Silly stuff the furkids do...

Poor Scoote is fighting a losing battle here these days...

It's lizard season in south Florida, and her brain-damaged kitty (aka Gracie Ann Salt aka GAS aka The Great White Hunter) has been catching lizards and bringing them into the house daily.

Since Scoote is in charge of lizard removal, she's on her toes....every time Gracie comes through the pet door Scoote checks her speed. Slow means it's just her......fast means she's got a lizard in her mouth.

Yesterday Gracie got sneaky....she came in slow, with a great big one!

I have a rottweiler/sharpei mix and two giant gingertoms; all are rescues, all are cheeky as hell. It's a laugh riot some days and other days i sit in my car for an hour just to have "alone time".

Louie, one of my gingers, is the cleverest of the bunch.

When I first adopted the kittens they were utterly insane at night, running laps around my flat - smashing vases, slamming doors, catapulting themselves up and over my bed at all hours of the night. I was being woken 6-10 times every night.

I bought a spray bottle and started sleeping with it under my pillow. Finger on the trigger. When the cats started up, I wouldn't even turn on the light, I would sit up and spray the gun in rounds covering the whole room. This lasted for all of two nights....

On the third night I woke up to a soaking wet pillow and head!!!
Louie had skulked up and bit a series of holes in the bottom of the bottle, rendering it ineffective.

My cats love to go fishing with me across the road. They follow me there and back. There are sooo many fish in the lagoon right now, that sometimes all i have to do is get my net with the long pole, and throw popcorn on the water, and they jump like pirahnas! They get all excited when I catch a few, and they all walk back home with me. Then, they try to help me clean the fish, and watch me while I fry them! Their favorites are the tails and heads. They also bring me home bait they catch like frogs, crawfish, worms and snakes.Yum!

The Tigger saga continues, last night, I woke up with an incredibly hot arse, and I couldn't understand why .. turns out, my little furry shit had climbed inside my duvet cover and was curled up against me!

[Random]

At least it's not snakes...

poor lil snakes...

Sis has finally found something she can catch... Just waking up snakes...

*eye roll*

She catches them, brings them in the house, catches them, brings them in the house... The other cats are like.. *Dude, WTF* and just wonder what the hell this thing coiled up in the living room is....

I generally take care of the poor shocked, wounded things, but Mitmo just had her first taste of sis going.. *come look.. come look...*

She was not amused...

I took Bob out to lunch today. There is a small BBQ spot downtown that will let him come in the bar area. Which also houses the smoker. So Bob sat staring at this smoker. I will be darned if he didn't manage 1 chicken wing (dropped and picked up, meat stripped off, no bones), large hunk of chicken breast, a large hunk of pork and a slice of beef. That is in addition to the bites I gave him off my plate. He really likes fried okra by the way.

We have a dog and four cats--all rescues.

Freeway is our border collie/lab mix. He's a senior citizen, with diabetes, cataracts, and arthritis. If he wants to go out, he won't bark, but just stands nearby and stares pointedly at the door. Sometimes, he goes unnoticed, so Zoe, one of the cats, becomes his voice. She's a one year old, wiry, high-energy black cat with a persistent meow that sounds like, "Meeeep!" She'll cavort around him, meeping loudly, until we notice and let him out. If he's in another room, she'll run in and out of the room, letting us know that he has to go.

As a chihuahua, Bob likes to burrow under the covers of my bed. All you can see is a lump in the middle. The funny part is, if I talk to him, the lump wags. If I say the word "cookie", the lump begins to move.........and out pops Bob!! It is all about the cookie.

I have two Chi chi's... They are my heart and soul... The like to do what is often referred to as the Chihuahua 500... They think Bob is cute! I will try to find a picture to post... But for the most part they are very smart and have long since figured out how to *work* me... I love my dogs but I miss my cats terribly... Is there anyone else here who is a lover of both cats and dogs?

our grey striped teenage kitten(Grayson) likes to sit at the bar/island thingy that separates the kitchen and family room...he gets up in chair and will actually eat off counter if the pieces are small enough...he will also do this at the patio table

our white kitten Gracie has some brain damage(we think) from all the stuff she endured from birth...we have closed up the doors to turn on the a/c...this confuses her...she has to walk behind the blinds to the animal door,look at it and repeat several times before actually pushing herself out the door...she tends to either be wondering aimlessly or have a severe case of OCD bc nothing is simple for her...there is a routine to her randomness if one sits and watches

then there is the mini daschund--sweet,loving,issues with separation--he likes to keep our yard clean of cat poo......now on one hand this is nice(less animal poo to contend with) however the damage it does to his breath is horrendeous...it can be smelled from across the room

there is jo's queen-the long black hair,attitude cat---she will not eat normally with the other animals..we must put her on counter or keep the other ones at bay....however ALL of the animals now consider the big blue thing in the backyard as their waternig bowl--damndest thing i have ever seen---the 2 kittens actually lean over and put their front paws in the water as they drink

I am currently attempting to convince my sister to get a chihuahua. She recently lost her cat after almost 20 years. She has met Bob and liked him very much. But she is convinced that dogs MUST have a yard. Those of us who own tiny dogs know that is not really true. Chis can never put paw one on grass and are just fine. As long as they are socialized they do just fine in an urban enviornment. We shall see. I plan on beginning a chi puppy picture blitz to her email inbox. rofl
