Happy Thanksgiving

 

We would be more thankful for the Lady and Man if there were not hats involved

Nature Friday - Autumn Is Flying By - Styx

 hi friends, hi friends!

Autumn is just flying by. The days are getting so short. It is hard to find good sun. I have discovered the Lady's office window has the best morning sun.

While I am up there I can watch the wildlife.

There are lots of turkeys around. They should run as it is Thanksgiving weekend here.

We love the deer!

Lady took her hill picture. The colours are not as vibrant as some years. 

yes that is a speed bump. People drive dangerously on our little private road. This is to slow them down.

Must get back to my fall patrol. 

your friend, Styx, the sun lover, wildlife watcher

Wordless Wednesday - New House

 

Tuesdays with Tigris - New Things

 Dear reader,

I am not sure that you are aware that the Lady here is addicted to supporting animal rescues and animal charities. One way she does this is to get involved with online silent auctions. She loves the ones in the fall where she starts to buy her Christmas gifts.

She got a little crazy with one for the Hollibell Foundation,  an organization who provides free and low cost spay and neuter to pet owners and strays. 

I guess I shouldn't complain because besides some gifts for people, she got us lots of new things in a couple gift baskets for us.

Here I am enjoying a new nip toy. 

Here I am under a nip blanket playing with a new feather toy. 

I am a very good hunter.

Checking out one of the two new beds. Our first cat beds. Lady is guessing we won't use them.

The new things are nice and fun, and we are glad our Lady is able to help other animals.

Mischief Monday - Invasion -by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends,

We had an invasion on the weekend. Callie came over. A dog was in our house, a dog, a dog! Fortunately, she liked being here less than we liked her here, so it was only for a short period of time.

Me thinking about pouncing Callie

But there was a bad thing about this too. This meant Lady and Man were gone more than I would have liked. You see, Lady and Man were taking care of Callie and her cats for the weekend. They, especially Lady went next door a lot.  They didn't want Callie to be alone for too long at a time.

Lady and Cinder - yes when Lady walks at dawn/dusk she wears a safety vest

Lady giving Callie some love and Callie gave her kisses!

I don't think I liked how much of Lady's attention was given to other animals. I was so mad, I even slept at her feet for the first time.

I hope we don't have to share Lady with Callie and her cats any time soon.

your friend, Styx

Nature Friday - Excitement From The Window - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends,

There has been so much nature at my windows. Lady was worried I may not be getting enough stimulation because she has had a very busy work month, and not been doing as much play time, but don't worry, your pal Styxy is getting a lot of activity, even if it is from his window!

I was just a little jealous this week seeing the neighbour cats chasing chipmunks, climbing trees and chasing the turkeys.

Then Lady told me that they had a bat encounter recently and all had to go get updated rabies shots, and I thought, maybe inside is a little better. (The bat was on their deck during the day, that was what was the most concerning).

There have been deer around too. Lady took these on a walk.

And while I, Styxy think the wildlife is the most exciting, Lady has convinced me to share some pictures of pretty autumn colours. So here is boring nature.

This is the tree Angels Lee and Phod posed at

I hope you enjoyed some of the fall. Now back to my window, I don't want to miss anything.

your pal, Styxy, the watcher of nature TV
