Mischief Monday - I Want To Eat Them - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

Yesterday was a special day, it was international women's day. It is a very important day as women and girls are not getting fair treatment in the world. 

Every year, one of Lady's co-workers brings in flowers for all the staff (even the 2 men who work with 26 women, because they are allies and they are brave enough to work with 26 women). 

I was very, very happy to have flowers. So happy. 

Yummy flowers

Lady did not want me to eat them.

It took a lot, but she finally found a place I could keep them safe.

I tried everything to figure out how to get them, but I couldn't. 

How can I get up there

I want the flowers

I was very sad I couldn't enjoy the flowers too.

you pal, the flower loving Styxy

PS - sorry we weren't around this week. It was a crazy work week, Lady had a headache still and on Sunday our usual chill day, Lady went to have lunch with her family and drive her cousin, who is returning to his tour in Latvia after a short leave, to the airport.  We hope you are all well and know we are thinking about you all. 

Nature Friday - Tropics - with Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends.

I have missed you.  Lady has been so busy, so busy and she was a little under the weather (she is right as rain now), and is behind in everything, but loving me and the girls, and Tigris got my mischief Monday post and I have had to play with Lanie a lot and we are just so busy, but good. So good. Can you believe I have been in this house for almost 11 months? I may be the luckiest cat alive. 

In case you forgot what I looked like

Lady says I should get back on topic. We are at the end of winter. One day it was above freezing and the next it was like -28C/-15F. Can you believe it? Lady was telling me I can take over the when will winter be gone contest starting next week. She said Lee and Phod hosted it for years, and even though she isn't out in it the same, she thinks it would be fun to watch the snow melt. Watch for details next week. I am so excited to host something so excited! Host Styxy, it sounds great. 

Because it has been cold and winter has felt long, I borrowed some pictures from Lady's trip. These are from Grenada. She is going to tell you more next week, but here is some fun and sun until then.

People asked what Man was eating this week - he was actually drinking from a coconut! 

Pretty in Pink for Rosy and Sunny

Lady watched this dog and goat play in the streets. I wish I had a goat.

I hope you enjoyed this Nature Friday. Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting.

your friend, Styx

Lanie's Log - Apparently I am a Cat

 It has been 135 days since my imprisonment and the Lady Warden made the comment this week "It is like you are a cat." She kidnapped me and just figured out I am a cat. What is wrong with her?

Seriously, I think she may be referring to the fact that as I mentioned, I have started to play. The Wardens, who had heard it before, have seen it. I will actually play ball with Man Warden. I don't play with Lady because I still prefer to be most active at night and she goes to bed really early. 

Those who follow on the socials, may have seen video. The Lady Warden is useless at getting video here, so she screen shot some pictures to share.

No play but here I am sitting beside the Lady Warden for the first time. Apparently this is a big deal.

 

Chillin' with my Man Styx

In other news, the Wardens did some rearranging of my cell and a deep cleaning and while I was not thrilled, they were impressed with how well I did. 

Apparently, I am doing a good job becoming a cat. I let the people touch me, I am a little more picky about my food and I am learning to play. One must find things to do when one is being held captive.

Wordless Wednesday - Friends - Styx and Lanie

 

Travel Tuesday - Search for the Sun - Winter 2026

 Reader, I sacrifice yet another Tuesday so the Lady can tell you all about her trip.

For those who don't care about the trip and only care about the cats, before Lady begins, here is your purrfect Gris.

Now on to the boring part by Lady.

Our next port was St. Vincent. We have booked an e-scooter tour, but it became clear to me very quickly that I was not going to be able to do this safely. I just did not have the balance. So I sent the Man off on this tour (and he has not received his pictures from it) and I walked the port.

I walked sort of aimlessly - paying only enough attention to know where the port was. In the 2 hours I walked about 10 000 steps. It rained and it was sunny and it rained and it was sunny. It was the first and only time on this trip I was really alone, and I really enjoyed it. Unlike other ports, I didn't really learn anything about St. Vincent. I just enjoyed watching people and wandering. 

Here are some random pictures from my walk in Kingston, St. Vincent.

Mischief Monday - Love Hurts - Tigris

 Reader,

The following picture was taken between bites. 

The first set of bites was given because she was not petting me correctly.

The second set was given after the pets, because I was so happy. It was a love bite.

Lady complained, but it is not my fault love hurts.

Tigris, who was channeling her inner angel Bagheera who was a love biter
