Since I didn't see her do it, maybe it was the lazy cat, but I doubt it. She has been digging in that gopher hole every day. I never see "Miss Kitty" do that at all. I am hopeful!

Shorty is a lot bigger than she was. She is over twice the weight when we found her.

Shorty says, 'Hi!" from the pile of leaves. She loves piles of leaves

or weeds, and now that fall is here, there will be no shortage.

"Hide and Seek" is a game that she loves.


She wants to catch another gopher.

Casey ~ Where are those cute pictures of your kitten and puppy?

Ha! I was bad and hijacked Timothy's thread. I didn't mean to, got distracted when I realized Leslie's avatar looked like our new kitty. (Timothy, if you're reading this I won't let it happen again!)

We got Oskar two weeks ago. His foster home had six dogs so he has no fear of Wren. A few days ago he started going into the crate when we feed her. He checks out her food, then snakes in and out of her legs while she eats. Wren ignores him. She is a VERY patient puppy.

Here's the pic of Oskar "playing" with Wren.



And a pic of him sleeping. Well, he was sleeping until he realized I was taking pics. (Yes, he sleeps on his back. Silly boy.)

So cute!

Casey ~ About how old is "Wren"?

Can you find the cat in the leaves?


I've enlarged it, but she is still rather hidden. She loves "hide and seek"!

Wouldn't it be nice for everything to be such fun.

Oh, here are some little bit better pictures of Shorty today....

fine photos of Shorty and leaves , Evelyn. What a playful companion!

Aw Jan ~

I didn't take the picture of the 2 cats fighting over a bird that (most likely) Shorty caught and brought to the front porch.

I would rather have them focus on gophers, voles and mice.

I'm a bird lover too, but it really helps to have an outside cat to keep the rodents under some control!

She loves to play. We just don't have all day to play with her.

Jan ~ Shorty is really growing fast. She's not a "little kitten " anymore. She still likes to run and play, but she is learning to be more "well-behaved"!

Yesterday, she waited patiently in the open shed and watched me from there. It was a lot better than having to put her in the basement. She was rewarded by a good amount of "lap time" after I finished planting bulbs for the day.

More work ahead, as it isn't raining right now.

Cute kittens - and Wren!

Shorty isn't a baby kitten anymore!

Yep, she's all grown up, but still a kitten at heart.

Barbara ~ Yes, she is quite a bit larger and she has her winter coat on now. Yet, she still runs and plays, but she doesn't fly over the fence anymore. She is a bit heavier now. Maybe in summer she will lose the winter fat.

My Lily is a bit of a layabout in the rainy weather!
