Cat Week on Ellen

Apparently it's "Cat Week" on Ellen, so I figured what the heck. In the absence of anything relevant to post besides the gradual winterizing of the property, cat pics seem apropos. At least they're current pics.

Haven't turned the heat on yet, though the mornings are getting a tad chilly. Methinks a large weekend bonfire might take the edge off, and keep Jack Frost at bay for a few more glorious weeks....

Have had a few Close Encounters of the Opossum Kind on the back porch recently. In spite of our initial concerns re: cats interacting with a creature that is 40% teeth....apparently the two species have an "understanding". They don't even seem concerned about one another, and readily share space and food.

I can't help but think there is a lesson here for us and the Aliens.

As for the last three pics....I ventured out to the garage and noticed Gronk (aka Big Nug, also doing business as Perca) showing a particular interest in the clothesline. Upon closer examination, he had managed to drive a mouse out onto the line. This is somewhere between "cat on a hot tin roof" and "bird on a wire" in my estimation, "rodent on a clothesline". Fear not, I saved him (after the obligatory photo shoot).....at least for today.

The Infamous sibling "Nug Pile"
Feline Fur-niture
Cardinals are especially interesting....
Look again, there's a mouse on the line!
See, I'm not making this up
No, I did NOT Photoshop this l'il guy in there

Omg! Thanks for the morning laugh! That mouse... I imagine he's thinking, "Okay, so I got away from the cat now how the heck to I get down?"
(And the cat is thinking, "Go ahead. Stay on the clothesline. I've got all day.)
Too funny.
