Home, and pics
We're back from the island. It was a short stay this year, but the cats
seem to be quite content to be home. At least they can sleep in peace without keeping one eye open for scary d*gs and big mean Kasper, who used to come to our shack expressly to bully Mir and Caliban. The doxie that drove away Mir the other summer visited once and rushed around barking wildly. My sister finally caught her and took her back to her owners. Fortunately, Mir wasn't nearly as upset this time. The doxie is starting to look veryv grey around the muzzle, and her owners thought she didn't have it in her to go running off, so they hadn't watched her very carefully. At least that's their story. Well, all's well that ends well. She probably won't be around for very much longer. Caliban did not go swimming this summer, though the swallows had their nest under the dock again. In fact, the swallows were very aggressive to the cats, diving at them every time they came anywhere near the nest, and Caliban seemed quite afraid of them this year. I have pictures, though maybe less than previous years. The only cat I didn't get a shot of this year is handsome Kasper. The others are (in addition to Mir and Caliban) Mir's brother Emil (he looks like Mir in the face, but he has about three times her body - chunky boy) and my sister's cat Ronja (tortie), who had a rare moment of affection. http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o...i/Summer%2011/ -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

The Island reminds me of a camping ground we used to go to all the time - once even rented a cabin with an actual bathroom, pure luxury! I really miss doing that, having long leisurely breakfasts on the deck overlooking the lake, sigh, I guess that's forever behind us now. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
