Cats in the great outdoors

Our kitties aren’t what you’d call wanderers by any stretch. They hang out where we hang out. So last Saturday we were all enjoying a little sunshine in the back yard. Kaiti and I went inside for a bit and the next thing we knew, Kaiti’s cat had decided to go for a grand adventure, up the neighbour’s tree! Unfortunately, the neighbours little dog spotted her and that left Rusty (aka Poopie) in a rather precarious position…

Here she is, a little unsure about how to proceed. Kaiti was out running errands, and I couldn’t get Rusty to come down. In the end I phoned Kaiti and they drove back to the house to help coax her down. I couldn’t resist taking a few photos. She didn’t seem stressed, she just didn’t want to move out of this tree! The dog was long gone, but she still kept staring at the neighbour’s deck like she expected it to come bounding down the stairs at any second.

Meeps watched from a safe distance

Meanwhile, my cat Meeps kept a low profile tucked under a bench beside the Bleeding Hearts, where she could feel safely out of the way while still keeping an eye on things.

It ended well, with Rusty making her way down safely and both cats decided it was best to get back inside and tucked in for a nice long cat nap! I had plans to take some photos of new yarn and some work in progress pics, but in all the excitement I just plain forgot. Sunday was a lost day, and today we had a ton of rain, wind and dark clouds, so the photoshoot was cancelled again.

Tomorrow I’m working (election day in BC), but hopefully Wednesday I’ll have recovered enough to talk a little about some of the knitting I’ve been up to. I know it’s been way too long since I’ve posted much.

word

It seems my word is ... WHY?

You see life as complicated and intriguing. The only thing you know for sure is that you haven’t figured it all out yet.

You question everything and believe very little. And whatever you believe is likely to change.

You are interested in theories, philosophies, and religions… even if you don’t buy into any of them.

You are also fascinated by how things work. You’d like to understand as much in the world as possible.

What’s Your Word?

Doozers knit and so do I

Anyone remember Fraggle Rock?

How about the Doozers?

Gotta love that they knit! (the title says Fraggles knit, but they are actually Doozers - Fraggles are a different kinda thing)!
