It’s been a painting week for the peeps so the cats were on their own. Morgan is getting back to her normal routine of disrupting me and my desk when I’m on the computer. There is a lick mark on my screen and my post-its are all chewed. Life as I remember it has returned.
Gus is usually at command center at the back windows. He tracks the outdoor wildlife and he’s good at it. On Wednesday, he told me the squirrel had taken the lid off of the outside birdseed and was helping himself and dang he was right!
Gracie is off today but no post is complete without these two!
If only you could get at least one of them to help with the painting!

The squirrels aren’t appreciating a tattletale, but good for Gus … his little thank you to you for rescuing him and giving him the best home he could ever have.

Thanks. He’s been quite the addition. A very quiet laid back cat but he obviously adores Sasha the drama queen.

We watched our little black rescue cat take advantage of the freshly cut lawn to make attempt 1023 at chasing down one of the resident squirrels in the back garden yesterday. We admire his tenacity, but also the twisted sense of humor the squirrels undoubtedly have 🙂

My current cats are indoor only but back when I had an indoor/outdoor cat, I had one that chased anything including dogs that were bigger than she was and they were afraid of her. So was I!

Sliding into normal sounds good to me. It’s taken 6 months for things to feel normal in the new house. Still going to the wrong cabinets in the kitchen but I am beginning to think that’s a new normal thanks to age. Life’s good with a lick mark on the screen and nibbled post-its! Thanks for Sassy Cat photos… I just love them!

I still try to turn left at the bottom of the stairs to go to the office. It’s a wall. There is no room there but every couple of days I seem to need to make sure there’s no room there. I’ll call it age too.

I go into the guest bedroom carrying wet towels from the hall bath… should hang a right and go through the kitchen to the laundry room. Sometimes I just really have to wonder. I really think it’s because I am distracted. Like you say… it’s the squirrel in my head!

We are. We bought a house that “showed well.” After moving in we’ve found that there is a whole lot of work to be done. Way more than we expected but there are always surprised with a home purchase.

Do you have home inspections in your area? It’s part of the buying process here and a good one usually finds those hidden problems (unless they are under the house or on the roof… then you are on your own).

Yes and we had one. They found things I would call innocuous but they did tell us the gas fireplace didn’t work. They missed the furnace and all the kitchen appliances which were wonky. Maybe it doesn’t include appliances but they should at least test the ice maker.

I was surprised at how long it took for Morgan to visit my computer desk. That was one of her favorite spots. It’s different though. It’s a fold-up table but I did put her comfy bed in the corner. So far only Gracie or Gus has used it. Having Morgan annoy me seemed to normal this morning.
