

Unimpressed Cat

Yup, that is one unhappy puss.

Nasty Greeting Card #10

I'm a model for a nasty greeting card company. On the front..Oh, sure you're cute and cuddly...On the inside...but face it, cats are just velociraptors in fur coats with good public relations. Charlie Stross 10 July 2006

Thanks Bill.

Cat with Spats

2006-10-22T15:41:00.000-07:00

Nice shoes and even better lookout, cat.

AND thisssssssss.....

2006-09-20T12:35:00.000-07:00

hissssss.

And this....

2006-09-19T20:19:00.000-07:00

They went away

2006-09-17T19:52:00.000-07:00

and came back smelling a little like this....

Not feeling well.

2006-09-17T19:49:00.000-07:00

I don't want to talk about it.

leftovers...yuck

2006-09-17T19:45:00.000-07:00

Spalding came and polished off some day old leftovers. I didn't mind, in fact, I sat there and watched him and didn't even tell my people until it was too late. He has a dog at his place now so I understand why he comes.

New cat on the block

2006-09-12T07:03:00.000-07:00

Yes. It is true.
He exists - the black devil.
and I have the scars to prove it.
You should see Ashley though - ouch..
And the black devil - double ouch.
They had quite a sing song going on.
I watched from the roof.

Tigersan

2006-08-08T16:04:00.000-07:00

This is Tigersan. He is OK for a dog. >o< Small, cute and talented. Thanks for your visits Tigersan!

Bimbo

2006-07-26T23:43:00.000-07:00

Bimbo lives where the door is always open and frisky mice run wild through the hay fields. She is smart.

Hypnosis

2006-07-17T09:12:00.000-07:00

One night the boy fell asleep, under my perch, watching my tail go back and forth, back and forth....

Acting on the real grass

2006-07-07T09:30:00.000-07:00

I don't know why dogs think this is so hard. I'm getting so good at it that I'm giving her nightmares.

Sugar, Sugar...

2006-07-03T14:46:00.000-07:00

A new cat two houses away.
Her name is Sugar.
She stays fairly close to home.
I warned her about Ashley.

Nyuck nyuck

2006-07-02T14:40:00.000-07:00

Hee, hee, faking it on the fake grass. I had them worried!
It was sooooooo hot! I was just airing out my belly.

Well, well....

2006-06-28T10:13:00.000-07:00

look what the Ashley dragged in....
Another interloper!

nice hiding hole

2006-06-27T09:51:00.000-07:00

I don't know where you are, or who you are, but that looks like a great place to hide.

Hina

2006-06-24T14:30:00.000-07:00

What can I say? That is an amazing pose. Apparently she was trying to look cute for my people while balancing on the fence. Pretty and talented. She lives with Kala.

kala's tail

2006-06-24T14:28:00.000-07:00

Here it is! I haven't seen anything like it before!

kala

2006-06-24T14:22:00.000-07:00

Kala is another cat in the neighbourhood. She lives several blocks away and doesn't intrude on my territory like some other cats.. She has cute orange spots on her short grey fur and the tip of her tail looks like a orange stripped transplant - from Ashley!

INFECTION!

2006-06-21T11:57:00.000-07:00

You can see it is true that my leg was a little swollen.

Life's a blurrrrrrrr

2006-06-21T11:48:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted for awhile because I have been to the VET! I made her chase me around the house three times before she stuffed me in the cage and locked the door. That should have convinced her that my leg was OK but it didn't. True, it hurt and it was swollen but I could still run...so what was the big deal? Now she is stuffing blue pills down my throat twice a day. I have to admit it feels better. So much so, that I licked all the fur off the affected area. It hurt too much to do that before. Now what Ms Fix-it? A cone around my neck?

The hunter is hunted.

2006-06-09T10:31:00.000-07:00

Magpie? Blue Jay? Robin? Leaf? Wind? Bug?

....

camera. Sigh.

Dog tongue.

2006-06-01T09:36:00.000-07:00

There is a lot of room for drool on that thing!

Should I?

2006-06-01T09:32:00.000-07:00

Or shouldn't I...ah, my belly is full of Salmon. It is
your lucky day Robin.

Self portrait

2006-06-01T09:26:00.000-07:00

Just wait, I want to adjust the focus...wait...wait... Argh!...Next time I'll use the timer and do it myself.

My front perch in the spring

2006-05-24T16:54:00.000-07:00

So many great places to nap!

Hot

2006-05-23T21:43:00.000-07:00

It was soooooo hot. She put a blanket in front of the open window on the shady side and I stretched out to enjoy maximum exposure to the breeze.

Poo!

2006-05-23T17:03:00.000-07:00

The problem with living on the way to the dog walk...Ah, it is a dog thing.
I use the old leaves beside the garage, soft, fluffy and easy to rake over top when I'm done. Why would you want to do that in public! Yikes!

SKUNK!

2006-05-23T16:58:00.000-07:00

It's out there and I'm not.
I'm much too smart for that
but
no harm in looking.
AND, I get to see my
reflection!
Mm Mm Mm.
I am a good looking cat.

