First, Dad’s toes are somewhat better. GrandPaPa’s shower is getting fixed; naturally the tile and wall had to be torn out to get to it. Mother bought a hard drive for $60 and the computer dr. put it in for $45 so that saved a bunch for now. It is Windows 7 and Intel 3 but for its use…just fine. Dad did get the black velvet when he went to see GrandPaPa yesterday so the frame should come together quickly. I love that my vantage place is back again.
It is a perfect place to view the cats cross the street to our yard.
I sound the alarm at the first sign of fur; it puts them in a state of confusion. Never enough to turn around and go back to their own yard though. Cats are some of the biggest threats birds face in the wild; they kill like 1 billion a year and the cats around here are outdoor cats so we have a definite problem. It’s kitty time too if you know what I mean. More cats!

We have bunches of squirrels because of all the oak trees, I guess. We have a few rabbits. The cats belong to houses around us. Mom hates them because they hang out beneath the bird feeders and they poop in the flower beds.

Boy Lucy, not only do you know your numbers, you own them! Mama’s former Sales Manager would be very proud of you. A pretty darn good week overall I’d say. Glad you’re back at your post!

Very productive week!! Puts me to shame!! We have feral cats that get in our strip of a back yard and use it as a litter box! Yuck! It’s a real problem in Houston/Harris County! Wish you were here to tell them who’s boss, Sweet Licy!! I have a chair that would be perfect for you to spot them out the window and tell them what for! And then, you’d be handy for me to love on!! Tell Brother hello and lots of hugs to you both!! ❤️!!!

These are country cats; I bet it’s hard to find places to go in a city.

I have house cats around here who get to run loose. They are after my pair of doves that I love to watch. They also like the tiny finches that are in my Cypress trees. Sophie’s acts as my “watch cat” … She goes crazy and tries to get out ❣

Mom used to have some cats along time ago but no more. They were inside cats though.

It’s Mom’s favorite. She has 8 on the laptop but she just uses it in the desktop mode so it’s just like 7. Also the laptop gets use only when we are traveling.

Cats don’t last long outside here. We have coyotes. There is one of the neighbors that comes around once in awhile and uses the soft dirt by the house for a litterbox. Mom can’t catch it though.

I hope the coyotes don’t come too close.

No, they are a ways away, we just hear them at night sometimes.

Tell your local birds to dive bomb the cats. They should know what I mean.

I thought that it was always cat season. I keep getting requests to upgrade to Windows10. Are you going to do it? The computer expert said to wait. I never know if I’m being told that to avoid having to come over if there is a problem or if it is just not perfected yet.
