Mischief Monday - Ooops, Wrong Friend

 Hi friends, hi friends,

My friend Jack-O-Lanie has been around a lot, I have so much to tell you about her. Sometimes she comes and rubs up against the door when I am standing there. Lady and Man have tried to encourage her to come in, but she is not having anything to do with that. Lady was talking to Callie's people, and they call her Simone, and they have been feeding her for like a year. They have not seen her since she started hanging out with me.  So Lady and Man have kind of stolen their outdoor cat. 

It was recently Prime day - look what I got!

Lady looked into a program at the SPCA that let's you borrow a trap, and for a small fee with vet feral cats and you can release them. The SPCA said Lanie doesn't qualify, and wouldn't lend Man a trap so Lady and Man could just do this and take her to our vet. So Lady and Man have ordered a trap. We will keep you posted on how this plays out. Lady and Man have to talk to our vet on Monday about how they may get her in etc. If she can't be an indoor cat, she should at least be spayed and given shots etc.  Then Lady and Man will look at getting her an outdoor enclosure. 

The SPCA also told Lady to not feed outdoor cats, because she could start a colony. Lady laughed because she has no problem being a crazy cat Lady. 

At any rate, they have had to stop feeding her at the door because the wrong friend found the food.  I was the one who told my people we had the wrong visiter. 

We had to let him eat before moving it. 

Don't worry, no one was sprayed and Lady refilled and put Lanie's food up high. 

That is the mischief going on here.

Nature Friday - With Tigris

 Dear reader,

I decided it was my turn to do a nature Friday. Styx acts like he is the only one who cares about nature. I care too. I just am don't go as crazy about it. If we are honest, I am probably going to be a better hunter.

Anyways, it is autumn. The days are getting short, meaning you really have to enjoy the sun puddles while they are out. 

Here are some pictures Lady took on Thanskgiving.

Thanks to some dogs (Rosy and Sunny) for hosting this event.

Wordless Wednesday - Outtakes - Why Am I Wearing a Bra?

 

Tuesdays with Tigris - Trespasser

 Hello readers,

The Lady is insisting I start by apologizing on her behalf for not being a good friend. She has been busy with work and life and getting ready for the winter hibernation. Don't worry, Styx and I are getting lots of love and clearly, the Thanksgiving pictures are proof she may not be busy enough. At any rate, she hopes to slow down in November.

The biggest problem we have had and something that has taken up too much of her time, is a trespasser. This starving cat showed up last week. Lady decided she was going to feed it. Lady decided she is going to try and rescue her. Man is ok with this. He is supposed to be the one to stop her from these sorts of silly things.

Lady is giving our food to this stranger. I don't think I like it.

Lady and Man had named her Jack-o-lantern, because they forgot tortoiseshell cats were girls (how dump of them, this is what I am dealing with). So she is now Jack-o-Lanie. If Lady captures her, she may get another name. Lady has posted her on the lost and found page on Facebook. She does done some research into working with the SPCA to get her help. For now, she is feeding her and trying to get her to trust her.  

The real problem with this is she is giving her all the food she wants, while I am on a diet. Also, when she has the door open, we must hang out in the bathroom. While I don't want Lanie to starve, I don't really like this and hope this is a phase and Lanie finds a great home somewhere far, far way.

Happy Thanksgiving

 

We would be more thankful for the Lady and Man if there were not hats involved

Nature Friday - Autumn Is Flying By - Styx

 hi friends, hi friends!

Autumn is just flying by. The days are getting so short. It is hard to find good sun. I have discovered the Lady's office window has the best morning sun.

While I am up there I can watch the wildlife.

There are lots of turkeys around. They should run as it is Thanksgiving weekend here.

We love the deer!

Lady took her hill picture. The colours are not as vibrant as some years. 

yes that is a speed bump. People drive dangerously on our little private road. This is to slow them down.

Must get back to my fall patrol. 

your friend, Styx, the sun lover, wildlife watcher
