Midday Siesta

Just when you think you know them, one goes missing. Blondie loves the garage and the filthy, dirty rug at the people door. Most evenings (at least until 10 PM) she and Buddy will be found lounging out there. This morning, after her hour out in the grass and on the deck, she went to the garage and has been happily "resting" there ever since.


BK, demonstrating his true background of "feral" likes to enjoy the screened in porch. From this vantage point he can see Chuck without the threat of attack. Although the porch was screened for all, BK uses it the most. He has really settled in to the rhythm here and is part of the "colony" at Casa Del King.

Then there is Buddy - what a sweetie. When not in the garage, he will either be under the chair in the living room, or in the closet. He doesn't like rainstorms or other loud noises, so seclusion is his comfort. He is also very afraid of the ceiling fans - probably something to do with his life before being found on the bike path.


Black Beauty - finally located! No, she wasn't lost - she knew exactly where she was. I just couldn't find her - behind the television is a now locale for her (she is usually found on top of the kitchen cabinets lolling in a basket). The "indoor" kitties are still made at me for yesterday. They received their monthly flea treatments. Only BK avoided the monthly ritual - mostly because (a) I can't catch him and (b) if I did, he would likely scratch me.
Now that the mystery of their locations has been solved (and Buddy has moved into the garage with Blondie, while BK had a snack and returned to the porch), I can get back to the day's activities. Time to locate the job that is out there and waiting for my application. I agree - it is already there, waiting for me.

I wish I were a cat with a loving owner like you!
