Lanie's Log - Happy Together

 It has been 191 days since my capture. 

I hate to admit it, but it turns out, I might like being a house cat. This week, not always pictured because as soon as the phone comes out, I stop doing what I am doing, I have amused the Wardens. Some of the highlights were eating dinner upstairs; playing laser pointer with Lady Warden for 45 minutes (I like to play in the morning now too some days); taking treats from the Man Warden while he was standing; Letting the Lady Warden pet me while I was eating upstairs; having a tussle with Styx in from of the Wardens; just spending more time in the living space upstairs when they were there; coming out and leading the Wardens to my room and my tree for love. 

Apparently I have exceeded my Wardens expectations, and have been the model prisoner.

Tuesdays with Tigris - We are NOT Spoiled

 Reader,

I refuse to acknowledge I am spoiled. I believe my mental and physical well being is adequately cared for by the Lady and the Man. Sometimes barely adequately enough (my dinner was 20 minutes late and some mornings I have to wake the people up for breakfast , and I have hared something a VET). 

On Saturday, after pickleball and errands, the people returned with a new toy from "clearance" whatever that means. 

Note the amount of floor space still available behind me for toys

This one was a instance hit, with all 3 of us. 

I was the Queen of the Castle

Great spot to smack Styx from

I love the tassels and the dangling toy

The people made fun of my size on this - very rude

Even that other cat I don't like, enjoyed it

Lady and Man did a great job getting us this fun toy. Thank you clearance, for helping make this possible.

Tigris, the Great 

Mischief Monday - Do We Have Snow?

Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

I hope you had a weekend that was fun, fun, fun, Our weekend was lots of fun and the people were around more than usual, so that was nice. Grissie is going to tell you about something fun, fun, fun that happened, because today I must host. 

Making my serious host face while I help Lady

Today is April 27. Do we still have snow?

This was the yard at almost 2 pm yesterday. This is what is left. 

Can you believe it, there is still a little snow! It is almost May!

Sorry Sunny and Aunty-Yam - you are so close, so, so, so close, but there is still snow in the yard! 

Friday will be my last day as contest host! Will this be the first year we don't have a winner?

your pal, Styx, contest host with the most

FFF and Nature Friday - Spring and Contest - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is the best day of the month. It is the last Friday which means it is both Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday and I love them both. They are both so fun, so fun, so fun. 

I am so excited I don't know where to begin, where should I begin? What should be first!

Lady says I need to focus, focus, focus and she said to start with the FFF part, which will capture the nature, and I can do the contest last and build suspense, like a good thriller. So to build the suspense,  here I go.

Warm sun, warm sun,

I love you.

You make me sleepy,

yes you do,

You take away the snow

You make the flowers grow,

Warm sun, warm sun,

I love you.

The end

The early flowers are starting to appear. 

Now onto the contest.

I am sad to say, that on Wednesday morning, after some more guesses, we still had this snow.

Sorry to Fay, Phenny and Nelly, Walter, and Missy Mimi. We still had snow on your guesses. So close, so close, so close. Will there still be snow by the end of today or will one of the later guesses win. I will update you on Monday.

your poet and host, Styxy

Lanie's Log - Laser Pointer

 It has been 184 days (just over 6 months) since my imprisonment, and as I mentioned, I am starting to enjoy the big house. 

The Wardens are excited because this week I spent more time upstairs in the morning with them. I have been coming up to eat, but not staying around. As mentioned, I have discovered laser pointer and even played with Lady Warden one morning (taken from a video, made without my consent).

I may have been trying to bite the laser

I also like the new toy the Wardens brought Styx and Hiss (she just hisses at me so much, I think this is her prison name).

Lady Warden was so excited when I just sat upstairs the other morning. Apparently she was excited with how relaxed I was a loaf. 

My complaint this week is the Man Warden tricked me into his lap using treats. I did not like this. I love treats and will tolerate a lot for them, but lap love, I think this is too much.

The Wardens were reflecting on 6 months that they did not know if I would be here (both still in the house and as friendly) during those early days in October. But here we are, and we keep going forward.
