I missed Talk Like a Pirate day!

I’ve been too busy being productive and sensible and forgot that there’s one day a year to set sail in fantasy.

However, there’s always Basement Cat to encourage us to get into mischief:

“Where’s my snack?”

Last night one of the cats caught a mouse or a small rat and brought it in. I heard the cat shuffling and jumping in the kitchen as he darted around, batting, “surrounding,” “losing,” and pouncing. His brother was attracted by the noise but he wasn’t inclined to share. So I opened the back door and he left with his prey.

A few minutes later he was back, thumping around. This time, when I looked, he had a large, dead rat. It was not only dead, but cold. So either he killed it earlier or something else did. I took this one away before he could lose interest and leave it on the kitchen floor for someone to step on in the morning. The cat was disappointed until I gave him some cat treats as reward and compensation. Before I dropped the rat into the garbage, I weighed it. It massed 132 grams, or just over 4 ounces. I would have said it was at least six.

Ex nihilo

I don’t know about cats coming out of nowhere, but dust balls seem to.

Sleeping cat

Do you ever wonder why cats put their foreheads on the floor and look at you upside-down?

Pussywillows, cattails

It’s forsythia season, pussywillow season, and cattail season. The wind-pollinated trees are blooming with their little green or dark-red flowers. Leaves are starting to sprout.
