Mischief Monday - Is She Trainable? By Tigris

Dear reader,

I am trying to decide if this Lady who has brought me home is in fact actually trainable. For someone who spends her days teaching and training other people, she is very resistant to change. 

For example - the other day I was enjoying a little face rub when she interrupted it to take my picture. She said I have a very serious face and she wanted to capture my smile. 

I clearly gave her a look to show I was not impressed. But did she put the camera away?

No, she continued to try and make me smile.

Do I look impressed? Does this look appear to be a Tigris who is enjoying this? No. Finally, I gave her a smile, just so she would put the phone down and focus on me. 

Hey wait, maybe instead of training her, this Lady has trained me! Clearly she is very good at her job as she tricked me. I am going to have to up my game.

Nature Friday - Failed Spring - by Styx

 Hi pals, hi pals,

I tired, I really tried to spring myself free when Lady opened the patio door. She wasn't fast enough to stop old Styx from racing across the deck, down the stairs to the bird feeders. She could not catch me I was the speedy Styx. So speedy (looking back, making sure my Man was following me, knowing I was in trouble). I was super fast and super brave. So fast, so brave! Fortunately the Man was fast enough to catch me eating grass. Foiled by hunger! 

I asked the Lady to take the colour out of my picture because that is how I am feeling about all of this. Grey! Grey! Grey! I so want to be free (at least some of the time). I am an adventure cat! 

Lady thinks she has figured out how to stop me from escaping again, but you know your old pal Styx will out smart her. I am the smartest boy ever! Outdoors for Styx, outdoors for Styx. Let's start a movement. 

My journey outside was very short lived, so I didn't get to full appreciate nature. I did see this sky before I was captured and sent back to my cell of a house. It has been cold and rainy or hazy from the fires. It has not been a great spring weather wise either.  It was nice to see the blue. 

I would have really liked to climb those trees and smell that fresh air longer. 

Because I gave Lady a heart attack, yet again, (I am very good at this), I said I would share these pretty flowers I didn't get a chance to eat. 

That was my midweek adventure into nature.

Let me be free and outside. Come spring me!

your pal, Styxy

Wordless Wednesday - Treat Time!

 

Mischief Monday - Attempts to Trick Us - by Tigris

 Dear reader,

I would like to report my servants the people I live with get crazy ideas, and as far as I am concerned attempt to trick us.

Friday night the Man cooked duck. While I could definitely got behind the man eating some of the meat, being offered the "juice" of the meat was not acceptable. 

Further, the Man tried very hard to convince us we wanted to eat it. This was very suspcious.

We held our ground, and I am sorry to report, no good food was given instead.

Nature Friday - Follow That Bird - by Tigris

 Dear reader, 

As you know I am a much more refined cat than Styx. I imagine myself as a tiger (befitting my name).

I spend less time plotting my escape to the great outdoors or the ceiling. However, last evening, I spotted a the following birds, and I must admit I was very interested and I really did want to go outside.

What is worse is that the Lady went outside to take the pictures and did not take me. I got angry.

If given the chance I would follow that bird and that bird (especially that big one).

Thank you to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event.

Mischief Monday - Crash and Play by Styx

 Hi pals, hi pals,

You are not going to believe it is me who caused some mischief. Not your calm pal Styxy who can just be found kicking back and enjoying life. 

The other night the dishwasher was full, and without thinking Lady and Man left a container on the counter. It made a loud scary noise when the ghost of Hailey, who was a counter surfer, threw it on the floor and smashed. Man was so happy to be cleaning up glass at 3 am. Bad ghost Hailey, bad.

In other news, to help me not be so busy (even though I have calmed down a lot), my people tried puzzles. First they tried the puzzle in the picture above. Then they tried the dog ball.  It was ok, but I knew it was for dogs.

Then they got me a cat one. It was ok. I get bored of working for food. Tigris refuses to work for food. It is beneath her.

Lady and Man are getting better at this cat, I mean ghost, proofing and I fear all the best fun will be done soon.

Lady said I should say, for those who read the deer and car story, that in the end, the car also lost. It was a write off and Lady had to get a new car. She said dealing with all of that was like a part time job. (It made her very grumpy).

your pal, who likes to play with ghosts, Styxy
