Revolution Number 9

Tuesday was the celebration of Maddie's 9th revolution around the sun!  Happy Birthday, Maddie!

Maddie started the day with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese (her favorite!) and had a dinner of sliced deli turkey (her favorite!).

 And where might the dessert fork be?

There was also some scampering and grabbing and kicking and clawing with her new mousie-toy-on-a-stick.

WooHoo!  Got it! I AM FIERCE!!!!

We tried it as a hat, but no go on this cat in the hat...

<ahem>  this sorts not well with my fierceness, knave.  I know where you sleep, y'know...

Right...after we got that figured out, there was more playing.  And then, of course, there was napping.  Maddie is, after all, a senior cat, now.

 

Balderdash!  I'm as young as I want to be, and as fit as a kitten!  Now, cease thy blathering and let me dream.

Happy Birthday, Maddie.  And many many many happy returns of the day.

A New Toy and Some Catnip

We decided that Maddie hasn't had enough stimulation recently.  When we saw a new design catnip-mousie, we figured it might work.  A new toy and some catnip on the Alpine Scratcher really seem to do the trick!

I hope you'll forgive the less-than-sterling video quality.  The star-power of the cat should, I hope, compensate a bit...

Sleeeeeeeeepy

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

Still Life with Feather

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.
