Birds are serious business, and normally playful Kitten Miri gets focused when they’re nearby. Even more serious: Getting her paws washed.
Miri is Serious
Weekend Open Thread
We’re having open thread on the patio today, because reader N. Fritz is introducing us to a new friend who leads a life of danger.
This is Ramses. His human is my bf’s sister. Ramses shows up in our garden sometimes, and now that Mutz (rhymes with “puts”) is no longer a rival, we try to make him feel welcome. Shortly after this photo was taken, a neighbor reported that Ramses darted across the busy street in front of our house and “may” have been hit by a car. We’ve all spent a couple of nervous days until this afternoon, when my bf’s sister reported that Ramses was alive and well. Phew!
“Man’s Best Friend,” My Tail
Look at him. Always eating from my dish, sleeping in my sunbeam, and does he ever get in trouble? Nope, he just does that trick with the big puppy eyes, shows his belly and the humans are all “Daww, hooza gubboi?”
