Wordless Wednesday - Styx vs Squirrel

 

Tuesdays with Tigris - Hunting

 Reader,

I am the best hunter in the house. I have proof.

Our house was invaded by a robot mouse. 

I bravely chased and hunted this mouse,

Until the batteries were almost dead. 

Garbage Cat hid from the mouse. 

As any good mom would do, after I had caught it again, I let my Styxy have my spoils while I gave him a little kiss.

Mischief Monday - I thought She Had Forgotten - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends, 

Wednesday was Canada Day. I was so, so, so excited that Lady had forgotten that she had purchased a Canada t-shirt for me, so I thought I was lucky, lucky, lucky and was going to escape the hat tax. No, no, no, she remembered and I had to wear it and have my picture displayed on surveillance capitalism sites (aka social media).

 

I do look very, very, handsome. Lady had the audacity to say I had to pay the tax while the girls did not because I just cost her $87 million at the cardiologist. To that, I said . . . .

a very handsome Styx

Nature Friday - A Wild Birthday - Part 2

Lady here, to share the second part of my birthday adventure. After a day in Parc Omega, we stayed for Cocktails with the Wolves. This was a small group experience (up to 30 people) who would go with a guide to the enclosure of one of the park's packs, to learn about them in the wild as well as life in captivity. These Grey Wolves, were ready and waiting for the raw meet they were served as a treat so we could see them.  While the interaction was going on, we were treated to dinner (not a sit down dinner, but canapés) as well as beverages.

While the day had been amazing this was a super special event that I loved. We learned so much, especially about the care of them in captivity. 

Here are some highlights.

Only glass between us

We had one more event at the park before we left. They have created a light and screen show to tell the story of a lost wolf cub. I can't describe the amazing effects this 45 minute walking show displayed. It was really cool. Here is one of the opening sceens (the lights changed so the wolf moved).

That was my perfect wild birthday. 

Lanie's Log - But Missy G Said I Could

 It has been 254 days since I moved inside.  I have mainly lost my feral status, but I have kept my tortiude. 

I need to give you a little context. Lady Warden (LW) had a bestest family friend Missy G. Long time readers may remember that Missy G was sort of an adopted family member. She and her husband were LW's neighbours growing up and adopted family. When Missy G died in 2020 (not of Covid, her husband had died many years before) she left the contents of her house to Lady Warden and Aunt C. 

Missy G was the first cat lady, LW really knew. Besides having up to 5 indoor cats, Missy G spent a lot of time caring for outdoor cats. She had her own TRN type of program. Anyways, Missy G would have loved the adventure of LW having me. LW says she can hear her laughing saying "Oh LW". 

One of the things Lady took from the house was this big stool. Although I have 5 perfectly good scratching posts, I love to stretch and scratch on this. 

LW says "No" and I just look at her and say "Missy G would say I could" and she knows I am right and I get to scratch away.

LW can't wait until she can cut my nails.

Tuesdays with Tigris - Approved

 Reader,

The Lady decided to use some of her birthday money on things to spruce up the house. One of those things was a new mat for in front of the sink. She wanted something to go with the green and was washable. She landed on this jungle theme (Lady and her animals, she may as well be a toddler).

I approve. It is a nice soft mat to relax on, away from garbage cat.
