FFF Nature Friday - By Styx

 Hi pals, hi pals.

The Lady says I can do my first FFF Nature Friday. I am so excited. I am so excited. Thanks to Aunty-Yam and Rosy and Sunny for hosting this.

Here I go.

I sit at the window and dream

of drinking cold water from a stream.

Lady and Man are so so so mean

They really don't have a nice gene.

Inside they make me stay

Missing the sun and her rays

Oh how I want to be free.

As a bonus I will title some pictures Lady took on a walk I did not get to go on (although I know I would not like a harness).

A think to eat

another thing to eat

Things to climb

Way better food outside

I hope you have enjoyed my first FFF Nature Friday.

Your pal, Styxy who wants to be free

Mischief Monday - Inadequate by Styx

 Hi pals, hi pals,

The Lady person showed you last week how she got bird spikes to keep me off the banister. Her first attempt was inadequate. 

I am a very agile cat and I learned I could jump across them to land on the post on the landing.

This was great until those spikes tripped me and I fell off.

I wasn't hurt at all because I am Super Styx.

However, the people were really freaked out so they put up more.

It looks sooooo ugly, but apparently safety first!

So far, this has been working. I miss my balance beam.

you pal, Super Styx who wants to walk the tightrope, who is sorry we didn't get to visit this weekend but Lady went away to Cheese Fest. 

Nature Friday - Where is the Post - by Tigris and Lady

 Tigris: Ummmm, our nature Friday post is late. This is very rude.

Lady: It has been a gross, cold, rainy week. Now I don't have to be out all the time, I am not.  Also, I am not loving nature right now.

How can you not love nature?

Nature and I had a bit of a run in, literally on Tuesday morning. You see a deer ran in front of me when I was driving on the highway to work.  Unfortunately the deer was killed and my car was damaged. I wasn't hurt.

That is not good and what is worse is you missed the opportunity to serve me fresh venison. 

Well, that is not happening. Now I am dealing with insurance and car repair and all the things and I am not loving nature much.

Well, you can love me instead. 

That I can do!

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event.

Mischief Monday - The Barrier - by Tigris

Dear reader,

My servant  Lady has asked me to tell you all she is aiming for 3-4 posts a week right now on her rebrand.  It is going to depend on life and us etc. etc. We are here to stay. Thanks to Ms Ann for the rebrand. 

Lady disturbed my wild turkey viewing for a picture!

Now to the mischief. As you may have read, I had a big fall a few weeks ago. I am back to 100% now, thanks for your concern. 

Lady and Man were terrified it would happen again and had no idea what to do. It was Aunty-Yam's to look for bird spikes. Lady would have never thought of this. Lady ordered it (picking brown to match as best she could). Lady and Man zipped tied it on the banister. This way the banister isn't damaged and they can be easily removed if needed. 

The spot I climbed to jump to that window

The view from Lady's office

Lady says it is a new trend. The medieval castle look.  She hopes it is more temporary, but has put our safety above ascetics. 

This has stopped us from climbing the banister and falling but has not stopped Styx from knocking all the things off other shelves. Lady and Man really need to get on this cat proofing.

Nature Friday - Spring - by Styx

 Hi pals, hi pals!

One place I can sit and stare for longer is outside. There is so much to see, including Callie's cat Ash. We have stare offs. I want to know why Ash can be outside and I have to be inside. Outside is where all the good things are.  Turkey, deer, birds, Ash, trees, turkey, deer, Ash, leaves, wind, moths, bugs, Ash, birds, squirrels, so much , so much!

Lady says to tell you she is making an effort to go out and walk. She says now that she doesn't have to go outside 87 million times a day she feels like she is missing spring. I said let me out, let me out! She said no. She is mean. Styx needs to go out and hunt. Styx is a fierce cat. 

Here are things the mean Lady won't let me experience.

Trillium - I can smell them, they are everywhere! 

Trees in the sugar bush - I can also smell these

The field I spy

The pond - too far for me

I hope you enjoyed all the things Styxy can't have.

your pal,  Styx