Bella got a trim.

2006-05-23T13:58:00.000-07:00

Awh, don't be sad doggie, it'll grow back.

It is SPRING!

2006-05-23T13:34:00.000-07:00

when all is said and done....

2006-05-22T23:46:00.000-07:00

Fun to play with.
Not good to eat - too much fur.

barky dog 1

2006-05-10T19:35:00.000-07:00

The boy took this shot through a hole in the fence. It captures her essence. She lives about half way to Spalding's place. Naturally, every time I go to check on Spalding I have to endure that nasty racket. I've heard it is worse than her bite, but I think I'll let someone else test that hypothesis.

Marley and Snickers - together?

2006-05-09T15:11:00.000-07:00

Yep, that is either a low belly or some stubby legs.

Snickers

2006-05-09T09:23:00.000-07:00

Snickers lives with Marley. Not a bad looking cat if he stays in his own territory - if you know what I mean....I don't think he'll be going far with those stubby legs! And no boots?! What's up with that?

Marley

2006-05-07T21:27:00.000-07:00

Marley lives a few blocks away. She's cute but I don't need her moving in with me.

Spalding

2006-05-03T14:46:00.000-07:00

This is a bad photo of Spalding. A cat of few meows who lives down the street and rarely visits.

Posing.

2006-05-01T16:36:00.000-07:00

I am cat. Hear me roar.

Watch it!

2006-05-01T16:34:00.000-07:00

Cats have narcoleptic powers. You have been warned.

Yawn.

2006-05-01T16:33:00.000-07:00

More dogs. Yawn. Ha ha.

M2

2006-04-19T15:33:00.000-07:00

Uh,...Hello, dog...?
DOG...helllllooooo!
HELLO...um..hey DOGGIE!
It's A TREE ROOT!!!

The squirrel is up.
Look uuuuuuppp.

Lily

2006-04-18T13:56:00.000-07:00

What's the matter doggie?
Cat got your tongue?

All aloooooone in the Moooooonliiight.....

2006-04-18T10:18:00.000-07:00

I was beautiful then
and now too.

The Nerve!

2006-04-11T16:52:00.000-07:00

It is spring, so she leaves the door open and look which cat drags in...Ashley! You better hide your face, interloper!

Bella

2006-04-11T16:50:00.000-07:00

Nice smile doggie.
You smell like Elmo.

Elmo

2006-04-11T16:44:00.000-07:00

This is Elmo. He lives a few blocks away from me, and I've seen him in my territory, sometimes I smell him on my people...hmmm.

My down route.

2006-04-09T10:04:00.000-07:00

I like go on the roof. It gives me a good view of my territory, Ashley, Hobbes et. al. (they are too wimpy to come up) and excellent access to squirrels. I have to climb down the tree, though. It isn't as easy as it looks - especially head first, but I can do it either way.

Bite

2006-04-03T07:41:00.000-07:00

If you try to tickle my hind feet ... this is what you get and a good thumping too.

Hobbes

2006-04-03T07:34:00.000-07:00

This is Hobbes. He lives in the neighbourhood with his friend named Bogie. Hobbes has the same brazen attitude as Ashley - comes right to the door and asks for food...No, expects food. He used to try being cute but now he just scowls and a makes a lot of noise...more than a magpie! Has a pink nose too.

Just me.

2006-04-02T15:00:00.000-07:00

After the last two entries you probably need to see me again.
Ashley is probably named after Ashley Wilkes...if He is Ashley Wilkes, then I am Rhett Butler.

Ashley Again!

2006-04-02T14:55:00.000-07:00

He's lurking up the steps to reorow at the door. He has a really pink nose...eeewh...and black freckles on his lips. He won't show them to the camera. Maybe next time.

Ashely

2006-04-02T14:49:00.000-07:00

This is Ashley. He lives across the back lane from me and only gets dry food. He thinks he is cute when he rolls around like this and tries to get my food from my people. How degrading and blatant. Have you no pride?

I told you I could...

2006-04-02T14:45:00.000-07:00

...drink out of the toilet...not that I want to, I don't. Maybe a baby gator will pop up sometime.

Impressionist brush.

talking to the tiger

2006-03-18T09:18:00.000-08:00

Out for a perimeter check

2006-03-12T14:39:00.000-08:00

There are a few interlopers in my territory. Here I am, sniffing out a good hiding place along the front walk.

My Front Perch

2006-03-12T14:35:00.000-08:00

I have to monitor the situation outside. This is the view through the front window, sometimes a bird stops by for a peak inside. One time Hobbes, a bothersome cat from down the block, bounced off the ledge. Did he fall off the roof? Did he jump six feet in the air? Did he he hurl himself six feet sideways from the nearby tree? Who cares? The shocked expression as he bounced and fell to the ground is good enough for my memories.

drink

2006-03-12T14:33:00.000-08:00

It took a while but I finally trained those people to put a water dish in the tub. It isn't as fresh as the toilet but more dignified and they tend to change the water more frequently.

I see you!

2006-03-12T14:31:00.000-08:00

Get your hand off that mouse!
