"catheaded" is not a word

Me-ow-my-oh!

13 May 2015 - This photo does not substantiate any claim that I am stubborn.  The water straight from the tap tastes better, is colder and clearly fresher, than that in my yellow dish.  So when I have the option, I elect to drink from the faucet.  I am not intransigent:  when the peeps are not around and I am thirsty, I lap from the bowl.  It is very understandable behavior, and if you thought about your own actions, I am certain that you would find something similar...maybe a preference...that so-called friends like to kid you about.  Hey, it's Florida:  stand your ground.

12 May 2015 - Sometimes I know how the head pin feels.  It's not that I am paranoid, but for every lucky break one can't deny the possibility of otherwise.  And then there are all those near-misses, some which produce a sharp intake of breath and some of which we are blissfully unaware.  I admit to being a cautious fellow but certainly not a fatalist:  if, while sitting at the end of the lane, I see a large orb rolling toward me, I promise to get out of the way.

11 May 2015 - We all must do our part, and it is a rare day that I don't put in some time at the office.  It is one of the ways (I'd say "many" but accuracy could be construed as self-promotion) that I earn my keep.  My needs are small, so my debt is likewise...which is why I feel no guilt in being very part-time.  But family ties are strengthened when all shoulder the burden...so here I am staffing the phone, an overdressed drudge.  There are no casual days with me.

10 May 2015 - Why would I stick around the scene of the crime?  Because the real perpetrator has already skedaddled.  Believe me, I walked into this mess while the clues were still warm, and will swear that I saw a dark shadow, an unfamiliar tip of a tail, rounding the corner into the living room.  Clearly we had an intruder...and I use the past tense because a search of the house has turned up nothing.  We were lucky in that no real damage was done, and the shorter peep, with her opposable thumbs, quickly righted the wrong.

9 May 2015 - My blogs of late may have given an inaccurate portrayal of my life, because I am definitely not an all-work-no-play sort of fellow.  In truth I require, and get, lots of beauty sleep.  My encouragement to the peeps to join me mostly is ignored, but I know what is good for me, and fortunately there are lots of choice spots in our domicile for just that purpose.  With the up-tick in the temperatures I am once again happy to stretch out on the screened porch, but often elect to keep company with the humans...as here.

8 May 2015 - With their less-than-optimal hearing and eyesight, the peeps need me to sit sentinel.  I consider this job well within my skill set, and it often proves interesting.  On routine patrol I have come upon all manner of animate things.  Should our living conditions appal you, allow me to add that these specimens were below me in the food chain, the majority were insects, and all were quickly dispatched to the outside world or their maker.  On duller days I try to be helpful by raking lint from beneath furniture and appliances...not part of my job description, but I like to keep a tidy ship.

6 May 2015 - Some of you might be curious how one of these blogs comes into being.  I don't claim to be the typist, but I am certainly the muse for each and every entry.  The shorter peep and I have known one another more than ten years, and we have a comfortable working relationship.  The process begins with the photograph, and the words flow from there.  Some days it all comes together more quickly than others, but as a rule it doesn't take more than thirty minutes.  Once I have given my nod of approval, it goes to press...and then my latest thoughts are out there, singing hosannas in the cloud.
