Today the Lady and Man celebrate being married for 87 million years (some days it does feel like that, although legally is its 30). We will be away again this week, but expect to return to regular scheduled programming next week.

FFF Nature Friday - Window Watcher
Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,
It is the best Friday of the month because we celebrate Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday.
I have a little poem for you
Why am I stuck inside
Staring out at the grass and sky,
When the dumbest birds get to walk free,
I wish I was a wild turkey.

Lanie's Log - The Newest Trick
I have been a prisoner for 282 days. In general, except when there is stranger danger, I can be very relaxed.
The Lady Warden (LW) has been working hard on a new trick, because I will already do it for the Man Warden and she is jealous. Mostly, I know if I am difficult she will give me extra treats. I am no fool!
The trick is sit on the LW for treats and then stay for pets. Styx has helped me work on this.

This brings LW a lot of joy.

Tuesdays with Tigris - Yes and No
Reader,
Sometimes I demand belly rubs from my Lady. I don't really want them, but I do and I don't and I do and I end up biting her. She thinks it is funny.

| Here she is just trying to capture my eye colour |
Then when I am done with her, I hide. She will only leave me alone if she can't find me.
I am also hiding because it appears the people have been approved to be a cat foster home so in August I may have to put up with more garbage cats.

Mischief Monday - Nothing Caught but a Catch Up
Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends!
It has been busy, busy, busy here. Things have been happening and I have been too tired to catch up.
First last weekend, our cousin Troy came. He was a nice boy, although Lanie thought stranger danger, strange danger, stranger danger, and hid a lot. Troy didn't get to see her much.

| Troy gave lots and lots and lots of treats |
Then Lady was gone for 1, 2, 3, THREE, whole nights. She had to go away for work. Man was in charge and it was good but not the same. We like our routine.
Then Lady came back tired and had to keep working, working, working, so when the weekend hit, she was done, done, done.

| Like my new sitting place? |
She says she has a quiet week this week. While you are reading this, she is likely driving cats to get spayed and neutered again.
We are all well, and busy, busy, busy so we are tired, tired, tired.
A very busy and tired Styxy
