Fervor Unsaturated



Usually when we have been outside with an umbrella and bring it in to dry, we will find Fervor in his little cave.

In The Thick of It


Peggy is struggling over a complex quilt with many, many fabric pieces. Arnold wants to help.

Jungle Cat



Fervor gets in touch with his roots posing as a fierce jungle cat in Peggy's fern brought inside due to a frost advisory.

Breakfast Cat


We call Cleo our Breakfast Cat because she likes to be up close and personal when we eat breakfast. We draw the line at other times.

Sorry Cleo, You Have to Stay Home


We are on the road again (currently in Georgia). Cleo always seems to want to go along.

Sorry Fervor,...

...you can't come out now because Cleo is out.

Monkey See, Monkey Do


Fervor, a male cat about the same age as Arnold, used to regularly jump up on top of the curio cabinet. He has not done this for some time now. Tonight, for whatever reason, he jumped on top of the curio cabinet. Within minutes, Arnold was ready to repeat Fervor's feat. First he got on the back of Peggy's chair, bobbed and weaved to ascertain the possibilities, then he went to the top of the crow's nest structure near the window, then to the chair and finally back to the crow's nest. He checked the direction of the wind, adjusted his azimuth and elevation, bobbed and weaved judging his abilities and made a successful jump. The photo shows him reveling in his glory.

Arnold Bags a Bag



Simple cat toys are best. Notice Cleo zooming by in the upper right corner sparking Peggy's laugh.

Cowboy Cat


Just for grins I tied a bandana around Arnolds neck today. He made no move to remove it nor did he indicate in any way he was dissatisfied with it. Perhaps we can dress him up for Holloween.

The Privileged Class


I guess these cats know who these easy chairs are for, eh?

Reluctant Warriors

I took the following video last October but just now got it edited. I had to reduce 50 minutes to the 5 minutes shown here. I added a little sound effects but not much as I did not want to mask the sounds the animals were making. Arnold huffed and puffed and the mouse squeeks can be clearly heard. It looks like Cleo would like a pet and Arnold is a little unsure about how to attack the problem.

Off to Baltimore

Cleo wanted to join us as we prepared to visit A in Baltimore. Then we went on to stand among the millions for President Obama's inauguration.
They were glad to see us when we returned. ZZZzz.
