This is the first Halloween in years that we haven't had Ivy representing the wee-black-cat demographic. It's made for a modestly sad day or two. We smile wistfully when we are reminded of her spooooky presence.
Boo!
Maddie, for all her magical self, just isn't the same inspiring feelings of Halloween-y-ness.
I don't get it...
We're happy we have Maddie, but we surely do miss Ivy.
Thursday was the 8th anniversary of Maddie coming to live at Chez-Ranger. Pretty much non-stop pettin's and moochies since then, I must say. I'd never had a mammal as a pet before Maddie showed up. Never entertained the idea of having a cat 'cause I'm allergic to 'em and Maine Coons (markedly less allergic to them) cost $$$. I'll *never* fathom what made Maddie's previous family give her up but it was a gift from <insert higher power of your choice here> to find this year old Maine Coon in our local shelter. Sure, she hissed at me when I put my hand in the cage to pet her, but I'm used to that reaction when meeting females for the first time. We've gotten along famously since. I hope you enjoy this little Maddie-palooza.
<sigh> I know. I'm a sap. I'm just glad there are other folks out there like me. Thanks for dropping by.
I have no brain today. Thus: a meagre post. Enjoy the pic.
No brain today?? You say that like it's different from every other day.
Thank you dear. I love you too.
Swine flu has been going around school. While I have managed to avoid the major funk, a sinus infection seems to have set in. Whee. Doc-in-the-box here I come. Meanwhile, Maddie gets to be Nurse Kitty.
Right! I'm scrubbing! Prep the O.R.! Time for Surgery!!
Surgery? For a sinus infection?
Absolutely! Time to start cuttin'!! And don't worry...I have the sutures ready to go!!
Um. Well. I think I'm feeling better dear. Thanks anyway.
A beastly-busy week here....blogging will be some older photos of Maddie. I trust you won't mind the reruns....
Here's a pic of Maddie *not* taking it easy:
She's having fun with some variation on string. Always seems to light her up!
Now, here's a pic of her taking it easy:
I'm going to emulate the latter pic. Have a good week, all.
Ranger is sleeeeeeepy. Maddie is sleeeeeeeeepy too. Only a few pictures today. But, since the pictures are of Maddie, I presume I'm forgiven.....
See? Nothing but sleepy. We're off to dreamland, now....zzzzzzz
Ever notice how cats can go absolutely spare on a new toy? And ever notice how they can decide to stop as soon as the camera comes out? Chez Ranger proudly presents Still (in the presence of the camera) Life with Feather:
Trust me, she'd gone gaga over it earlier.
Not exactly an action-packed thrill ride, but at least she seems fond of the toy. We'll rub some nip on 'em for next week and see if that ups the action-meter.
Maddie's been playing with the bag again. As is her usual mode of bag use, she's been *on* the bag, rather than *in* the bag. She's always been pretty up-front and open about with us about her likes and dislikes, so there's never been a lot of "...cat out of the bag..." behavior. Mostly just cat *on* the bag...
Hey, if it makes her happy...and it seems it does. Yay!
Okay, the bag can stay.
Grocery day is always a big day for Maddie. We bring home lots of new stuff to sniff. And, if she's lucky, we bring home a nice new....BAG!!
Saaaaay...this looks interesting...I'll bet it's fundamentally different from all the other bags I've ever been in. I'll check it out!
Hmmmm...big enough to hold me? Check! Chock full of catnip? Hic! Check! Enhances my cute? Check!
Squashable, dual-purpose? Check! Comfy? Check! What do you know about that? It's a bag!
I love bags! I do love ba...hey, is that a magazine? Glossy paper? Check! Comfy? Check! Enhances my cute? Che.....zzzzzzzzz
