You still have your cats? We never see pics of them -- the last ones were almost a year ago.

Yup, he definitely hunted, attacked, and was trying to eat the filter. Hope this is all of it.

tele_mark says:
Cute -- reminds me of Moomies!

tele_mark says:
Admiring his handiwork.

OK, so here is an example of what we call the "orange gene", the "orange attitude", or "being possessed". This is what I found this morning. These are sediment filters for my well. They were in a box on the floor next to the well tank in the basement. They are tightly wrapped in plastic and weight 1 lb each, and are $13 each. Somehow, he got them out of the box, which wouldn't have been easy, and then dragged them upstairs and then completely shredded one and started on another.I couldn't find Storm anywhere -- he was probably waiting for me to explode. Instead, I couldn't stop laughing, and he finally gingerly came out of hiding. Ambercat, on the other hand, was quite proud of himself! Of course, now I have to keep an eye on him again for awhile in case he was trying to literally eat the filter.

tele_mark says:
Yup! Growing fast!

Mikesch, just visible in the second window from the right, sitting on the cat perch. Or, alternative caption -- coyote's brief view of things, before they quickly make like ghosts again -- if they know what's good for them!

The Retiree, resting after a strenuous stretch of sleeping on the grass in the shade for several hours, in preparation for resting inside on the rug after the draining sprawl on the lounge chair under the awning.

tele_mark says:
He made it from the desk to the shelf in one casual leap a few minutes ago, and was very proud of being the best jumper in the house!

tele_mark says:
That's about as big as Storm -- very fluffy cat and a small girl!

tele_mark says:
That's an armful!

tele_mark says:
Hey, there's a long lost Picato alumni!

tele_mark says:
pmgr111 has it right! No such thing as a messy bed to a cat -- just lots of options to wrap themselves in the pockets by themselves.

tele_mark says:
How is she doing? Still staying well?

tele_mark says:
He always looks like he's right off of a German Coat of Arms!

tele_mark says:
He definitely likes and trusts me, but like Storm, he doesn't like being picked up at all. That's the last thing left that defines them as definitely still and always feral. If you pick up Storm and hold him past maybe 20 seconds and relent, you'll need Band-aids at best!

tele_mark says:
Hopefully one day there will be a big motorized awning right above where Mikesch is sitting.

tele_mark says:
I just want to give him a peck on the top of his head!

tele_mark says:
I second this!

Cute!
