It’s me! Gracie! The peep did it again. She got wrapped up in peep things and didn’t post yesterday. It’s hard to get good help these days.
it’s been a stressful week for the peeps. They are putting in new flooring on the second floor. Big decisions. They had all sorts of samples home and we cats weighted in. We liked the carpeting but the peep rolled her eyes. She said we barf too much for carpeting. Big decisions stress her out but it’s done now. Onto the next big decision!
While we were all rolling on the samples (and the peep was ignoring us), not much else was happening. Summer came bouncing in. It was 84 degrees in the house yesterday. That’s warm. We weren’t in the mood to eat except for Gus who is always in the mood to eat. The peep talks about putting him on a diet. That always is chaotic in this household. Morgan and I are grazers so we don’t eat all of our food at once. Gus swoops in and steals it in the guise of “cleaning our plates so the peep doesn’t have to.” Flimsy excuse.
It will be a busy week. We are getting new furniture so we will need to “fur” it up. Maybe a nice hairball to establish ownership. You never know what cats will do.
Here is a pic of Sasha being, well, Sasha. Right now she is watching Whiskers the next door cat. I think she’d love to get “in his whiskers” if you know what I mean! Have a great weekend all you wonderful peeps out there!
Whiskers is a serious floof! Glad your flooring decision is made π

Gracie – you tell a good story and were exceptionally cute in that photo but where is your byline? I don’t know who is floofier, Sasha or Whiskers. I’ll bet both of them were hot with all that fur at 84 degrees. Too hot too fast and yesterday we had snow.

Sasha and Whiskers are equally fluffy but from living outside Whisker’s coat is thicker. That same fur that insulated them from cold also insulates them from heat. They all like their sun puddles no matter what the heat is.

That’s interesting about Whiskers’ coat being thicker – I know that applies to squirrels who get thicker fur and a fat layer as cold weather approaches, but didn’t realize it applied to cats and I didn’t realized it insulates them from the heat. Thanks for enlightening me on that!

That works for most if not all outdoor animals. Nature’s way.

Whiskers is a handsome floofy boy! It’s nice to hear he has a sibling and they lead a charmed life.
New furniture is something to be excited about. New flooring make me nervous! I can’t make those decisions anymore since the move to this house. Thankfully we put all new tile down before we moved in. Nice cool tile… we need that here in Floridadee. Good luck with all this week!

I much prefer decisions that are easily changed if you don’t like it. Flooring is not one of them. Whiskers is a sweetheart. He is not canoodling with his friend Izzie on the outdoor furniture next door.

It’s a shame Whiskers wasn’t adopted when he was young. At this point he’s wary of people except for his caretaker.

Oh my…….Whiskers is quite the handsome lad! Gus better turn up the volume on the romance thing. New flooring can be even more traumatic than new furniture. Good luck……..!!!

New flooring with a subfloor needing to be installed is a dirtier job than welcoming new furniture for sure! Yes, Whiskers is a handsome dude!

Since she can’t really meet up with Whiskers, Gus is safe. She loves him too. She will go find him to cuddle sometimes.

He’s about 6. That’s old for an outdoor cat but he is very savvy and has a good gig. Protected shelter too. My neighbor takes good care of them.

That is some fancy floof on Whiskers. And if he goes outside in the winter, well, no wonder. That’ll keep him warm. Does he deliberately taunt the indoor cats, or is he indifferent?

He and his sister Izzie live a charmed life for a semi-feral. They have a heated hut and two squares a day. I don’t think they intentionally taunt. That side of our house has a big drop so my cats are what is essentially a second story window. The outdoor cats enjoy lying in our planted bed near the nepeta (catmint). Win-win all the way around. Once in a while Izzie will come sit on our front porch. There are glass sidelights and she and Sasha do a stare down. No one wins though.

Wow, Whiskers really is floofy! And he looks like quite a big specimen to boot. Flooring decisions are always vexing. It’s easy to second guess your choices. Good luck when it comes time for the replacement work.

Whiskers is a large cat. Very beautiful but not friendly. He’s lived outside all his life. He has a girlfriend Izzie that lives there too. The replacement work will involve putting in a subfloor on one section. So not looking forward to 3 days of intruders.
