The Boogie Beast

28 Comments

I didn’t talk about it, but last month almost to the day, we lost Neville.  He was our little kitty from the Mountain Farmlet.

Neville was aloof

This morning almost a month to the day Lil’Bit has vanished.  If she does not come home we will not be getting another kitty.

Lil’Bit required much attention

Some sort of Boogie Beast is making the circuit in its nightly hunts and none of us on our little street can keep kitties anymore.  I am guessing fox or coyote as there is never any evidence left behind.  This will be the fourth kitty to have vanished and as you may recall Smoky and Clause just disappeared overnight too.

RIP kitties

Squirrel Tease!

24 Comments

Before the kerfuffle of the clear-cutting on the Mountain I had taken these pictures of a squirrel teasing Claus.  He had Claus captivated for over a half an hour or more!  In each picture I am amazed at the squirrels apparent lack of fear.

The pictures had to be taken through our dinning room window and so are not as clear as I would like, but oh so fun!

CLICK for better squirrel viewing and for the captions:

That’s him on the left…
Now the right…
Face off! Are you kidding me? (He’s on the r just above the fenceline) 😉
“I flick my tail in your general direction!”
POOF!
“I’ll get you, you rascally squirrel!”

Have a fun weekend, Ya’ll!

 

Photo Friday: find the Claus

Find the kitty!

Where-is-Claus

OK, I sorta tricked you.  Claus is not in this picture.  Although, there is a good-looking leaf pile replica that some of you found right off.  Good eyes, my friends!  🙂 

This morning I was looking into the back forty when I noticed Claus was up on the chicken’s run.   You may or may not recall that he has a bum knee, so this was unusual.  Running (well, OK limping actually 😉 )  to go get my camera and take a picture of this amazing kitty feat for Bob, I got back and he was gone… 

or was he?

There-he-isFunny Boy!  If you can’t find him in this picture then click to enlarge it.

NOTE:  Sorry for the grainy shots, but they were taken through the dining room window. 

Have a Blessed weekend!
