Fur coats can be useful!

Saturday PhotoHunt - Space.

The theme this week is

SPACE.

Someone is invading my SPACE!













I didn't mean to... didn't know it was your SPACE!

Saturday PhotoHunt is brought to you by TNChick.

Saturday PhotoHunt - Breakfast.

This week's theme is
BREAKFAST

Rinli, the cat on the right, enjoys dry catfood. It fills him up when he's hungry.
Tris, the cat on the left, is not allowed to eat the dry food as it upsets her elderly stomach. The trouble is that she loves it!

"I want some of that. Gimmee!"

"Mmm. Lovely breakfast!"

You'll find many more breakfasts over at TNChick's. Drop in and try some.

Happy Hunting!

Camera Critters

Sunday again, and what better way to start the day than to enjoy some
Camera Critters?

I have two different pictures for you this week.

The first is Rinli, a large but active cat, perching on top of the nearly 6 foot tall fence at the end of our garden.

The planks might be as much as 1 cm thick (less than ½ inch). He's resting his front paws on a support post, but most of him is just balanced.

The second picture is of a visitor to our old bird table yesterday.

A young robin, just fledged and still well speckled, waiting for mum or dad to come back with some food. He's still too young to have taken to the idea that he can find his own. Hey, there's some behind you - and at your feet!

Visit our host Misty Dawn for her great pictures, and the dedicated Camera Critters site for other participants.

Slaves

No, this isn't a human-rights post - under these circumstances humans appear to have few rights. I'm talking of humans' existence to care for, and pander to the needs of, various creatures sometimes known as pets.

Last week I posted pictures of my owners trying to take over my blogging. I had several comments from people who suffer in the same way.

Heather, Ter, and Welshcakes Limoncello have been befriended by dogs.
Now dogs like company, and they love it if you come down to their level (lie or sit on the floor, play with them.) They love to join in.
Badger will be 14 in May, and mostly behaves like an elderly dog in need of plenty of rest. I say "mostly" because there are two occasions when she still behaves like a puppy. First, when I brush and comb her in the mornings, because she knows I'll be taking her out for a (whisper this!) walk. The second occasion is if she finds me doing some exercises - on my mat on the floor. Wow! And yippee! Fun on the floor! PLAY! End of exercise session.

Cats are different. Cats like to take over. VP, Barbara, Max-e, Damama-t, and Teena have been taken over by cats (although Damama's are at one remove, and Teena also has a dog) And, of course, Daisy is a cat!
Daisy is very good at all sorts of things.
Cats do not like to be ignored. Cats do like being warm and comfortable. When their slaves sit in front of those computers they ignore cats - so cats sit in front of them to be noticed. Laps are warm and usually soft - and available under the afore-mentioned circumstances. Need I say more?

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of Rinli, playing my game of Sudoku for me. I can't illustrate the time he deleted my e-mails for me - I was too busy to take a photo!

But we love them really, don't we?
