Short short post.

I have a headache the size of northern Wisconsin this morning.  Thus a short post.

Here's our wee tuxedo cat, Ivy, snoozing in the sun.

I shall do the same, I think, once the sun hits the couch.

Have a great week ahead, all!

Maddie

This coming Wednesday would have been Maddie's 21st birthday.  

YAY ME!!

I do love Daisy to distraction, but I also miss Maddie most every day.

She was a great cat.

If I ever make it to the sunny side of whatever the great beyond is, I hope she's there to show me around.

Getting High

Daisy likes to get high.  Really high.

If we had a catwalk around the walls a foot or two from the ceiling, I doubt she'd ever come down.

Why should I muddy my beeeauitful  wee gray paws with terrestrial matter?  I am a creature of the airy heights!

This actual ascent probably wasn't too hard for her.  A hop onto the desk, a short step onto a bookcase to get halfway there, and then one giant leap for cat-kind and she has summited.  She did it all with stealth and ease.  Of course, for any dedicated traveler who has reached a goal, the question is ever present:  what next?

One quick hop, I jam front claws between the picture rail and the ceiling, start scrabbling rear claws into the plaster wall.... work  my way to the right 4 feet til I get to the top of the door jamb, use the top of the other door for support and BOOM! I can open the door of the cabinet at the top of the closet and I am IN where no cat has gone before!

What she'll do once she is in that rarely opened closet space, I have no idea.  But seriously, look at her face and you can see the wheels turning....

When you need to know, I'll let you know.

Such is the life I live with an adventurous cat....

Have a great week ahead, all!
