I'm taking advantage of a mild day to clean the porch.
Maddie takes advantage of every day to relax in her box full of paper!
Y'know..."Maddie in the box with paper" scans perfectly to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Now, try to get that out of your head. I know I can't.
A sleepy human = lame post.
A sleepy cat = beauty and delight and contentment.
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll all soon be back to this:
WooHoo!
But now...nap time.
Chez Ranger, indeed...our whole town, was caught onthe edges of the great SouthEastern snow of '11. Didn't get as much as most other areas, but it's been cold enough to keep the white stuff onthe ground instead of melting properly. Been a very pretty sight. Thought about taking Maddie out in it for a photo-op.
I will cut you.
But I didn't. She seemed quite content to hang out in the bedroom sun-puddle, having what amounts to a warm bath, I guess.
mmmm...foot...mmmmm
I love the little pink pads...
Look close...you can see the big big claws that go with the little pink pads.
DO YOU MIND?!?..for the love of....
Well, guess that's where the pics end...and I'll want to inspect my shoes before I stick my feet in them, for a while....
That's IT!!! I'm NEVER coming out again! NEVER! You people are dead to me!
Yep. You got it. We trimmed her claws again. Did *not* make for a happy cat. There was one claw that had punctured her pad again, but it wasn't bad.
And don't worry for the harmony of Chez Ranger...after a liberal, post-trim, application of Greenies, we've got this again:
Well, okay. Just don't let it happen again.....
Speaking of trauma and a heroic cat, go read about the Heroic Bustopher and how he saved his family from a fire! Send plenty of good wishes, as he was injured. Not by the fire, but 'cause the dog freaked out. His humans are taking care of him and he's expected to recover. (and the dog's up for adoption)
Back from the Winter Palace! Maddie had a good enough time. Rangers had a better time since Maddie never came face to face with Tabby. Whew! There were some hissings under the door, but it all went well. Save for the fact I forgot to bring my camera along and thus achieved no new pics of the cat-in-law. Tabby seems to have accepted LadyRanger, her sister and me as part of the family, now, and we got to dole out head-pats and toss the paper balls she loves so well.
Maddie, for her part, is happy to be back. She's planted herself in the sunpuddle on the cedar chest and proceeded to enjoy the familiar ambience of our home.
And me? I even got some earlight.
Doesn't get any better than this.
I hope you all had a blissful holiday. We wish for you a wonderful and rewarding 2011.
